Identify Username To Log Onto Windows 7 From XP Across Network
Sep 16, 2012
I have just set up a new Windows 7 computer and am trying to access the HD across a home wireless network from my XP laptop. XP can see the Windows 7 but it is asking for USER NAME and PASSWORD. I put in, what i think is, my user name on the Windows 7 in the dialog box and then put in the password that I use to log into the Windows 7 when I boot it up but it rejects these. I went to look on the Windows 7 for user name and password and can't seem to find it in PROPERTIES of COMUPTER.

I've recently have a Sony Vaio laptop that will not get an IP addess and cannot identify networks. Both wired and wireless stay at identifying network, no internet access. At this point i've uninstalled Bonjour, reset my winsock catalog, checked the LSP, checked proxy setting - none, tried static information with no luck, uninstalled devices and reinstalled, deleted device drivers and reinstalled with new drivers, ran tweaking to reregister files, remove policies set by infections and so forth. I've scanned the PC with Combofix, Emsisoft Emergency Kit, TDSSkiller, and Malwarebytes and have found nothing. I've also removed the drive and scanned it externally. I'm almost down to a backup and reload. I've also remove IPv4 and IPv6 and reinstalled.

My dads laptop worked fine with the WIFI for about 1,5 year, and now yesterday his computer won't identify our router. I have tried reinstalling the driver to his wireless hardware and that didnt work. I have tried with a static IP, but i wasn't sure if i did that correctly, so i can't safely say that what i did with the static IP would work either way.

My computer has and onboard PCIe network card and another PCI network card. I have connected my cable modem to the PCI network card using ethernet cable and have the internet on my computer working fine. This computer then connects to the other computers in my network using a hub, but it keeps putting this connection as a public network and wont share the internet to the rest of my machines even though I have the computers on the same workgroup and sharing enabled. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.

Just today I decided to download the Windows 8 consumer preview and setup my PC to dual boot with it.I am running Windows 7 home premium 64bit and the 64 bit windows 8 on my other partition. After setting up a separate partition on my hard drive and loading windows8 to this partition, I was all up and running. I had no problems setting up or running windows 8, the problem came when I booted back to windows 7 for the first time. When I booted into windows 7, I was getting the "unable to identify network" error, and no network connectivity.
First thing I tried was simply disable/enabling my network adapter thinking it was just some hiccup. No luck there. Next I pulled the power from my router, and let it completely reboot. Still no luck. I then shut down my pc and booted back into windows 8 and sure enough I am able to get internet connectivity when I am running windows 8. This got me to thinking that when I loaded windows 8 there may be some new drivers installed for my network card that are somehow causing issues when I load into windows 7 again. Not sure how this is possible.
I was under the understanding that when I loaded Win8 to the separate partition that it would keep all it's drivers and settings there and not effect anything when I was loaded back on windows 7 (This logic could be completely wrong, I don't know). So I rebooted and loaded back into windows 7, went into device manager and uninstalled both network adapters and drivers, and rebooted into windows 7 again so it could re-discover and setup the network cards with default windows 7 drivers. This did not work either and I am still getting the same error.

Last 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 have four computer networked all using Win 7 Pro or Ultimate. I set up the network as prompted and set th user name and password. All computers are new to newer Dell running 64bit. Went to setup my HP Media Smart 6TB Server and everything just fine. After all setup everything worked off-line until I wanted to access the server. A Windows Security window opens requesting Network Password and User Name to connect to the HP Server. Well nothing I input does any good ALL my entries are rejected.
This is a total f.. k up as I know what I used for the main network and what I used for the HP Server but neither work. I have tried about everything I can think of and am still locked out. All else fails complete rest and reboot but just wondering if same problem someone else might have seen for answer.

I have installed Windows 7 ultimate and have a server with Win server 2003 installed on it.
On my main pc (with Windows 7) I have two user-accounts, both administrator rights. Both users have access-rights to the server. User one (myself) can access the server without any problems. However, user two (my girlfriend) cannot get access!
When making a network-connection, it asks for username/pw. If I fill this in, I immediately get a new username/pw screen, however this time it gives me COMPUTERNAME/User to fill in.
Obviously, my server does not recognize COMPUTERNAME/User, so my girlfriend cannot get acces to the server. The strange thing is that if she use the option to use a different user, and fill-in MY username/pw, it works ok (only till she reboots the pc and logs-in again...).
If have seen advise like "look for the entry "Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level" and open it. Click on the dropdown menu and select "Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated". I tried all of that, but nothing seems to work
I had no problems what so-ever when using XP on my main PC, so their is definately nothing wrong with the settings on the server (admin rights etc.).
For some reason, I once managed to get access to the server under my girlsfriends account, but the next time she logged-in, noaccess was made and never ever since then.
I already setup a third user on my server with all right, made that user active under Windows 7, but I faced the same isssues as my girlfiends account. only the account of myself seems to work?

