View 6 RepliesI have an Eee PC and my main Desktop, both are running Windows 7 (same build.)
I want to be able to use a Homegroup, I really like the idea of it, but I want to be able to access my Desktop PC like it was in the homegroup even though I'm on another network (such as school.)
Would creating a Virtual Private Networking (via Himachi) allow me to create a homegroup between the two computers?
Any suggestions?
Wow I am so frustrated right now I cant remember the last time I was so frustrated! I have installed two fresh installations of 7264 x64 on two desktops. They are connected to a private network. I want to share the hard drives in both of them (say, C/: and D:/ )but I was running into all kinds of issues!!!
1) Tried connecting from one, got an error username and password but I changed the username and password many times only to have the same issue. Also it said username for pc1/user but I was trying to connect to pc2
2) after finally somehow getting access to the shares on pc1 and pc2 I mapped the drives, and upon restarting the computer I was unable to reconnect to the drives! Got odd errors, unable to reconnect. Also permission errors... ???
3) Even after it seemed to be working, I shared C: drive, but could not access it!!! No permission! I granted full access to everybody, but still nothing.
Why is it so impossible to do such an easy task in windows 7?
All i want is PC1 and PC2 should have their entire harddrives shared with each other... Is that too much to ask? The guy I was installing this for, is super mad that after all that time he doesn't have what he wants.
i am trying connect my second computer from my host pc, there both running windows 7, there both connected to a wired Rj5 cable no router, now the thing is i don't want to be connected trough home group Ive found its to slow to transfer files and takes up more processes etc, all i want is the second computer to connect online from the host computer, and last with windows xp i had no problems connecting both machine but now since ive put windows 7 on both its been a nightmare to network them, to much for Microsoft making there newer os simple.
View 2 Replies View RelatedThis is for my parents house. They have high-speed net that can only be registered to one computer, so running it to a router and then computers is not an option. We used to have it setup with net into "computer 1" then out to the wireless router. The new computer has only one ethernet port, so this can no longer be accomplished without buying another card, which I am very inclined to do. They are getting another computer that will also have Windows 7 and would like to get wireless working again, so...
1) I've tried an ad-hoc connection. I understand the concept and had it working for awhile but found it to be "finiky." I would always have to restart the connection everytime I wanted to use it. I couldn't get it to "stick." Did I maybe do something wrong or is there no way to keep the net connection open? I "saved" the network and set it to start automatically, but it would always close the internet sharing.
2) I haven't messed with home group...will this feature accomplish internet sharing easily??...without messing with any ad-hoc crap? I need everything as simple as possible, so if they have any problems I can fix it over the phone or they can figure everything out for themselves.
Like I said, worst comes to worst, I'll get them another ethernet and run it the old way...was just hoping I could simplify things and save some money.
How do I connect my existing LAN which utilizes a Linksys WRT54G connecting 4 computers, 4 printers and access from several locations in the house to an Actiontec PK5000 DLL Modem/Router? I am currently connected to the Internet via a Comcast Modem, however, I am switching to Qwest which utilizes the Actiontec. I rally do not want to completely reconfigure my LAN. My operating System is Windows 7.
View 7 Replies View RelatedThree Computers on a home network. Desktop in Office (Windows 7) . Wife's Laptop (Windows 7). My laptop ( Vista unfortunately). Norton Security Suite and all three. I have a network setup and a Homegroup established.
Everything was setup and working so that I could share files between all three. My wife was able to open a desktop file make changes and save it back to the desktop computer.
All of that changed. Now we get a message when trying to save the file. "You do not have permission to save in this location. Contact the administrator to obtain permission".
I have given the entire "MY Documents" sharing permission to everyone. I have checked everything. I have looked over all kinds of forums and nothing has worked.
I am to the point of doing a complete reinstall of Windows 7 on my Desktop.
I have a office setup where two of the computers run on windows XP professional and the other two run on Windows 7 home edition. I want to connect all of them to a common printer through the port. Both the computers on win xp have been connected successfully but the other two on win 7 I am unable to connect, seems some patch is required.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm not sure if this is a Windows 7 problem or a Dell problem. My last 2 laptops were Gateway and I never had this issue, but I'm finding that A LOT of people are having this issue and no one seems to be able to help. I click on "find album info" to update my music library and the window pops up, but not much else. The little globe in the top left corner spins for a few seconds and my hourglass shows up until I move my cursor, but that's it. Just a blank white page.My browser of choice is Chrome, but I'm sure IE is default for this task.
