wireless card,but this is not a network problem.Local printer is O K.
Need help
I cannot install any printers nor can I see any in the Printers and Faxes. I can print and they show up under printers to select from programs but because I can't see them, I am having trouble updating programs like Adobe. Adobe fails making a reference to the printers. I checked the print spooler under Services and it is running. I have stopped and restarted it but the "Printer and Faxes" screen is still blank.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am running a Windows XP SP2 with 768 Ram and a 2.66 GHz Pentium 4 CPU. I recently purchased a 20GB Maxtor OneTouch II USB hard drive and it came with Retrospect HD to back up my comptuer. The program will not do anyhting if i click setup so I can set it up to back up my computer. It also says ''updating status'' the whole time. Ihave left it at this screen for a long time and still nothing happened. I downloaded and installed the updrade for this from Maxtor's website, and it is still doign the same thing. Any suggestions on how to get this prgram working so I can back-up my computer?
If I use this to back-up my computer, and I use its restore feature, will I get problems on my computer that I currently have? (the main problem is with Windows Firewall, becuase i cannot enable it. My ocmptuer got infected a couple months ago and ever since is says it is controlled by Group Policy. For more detals on my problem click here I am using ZoneAlarm, but it will not work with my home network for sharing files and printers even though I have the IP address unblocked).
Tweak Description: Just like the title says this registry hack will add printers and folders, scheduled tasks, network connections, fonts, and administrative tools to my computer which makes it very easy to navigate through the system settings. Note: it is recommended to back up the registry before any registry hacks.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI purchased the following system from Costco and was glad I was able to purchase the system complete without having to add components after the sale. I have tried and tried to get used to Vista (6 months) but as I am disabled and my brain doesn't always compute efficiently, I've had difficulties. Mostly with getting things recognized on the small network in my home. My other computers run XP and I wonder if there is not some conflict with the different operating systems trying to access the same files and printers? Finally I just decided to go back to XP..

Then on some login names, in their Printers and Faxes folder I see the same printer but the word "Auto" is in front of it. These often have limited ability to work.why they show up and how.

ethernet card is present in hardware devices, network connection says it "is there", the IP numbers etc. are all as they were.I have even tried a rollback to the time it worked fine, but no net
My Winxp machine cannot access my home network or the internet. If I boot up in Safe mode I have network and internet access, but in regular mode my Nic card shows a limited connection error. The last thing I installed before the nic card stopped working was Symantec Antivirus corporate edtion over the network.
I have tried to remove it, but it needs the network to access the uninstall file. I also tried copying the uninstall file onto the computer and this did not work. And system restore will not work for whatever reason.
Anyone seen this before or have any ideas?

Afternoon all,
I am having a problem with my network connection. I have a computer on our corporate network that is attached to a gigabit backbone. When I try browse my network neighborhood, the refresh rate is extremely low. It takes 30 seconds just to expand the workgroup. Internet access is fine, I can surf the net with no problems at all.
I am going to try a new ethernet cable and check the drivers for my built in nic on my MOBO. Does anyone have anything else that they think I should check?

I have some difficulty when trying to access some computers on the network ( I have administrator privileges).
For example I can connect to the C drive on computer LRC-Q11 by clicking start -----> Run - typing \LRC-Q11c$ and pressing OK.
However when tring to access another computer even with a similar name eg LRC-Q012 I receive the message :
"LRC-Q012 is unavailable . You may not have sufficient rights to access this resource. LRC-Q012 path cannot be found"
Identical results are obtained using network neighbourhood.
I cannot understand this.
Suggestions please ?
I have 2 computers running Win XP. both of them on the same workgroup. From desktop computer i can access the laptop. but not the other way. if ping the desktop from the laptop i will get Request timed out. Any suggestion to solve the problem thanx
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am running WinXP on 4 computers connected together via a LAN using a LinkSys Cable Modem/Router. Each computer was set up to run on the same LAN. Each computer can "see" the Internet. 3 or the 4 computers can see each other and all shared drives and printer on each computer. But one computer, an IBMT40 laptop, consistently has trouble see other computers on the LAN and vice versa. This is a relatively recent problem. For more than a year the T40 ran across this network without any problems; then "network not available" started appearing once a week than once a day and now all the time. The T40 has no trouble seeing specific mapped drives on other computers (mapped before these problems started), but when I navigate through My Network Places | Entire Network | Microsoft Windows Network | LocalLAN, the T40 can see the network name (LOCALLAN) , but when I attempt to navigate further, I get an error message indicating that the LAN is not accessible and I probably do not have access permissions. I have rerun the Network setup wizard on the T40 several times. Everything seems to work, but when I attempt to access the LAN, same problem.
Also, the other 3 computers can see all shared drives on the T40.
Any help would be appreciated.

