Network / Sharing :: How To Share Stuff OTHER THAN Local C Drive On Homegroup

Jun 27, 2014

I'm setting up for the first time a Homegroup (on Windows 8.1) between laptop and desktop. So far, Im impressed with the speed of transmission from one computer to the other. However, I noticed that I can only access the C: drive as well as the Library stuff such as Music, Pictures, Desktop, Downloads, etc folders. I would like to be able to access from my laptop the OTHER DRIVES on my desktop PC. What's the best way to do this?

Network / Sharing :: How To Share Drive Over Network To Non Local Users

Dec 3, 2013

I am trying to find a solution to transferring large files (100+GB) between myself and a client of mine at a different location through the internet. The easiest one I have found was through a Private Network through Logmein's Hamachi, as you can browse other connected computers' files through this network.

Of course, to show the shared drives by the host computer, you need to input a username and password through the UAC. Obviously, if I insert my own username and password, I can see the folders I've shared. However, how do I configure a username/password for my client? Are these users the same as local users? I would like to avoid having to make a local user for him on my own computer.

Just for reference, I have no control over my network I am connected to, so no FTP, no port forwarding etc.

OS: Windows 8.1

Network / Sharing :: Share To Homegroup Does Not Keep Edit Permissions

Dec 4, 2012

I have two windows 8 computers in the same homegroup.

When I share a folder to the homegroup and give it View/Edit permissions, it changes to View only after a computer restart.

Edit:One more thing, I think it might have something to do with the fact the folders are on a drive defined as a storage space in the storage pool.

Network / Sharing :: Copy From / To Network Share - Why Local Traffic

Aug 3, 2013

when extracting an archive to the same network location on which the archive itself resides, why is it that I'm having local bandwidth usage?

As you can see, there is simultaneous ~150Mbit/s upstream/downstream on my local ethernet adapter. WHY? As far as I am concerned there should be no meaningful traffic since it's actually a copy process on the local hard disk of my server.

Jun 8, 2014

I have two computers on a large desk side by side. Both are running Windows 8.1

I have a drive on computer A which I want to be able to access on computer B.

I have gone into advanced sharing for the drive and enabled sharing. However, when I go to map the drive on computer B, I get an error that I don't have permission to access that drive.

What am i missing here? Neither computers are using logins/passwords for the admin user account.

Network / Sharing :: Cannot Create A Homegroup

Feb 20, 2013

well i created a homegroup for my 4 pc's, but with the last one i get the message that the Revo user changed the password.

A user wanting to join the homegroup cannot change the password......normally.

To restart from scratch, i led everyone leaving the homegroup at least i did that since all 4 hardly are used at one time.

Now the only thing i can do is to join a homegroup, while there is no homegroup....

So i type in a password and get the message "there is no homegroup".

when troubleshooting, i get the message that i did not join a homegroup, thus am no member.

Network / Sharing :: Can't Connect To Homegroup

Mar 12, 2014

I just purchased a new laptop with windows 8.1. I previously had two laptops and a desktop all running windows 7 and all connected to my network wirelessly. I had a homegroup set up on the desktop that works fine for all windows 7 machines, but I cannot get the new 8.1 machine to connect to it. The new machine sees that the homegroup is there but after I put in the password it says it no longer can find the homegroup.

I tried to run the homegroup troubleshooter and got a vague response about network problems, but no problems were detected by the network troubleshooter. I've also tried creating a local user instead of logging in with a Microsoft account but got the same message when I tried to connect.

Network / Sharing :: Unable To Share Drives Across Home Network

Mar 3, 2014

I have 2 machines connected via my router/hub (wired). One is running Windows 8.1 and the other Windows 7. Previously I had them sharing perfectly until I did a reinstall of Windows 8 (upgraded to Windows 8.1). I get this message on both machines whilst trying to access shared drives (permissions enabled to read, write, modify for all users):

I have a local account on the windows 8.1 as per previous installation. I have checked all the usual sharing settings and they are the same as in the previous working installation on both machines. I have left the homegroup and created a new one on the windows 8 machine and rejoined on the windows 7 machine all to no avail.

Network / Sharing :: Can't Create Homegroup On Computer

Apr 2, 2013

I have two Windows 8 computers. On one of them (which says "private network"), I easily created a homegroup. On the other (which also says "private network"), I am unable to join the homegroup. Whenever I connect to the network, it searches and says "There is no homegroup on this network" and displays "Create Homegroup" in the Network and Sharing Center. However, when I attempt to create the homegroup, it says "Can't create a homegroup on this computer". If I leave the homegroup on the working computer, it still says "Create Homegroup" in the Network and Sharing Center and I am still unable to create the homegroup. Microsoft has worked on this for five hours and is unable to find a solution.

Network / Sharing :: Win 8.1 Pro - Share For Everyone Still Asks For Network Password?