1. I've made sure [URL] is listed in my trusted zone in internet options.
2. I've turned off wmp in "turn on or off features," rebooted and turned it back on again.
3. I've made sure in wmp I allow internet to replace missing info by going to organize - options - library
4. I never have "work offline" checked - ever - but I checked just to make sure.
5. I'm not 100% positive, but I'm sure my firewall settings are okay.
This has been driving me crazy for weeks. I really miss my Gateway that ran Vista because the player was a lot better and I miss the advance tag editor. And my last Gateway ran Windows 7 but I never ran into this problem. I'm wondering if this is a Dell problem. I just got this about a month ago and the 1st thing I tried to do was install Chrome because I abhor IE. But IE wouldn't let me download Chrome. Finally I found the .exe file on my last pc and was able to install that way. Could these issues be related? Maybe it's IE9.Also, some people get a script error when they click "update album info," but I (and a few others) just get a blank window.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell Inspiron 1525 that I purchased in the USA, brought to the UK - had hard drive failure; which was replaced and then had Windows 7 OS installed (and now the laptop thinks it's a UK laptop too - ie: the @ symbol has moved - etc)... None of this has been a problem until recently when I moved back to the USA. I have a TV that I want to hook this laptop up to, so that we can view my video files on a bigger screen - but I've found that my laptop is displaying in PAL format - while the TV must have it in NTSC. I've been searching around and I cannot seem to find out where to change that over.... Should I put in an American DVD into the dvd player and switch regions?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have an HP laptop with Windows 7 on it and I just purchased a VGA cord in order to use my 50 inch Samsung Plasma TV as a monitor. (My main reason for doing this was to watch videos from HBO GO on it) I was able to get the hook up right and it does work; however, what is happening is that every once in a while, the picture on the TV screen disappears and it shifts back to my laptop screen. This lasts for about two or three seconds, then it shifts back to the TV screen. This does not appear to be happening at regular intervals; sometimes it happens ten times in a few minutes, sometimes it goes several minutes without happening.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI've read posts on this but I still can't get it to work. I did have my Windows 7 connected to my XP, but it didn't work with XP to 7 so I started fiddling with my XP and now I can't access my XP through 7.I don't know if this affects anything but my XP is connected through an ethernet cord because the wireless was unreliable, but my Win 7 is wireless.When I pull up network places on my XP, all I get is a broken link that says 'My Web Sites on MSN', but when I was looking for my 7 from XP, I found it under all MSN network places but it was under a browse box so when I closed out from the browse box, I didn't find it.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a Windows 7 workstation that people connect to remotely via LogMeIn.I recently decided to move it to my home LAN, because it has faster Internet than work LAN. My home LAN has many personal computers on it, with file and printer sharing enabled. Most of these shares are not password protected for convenience.So the problem is that this workstation is able to see and connect to personal computers. I do not want this. I've temporarily password protected as many shares as I could, but it's not a permanent solution because it's a big family, and there are many computers, and I probably missed some. Unfortunately I can't use that Windows 7 homegroup sharing feature because more than half of the computers are Linux or Macs or Windows XP.I've researched the ports used by Windows File sharing, and made an Access Control policy in my router to block IP and Port ranges specifically for this workstation, to try and prevent it from discovering my other computers, but it did not help. I suspect this network access policy only applies to IPs and Port ranges on the Internet, not on the LAN. (btw router is D-Link DGL-4300)I'm looking for some solution either by tweaking settings in the workstation to make it blind, or making some changes with the networking gear.
View 3 Replies View RelatedAll my PCs and devices map drives to an XP machine with 12TB or storage. It's getting a bit dated and I have been looking at WHS 2011.
I will be testing to see if it will run the applications that XP does (Coldfusion, Firebird, OpenDNS updater etc). If they are OK I might be leaning towards actually moving towards WHS.
I have 6 x 2TB drives installed. I notice that every time WHS formats a drive it leaves 19mb free at the end. That's annoying but not a show stopper.
I would like to format the C: drive only then install WHS clean, leaving all of the other drives intact. Will that work? I dont have about 9TB free anywhere else to back up all that stuff, so a "suck it and see" approach might be rather disastrous.
I've also been looking around for some "lights-out" type software (Not manageengine central - it doesn't work, and has some major design flaws). Something that would download updates, and let me review them before approving them to be pushed out to the clients. I've been seaching to see if WHS supports that natively, but I guess either I can't find anything or it's not a feature of WHS...
my biggest problem isn't that I don't know how to do it. The problem is that, I've only seen it don on a ps2 SLIM, I always enjoyed the original ps2 so I never upgraded.

Basically I don't just want viera connect, I want the full PC access like you get when directly plugged in.