I have a network running XP Home on 3 laptops and 1 desktop. All computers
can use the internet and printers fine. One laptop (IBM) can share files with
the desktop but the other 2 laptops (both the same make etc) give the error
"The user has not been granted the required login type at this computer" when
I try to access them from the desktop or the IBM laptop.
All the references to this error message say to go to Control
Panel>Administrative Tools>Local Settings but XP Home does not have this
option on any of my computers.
My system specs: Win XP Home with SP1.I am having problems connecting to the internet from programs such as msn messenger, mozilla firefox,various ftp programs and updates.Only IE (6.0) and WindowsUpdate are the programs with internet access.When I try to ping on any IP address (except 127.0.0.1), I am getting the error 65:"PING: transmit failed, error code 65." At the time this problem started:
1. the computer had quite a few viruses on it (like DerBiz/Trojan.Win32.Dialer.gp).
2. we tried to install SP2, but it caused problems with ZoneAlarm and system became very slow. So we uninstalled it.
I now cannot access my wireless network in the house. I have a Linksys WRT54G router. The Int, WLAN & Ethernet lights are on. When I get into the home internet connections "details" on my HP, it states "acquiring IP address" and list all 0 (zeros.)

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to gain internet access on a wireless network from a PC without a wireless card through a laptop that has a wireless card using an ethernet cable in Windows XP but keep getting limited or no connectivity. It wont let me turn on internet connection sharing on the laptop because 192.168.0.1 is being used by the gateway, what can i do?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a laptop here running XP Pro that can login to the network, process/run login scripts, access the internet, mail servers, shared drives and other various network resources however the laptop in question cannot be pinged, accessed or otherwise be seen on the network (i.e.: \LaptopShare$, \IP.ADD.RE.SSShare$; ping IP or host = request timed out) The routing tables look fine, it is authenticating as it should, we've tried two different subnets, releasing and renewing the IP, even used a hard coded IP but the machine could not be pinged or otherwise accessed. I thought maybe the TCP/IP stack might've been corrupted some how so I removed all of the protocols and clients for that NIC however TCP/IP would not disappear from the list. I removed the device from device manager and upon Windows reinstalling the device, after a reboot of course, there was no change. Aside from reimaging the machine, what else do you suggest I try.

I am experiencing an odd problem. I have added my pc via a network card and cable to my son's computer. He has broadband access to the internet and the intention was for my pc to be able to share this access. However, I frequently find that my pc will not use the network system to connect to the internet but can only do it via dial up even though my sons's pc is permenantly on and connected. When it does use the network broadband works well.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen I try to access my desktop from my laptop and desktop to laptop, I keep getting a message that says that I do not have access permissions to network resources. I set up my network, enabled file/printer sharing, and configured firewalls to allow the network. My network has been working fine for about a year now until just recently. (I didn't install anything new, and I keep both computers updated everyday.)
View 1 Replies View Relatedthis problem is a little tricky to explain.I have 2 computers (A and B) on a home network, connected through a router and hard-wired with Cat5 cable. They are both running Windows XP Pro SP3 and file/print sharing is turned on. Simple file sharing is turned on.Both computers can Ping each other successfully. Both computers can "Net View" each other successfully.Both computers can see the other's shared folders in My Network Places.Computer A can access the shared folders on Computer B and transfer files, etc.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a new pc freshly installed with XP SP3. I used it as a server, I shared the two harddrives and mapped them as drive F and G on the network. The sharing and mapping is successfull, however, after a few minutes of being started (or after the pc has been restarted), the sahred folders and harddrives were self-disconnected for unknown reasons. My colleage timed it, and the sharing lasts only 15 minutes after restart then it is disonnected from the network. When i say disconnected - i mean i can't be seen from other PC's connected to the network, i need to restart the pc (again and again) in order for the harddrive and folder sharing is restored. I can say it is disconnected because the sharing icon (a hand with a disk drive on the palm) disappears and other PC's cannot access it.
