Connecting Windows 7 Ultimate To XP Network?
May 4, 2011
Ok ive got the same issue and still no connection or detection of the xp network... I can ping and find all of the computers via the Command Promt without issue...
Network detection and the network map however do not find any of the xp computers or the one legacy computer running windows 98.
this happened after windows update and I havent been able to recover network functionality.
It might be important to note that the other xp computers can connect to the 7 ultimate 64 computer and use its files without issue.

Just bought a new laptop Win 7 64bit.The main PC is an older Vista 32bit desktop.The laptop uses a wireless router (Netgear) to access the internet. Is there a way to printer and file share?The printer is HP C4440.I have already set the Host (Vista) PC to share files and printers under Network and Sharing Center.

We have an HP 2605dn printer connected to a Windows XP machine and networked to our office. We recently purchased two new PCs and have Windows 7 x64 on them. In trying to set up connection on the new machines to the networked HP printer, we can see the printer referenced in the 'Add a Printer' dialog box, but it will not connect. It says that it is "looking for .INF on <UNKNOWN>" and requires us to find this file before proceeding.
Is it because the host PC for the printer is on XP?

I can see that my home network is there but windows fails to connect to it. I've been though the troubleshooter but nothing seems to work. Now the reason why I know this network works is because my mother and sisters laptop works fine on the network. Also I does sometimes work. If I'm in the same room as router is seems to work fine. But when I'm in the other end of the house it fails to connect even though windows says it has 3-4 bars of the wifi signal. Also on a less important note, when if actually connects the bars on the taskbar only shows it full wifi signal even it it only has 3 or 4.

I recently assembled a new desktop PC, and everything is ready to use apart from the wireless Internet connection. In the taskbar, I see an icon of a laptop (?) with an X mark on it, and it says "No connections are available". I want to make a wireless connection, what should I do in order to access to the Internet wirelessly? Are there more to buy?

I have 2 windows 7 computer on a wireless network in my house. Basically I want to be able to share the drives on both computers so that i can stream media between the computer and also devices in my home (xbox360). I went to set the drives to shared in the properties for the drives on both computers, however, whenever I try to connect to the other computer through the network section I got this pop up asking for a password, I tried login passwords and no go. So I went into the sharing options and turned off password protection and it seemed to let me through, and i can see the drive i named and setup, only now when I try clicking on the drive I shared it says (windows cannot access//Name of Folder). How do I get this to work?

I connect at home wirelessly with no issues using Windows 7 Ultimate on my Fujitsu laptop. I don't really understand all the different types of network but currently I share with no one, and under the network settings it states 'Home Network' and then 'Ready to Create.'I was away for work recently at another site and they have an open wi-fi for visitors to use on non-work laptops, so it's passworded but other than that, it's totally unrestricted.When I tried to connect it found the wi-fi network with full strength but would not identify and connect - the password was okay as I when I tried an incorrect one, it stated just that.

I have two wireless networks using two different routers. I can connect easily to both networks from five of my other computers, some that use XP, one with Vista and one with Windows 7. I have another AIO computer using Windows 7 that will only connect to one of the networks although both the networks appear on the list of available networks and the signal strength indicates excellent on the network that won't connect. I disconnect the network that I can access, try to connect to the other but I get the advice that the computer cannot connect. I have typed in the correct codes, do everything as on other computers but it just won't connect on this one. After a few seconds the computer automatically connects to the previous network.

I have a laptop with Windows 7 and I am trying to connect to my home network. My home network consists of two other Windows XP computers connected to a router. I have the Internet connection that the other two computers have, but I cannot see any of their files and they do not show up as network places. How do I fix this? I am not a tech person and I don't understand all this fiddly stuff and I'm getting really frustrated.
The weirdest thing is, I was able to access the other two computers fine yesterday but now they do not turn up?? I have restarted multiple times but to no avail.

