Connecting 1 Windows 7 Machine And 1 Windows Xp Machine
Feb 6, 2011
ive got 2 computers hooked up to a router by Ethernet sharing an internet connection, the internet connection works fine for both computers. i would like to share documents also between the computers
-one is a windows xp 32
-one is a windows 7 64
ive set up many networks in the past with a bunch of xp machines without any trouble but now i am having trouble my first step was on the windows 7 machine, i went to control panel -> network and sharing center -> setup a connection or network -> set up a new network this is where i believe i am making a mistake of some kind, it seems that the windows 7 machine is assuming that i want to set up the network wirelessly, when it is connected to the router via Ethernet. it simply brings me to a screen that says choose the wireless router or access point you want to configure, and hangs there with a greyed out next button everything seems to be going fine on the xp machine, i created a new network called "sharebear", told it that the computer connects through a residential gateway, enabled file and printer sharing, rebooted the machine, and confirmed that there was a new folder in the network places for shared documents.i went back to the windows 7 machine where it was still hanging, rebooted it, looked for the new network in network and sharing center and it wasn't there, i tried again to "set up a new network" on the windows 7 machine with the same hanging screen.

I've got a Win 7 64 laptop less than a month old that spontaneously stopped connecting to the internet but says it's connecting to network devices just fine. I first noticed when I attempted to connect to my Verizon hot spot, then I connected to a restaurant's wifi. In both cases it said I had a connection but wasn't connected to the internet. I'm now on my home network trying to resolve and have the same problem. I've uninstalled, rebooted, then reinstalled the driver for the network card. I attempted to install a newer device driver from the manufacturer but it tells me there's no device connected even though I can see it in the device manager and can both uninstall and reinstall it.
When I run ipconfig (and when I look at my router) I can see I'm getting an IP address but again, I can't get on the internet. I've released and renewed the IP address. The device is set to automatically obtain an IP address and DNS servers. I've cleared my DNS cache. I've tried to reinstall TCP/IP v4. I can't ping either a URL or an IP address.
What haven't I thought of? I'm relatively new to Windows 7 so am unfamiliar with it's quirks.
The only printer in my network is on a computer running XP, and my 7 laptop needs to connect to it. How do I do this? I already used my XP computer to set up a workgroup, but I can't figure out how to connect to it on 7.
i have Lan, all computers are windows 7 proffisional and one machine is windows 2003 , workgroup . i made shared folder in windows2003 , some computers can access the shared folder and others can not.when i open network , i see the 2003 computer, when i try to access it , it asked for user name and password. the user is administrator for all , when i enter the user and password from many computers in the lan it is work correctly but in one machine with the same settings its says , you have no permession to access this computer.
I have de-commissioned an older machine that I had installed W7 on, I wish to install the W7 from this machine to another, is this possible -if so how?I think I have read somewhere, that once W7 is installed on a machine - it can NEVER be used on any other machine, is this correct?
So i've recently taken over the role of network administrator at my office. I refreshed a few desktops lastnight with Windows 7, but to the life of me.. could not get them to connect to the domain controller, which runs on server 2003. Kept receiving errors pertaining to the DNS, could not reach DNS I believe.
-De-selected the IPv6 config
-Set the DNS to the new add, to that of the domain controller(although I left the IP dynamic, should this be a static IP)?
-The new machines are all dynamic in IP and DNS, but so were the old ones. Should I set a static to these new machines to add to the domain?
So ive set up incoming connections to my Windows 7 ultimate personal computer. I've configured the 1723 port on my router as well so connections can be allowed.
I've added a user and password for the vmware machine to connect its running Windows 7 x86 home premium.
When im trying to connect to my personal computer from the virtual machine ill get the errors listed in the title depending on the network selected for the vmware machine being NAT/Bridged ect , as Ive played around with them to see if it will work.
I replaced an XP machine with a Win7 machine. When I VPN into our 10 network I can't get to any 192.168 addresses. The XP machine works fine only the Win7 doesn't. I looked at a lot of settings but I can't find anything out of sorts.
I have a small network of six computers. Five of them run XP and I just added a Windows 7 machine. I've got a Microsoft Access 2003 database that all of the computers share that is hosted on one of the XP machines. The Windows 7 machine can access the Access database through the network just fine, as long as no one else is accessing it. However, if someone else on an XP machine on the network is using the file, it won't open on the Windows 7 machine. Doubling clicking the file on Windows 7 gives me the circling blue icon for a second or two, then nothing happens. If the XP user exits the database, then I can open it fine. Permissions on the XP that is hosting the database is set to allow everyone. And all the XP machines can access it at the same time.
I have Windows Seven 7600 and i'm trying to share files with a XP SP2 machine!
Problems:
-XP machine can see Seven machine but can't access shared folders!
-Seven machine can see XP machine but when i'm trying to see shared folders it gives me an error(see on screenshot)
-Network map doesn't work(see screenshot)
-Both machines have same workgroup MSHOME but when i go to homegroup it says there is no people in the homegroup!(see on screenshots)
Other info:
Before i couldn't turn network discovery on,every time i was set it to on he was going to off so I searched on this forum(great forum) and finally i was able to turn it on,maybe others have this problem so there what i did:i go to start=>run=>services.msc and i turned on(also i switched them to automatic startup) these services DNS Client, Function Discovery Resource Publication, SSDP Discovery, and UPnP Device Host services.
well i'm try to copy files from my xp machine to my win 7 machine i can see the xp machine but i get a message that says "make sure that the xp machine allow incoming connections for file sharing" and i have done just that i think but its a no go i've just about everything.
