I recently came back to cable modem, and set up my linksys router. hardwire to desktop, wireless to laptop. internet works great on both, but can not share. checked the share settings on both, checked computer and workgroup name, and no luck. I am not real savvy on computer knowledge but open to try. By the way, this used to work when it was initially hooked up.
View 6 RepliesI 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.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have Xp pro workstation that i set up as a server to share files and folders. I grant specific users both the shared permissions and advanced permissions. they can see the folder and access the folders. but they cannot modify them. It says "access denied". I verified that the permissions were not propogating from the parent folder also. Everything that i see says it should work, but it doesnt. iThe only thing i got to work was giving the user full rights to the above folder..which is for all to share but not to modify.

I can set sharing by disabling simple sharing and then using computer management console - but I would like the simple sharing to work - is there something missing from the system? It did work OK but now does not.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a PC that had numerous defunct users, some from old defunct workgroups. I thought I'd consolidate. I moved a bunch of files and folders to a current users folder and deleted the defunct files and folders. I did this in Explore, loged in as Administrator, because these defunct users were from a previous defunct workgroups and did not show up in User Accounts/ControlPanel. As administrator I can read and wrtie to these files, but the user can't. I have marked these folders as shared and given permission to do everything to them, but the user that need them still can't write to them. As Administrator, I have assigned him to the powerUsers Group in the Users account/ControlPanel.

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.

View 10 Replies View RelatedI have a minor problem in that fairly frequently my system will freeze when I close a window by clicking on the top right "X", although it seems to close normally when using the "Edit-Close" function. On freezing, Taskmanager indicates that "explorer.exe" is running 100% CPU resource, and can only be closed by rebooting via reset button.The only thing of any possible concern I've noticed is that there are 11 apps sharing IRQ7, while my laptop with the same OS and a similar set of applications does not even use IRQ7, and has no more than 2 apps on two IRQs.There may be no correlation between the freeze problem and the IRQ setup, but it makes me uneasy.

I have an XP machine that I'm trying to setup as a fileserver, but when I go into permissions, the only thing that shows up is the local machine, not the domain or any of it's computers.
-Is the computer connected to the domain: Yes.
-Can the computer ping other computers: Yes.
-Can the computer access other network shares? Yes.
I am trying to set up a shared folder on an XP pro machine and give permissions to only certain domain users. Problem is when I go to permissions, then "Add" then the only location I can see is the local computer - no option to see in the domain for users/computers on the domain. WIN2000 clients bring up the option of the local computer name and the domain no problem.

I can share any drive or folder except "My Documents". It doesnt even give me the option.
1. I would like to share a folder between 2 computers. I created a shared folder on Windows 2000 computer. I am unable to connect this shared folder by using My Network Places between Windows XP and Window 2000 computers or by using \computernamesharename link.

View 10 Replies View RelatedRecently I accidentally noticed that all 4 drives on my personal computer were being shared (C: 2 mirrored drives, F, G, H external drives). My login has admin rights, so thru drive properties Sharing, I disabled Sharing for each drive. Thru Network Connections/ Local Area Connection/ Properties/ General I also removed "File and Printer Sharing for MS Networks"
(I noticed on the Advanced tab that "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet Connection was checked and grayed out so I was mysteriously unable to disable this...) Problem is everytime I reboot the computer, the drives show up being shared again although the "File and Printer Sharing for MS Networks" protocol does remain disabled so I have to disable each drive again. I have never chosen to share my drives, don't wish to and am concerned about the insecurity and my inability to permanently disabled the sharing. how to stop the sharing or what might be causing this?
I have been experiencing a problem with sharing folders between two Windows XP Pro (SP2) Computers. I have searched the internet high and low for a solution, but i have not found one. This problem is driving me insane.When sharing folders between the two machines I AM able to access the folders and find them in "My Network Places". The problem is, while I am able to view the contents of all shared folders correctly, some files will not open and i will get a "you do not have appropriate permissions..." error. This is very random.... for example: say I have a shared folder with 30 files in it... I will be able to open and copy/move most of them, but there are several that will not open (when i try to launch these 'problem' files [zip, exe, wmv, whatever] I will get the error mentioned above). I dont understand how files in the same shared folder will act so differently.

I have two machines with XP Pro SP2 installed. Prior to installing SP2 I was able to share folders and access the folders by specifying the machineshare name. Now I get an access denied (even though permissions is set to allow everyone full control) . I'm sure it has to do with the new security features included with SP2, I just can't figure out how to get it back without uninstalling the SP.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am running WinXP on my Gateway pc and my Gateway Laptop. I know that printer and file sharing is an easy procedure. I have done it before and it worked. I know networking the two is a simple procedure and I did that too. My problems began when I switched from dial-up to satellite (Wildblue)internet. Don't know if that could have made a difference.Here is what I've tried so far. I first googled the problem and then took all the advise I could find, followed all the directions and nothing worked. I believe the two machines are networked because they are sharing the internet connection and when I did the 'ping' thing, each computer communicated with the other. I've done the printer sharing procedure over and over and over and when I go to the laptop, the printer on the desktop doesn't even show up. Both the pc and the laptop are on the same workgroup so that's not the problem.I
View 23 Replies View RelatedI have a couple Desktop PC's and a notebook PC. Both run winXP and I have all setup in a workgroup called HOME. From the notebook, I can see the main desktop PC I want to access but whenever I try and open it, expand the tree, I get an error: "xxxx is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. Access is denied."
But I have set the network sharing and security permissions on the c:drive on the desktop PC in question to allow for access and files to be changed by other users on the network. If I've set the permissions, and the computer appears on the list of network computers in the my network places on the notebook PC, why I am being told that I don't have access permission? Its feels like an XP bug or something...I can access my other PC on the network from the notebook PC just fine - add more network places from that PC on the notebook etc. But I cannot do this on the second desktop PC even with full access permissions granted.
I am running WINXP Pro after having to do a clean install (Network card failed and corrupted something?) I have a bunch of files that I could not access, figured out I had to take permission of them as individual files (I could see in the folders, just not the open the files) I've had to keep doing this every time I move a hard drive to another PC. My question is how do I reset all the file sharing permissions so that anybody on any network/pc can access the files?
