File Permissions On Windows Xp

Jun 7, 2011

We have set up 1 computer (from now Computer A) running on windows xp as a "server" with other computers in a MSHOME group (from now Computers B -D). File permissions and sharing was set up to allow all remote users (Computers B-D) read and write access. This is however not always appropriate. Is there a way in which we can share a specific file or folder with Computer C (read and write) but not with Computer B and D?

Setting Up Windows 7 File Sharing Permissions?

Jan 8, 2012

Im in the process of trying to setup a home network. Computer A and Computer B are in the same workgroup. Username/password are the same.

Computer A = Windows XP sp3

Computer B = Windows 7 sp1

The two computers can communicate on the network. Can ping back and fourth with ip and computername. Computer B can access from what I can tell the whole C:/ drive from computer A. Doesnt ask for a password or anything like that. Just works the way it should.

However, I cant figure out how to share the C: drive from Computer B with Computer A.

Computer B

Click on C: >> Properties >> Sharing
And this is what i see on the sharing tab

It looks like its shared cause i see the \inteli5c. But when i go onto the other computer I cant access it. This picture doesnt seem to want to work. But that link is the screen that comes up when i try to access the C: from the opposite computer.

Windows 7 And Xp File Sharing

Sep 19, 2012

The Windows XP SP3 PC can login to the Windows 7 PC's file shares without a problem.But, the Windows 7 PC cannot login to the XP PC's file shares. Using the GUI I always get error code 0x800704b3. Using the "Net Use" command I always get "System error 67 has occurred. The network name cannot be found."This problem occurs regardless of whether I try to connect to the Windows XP PC by network name or IP address.On the Windows 7 PC I can successfully ping the Windows XP PC by both network name and IP address.

Why Windows 7 Wifi File Transfers Faster Than In Xp

Nov 30, 2012

I have a couple of pc's between which I transfer video files using Wifi, one is a laptop running XP and the other is a media centre which *was* running Windows 7. The laptop is connected to an N router using an ethernet cable to increase speed and because they are located next to each other, and the media center which is on another floor of the house uses a Wifi connection to the router.

The file transfers between the pc's used to run at about 70Mbits/sec which I was happy with. However due to problems with the media centre, I recently downgraded that pc to XP since I get much smoother HD video playback from XP MCE. But... since these changes the transfer speed has now halved to about 35 Mbits! Remember all the pc and network hardware is the same, the only change is to the operating system on the media centre pc.

At first I though maybe the different XP drivers for the network card on the media centre might be rubbish, so I changed the network card altogether, but the speed has remained the same. I have also stripped the networking configurations down to the minimum to reduce overheads, so have removed QOS and unnecessary file and print sharing etc. But none of this has worked. Am I missing something in the XP network configuration that might correct this problem, or is it simply the case that Windows 7 Wifi is just that much improved and faster than XP?

Netgear Router / File Sharing Between Windows 7 And Vista?

Jan 7, 2011

We have three desktops...2 Macs and a windows vista...my brother has a windows vista laptop, my mum has a Macbook laptop and for Christmas I got a windows 7 laptop! But that's not all that relevant because all I am really interested in is setting up file sharing between my old vista desktop and my new windows 7 laptop, so I can transfer my music, etc across. (I know that I could easily do this by other methods but I want filesharing set up for the future).Both computers are wirelessly connected to a Netgear router.Initially i tried fiddling around with various network settings and I've managed to get the two computers to recognise each other...and they can access the 'public' folder. I tried fiddling with advanced sharing to let them access other folders which appear as shared folders, but when i tried to access them from the other computer i was denied access.

How To Setup A Windows XP File / Printer Home Server

Jan 21, 2013

I would like to set up a home server, that will sit under the stairs so that it can link to out BT home hub (v3). The idea is then to connect the printer to it, so that we can have both a wireless printer and a central file store for pictures/vids etc.Is XP ok for this? if so, what settings do I need to change/add?Is there any software that I need to make it work?How do I make sure that it is secure for external hacking? As it will contain our personal docs/photos etc and I would hate to use them.

Cisco :: File Rights For LMS 4.1 On Windows Server 2008 R2

Nov 28, 2011

I have been having a number of different problems (Java not being able to start, polling jobs not being able to add devices, etc) and am wondering if the root cause could be a rights issue on my server.  I have installed LMS (which was an upgrade from 3.x to 4.0 on one box and then 4.0 to 4.1 on a different box).  The software is installed on a D: drive with C: as the OS drive.My understanding is that causer and local admins need full rights to the entire file structure of ..program filesciscoworks directory... and I am wondering if there are other locations that need additional access.

