I have recently installed a network printer and had many problems. I've changed the IP address 3 times to resolve and still cannot. When I do a continuous ping to the printer (approximately 100, I had 4 request time outs). The 4/5 clients using the printer are having problems printing to it.
View 9 RepliesI have installed windows XP mode for windows 7 and it works fine. I have even installed few apps that were not possible to be installed on win 7. I played with win 7 virtual PC and have few questions:
1. I see that system chosen 120 GB for this virtual Win XP, I was not asked about this and wonder if this could be changed. The originally C: system partition in win 7 is 300 GB.
2. When I use cmd command in run and type ipconfig, I see that correct IP address is displayed (192.168.1.65) since it works in private network and internet is working OK. But when I try to ping router (192.168.1.1) I get message that "request timed out" occurred. Of course, ping works in windows 7, and I have internet access in both win7 and virtual win xp.
I have a PC desktop Windows 7 ultimate 64bit and Dell Vostro 3500 Windows 7 professional 64bit. Both connected through D-Link 655 router and they are in same WORKGROUP with files and printer sharing enable. As security the PC has Malwarebytes Anti-Malwares, Comodo firewall, Avira free antivirus. The Vostro has Zonealarm firewall and Avast for anti-virus.Recently I bought a NAS (Synology DS211J) in order to centralize important documents, media files and the printer. My desktop Windows 7 ultimate has no problem connecting to the NAS. I can ping the NAS ip and name. I can see the NAS listed in network from windows explorer connect to it and browse the NAS directories...yes flawless! However the Dell 3500 could ping the NAS ip and name but I do not see the NAS in the laptop Network of Windows Explorer therefore I could not access the NAS and browse the directories. Both PC and Vostro could ping each other ip and name, both are listed in their respective Network of Windows Explorer and I could access to each other shared folders. For debugging I turned all securities softwares down on both PC . Problem still persist i.e. Vostro can ping NAS but do not see it in network. I have another laptop winXP Home edition 32bit and I could ping both PC and the NAS by their ip and names. I could access from that laptop the shared folders of the PC Windows 7 ultimate and NAS but not the Vostro. Vostro can ping ip and name of laptop winXP but not listed on his network places.
why the Vostro 3500 can ping the other machines by ip and name but it does not listed them in the network windows? Is it because of a Windows service not enable, a setting or something in the registry?
I have three virtual OS (windows 2003)installed on my server (window 2008), I can ping it from within the network but I cannot reach it from outside the network. However, I can reach the host and any other physical pc from outside the network.
I also installed VMware 5.0 on my laptop running window 7. Windows XP is on the VW. it can ping the host but the host cannot ping it. I have set it to bridge but it is still not the host cannot still ping the OS on the VM.
I have windows 7 professional 64 bit on a desktop and 32bit on a laptop.
Both can access the internet and ping the router.
I have turned on network discovery and set both networks to home with no homegroup and both using 40/56 bit encryption.
I can't ping or find the other computer over a wireless network
Any ideas?
There's a program I use (Pocket Informant iPhone Outlook Sync) which requires that my PC and iPhone be on the same network in order to sync.
The problem is that it works only when using my home network. When I'm at home, from my PC I am able to successfully ping my iPhone, which is connected to my WiFi network. This works whether myh PC is also ethernet-connected or WiFi-connected.
When I travel, however, even though I successfully connect to the WiFi network on my iPhone and PC, I am unable to ping my iPhone.
I have tried disabling the Windows Firewall and I get the same result!
I can't believe that all these different WiFi networks I connect to (airport, hotel, work) that they all have a configuration issue, so I'm thinking that the reason for the discrepancy must be because of some setting/configuration on my PC/home network.
Is there anyhing else besides disabling the Windows Firewall that I can try?
why won't my hp office jet pro k8600 install with windows 7?
View 4 Replies View RelatedLast Friday my main desktop crashed (lost power to the machine) and on restarting the PC was unable to "identify" the network. By identify, I mean, when using "Network and Sharing Centre" on the basic network information page, the PC shows "Identifying" under "active networks" - no matter how long I leave the PC.
PC details
Model: Packard Bell Power x-30
Processor i7 870 @2.93GHz
RAM: 8GB
O/S: Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)
Modem Router details
Netgear N300 Wireless Dual Band ADSL2+ Modem Router
The main desktop is connected to the modem router (via Ethernet). The modem router is showing no sign of any problems itself, all the dashboard lights look ok (i.e. power is on, port 1 shows the Ethernet connection in place, both wireless bands are lit, the DSL is lit and so is the internet). The household contains a number of laptops which continue to work ok wirelessly and/or wired through Ethernet. Even mobile phones are accessing the wi-fi ok.
