I have tried previously to uninstall my HP Officejet G85 printer from HP Pavilion a1130n running XP Media. There is no Change/Remove button in Add/Remove Programs but the program is there, 150 MB, and the file suggested on the HP website for uninstalling older printers from XP produces a message that it's "unsupported" can't remember exact verbiage, been a while since last tried. Even reinstalled in the hopes that a message would come up to the effect "this program is already installed, do you want install to remove it prior to completing this install," but it just installs the printer again with a number after it ... I'm up to "hp officejet g series - 3."

Trying to get printers networked for our computers. We have about 8 computers and 4 printers.

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.
I plan to use my notebook (roaming from room-to-room) on a WinXP Home Network with a desktop (the ICS host) in my bedroom.. 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

of them are HP Pavilions, mine is custom built with ASUS mobo I've been through 6 different routers of 3 different brands and styles, because it SEEMS like a router issue but it simply cannot be after that many replacements.
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 3 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............
Is it possible to start networking once I've entered Safe Mode without it? I am using Windows XP Pro. Maybe there is a command or something to start the service?