Installing W7 using an old HDD on an old machine to install W7 on a new SSD to be used on a new machine.I'm currently using this old machine from '09 and its performance levels have died down a lot. I bought all the components to build a new machine except I didn't want to spend extra money on another HDD to install the OS on my new 180GB Intel SSD. So basically, I want to use the HDD from my old computer, install W7 onto the SSD, then transfer the drive to my new computer, and use it on the machine and just reinstall all my other files.
I have a small three PC home network. Two PC are running Windows 7 and one running Vista.
All three machines have the same homegroup settings. The ability to view machines on the network is very patchy. One machine can see the others, while another machine can only see one other machine. Sometimes machines cannot see any others on the network.
All machines are connected wirelessly with strong signals through a BT 2700HGV Business Hub router. All of the machines can access the Internet without problems.
All machines run Eset Smart Security with the Windows firewall is turned off.
Any advice to create a stable network would be appreciated.
I connect to a remote machine C from Machine B which is connected from Machine A, How can I send ctrl+alt+end to remote machine C ? I cannot access m/c C from m/c A, I need to go through B to access C.
m/c A --> Remote destktop to m/c B --> remote desktop con m/c C.
I am using MS Virtual PC v6.1.7600.16393.I had created a virtual machine on my system, which has been deleted now, but I have .vhd file created for that virtual machine.Now I am trying to create a new virtual machine by using the previous .vhd file.Unfortunately, when I start this newly created virtual machine, it asks to Insert Boot Media in selected Boot Device.I want to retrive few of my data stored in previously created virtual machine.
My LAN consists of a gateway/router and 4 PCs A, B, C and D. A thru C are Windows 7/64; D is XP32/SP3.
Until a few days ago, everyone saw and could access everyone. Then C stopped seeing D. C can ping D, but it cant see it (in Network or in the network map).
C can still see itself and also A and B.
A, B and D can still see everyone.
Ive tried all the usual fixes from this and other forums: verified that all have same Workgroup name (no Homegroup); checked the IPs and other adapter settings; checked sharing settings; disabled Cs firewall; rebooted everything and everybody. Also tried to use the LLTD hotfix, but Windows reported that my XP-SP3 install already has it.
Have had a string of problems pop up over the course of the week. First thing that happened was that I had an error window pop up stating that there was a hiccup with a hard drive (don't have the details of error). Desktop rebooted and system started up fine but then noticed that most desktop icons were missing and program listings were missing from STARTUP.Friday night got a malware for WIN 7 Antivirus Software.I used Spybot to clean the system. Back to normal now but Sat morning while looking at video on MSN screen went black and system rebooted. Next came grey window stating that system files could not be found to start up.
Tried restoring last good setting but still not bootable. Noticed in windows error report that Win 7 was on (F:). Got into DOS mode and discovered my drive C: is now drive F: all other HDs are correct. Current C: is blank no file or directories.
I'm trying to load windows XP to enable a dual boot on an e-machines PC with Windows 7 home premium already installed. I've followed the instructions in a previous tutorial on the subject, but here's what happens.I installed a second HD on the PC successfully. The pc reads the HD and has assigned it a drive letter. I also purchased a Windows XP Home OEM license CD.When I try to boot from the XP CD, it starts loading drivers and other files, and then I get a blue screen saying installation halted due to possible damage to the computer.
I purchased a computer that has windows 7 home premium installed. I also have a critical app that can only run on XP and the manuf. tells me that the app runs into problems when running on Windows 7's XP emulation. I installed a second HD in the PC, and it recognized and gave it a drive letter. Formatted it to make sure it was clean. (It was previously installed in a Dell with XP.also bought an XP SP3 OEM license CD, and followed the instructions in the tutorial on the subject. When trying to boot off the XP CD, I got a Blue Screen indicating that the installation was halted, damage to the machine, blah blah.
I will install a Windows to be used in my MacBook Air. I found a Windows 7 OEM at Amazon but I am not sure whether I can use it for installation with Boot Camp or with Parallels. Should I buy a full (and more expensive) version of Windows 7 instead?
I did the same as this fellow. I have a fresh HD, mad a partition on it, booted from the 64bit CD. It let me go through the entire process when it came time for the ssystem to reboot I received and error message "cant run the 64 bit windows 7 on a 32 bit system". I can not get passed it each time I boot I get the same thing
I have a wireless laptop. Had windows7 installed when I got it, well it crashed and I cant get it to load up to windows so I can at least try to fix it
I have programs on an old XP PC and would like to transfer the content of that drive to a second (new and faster) drive that is available on a new Win 7 Professional PC. These programs are costly to reinstall and would rather just use the old HD with the programs on it. Is this doable?
My old computer died, Sony Vaio Running Windows XP. I had been using a 100GB sata eternal drive for backup. Bought new computer, Gateway DX4860/6gigs ram running Windows 7 Home Premium, plugged external hard drive in and nothing happened. New machine does not recognize the external hard drive.
When I RDP to the machine, it will connect to my login screen. But when I type in my userID and password, it will come up with a certificate error message. It will ask whether i want to connect anyway. When I click yes, it will return to the IP address box and will not login.
When I purchased my emachine last year it came with Vista. At the time of purchase they were offering a free upgrade to Win7. I received the upgrade disk a while back in the mail.I would rather use the win 7 upgrade on an HP machine that also has Vista. The disk I was sent 'seems' to be tied to only emachines.Is it possible to use this disk to upgrade my HP computer instead of my emachine computer?
