Network Connection Timeout For Some Users In Windows 7
Jun 22, 2011
I have a network set up with file sharing. I use a Windows 7 PC to host files that are shared with around 8 other PCs - some on Windows 7, some on Windows XP. The file sharing works but sometimes some users are unable to get access to the files. The error message is something like \PCNAME is not accessible. The user can connect if the machine storing the files is restarted but it will happen 4-5 times during the day.

This is my situation: I have a virtual machine running, and a network drive which is mapped to that machine.The problem here is that when I am trying to login on windows, windows is first trying to connect to that mapped network drive - which it cannot because my virtual machine has to start up first. This results in a rather long login-time.So my question is, is there some (registry) setting which allows me set this connection timeout to 0? Or that it won't automatically reconnect the drive at login? Of course the setting 'Do not automatically reconnect at login' is too obvious and does not work, because it also removes the whole mapped network drive at system restart - in my situation the drive should be there, just not connected

I have a situation where I have folks logging into the domain with their respected credentials. I setup the first users with everything they needed and then realized I would need to imitate this over 4-5 other users on the same machine. Is there a way to do this more effectively rather than by hand?
I want all users to have the same network drives (I have 6 different locations) and I want them to have the same desktop icons for accessing content.

i have a desktop and a laptop:
desktop:
user: alex
password: password
laptop:
user: alex
password: password
On the laptop, i now want to share a folder with the desktop, but only for the desktop, not for the whole homegroup, nor the whole network.They are both in the same homegroup, as well as some other computers.
As the accounts are the same I added the user 'alex' in the advanced sharing-options with full control. But it ditn't work, so I googled and also added full control for the user alex in the security options. But if I want to acces the folder from the desktop, I still get "no permissions". I, resp the user alex have/has admin-rights on both machines.Did I miss something?
I noticed that in the advanced settings of both sharing and security I can always just choose the local machine as a "location"... got this something to do with my problem?

I have a Z77 mobo with a new SDD and a HDD from the old PC. At first I installed Windows 7 to the SDD and I could only boot into it when I disconnected the HDD. When I started PC, the logo was shown for a second or so, and then it went into repair mode, the "preparing installation files" progress bar ran twice and the system booted into GRUB that was left on the HDD. I've tinkered in BIOS a lot trying to fix this, but to no avail.Now I've decided to also install Linux (OpenSUSE 12.2) to the SDD, and hoped that GRUB2 would solve my problems. Nope, it didn't detect my Windows 7 at all! (however, it did detect the two(?) old Windows 7 mount points from the HDD). I couldn't even get to boot it by forcing "Windows Boot Manager" from BIOS. I tried to fix this with DVD repair, at first I couldn't get it to work by launching the DVD in UEFI mode, the other one worked, but it only messed up my GRUB2 and I couldn't boot to either system. After some unsuccesful tinkering with bootrec, I found this thread and followed what OP and the best answer guy did, which sums up roughly to this:
Code: C:> bootsect /nt60 C: /force
C:> diskpart
DISKPART> select disk 1
DISKPART> select partition 3
DISKPART> active
DISKPART> extend filesystem
DISKPART> exit
C:> bootrec /rebuildbcd
Then, Windows Repair detected my installation and said it fixed the problem. Now I still can't boot into my system normally (again, it reboots after "Windows is loading files"), however, I can get it to boot after the timeout ("Press any key to boot from DVD") from Windows 7 installation disk! I have no idea what's going on.Here is a screenshot from diskmgmt: The strange thing is the 128MB partition - I suppose this could have been MSR partition, while gparted shows it's a Linux partition! Is this possible, that OpenSUSE installer messed it up?
Also: Code: C:Windowssystem32>bcdedit /v
Windows Boot Manager

I have a Dell inspiron mini tower that had some apparently critical either net driver deleted. I'm not entirely sure which driver it was or how to get it back. I've tried downloading a few drivers on another machine and then just transferring them to the bad one but it's not working (3 separate ones now). It was working perfectly before this "thing" was accidentally uninstalled.

I connected two notebooks via a TP-Link router (Wlan 54g). The first computer is a brand new Samsung RF511 Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit with Intel I7, 8GB Ram. The second is a 5 year old HP Pavilion DV5000 device with Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit.
It dosent matter if i connect via Homegroup or direct over the network to the files. The speed of transmission between the two computers is about 3-400KB. Sometime, i get about 7-800 KB.

