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.
Two years ago I bought and installed a USB2 Card on my PC (Windows XP with SP2). Last week when I bought a new Printer (Canon MP 750), which uses USB2. When I connected, IT WOULD NOT WORK; but when I connected to a USB 1, IT WORKED, albeit with a message that"IT WOULD WORK FASTER WITH USB2" and inviting me to "clickhere" to find a suitable Port. I did this, of course, but was met with a message that"NO HI-SPEED USB HOST CONTROLLERS ARE INSTALLED ON THIS COMPUTER".
Im running XP Professional, SP 2, on an Intel P3 1Ghz, 512 MB of RAM.I deleted my old Lexmark printer after I installed a new HP. Now my printer wont work. I tried restarting the print spooler and nothing. I checked the dependencies and both boxes are 'GREY' (closed) and show no dependencies listed.Im thinking I deleted some files or file required to operate the spooler/printer? Or is it possobly spyware or something causing this problem? I did perform a registry cleanup after the installation of the new HP printer.
I have a printer/copier/fax/scanner which was working perfectly. It is a Lexmark X1270. My Computer is a HP Multimedia with a windows XP operating system. Suddenly one day it stopped working. the following error message appeared error message: the procedure entry point? GetProductPrefix@LXkProduct@@SA?AVCString@@XZ could not be located in dynamic link library lxczutil.dll. when trying to use the copy function. For the printer function it would sometimes print ONE item. Then to print anything else I have to restart the computer and again it would print only one copy. Unfortunately the original cd with the drivers has been lost so I emailed the lexmark. They asked me to download the driver for X2500. I tried but it did not work as the model number seems different. I sent them 3 reminders for further help which they did not reply! And now again suddenly a few days ago the printer does not even load. Message says 'Spooler service is not running'. And even the other printers are unusable because the fax printer box is empty and I cannot reload a printer ..the same 'Spooler....appears.
I'm having trouble with pages not loading when I'm on the internet using Netzero and Internet Explorer. It seems to be secure pages mostly (every time I want to order something online, or when I go to a company's application center and try to apply for a job.I am on my second printer (HP 3740). Granted, it's not top of the line, but I just bought it because my old one was broken (I thought) and now it is starting to have the same problems as the last one, and the problems started about a week after I bought it. It started with the printing getting faded, like the cartridge was running out of ink, then it went through the motions of printing but no ink was on the paper. Next it will stop moving, even though the power light comes on.
In the printer and faxes window there are printer icons listed in addition to my default HP Printer. Whiy are they listed there and what do they do since you can't use them...or can you and if so, how? Two that are listed on my computer are:
I bought a new HP printer today. I had a hotfix installed at some point that shutdown and woke up my printer at shutdown and startup. The new printer isn't affected by this hotfix. Does anyone know where I can get this patch?
Two custom PCs with XP Pro at same SP level. PC1 sees printer through switch. PC2 can not see printer. PC2 connects and sees printer when I cable the USB DIRECTLY to the printer instead of going thru a switch. Therefore, I know PC2 can print. Have tried 2 different switches. An A/B data switch and Belkin's 4x1 USB Peripheral Switch F1U401. PC1 works with both switches but PC2 does not.
We've had to change our address space and therefore the printer address has changed. I've changed the address on all but one computer. On this particular computer when I try to edit the TCP/IP port I get the message:
"An error occurred during port configuration. Access is denied."
If I try to create a new port I can select that I want it to be a Standard TCP/IP Port and then it tells me:
"Specified port cannot be added. Access is denied."
I have connected 3 new PC's on a P2P network, and connected a HP 4610 Color Laser Printer via a JetDirect 175 print server. On one PC, I can only print from the Administrator account. The other 2 computers work fine. On the one that is having issues, when printing a test page I receive a "Failed to Print" error mesage, and looking in the printer jobs menu, it shows that there was an error printing. The Administrator account can print fine from this machine.
The user accounts are "restricted user" accounts on all 3 computers. All 3 computers are exactly the same type, and all have the latest updates.
After a system crash all printers are gone and when trying to add a printer I get the message: "Operation could not be completed. The print spooler service is not running" After starting the service manually and trying to add a printer I get the message:"Operation could not be completed" and the service is stopped again.I looked at some of the previous answers and related topics (like article nine, and Q324757
Trying to get printers networked for our computers. We have about 8 computers and 4 printers. I have a "cheat book" called XP for Dummies that I got the computers networked but tried to get the printers to work on 2 computers and kept getting this message that I had either put in the wrong printer name or the printer wasn't hooked up to the network.
I 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."
I just recently bought a D-Link DI-604 Wired Router and I hooked it up to one computer running Windows XP and one running Windows 98 I got the connection working and now I am trying to share files between the two computers.
trying 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
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.
I have a gateway desktop running win 2000 pro spk 4 and a Dell laptop running win xp pro spk2, i have a wireless router that allow my desktop thru a wired to conect to the internet and the laptop also connect wireless, but i want to be able to access the files and folders from each other, what do i need to do in order to browse each other i tried to share both hds and also created in both of them same workgroup name but when i browse from one each i don't see the other one and viceversa.
First off I am a power user and there is rarely a problem I cannot fix, so you can probably reserve any Tier type fixes. Desktops all running Windows XP SP3 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.
I am a company supervisor I have created a "Staff Chart 2010" by using Microsoft Excel. The purpose is to facilitate all staff when applying theirs leave/Time off/course.My company computers all networked with every staff aloted with one PC to work.Now, I do not know how to put Chart 2010 on network so that everyone could make full use of it
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.
XP 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?
I have two desktops and one wireless notebook running on win xp home OS on a home network using router. I recently bought a new notebook running xp-pro and I am unable to get it in the network to function with the other three. My main issue is that I have one printer which I use for all the pc's running on home they all print and are recognized on the network. I want to be able to use the new notebook that has xp pro installed so I can use the printer on the network.
I just got a new XP computer which I put on my home network. For some reason, I can't see it from another XP machine on the net nor can I see the other machine from the new one. I'm logged on under the same user name on both machines and both machines have sharing set up on their hard drives.
I have a winxp and vista laptop. I am trying to connect both together using cross cable. I configured a static IP 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2 respectively for each system. I have also made sure that they are on the same workgroup. Vista laptop can ping winxp laptop but winxp laptop cannot ping vista laptop.I tried using the same OS i.e winxp it work just fine.
I have a work laptop I'm trying to share files to a home desktop. The laptop connects to the work network using a PD and domain name. Both systems run XP plus both systems can ping by IP addr and hostname. However, when I attempt to map a network drive via the laptop, I receive a login screen, but the laptop's domain name's prepended to the login id. How do I set up a workgroup on the laptop without loosing the domain info ?