The DNS Server address looks ok, as that is the address of the web page to the router. I cannot access that web page (address) via the main desktop, but I can from other devices ok. Having gone through Device Manager the Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller is showing as "working properly". I have tried pinging the DNS Server address, and that fail. I have gone through a system restore to a previous point (before the day of the crash) but that seems to have made no difference either.
I have attempted to set the IP addresses (for TCP/IPv4) directly
IP address 192.168.0.3
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
And therefore forced to set the DNS Server address too
Preferred DNS server: 192.68.0.1
But I don't know what to set for the alternate DNS Server, so left blank. This seems to step me forward, in that the device/network is now identified. However the internet access is still not work, as the "DNS Server is not responding".
I don't know whether this is something that has happened to anyone before but I cant have my printer on and go on the internet at the same time. if I try to my wireless adapter freezes and when you take it out and plug it back in again it says "the device cannot start" in device manager.

View 10 Replies View RelatedIn our office we have our PC's connected to our inter-office network server via the Ethernet ports (Local Area Connection) with a hard wire to a hub, that in turn runs to our server. We also each have a wireless internet connection on our PC's via a USB wireless adapter. When we were using XP this was not a problem to have access to the server AND the internet at the same time.
When my PC died last year I bought a Dell Inspiron 560 slim tower with Windows 7 to replace my XP machine. The first problem I ran into was that I could no longer use the wireless internet connection AND the hard wired connection to our server operating at the same time. If I stayed connected to our server, I will not have a wireless connection. If I go into the "Local Area Connection" properties and "disable" the connection, I almost instantly get my wireless connection back. The big issue when doing this is if I leave our database program (ACT!) open while the server connection is disabled, I have to shut down ACT!, then restart it before I can connect it to the server. If I try to without closing and reopening it I get all kinds of errors.
So, in the mean time, I have just put a shortcut on my desktop that allows me to enable and disable the Local Area Connection when I need internet access.
A couple days ago, my boss's PC grabbed a virus that slipped past McAfee (that program is now gone!!) and really hosed up his PC. He bought the Windows 7 upgrade software and wiped the hard drive and installed Windows 7. He is now having the same issue as I am.
For what it's worth, he is using a Belkin Wireless-G USB wireless adapter, and mine is a Netgear Wireless-N USB adapter.
Is there any way we can have the two connections operate at the same time like they did in XP? It really becomes a pain sometimes when we are on the phone with a client and we need to jump back and forth between info that is online, and info that is on our server that we access through ACT!.
I have problem with my windows 7. When i try to open a directory on LAN, every now and then it begins to reload the directory. The upper bar begins to fill up with green color (in my theme of course), and it takes very long time, like 3, or 4 minutes. In the directory there is not much stuff, maybe 200 or 300 text files. And during this 3 or 4 minutes, the computer is almost blocked.
It is very slow, the browser can not connect to any site on internet, any programs that are working stalls, or becomes very slow. When the directory is loaded, things return to normal. And what is more, this problem does not occur with every directory on the LAN, only with some of them.
What can be the reason and how can I fix it?
I have an asus G72Gx laptop running windows 7 home premium. Went through the nightmare of my wireless antenna never turning back on and now I am facing a new issue.
My laptop is taking a really long time to connect to a network. And I mean a REALLY long time. Minutes. When it should be near instant.
The problem happens on both the wireless and the wired NIC. I have also tried this at multiple locations: home, airports, hotels all with the same result. Not only does it take a while for it to establish a connection to the router, but it seems to take the same amount of "extra time" for it to get internet connectivity. It will initially connect to a network and windows will give the "Limited Access" message. And then a couple minutes later I will have internet access.
This is absolutely driving me nuts. Also it seems to have the added side effect of making it difficult to connect to lobbies in the Starcraft 2 beta. It might be unrelated, but I digress.
Any Thoughts?
I have a problem with the speed of my mapped network drive. At first al is wel and file loading is as fast as to be expected. But after some time the transfer speed drops dramaticaly and it becomes very slow. I tested it primaraly with loading of image sequences, but it affects all file loading the same. If I logoff and login to windows again the speed is back to its full potential. And then after some time again it drops. I have seached the internet for similar ploblems, but could not find this kind of problem, only the dropping of the connection entirely, but thats not the case here.