I have a 3 PC router based workgroup network. 2 PCs are XP SP 3, one PC is Windows 7 When all PCs are wired, everything works just fine. All PCs (W7 and XP) can see and share files with all other PCs (It took a bit of doing but I got there eventually)If I try to connect the W7 PC wirelessly,
* the W7 PC cannot access/share files on the XP machines
* the XP machines can see and share files on the W7 PC
* The W7 PC can access the router and can ping the other PCs
There is no firewall in operation on the XP machine What do I need to do to get the W7 machine to access/share files on the XP machine via wireless connection?

Just reinstalled my windows 7 home premium after having some issues and thus far everything is working swell, except for the fact that I can't seem to find any wireless connections under connections available- I can't even seem to set up wireless connections.
I know nothing is wrong inside the computer since my splash top allows me to go onto the internet wirelessly- so I'm guessing this has something to do with me just installing windows 7 home premium again.
Without the internet I can't download drivers or get windows updates-
Looked in device manager and there are three exclamations next to these drivers:
standard VGA Graphics Adapter
Network Controller
Unknown device
Can't seem to fix the exclamations since I can't get internet access (only have wireless net) Is there anything I can download and burn to get these drivers working?

My Canon MF3240 laser printer is causing a timeout delay in Windows 7, when completing the loading of the desktop when booting (cold or warm). Long Explanation: When starting the computer, Windows will load normally to the desktop with near complete functionality. But there is a delay of 60 seconds while something tries to initialize or load. During this delay the blue spinning circle ("Working") can be seen over the Network icon in the systray, and over the Currency & Weather gadgets, and in Windows Explorer at the major headings.While the "Working" icon is showing I can open the browser and I have internet access. But I can't open task manager or use Windows Explorer until "Working" is done. The condition was first noticed after I uninstalled my old Canon MP780 printer and replaced it with an Epson Artisan 810. The Canon MF3240 was already installed before this change. I always suspected the Epson printer had corrupted something. This weekend I finally got around to removing all the printers, cleaning up, and reinstalling the printers. I reinstalled the Epson first (using correct W7x64 drivers) and all was good. Windows boots right up onto the desktop and everything is connected - no delays. Then I reinstalled the MF3240. Bang - right off - the delay condition.Now, if I unplug the USB cable for the MF3240 and boot (cold or warm) the delay goes away. What do you think is going on here? More Info: The original installation of the MF3240 was done when I first installed Windows 7. I was new to Windows 7 and there was some thrashing about to get the printer set up, I recall. I finally got it working by manually installing the drivers. These were XP-2000 drivers, best I can tell.
The driver I just installed for the MF3240 is MF3200_MFDrivers_Win_x64_us_EN_7 . I got these drivers from the Canon website for my printer, but I can't remember exactly when, but it was a while ago. I never installed these drivers before. Today, on that website, the only Windows 7 driver available is MF3200_MFDrivers_Win_x32_us_EN_7.exe ". Actually, that is the only driver for all Windows OS's. Also, the downloads above do not contain an installer package, only the .inf's and .cab's. If I knew then what I know now, I would plug in the printer, Windows would not find a driver, I will browse to the folder with the drivers, and the x64 drivers are installed. On the reinstall Windows found drivers and installed them automatically when I plugged the printer in. I had to go to the printer's properties and update the drivers to the x64 version. However, the delay condition happens in either version of the driver that I had installed.

I am experiencing issues with explorer.exe (I found many reports on the web on this), not showing drives or control panel icons, or stop responding (win 7 32 bit Ult.) I set to open a separate process to explore windows and I got the chance to look for a better file manager and got Directory Opus and set it as the default file manager. (I use a Dell Precision notebook with certified hardware).
The explorer is still used for some windows, mainly control panel and device and printers. If the process stands there for a while, at some time, it will start to create issues. With a new 2nd explorer.exe is quite sure it will work. Checking the task manager I see that the 2nd explorer.exe waits for about 45 s to exit after the last windows close. The overall impact is quite reduced as I do not use explorer to browse files, but I would know if there is a place where I could set a shorter delay to close explorer.exe after the latest window closes.

i performed multiple googles. but for the life of me i can not find the regedit for the value that controls the timeout for programs that "appear" to be unresponsive. the exact problem.is that when a game is loading a map or something that like midway the games window title bar displays the Not Responding. and if you click it dulls out and window and brings up that prompt to end the program or wait for it to respond.
i know there is a regkey for a value somewhere that tells w/e windows uses to classify a program as not responsive in milliseconds. or some odd measure of time.
i just need the regkey for the timeout value. god i hope someone knows what i am talking about.