I get a BlueScreen every time I connect my computer (Dell M6300, Windows 7 Ultimate x64) to the company network at work. This happens with the network connection being wireless or wired! Also it doesn't happen immediately but takes from a few seconds up to several minutes until the blue screen comes. If I don't connect to the company network the system runs without any problems. This issue is perfectly reproducible. And until the system crashes the network connection is working. It also doesn't matter if there is activity on the connection or if it is idle. At home I can connect to my home network (wired and wireless) without any problems or crashes.
Problem Event Name:: BlueScreen OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.256.1 Locale ID: 1031
Additional information about the problem: BCCode: 7f BCP1: 0000000000000008 BCP2: 0000000080050031 BCP3: 00000000000006F8 BCP4: FFFFF80002A48798 OS Version: 6_1_7600 Service Pack: 0_0 Product: 256_1

Setup:
Desktop computer Vista
Laptop computer Win 7
On my network (wireless), my Desktop can find and use everything that is on my Laptop computer.
When I try to find or map out the Desktop from the Laptop, the Laptop cannot see my desktop at all (eg in the Network "explorer-type" window in Windows 7) .
I've checked my firewall settings, and my sharing properties on both computers, but I think I missing some setting somewhere that will let me connect from the Laptop to the Desktop (so that I can use my Desktop printer).

My WIndows 7 decktop is part of a small home network. I can access files from the network form the Windows 7 computer but I cannot connect to the printer on the network. When I run the "add printer" wizard, it correctly lists the printers on the network, all of which are attached to one computer. Of the ones listed, only one is a real printer. The others are things like Adobe, or a fax printer. I successfully connected the Windows 7 to the "Adobe printer" but when I try to connect to the Lexmark printer, I get an error message, "0.0000000a".
Also when I try "view network computers" from the Windows XP where the printer is connected, it does not show the Windows 7 computer as part of the network. THe Windows 7 had been part of the network prior to installing Windows 7 when it had Windows XP and it had no problems. THe connection to the home network seems to have survived the upgrade to Windows 7 on the Windows 7 computer but not on the others.

Have my modem connected to a switch and my desktop and laptop connected to the switch. The internet works flawlessly on my desktop with no problems at all. The laptop is connecting to the network but is not connecting to the internet. It tells me " 'Local Area Connection' not a valid ip configuration."
I have tried using the flushDNS script but it doesn't work. It hangs up on ipconfig /renew, gives me an error, and then completes the rest. The error is "unable to connect to your DHCP server"

I recently moved downstairs in my household and was overjoyed to finally be able to use the network hub downstairs. Ive been using wireless lately which has served me well for my pc, but not for my Xbox 360.
Anyway I decided to plug in the ethernet cable and see if I might be able to set it up on my pc and then save the settings to a USB stick so I could use it for my 360 (right now it wont connect, says it cannot get an IP adress).
I didn't set up the network (my father did) so at this point I cant fiddle with the settings. Everything should be working, but its not.
When I plugged my pc directly into the hub upstairs it worked perfectly, but for some strange reason down here the connection comes up as
Unidentified Network, No Internet Access
Has anyone else had this problem before? The hub should be working (i even plugged it in after taking the cables out, resetting it if you will, no dice).
Also, forgot to add, it says that there is no connectivity, but I checked the connection and it automatically gets the ip and subnet address, which works fine with the wireless.

I currently have two computers in my house. One has windows xp and the other has windows 7. When I try to connect to the Internet wirelessly the windows xp computer ALWAYS works. On the other hand the windows 7 computer is only able to get Internet access around 10% of the time.
The windows 7 computer is able to connect but there is never any Internet access. I get this picture with bars and an exclamation point on it. I've tried resetting the router but this is only a temporary solution that lasts maybe a few hours.

I have a wired linksys router that works fine. I'm not using DHCP on it, its setup at 192.168.1.1. My pc which only has a wired NIC, connects with no problems.I recently bought a tplink wireless router. I changed it so the ip is now 192.168.1.254 (it was 192.168.0.254 originally which meant I couldnt access settings to change from the default password, SSID).
I got the tplink wireless router, so I wouldnt have to be tethered with a wire on my laptop for internet. However, I've wasted time with tech support which I can barely hear or understand.I'd like to get this working, otherwise I'm sending everything back, wireless router and laptop.I can ping both the linksys and tplink from my laptop with no problems.I can get connected to the tplink wireless router without a problem but I cannot get to the internet.

I have found the reverse but have yet to find this exact problem. My computer, running Windows 7 64 bit, will recognize the printer but won't let it connect to the printer. The network drive is not even seen. Both the printer and the network drive is hosted on a computer using Windows XP 32 bit.
