Two XP Pro machines on a hard-wire network with SP2. The host computer (A) can see the shared files of the other machine (B), and the B machine can see the files for A. However, when I try to access A shared files from B, I get a message that I "might not have permissions." I'm the admin on both machines.
View 3 RepliesI am using XP Home as a "server" to just host some files for everyone to access. We do not have enough in the budget right now to upgrade to XP Pro or 2003 and I was wondering if anyone had a fix for this. When I am on a client machine and try to access the "server" it will prompt for the Guest password. I type in the Guest password I assigned and it shows me all the shared folders. The only thing is that it doesn't prompt for the password on all machines. EX: Client1 prompts for pass, but Client2 doesn't. I have all the windows firewalls turned off.

I also will be using it with public hot spots when I travel. Given my planned usage do you recommend a Wi-Fi router Presumably my first step is to use the Network Setup Wizard to configure my desktop as the ICS host. Is this correct Also, if I use the Windows XP ICS software on my ICS host to share its DSL connection with my notebook, do I need the DSL software from my ISP installed on my notebook as well

connecting to a specific website and contacted my ISP as i was being blocked by someone and still am. I then installed a IP blocker and since have been able to connect. When i contacted the ISP they were getting me to do a heap of things with ipconfig netish ip reset and a few of ipconfig commands. Since ive done all these my home network hasnt been able to work. I have gone back into My Network and done the network wizard again and again I have also reinstalled another network card and still wont work. I have assigned IP address to all computers on the network. On all other computers you can see everyones computer with the exception of the host. The host computer cant been seen on the network and cant access any other computer as well. The internet wont work on any other computer either but the host internet works. i have another bootable HDD and booted from it and everything works fine.

Both systems run XP plus both systems can ping by IP addr and hostname.

How do I set up a workgroup on the laptop without loosing the domain info ?
I used to use the XP home netwroking to provide internet connection to my xbox 360 i used the "home or small office network" wizard and chosed the first option which says "This computer connects directly to the internet..." so it takes the internet connection from the wireless network , and provide it the xbox through the LAN connection and it was working without any problem for a long time but lately i couldn't connect to the internet in the xbox and i found that the error was in the IP address the laptop is not giving the xbox an IP address at all

All XP Pro machines running SP3. Error checking seems to enable me to log on as administrator (right click local c: drive, properties, tools, error checking tick both boxes run after reboot) this is done in safe mode. All windows updates installed (except annoying ones like windows search 4.0 etc) when the problem occurs I get "windows cannot load the user's profile but has logged you on with the default profile for the system. Detail - insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service" followed by "userinit.exe - Application error The application failed to initialize properly (0xc000012d)." then the system hangs and i have to force shut down. This has happened after the error checking has completed, logged in as normal and reboot and the problem comes back! I've ran, MRT (Microsoft malicious removal tool), Symantec, AVG and malware bytes and found a big fat nothing!

View 11 Replies View RelatedThe Windows Sysinternals group at Microsoft has released Disk2vhd that is a free physical to virtual converter. Disk2vhd allows you to create VHD (virtual hard dive) files from physical drives on your computer while your system is online. The VHD files generated can be used in Microsoft Virtual PC or on Hyper-V server and you will have an instant clone of your machine running virtually. This is perfect for duplicating a production server for a development virtual machine that you can use on a different computer.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to network two laptops together via Ethernet cable rather than through the wireless router, as I am trying to transfer large files quickly.I am using a Dell Inspirion 8100 and a Sony Vaio PCG-Z1A.I was able to connect the Vaio PCG-Z1A to a MacBook Pro via Ethernet cable just a couple of days ago, so I don't think that the problem is with the Vaio.When I plug the Dell into the router with the Ethernet cable, it automatically detects the connection and DHCP assigns an address. Thus, I can only assume that the Ethernet adapter is working fine. But when I plug the Dell directly into my Vaio with the Ethernet cable, the tray icon on the Dell says "Local Area Connection - A network cable is unplugged."