Sep 15, 2014

I just bought a new Intel NUC which i installed a clean and fully updated Windows 8.1 Pro on. I want to create a networkshare on this machine, which everyone can just access (read permissions) to view the content of a folder or drive.

I am trying to access the drive on another (my own) installed Windows 8.1 Pro (also fully updated). Every time i try to access the machine through the Network explorer in Windows i will be prompted to enter credentials.

I have checked the network settings following this article (amongst others): Network Location - Set to Private or Public in Windows 8 on both machines.

I also checked all the sharing settings on both machines (private/home network, allow external connections, allow all types of connections, allow sharing without password etc. etc.).

I am a bit dazzled as to why the machine keeps asking me to enter credentials. This is standard protocol nowadays? (I wonder how that would work on a machine that has a local user without a password).

Network / Sharing :: How To Share A Video

Oct 22, 2013

I took a 10:42 minute video with my camera. It's 1.28 GB and the file type MTS. The issue is I need to email it and it's too big of a file to send whole. I'm not in favor of chopping it up, but will if this is the best idea. I want to keep the video private between a few people. I am aware most place such as youtube, vimeo(not enough space) and dropbox all have privacy settings. Though waiting eight hours for an upload is a bit lengthy.

Network / Sharing :: Windows 8 - Homegroup And No Access To Files

Jul 5, 2013

I have a desktop and a laptop both running Windows 8 and are both members of the homegroup. In File explorer both machines can see the other in the homegroup but when I double click I get a message (on either machine) "This PC is currently unavailable". This has only been a problem since using 8. When I was all windows 7 the homegroup worked perfectly. Both machines have been set up to share everything including the kitchen sink. I must have a setting wrong somewhere. This used to be an intermittent thing. When I had my old desktop (also windows 8) other homegroup machines could occasionally see the desktop but sometimes not!! I have a BT router that on an individual basis works fine. All machines are using the wi fi on the router.

Network / Sharing :: Join HomeGroup Which Currently Consists Of Win 7 Desktop?

Jun 5, 2014

Want my Windows 8.1 computer to join my HomeGroup which currently consists of my Win 7 desktop and Win 7 laptop.

In Network and Sharing Center it sees the HomeGroup and says "Available to Join". I try to join by inputting the password and after a minute it says "Windows no longer detects a homegroup on this network...."

Why is this happening? What to do? What is the point of having multiple computers if you can't join them.

I also see that I can't even access the other computer through network. It shows both computers yet when I click on one it says its not accessible, I don't have permissions, etc. I have done nothing to change anything. Why can't I see other computers on my own network? On my two Win 7 computers it was as simple as could be. Why is this Win 8.1 giving me trouble?

Network / Sharing :: Homegroup Icon Does Not List Other PC In Group

Jun 23, 2013

My main PC is a desktop running Windows 7 and my homegroup was set up on this PC. I have a laptop running Windows 8 and joined the homegroup - seemingly successfully as the control panel indicates that it is in the group.

On the W7 desktop. The homegroup icon lists the laptop and allows me to access the laptop files. The network icon lists both the desktop and the laptop. I could also access the laptop files this way, but do not need to as I can access them via the homegroup icon.

On the Windows 8 laptop. The homegroup icon just lists the laptop user name and then the laptop itself. The desktop is not listed. The network icon lists both the laptop and the desktop. This allows me to access the desktop files, but I would prefer to access them via the the homegroup icon.

Network / Sharing :: Windows Can't Remove Computer From Homegroup

Aug 10, 2013

I have a Samsung Series 9 13in laptop running windows 8, and I'm attempting to stream video to my xbox 360 (it's one of the new, "slim" ones). I've read you need your homegroup set up in order to facilitate this, but I'm having nothing but trouble with it.

When I try to change any settings on the homegroup, most of the settings are greyed out, and the ones a can change reset as soon as I do it.

Screenshot is here: [URL] ....

How do I enable these settings? Any tips for streaming from Windows 8 to xbox?

Network / Sharing :: Windows 8 - Inability To Create New Homegroup

Oct 9, 2013

My problem is the inability to create a new Homegroup. The password I had for the one I created does not work since I left the homegroup. Now the only option available to me it to join a homegroup I have been invited to. I don' t know any user live near that has invited me to join so I think it is my old homegroup but that password is long gone. Now I cant share my videos and music with my xbox. I use an apple airport express that my computer and xbox sign in to but my xbox does not see my computer however, my computer sees my xbox.

Network / Sharing :: HomeGroup - Can't Access PC Files From Laptop

Jul 31, 2013

2 days ago, I bought a laptop with Windows 8, as I wanted something more portable to carry with me.

I decided to set up a HomeGroup, so I could transfer files from my old computer with ease. However, that doesn't appear to be working.

I can connect to my laptop with my old computer(see screenshot below)

However, I am unable to access my PC files from my laptop(see screenshot below)

It just blocks me out - I can't open it.

I'm absolutely positive all the settings match. I've tried to create the homegroup on both my laptop and my computer, but have got the same result.