A week ago I put together a new computer and installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit, every thingy installed just fine even the Ethernet drivers that came with the Motherboard disk installed ok, but I get 'Unidentified Network' for my network and only local connection. I have reinstalled the drivers many times. I am on another computer hooked up to the same router and modem, but it is running Vista instead, but the internet works just fine, and it is using the same cable as my other computer so it can't be the cable.
My computer Specs:
AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition Thuban 3.2GHz
MSI NF750-G55 AM3 NVIDIA nForce 750a SLI HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard

I have been having this trouble for awhile now where after Windows 7 loads, I do not immediately connect to the internet through a fixed hardwired connection. It is delayed by about 2-3 minutes. I have changed cables many times, refreshed my IP Config, released it, etc. Nothing has yet to seem to work.

My network cards drop the connection and are listed as "unplugged" every time I game online, regardless of the game. I have 2 internal Realtek PCI GBE family controllers on an ABIT IP35Pro mobo. There is no set instance of why/when this happens only that it is completely random and I get the usual Event ID's in the system log after it happens:
The TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper service was successfully sent a stop control.
The reason specified was: 0x40030011 [Operating System: Network Connectivity (Planned)]
The Computer Browser service was successfully sent a stop control.
The reason specified was: 0x40030011 [Operating System: Network Connectivity (Planned)]
There are no other events, Application or Security that happen right before these events other than MS Application experience service entered the stopped state in system log. It could happen every few hours during the day to every 5-10 minutes after midnight( this is what is very weird since it did not do this prior to midnight this many times ). I sit behind a uverse router with it passing through a gateway from 2 powerline adapters. I have no problems downloading torrents, watching movies or anything l else strenuous on the network, but gaming. The only fix I have found is to disable the card and re-enable every time.
I have tried the fixes below with no luck.
1) Disabled Computer Browser service
2) Disabled TCP/Ip Netbios Service
3) Updated Realtek drivers
4) Rolled back Realtek drivers
5) Changed IP address
6) Reset TCP/IP Stack
7) Completely blew out Windows 7 Home and installed a fresh Windows 7 Ultimate I had
8) Disabled windows 7 from shutting these cards off
9) changed power management to never sleep the system

Ok, I'm going to give a small amount of back story here as it may be relevant to the current problem. Yesterday I formatted my Win XP PC and tried to install Windows 7 on it. 3/4 of the way through the installation my PC would restart, and upon loading back into windows I would receive this error message:�The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. Windows installation cannot proceed. To install Windows, click to restart the computer, and then restart the installatioThere were a number of possible fixes to this problem detailed hereI eventually got the installation to complete properly by removing my Sound Card and my Network Card.Ok, now onto the current problem. As stated, I have a new, clean install of Windows 7 32 which seems unable to connect to our BT Home Hub router. I have an ethernet connection to the router (lights: check, and cables are secure etc) and also a Wireless Network Card which may or may not be in a functioning state. By which I mean, I have had problems with it in the past but I can't remember exactly what is wrong with it. However, as I did with my XP install I want to connect via the ethernet cable.
In the Network and Sharing Center there are no networks listed.I have attempted to update the drivers for my MB and the Network Card, neither of which seemed to do anything.If I try to ping google or anywhere else it fails.This could end up being a very simple issue, but I'm completely new to Windows 7 (and skipped Vista) so I don't really no where to go from here, and am kind of burned out after spending 8 hours yesterday just installing windows.My PC specs:Custom BuiltOS: Windows 732bitMOBO: ASUS M2N4-SLICPU: AMD Dual Core 3 GHzGfx Card: GeForce GTS 250Network Card: Realtek 8185

My father replaced his Windows 98 machine with a new computer running Windows 7.He's currently on 32-bit ultimate, but we could change versions if needed.He's really hoping there's some way to force Windows 7 into a single user mode, primarily so C:usersAll Users, Default User, Public, and his own user are merged into one. It's absolutely driving him nuts the way it is.

I am going to be getting 2 new WD10EALS drives in the next day or so. My plan was to put them in raid using the onboard ICH10R controller on my mobo (an ASUS Sabertooth X58). I had wanted to run WDTLER to turn TLER on, but after reading some reviews it seems I might not be able to as it is reported WD disabled TLER on these drives completely.
Im curious if there is a way to change the timeout for the drives in the matrix storage controller? So if I do have an issue my raid won't die (I'll be using these drives in raid 0 for gaming only). I dont care about the data, I just don't want to have to go thru the hassle of reinstalling the games should a drive get dropped from the array. I am thinking about getting a wd green 2tb drive for backups but just curious if there is a way to change timeout via the controller.
edit: And by change timeout I mean how long the controller waits for the disk before dropping it from the array, like could i set it too 2.5 mins just to be sure?