View 8 Replies View Relatedtrying to "Home Network" between Windows XP Media Center Edition service pack 3 & Windows Vista Home Premium. The Internet connection originates thru a DSL connection from "Westell" Modem to "D-Link" Ethernet Switch and is functioning on BOTH computers. The file sharing is ANOTHER story--The Vista OS "sees" & shares ALL the files/drives shared FROM XP--HOWEVER, the XP computer ONLY "sees" & shares "Public" & "User" Folders--when I try to access the C-Drive Folder (which I have set up to share like the others, I get the following message: "C is not accessible. You might not have permission to us e this network resource. Contact the administrator of the server to find out if you have access permissions."
I have turned off my Windows Firewall on Vista & have tried repeatedly to allow access to "everyone" regarding the C Drive on the Vista computer--and after a restart the same issue exists.
We have a network of computers running at work.
5 comps in total.
All running XP Pro.
They all connect to the network and internet through a net gear router. My net gear router has only 4 ports so i connected a netgear switch to one of the ports to extend it and allow another 2 connections.
One of the computers would run a server application software, and the other computers would run the client application which would connect to the server thru the LAN.
All was working fine, with no issues at all.
The problem:
Recently we upgraded all of our computers to DELL. Optiplex 740's.
Specs are nothing special:
OptiPlex 740MLK SF AMD X2 4800 (2.5Ghz 1MB 65W)
E-Star : Energy E-Smart enable
Memory : 1024MB (2x512MB) 667Mhz DDR2 Dual Channel NON-ECC
Hard Drive : 160GB (7200Rpm) Serial ATAII 3Gb/s
All running Windows XP PRO – Some have been updated fully, others no updates at all.
one of my client application stopped responding and was hanging.
This is what I have going on. My office PC is hooked up to a Linksys wired router, which is powered to the internet by a cable modem. I also have a belkin wireless access point plugged into the 2nd input to power my laptop (both run on winXP home). I want to be able to print to my printer from my laptop. I have tried to do the ADD PRINTER and when it searches all I get is the INTUIT INTERNAL PRINTER. I have turned sharing on for both the laptop and office PC. I should also add that I added the PC printer driver on my laptop, and still nothing.I was told to go to my computer then tools then to folder options then view and scroll to the bottom and click on file sharing, however this is not there.

View 7 Replies View RelatedXP Pro SP2. In Network Connections folder I had an icon for a dial-up connection (which I use), a LAN connection (for wired NIC), A Wireless connection (for built in wireless card), and a 1394 connection (firewire port that XP likes to list as a connection). The NIC, wireless, and 1394 I keep set to disabled when I'm not using them. I enabled the wireless card and set up ad-hoc connection to another laptop with built-in wireless, so I could transfer some files between the two.
After I was finished, I disabled the wireless connection again. My dial-up networking connection disappeared from the Network Connections folder, and it's shortcut icon on desktop disappeared. It still showed in IE Intenet Options, and I could dial-up from there, but when I did, no computer icons appear in the taskbar, leaving me no way to disconnect except by pulling the phone cord............

View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently got a few notifications of viruses on my computer. Along with it came a lot of adware pop-ups. I downloaded Kaspersky AV 7.0 from their site and am using it as a trial version. I had an older version of McAfee, but hadn't renewed and do not have up-to-date virus definitions. As the title reads, my computer will only work when I boot windows in safe mode with networking. When I try to boot it up regularly, it goes very slow at the log-in screen and then once I log in, there's only a black screen with the mouse pointer. I left it at that window for a few hours hoping it would eventually load. Not the case. Same thing happens when I boot in safe mode with the exception that ctrl+alt+del works and will bring up the Windows Task Manager and then I can run/terminate programs from there. But no start toolbar or icons or anything else. I have done several full scans and they come up with viruses every time.