WRT54GL - Why Does Windows 7 Make File Sharing Impossible

Oct 27, 2011

I want to transfer a few larges files from my mom's laptop to my laptop.

I brought my laptop to her house and connected to the network (her laptop is connected to Comcast through a Linksys WRT54GL router)

I made sure that network discovery, file and printer sharing, and public folder sharing is turned on for both Home/Work and Public Networks on BOTH computers. I then shared her "Downloads" folder with EVERYONE for read and write. I then located her laptop on the Network in Windows Explorer, and tried opening the Downloads folder but it won't let me, says I don't have permission.

What is the deal with this? This would have worked 100% with WinXP.

I then tried disabling Firewalls, rechecked all the settings, and then I even setup a homegroup and joined the homegroup. I saw her computer on the homegroup, double clicked it, saw the Downloads folder, double clicked it - SAME ERROR.

All I want to do is transfer a few files from her laptop to mine, why does Windows7 make this impossible?? I am so frustrated!

I then tried sharing a folder on my laptop and tried accessing it on her computer, SAME problem. What do I do now? I'm ready to uninstall Windows7 and reinstall WindowsXP, this is BS!

Managing Browser Permissions On Network

Sep 23, 2011

I have been trying to convince my bosses, the IT department, and others where I work, in a small call center, to switch to a different browser other than IE. The reason is IE times out on the techs a lot and freezes up constantly. I am able to use Firefox and Chrome at the lead station and do not have any issues, but the only browser currently allowed on the techs computers is IE. The reason I am getting as to why this is not possible is that with IE, IT is able to block certain options in IE from being changed such as proxy settings, add-ons, and advanced settings, but that these settings cannot be blocked or managed in firefox and chrome.

Sharing :: Read Permissions Are Not Changing

Feb 7, 2013

I am currently facing a major problem. I am a user of the Smart FTP software and have several files in it.However, the "Sites" folder is showing a blank screen. It shows nothing, when there are supposed to be at least 30 files.

I think I have discovered the cause of this; the "Read" permissions are off. Here is where my problem comes in, when I enable it and select "Apply Changes Recursively", it goes back to the unchecked "Read" permission. It doesn't seem to take into account the fact that I want to enable it.

Mar 18, 2011

I work at a small private school for languages and we have 3 public computers for the students to use for general stuff, internet research, facebook etc etc. Now every week i go to the comps and make sure their running well etc etc but every time there is new stupid things being installed by the students. Anyway, i wanna put a stop to this activity. the computers are not a toy for this lot but a tool and if they need a program for something to come and ask. As it stands the comps are all win 7, and are connected to the network via WIFI. the network is a simple zyxel router. There is another office comp connected to the router running Win XP pro and i also have a spare comp in the office which is unused.

Access Permissions To Networked Computer?

Jan 31, 2011

I have networked two computer with printers attached to each. PC1 is with a brother printer attached PC2 with a HP 1100 attached.In the past I had no difficulty with networking the computers and have access from each computer to each of the printers.

I up graded the computer Susan and I am now having a few problems that I never had before.After I perform the Network Setup Wizard on each of the computers (in many different methods) I am having the following problems.First, every now and then I am getting the following message after double clicking on Entire Network then Microsoft Windows Network:

Entire Network Not enough storage is available to process this command.If I wait a few moments I will get the MSHOME and am allowed to click on that. After this I do see both guy and Susan. If I double click on guy I see items pop up. If I click on Susan I get the following message:

Susan 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.The network path is not found.Of course I can not add the printer from Susan either. Though I have had no problem adding the printer from guy to Susan. And it prints properly.

Home Network :: Get Windows 7 Laptop To File Share With XP Desktops?

Sep 26, 2011

I've recently bought a laptop with Windows 7 and would like to be able to connect to my existing home network which comprises 2 desktop PCs connected via a Dlink wireless N router which is acting as a WAP to my Billion non-wireless router (which the two desktop PCs are connected). ie the two desktops are connected via wire to the Billion. The DLink is just there to provide wireless for my laptop (and Ipod)

The first day I setup the new laptop it seemed to recognise the C drive and G drive on my desktop (which I had set to 'share'). i was able to do file transfers.