All user PC's that have the network drive mapped are windows7 Pro PC's with gigabit lan. The server PC is also windows7 with quad gigabit lan, teamed to 1 connection. A 4 ssd raid setup via a MSI megaRaid controller provides the drive for mapping. The switch is a HP proCurve 1810G-24. Jumbo frames is disabled on all devices. Because i have no domain, the password protection for file sharing on the server is disabled, so al user PC's can connect to the mapped network drive with their own username.
Is there some sort of idle timer on the mapped network drive that could be responsible or something?
Im using Windows 7 build 7600.
I have a windows server 2003 file server and a windows 2003 SBS domain controler. The file server is a member server. My windows 7 client is joined to the domain. When i log on to the domain, a script runs that maps drives from the file server to my comp. My domain account has Full Control over the drives on the file server.
Since installing windows 7 each time i open an mp3 file (Which are between 10 and 20mb) from the maped network drive, its taking 8 seconds to open each one. Baring in mind i have a GB lan with both my laptop network card and server network card set to 1gbps full duplex. I have a LOT of mp3 files that i browse through, but every time i select a differnt track it takes 8 seconds for it to open, same for the next track and the one after that and its begining to drive me nuts . Ive tried using differnt media players, for example winamp, media monkey, itunes and wmp and with each one i get exactly the same 8 seconds per music file.
This does not happen with one of my xp machines both over wirelesss and hardwired in to the lan, tracks open instantly from one to the other. After messing about with it for a while i stumbled accross something. If i map directly to shares on the network drive (which is set to read only) the tracks open instantly from one to the next no problem. However, if i set the share permission to âfull controlâ, i get exactly the same problem, 8 seconds per music file.
And i REEEEEEALLY dont know why its doing it. As ive said it works fine on windows xp, i have a gb lan with both cards set to 1gb full duplex (have even tried auto negociate ) and cat5 e cabling via a D-Link GB Switch. The only thing that seems to fix it is setting the share on the file server to read only. Now i could just play the tracks via the share and be done with it but, the shares are set to read only for a good reason. I have the network drive (where the shares live) maped to my computer because im always adding to, and manipulating folders on the drive, including the mp3 files. As a work around im having to play the tracks via the actual share and modifly or delete any mp3 files via the maped network drive.

I have PC connect to router and installed the newest realtek driver for win 7 on motherboard asrock p43de. Whats the problem, how to fix it, before i it normally loaded..
yesterday i buy a wireless broadband router - 4 ports and i encounter some change, i don't know if it is a problem with the settings or it is normal.
questions:
1. My desktop computer is connected to the router through Lan. when i start the computer. my comp identifies the network for 2 mins.. it is normal? or i need to change settings or the router?
2. i cannot connect to my other PC that is also connected in Lan.
Long story short, I have shares on three PCs that are not always on. If I make a shortcut to the share and put it on my desktop, sometimes for some reason, the shortcut vanishes. I believe this is because I haven't connected the PC to the network in a while.
So, I went about and mapped those shares to drive letters. All is well, however, it adds another 45 seconds to my boot time.
Pretty sure this is because windows is trying to reconnect to them on boot, but they are disconnected. Is there any way to keep my drive mappings, but not have windows attempt to reconnect on boot?
I know that you will lose your mappings if you do not check "reconnect on login".. so, is there a way to keep the mappings without attempting to reconnect at login?
For some reason my laptop takes forever to connect to a shared drive on my desktop on my home network. I've tried connecting to it by mapping the drive and through windows explorer and same thing. Sometimes it won't even connect at all. I don't have this issue with other computers on the network. And when I say a long time I am meaning like 5 minutes or more. At first it was maybe only 1-2 minutes but it is getting worse. My mouse icon has had the spinning ring around it trying to connect the whole time I have been writing this.Both computers are Win 7 pro x64 with sp1. Desktop is wired directly to the router and laptop has excellent signal strength. Both have DHCP reservations set in the router. The way I usually connect is by starting a run box and typing \[desktop pc name][share] then it just spins

That tells me that it's downloading from somewhere and I can't tell from where exactly.. Luckily.. Uninstalling the wireless driver & reinstalling it solves the problem but it tends to come back eventually..
So what I am requesting from you fine people here @ SevenForums is for some type of Internet Bandwidth Monitor which I can use to see where my laptop is downloading from & hopefully stop it completely so that I may use my broadband speed for something more.. For me & less for what I don't want.
