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.

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 "share bear", 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
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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedInstalling 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.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI 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.

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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAt work, I had a Windows XP PC with a static IP address, which was acting as a server, with 7 client PCs connected to it (also each with static IPs).
The server PC died, and the replacement is a Win7 machine, which I am in the process of setting up. I recently learned that the software we use does not work on Win7, so I've installed Windows Virtual PC and XP Mode. I also find that the company who provide the software are happy for me to try this, but they do not provide support for customers installing the software on an XP Mode virtual drive on a Win7 machine, so I've been pretty much left on my own to complete a test install.
I'm almost there with getting all the software installed and stuff, but I have a question with regard to the IP addresses. At present the Win7 machine has the same IP that the old server PC had, and the XP Mode virtual drive has a DHCP "obtain automatically" IP address, but with the DNS server set to the IP address of the router. This works in terms of both the Win7 PC and the XP Mode having network (internet) access.
However, is this correct for when I start up the software and re-connect the client PCs? I have a feeling that as the XP Mode virtual drive is acting as the server, it should be this that has the server IP address, not the the Win7 PC itself. But if so, then what should I set the IP address of the Win7 machine as? DHCP? Another address in the IP range?
I initially tried giving the XP Mode a (different) static IP, but it failed to connect to the internet. I believe I need to do something with "IP bridging" to get this to work?
atm i dual boot XP and windows 7 Ultimate (full retail, not OEM). i want to remove 7 from my machine so i can install it on a new machine. have read various posts how to do that, but the posts are all old and a bit of messing about involved. i dont want to mess up so what i wondered was if i used windows 7 manager to change 1st boot option to XP, then formatted the partition (same hdd as XP) that has 7 on it, would that save all the messing about trying to repair boot failures in XP and the boot option screen, making XP boot correctly? i could then format the old partition where 7 was afterwards.