However, the next day, and since then, the C and G drives don't show up on when I click 'network' on my Laptop's Win Explorer... They did reappear once after I refreshed the Win Explorer several times, but that trick didn't work again

Internet is working fine on all computers. Just would like to be able to share files across the 3 machines...

I've experimented on the laptop with setting as 'public', 'home' and 'work' but didn't have any luck.

Sharing :: Windows 7 / XP Slow File Listings On Network Shares

Nov 2, 2011

Having got a new Windows 7 (64 bit Ultimate) PC, I decided to turn my old PC (XP Pro) into a file server. After much fun with Windows networking, I have one particular problem. Listing files on the server from the Win7 machine is ridiculously slow. A few directories have large numbers of files in them, around 10,000 image files. Browsing to one such folder on Win7, I have timed a listing and it took 48 seconds! That's a very long time to wait for a file listing. I have a network connection monitor running and it doesn't seem to be overloading the network- data was dribbling down the 100Base-T cable at about 200kiloBITS per second. Trying things the other way around, the same folder if placed on the Win7 machine and listed from the old XP machine can deliver a complete listing in about 5 seconds. I'm not sure which end has the problem; either the server is delivering file names very slowly or (my guess) the Win 7 machine is asking for them very slowly, perhaps asking for lots of crap that isn't needed like icons or file dimensions or something.

Windows Server 2008 - Online / Offline File Sync

Domain support with these operating systems seems to be hit and miss.I have 11 computers connected to a domain and I was wondering what the best way to back up the files on the workstations to the server would be. The server has a mirrored raid array and online backup as well. Just checking to see what the best way to do this would be. I am having trouble with the offline files sync / online files sync with these operating systems.

Sharing :: Unable To File / Print Share Between Windows And Linux?

Oct 21, 2011

I have between 8 and 10 computers on my home LAN. They are split between the default workgroup name 'WORKGROUP' and the name I have assigned to my home LAN.There is a mixture of Win XP, Win 7 32 & 64 and various levels of Ubuntu.

After 6 long days of trying I have made not one step forward in allowing file/printer sharing.The Windows machines are all running Comodo Internet Security, on one of which I have created my idea of a set of rules to allow file/print sharing.The Windows XP machine, with a user created set of firewall rules,can see no computers on the network (using My Network Places), aside from itself and the shares created on it.It cannot see the computers which are not in the workgroup.

The most common error message this computer generates is 'network path not found'. A win 7 32 bit computer, in the workgroup, can see all other computers that are in the workgroup, including itself, twice.It cannot access any shares on the Linux computers. It is able to access shares on the Windows XP computer.ufw Firewall is installed and enabled on one Linux machine and has a vaguely similar set of file/print sharing rules.That machine can see nothing at the Network place.A couple of hours ago it could see the machines that are NOT in my workgroup but could not see the machines that are!

Another linux computer can see the two workgroups (named and default) within the windows network, but cannot browse either workgroup. The most common error message from sharing attempts with the Linux machines is 'unable to mount location. Failed to retrieve share list from server'.Right now I am reduced to transferring USB sticks between adjacent computers....

HP Photosmart 7150 - Mac File Won't Print Properly On Windows 7 Networked Printer

Apr 16, 2011

I have an HP Photosmart 7150 networked on a Win7 PC. I followed the below directions to set up the share on my Mac with SnowLeopard. My issue is that a file that is, say 700 kilobytes gets transmitted to the spooler as several megabytes. As a result when I print a file it runs through all of the paper in the tray. If there is enough paper loaded it will eventually print the file. Somewhere in the middle it will print several pages of garbage.

Make sure your printer is on and connected to the USB port on the router.In OS X go to System Preferences.Click on Print & Fax.Click the lock (to unlock) to make changes. Enter your password if you need to.Click on the plus (+) sign at the left to add a printer.In Leopard/Snow Leopard click on the IP tab.In the Protocol drop down, select HP JetDirect - Socket.In the Address drop down, type the IP Address of your printer (192.168.1.10)Leave Queue blank.

Give a descriptive name [Network Printer].Give a descriptive location.In the Print Using drop down either select your driver or choose the "select a driver to use" option.Choose the appropriate driver for your printer.Press OK and then click Add.
