I don't know exactly where to post this because I have two issues.I setup a network to share the internet connection and the only personal computer I am experiencing trouble with is the one running windows XP Home the others are running XP pro.Is there something wrong with XP home. I can't get my adapter to work with the personal computer running XP home but one of the personal computer running XP pro has no trouble. I also have a printer that will not work with the XP home.

Two computers running windows xp professional and each computer has 3 different NIC cards. 1 wireless, 1 wired through switch and 1 wired directly. I used the network setup wizard to configure file sharing however neither computer can see the other's shared folders. The only firewall running is the default windows firewall. I suspect it has something to do with the different NIC cards and it is trying to find shared folders using the wireless as opposed to through the LAN.

I am running Windows XP Home on 2 machines. I have them connected in a home network and, for both machines, they are sharing their drive Cs. But for security reasons, I cannot seem to share the Windows and Program Files folders. Is there anyway to override the security and share them anyway?

i have a problem with my network folder.It seems that I can't see my existing network connections in the folder! I first noticed this when i click on my dial-up connection the connection window won't come up.When i open the network connections folder in the control panel, an error message comes up with this message:The Network Connections Folder was unable to retrieve the lsit of Network adapters on your machine. Please make sure that the Network Connections service is enabled and running.

For years I have been able to print from networked computers in my home ( two desktops running XP pro hardwired, one laptop XP wireless and one desktop xp wireless) to my main computer thru a router. The main computer ran XP home edition for years until my hard drive crashed and left me without an operating system ( The PC is an HP pavillion and had the recovery disc partitioned on the hard drive). I installed a new hard drive and was able to install XP pro from my boys computer that was received from a home school company that they use. The company had sent me a OEM version of XP pro with all their sofware on it that were copied on blank cd's. When I initially set my main computer up again I was able to print from all my computers. I then grew tired of always logging on with a password that was setup by the home school company.
Now I cannot print from any computer other than the main computer where the printer is connected. My first question would be: Can I delete the users on my main computer that were setup by the Home school company and start my own user? Next: Do I need a password? I would rather not have one. I only need one user account on the main computer. If I can delete the users and passwords, should I move any or all documents out of the user I want to delete? Will any of this solve my problem of not printing from my networked printers?

I have a 3-computer home workgroup that connects to the internet via a Netgear router. I have a Lexmark X74-75 printer/scanner/copier that is connect to one of those computers, and that computer is connected directly to the router. The other two computers print to the Lexmark via sharing. This setup has been working without issue for about 2 years, but in the past week, everything seems to have gone to hell, including the ability to print. This description may be a little long,but I have to be everything I am about to relate is somehow connected.I will do my best to also advise what I have installed, removed, etc., during that period.

I have a home network with six computers, connected to a DHCP Router and ADSL Modem. I also have a IOmega Network drive connected to the router.Well, I had to reinstall Windows XP on one of the computers, taking the chance to install SP3 directly after installation.So far so good. But when I was going to connect to the Network drive, I could not find ANY! computers when checking for them. I can connect to the router on its setup IP adress, and also the drive setup. But I did not see the volume. I also have Internet connection.
I tried to ping the drive, and it worked. I tried to ping the other computers, but it did not work.
Then I tried to search for the volume, and it worked. I was able to map the volume as a drive, but I still cant see it on the net. Searching for the other computers was negative.

1. When I try to run the Network Setup Wizard, I get an error at the very end that Windows was unable to complete the setup
2. When I select Windows Firewall from the Control Panel, I says that it cannot start the service
3. When I select Network Connections>Local Area Connection>Properties>Advanced (tab) it says that it cannot display some of the properties of the connection because WMI information may be corrupted
4. When I try to configure my Intel network adapter, it says that it "failed to load a network component"
5. Also, this is not related to networking but the Windows Updater has failed to install every update for quite a while now.

Whenever i start my laptop, for the first 2 min, i am unable to open 'network connections' or open my dial-up dialog to log on to the net. What i have noticed is that 'wuauclt.exe' is taking about 50 mb of the memory, and as soon as this process is gone, i can access my net connection.

I have had numerous problems with my PC - including disappearing icons, connectivity problems (I have cable internet and all seems to be in order but I can't connect a lot). I also have settings on my PC that somehow change themselves. So, I've read through the forums and decided to try the Hijack this solution and was hoping someone could help. I also cannot use Internet Explorer - I get a window that mentions internet settings. Before that window came up I saw something to the effect of c:windowssystem 32 error.

I 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.

I have an Intel Network card in a fairly modern computer running Windows XP SP1. Unitil I uninstalled a VPN client I have had no trouble with it. However, after the uninstall, Win XP displays a yellow icon with an exclamation mark for the network card in the device manager and the info says "Code 31 Could not load the drivers for this device".I have tried uninstalling the network adapter (in order to be able to re-install it) but Win XP tells me that it "Failed to uninstall the device. The device may be required to boot up the computer".I have also tried upgrading the drivers for the adapter but the problem prevails.My guess is that the registry somewhere links my network card with a virtual driver that the VPN client used.

But when i log on to the domain and try scanning using the solution center or even adobe photoshop or any other software it just will not scan and it tells me to reinstall the drivers of the scanner. The printer works fine. Just the scanner does not work.

I had to wipe clean and install Windows XP on a computer that had a few virus' from work.This is store bought Windows XP, and it can't find the right driver for the network adapter. I have run Belarc Advisor and it doesn't even list a network adapter. Now when this had Windows Server 2002 it could hook up to the internet and browse it just fine. I tried several anti virus programs and none could get rid of the virus this machine had. Hence the wipe clean and install.

I am using some software that allows a number of differen communication protocols to the end device, depending upon which hardware is fitted to the device. One of the options we used to use when dialling in to a remote network was TCPIP/NdisWanlp, as distinct from TCPIP/NetworkCard when connecting directly to the network.I no longer have the TCPIP/NdisWanlp option on my lapstop ?

I recently installed Windows XP professional on a new hard drive on Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop. The OS installed fine but now I cannot get onto internet. I have ATT/Yahoo DSL. My laptop has integrated wireless adapter.
When I look under device manager -> network adapters, I only see the following listed:
1) 1394 Net Adapter
2) Bluetooth Device (Personal Area Network)
3) Bluetooth Device (RFCOMM Protocol TDI)
I don't believe any of the above are for internet.
On my other laptop (Dell Latitude D610), under network adapters, I do see:
1) Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit Controller
2) Cisco Systems SSL VPN Adapter
3) Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection
Using Latitude D610 laptop, I am able to connect to the internet wireless. What do I need to do to my Inspiron 6000 to enable it to connect to the internet wireless? Under control panel -> network connections, I only see 1394 connection and Bluetooth Network Connection. No LAN 2, LAN 3, Wireless connection, etc.

I have a home wireless Linksys network, with 3 computers. Its intended purpose was to allow all 3 computers to connect to the Internet via an 11.0 Mbps internet connection via cable TV, which has been successful. However, I have never learned how to have one computer send info to another within my little wireless home network, a feature I would like to have, but which I have never explored. I have recently been messing with shared folders, placing two of the three computers on the wireless network, but have found it elusive as to how to put info in a folder to allow it to be shared by the other computer. I am unsure as to whether I have properly put each computer on the network. (Yes, I know I could put files on a disk in the A or D drive, which I have done, but I was of the impression that I could do things more efficiently this way, instead. Indeed, I would like to be able to download entire programs from one machine to the other. But lets keep it simple.) What I have done so far simply doesn't work.