This problem has been driving me up the wall, so I hope you fine folks can help me out with it .
I have a network storage device with several network folders and each of them are passworded for added security (in case someone manages to connect to my wifi). When I try and access them in any application or Windows Explorer, I am often (but not always) prompted to re-enter the username and password. This happens even though I tick the box to remember these details.
This is on an almost new install and I am completely stuck. Any thoughts?

I have a Battery Back Up made by APC which came with software and I installed the software. Needless to say this software controls the functions of the back up,ie: How long to leave the computer on in case of power failure so that Windows may be shut down without loss of data. Somewhere, I think I read that it is not necessary to install software for battery back ups because Win 7 already has support for this. If this is true then where where can the configuration be made for the back up?

Because it would be great to link to when helping those that do not know what their computer is, or by what we mean by "what is your computer/GPU/HD/eta?"
I'll make one if there isn't one, but I will need example pictures (preferably with any S/N's already removed)..

identify drivers etc - especially if you bought a computer with pre-installed stuff on it but you want to upgrade the OS to full retail or another version then I suggest - BEFORE installing the new OS try one of these FREE programs -- - they are STAND alone -- they don't require logging in to Driver max.

I have been taking apart computers for parts and am learning some things about computers.I understand a fair bit about computers.I was just wondering how I can identify my graphics card as in Device Manager, it displays "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter".I am sure it displayed something different before I upgraded to Windows 7. I think I may be missing a driver.
Either way, I used to have Windows XP and the game I wish to play worked then, now I have upgraded, it no longer works. This could be because the driver for the graphics card was erased. I am using whatever card comes with this computer, as I have left it unaffected since the purchase of the computer, and all I have altered is the disc drive and hard drive.Ever since I upgraded to Windows 7, the game won't start and it gives me a graphics error "We are sorry, but the operating system failed to provide the window to render the game graphics in. Please consult the game manual for known workarounds that might improve the game's compatibility with your hardware.". This is for the game "18 Wheels of Steel: American Long Haul". I have checked and this game is compatible with Windows 7.

I have brought graphics card from friends old computer[DESKTOP]. He lost the driver cd and cannot remember its series or manufacturer. There is a sticker on it which says: GF 9400gt 512 mb. I installed the card win 7 booted up. It detects the card as standard vga graphics adapter, device manager says device is working properly gives me 1024x780 resolution. So I tried 9 series gf driver from nvidia. It says no compatible hardware detected. NVidia auto scan same result. How can I know which card actually i am using? If it is gf 9400gt 512 mb then what is the problem with driver. In device manager hardware id is like this:
pciven_10de&dev_01dc&subsys_00000000&rev_a1
pciven_10de&dev_01dc&subsys_00000000
pciven_10de&dev_01dc&rev_a1
pciven_10de&dev_01dc
pciven_10de&dev_01dc&cc_030000
pciven_10de&dev_01dc&cc_0300

I have a laptop with a company that uses a domain server.There are no local accounts on the company laptops, but you can still log in using previous credentiails.My problem:When I log in without the domain present (Example: Network cable unplugged) to get on the company wireless or VPN from home, the %USERNAME% variable is set to upper case.This wouldn't be a huge issue, except that some programs/scripts rely on the username variable being lowercase.My question: Is there a way to force the username lowercase, when logging in to a system without the domain present?

I've got a folder shared to specific user on my Windows 7 laptop.When i try to access that folder over lan, from my Vista laptop, it doesn't ask me for user&pass, but just gives "Access denied" error message.If it's set as shared to everyone, then i can access it just fine. But i want it to be accessible only after password protection over lan. Both laptops are set to "WORKGROUP" and here are the network settings for the windows 7 one
Network Discovery: ON
File and printer sharing: ON
Public Folder Sharing: OFF
File sharing connections: Enable 40 and 56 bit encryption as well
Password protection sharing: ON
HomeGroup connections: Use user accounts and passwrods to connect to other computers

We moved our offices from one location to another over the weekend. New ISP but everything else is the same.Have a peer-to-peer network with one pc (Windows 7 Professional) acting as the file server. Everyone now has access to internet and we can all "see" each other.For some reason now when we want to connect to Public Folders on our "file server" it is asking for login credentials such as username and password. I have it set to not require a password since we have a mixed environment.It has always worked in the past and I am not sure why it would be requiring that now. I had read somewhere to try and setup an admin username and password that was the same for both computers. I tried that and it was still unsuccessful (Although I still have it set to not require a password).
