Limit Permissions On 3 Networked Computers?
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.

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.

I have two desktops connected to the internet through wired connections to a router. I also have one laptop that is wireless connected to the internet via the same router. (Also have another laptop running Vista, but not using it right now.) and all are part of the same work group with unique computer names.Desktop 1 can see that there is a work group, but cannot see the computers in the work group. Error message about permissions.

I have 2 Windows 7 desktops that are both connected to seperate vonage boxes and those vonage boxes are connected to my D-Link DIR-655 router. That D-Link router is getting its connection from a Comcast router. I am looking to get one of the desktops to share a printer from the other one which has it hard wired via USB cable. When I first set this up I did not have the vonage boxes and the desktops were connected right into the router and everything worked fine. Now that the vonage boxes are in place it is a mess. I can get internet fine on both machines, but no file/printer sharing. I have followed all the steps to setup the correct workgroup and file and printer sharing options on both windows 7 machines but they cannot see each other at all. My feeling is that now that the vonage boxes are there that instead of the desktops looking at the D-Link router for its sharing option they are looking at the vonage boxes and that is why they cant be seen. Does this make sense? Is there a firewall on the vonage boxes stopping these two desktops from seeing each other? Do I have to change something on the D-Link router options for it to give access to the vonage boxes for these 2 machines to see each other for printer/file sharing?

My home LAN supports 3 Chinese students who spend many hours each day watching movies through either Baidu or QQ. Both these operations seem offer streaming video but in a P-2-P mode. As a result typical daily uploads are running at greater than 6GB. My ISP daily upload limit is 1750 MB; after that I am throttled to 25% of the service I am paying for.I have tried and failed to explain to the students the impact this is having on me. I would like therefore to be able to prevent P2P uploads by suitable settings on my router. Is this possible?

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?

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.

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.

I have a two computers under the same workgroup.
ComputerA - Windows XP SP3
ComputerB - Windows Vista
I shared a folder on computerA and I am able to access it from computerB. The problem is I want to set permissions for the users of computerB on this folder. Under 'Sharing and Security' -> Permissions, I am unable to change the location. It always shows only computerA. How can I change the location to computerB so that I can set different permissions for users of computerB.

I have a department network share that has several sub folders within that share. The director of this department doesn't want her employees to have access to everything in said share. We have a blanket security group for the dept that grants read/write access to the share. I tried creating a limited view security group and added it to the permissions on the share (right click the share, security permissions etc) but I am still able to go into folders that I shouldn't have access to.

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.

Even though I am an Administrator on the server, sometimes I create files or folder on a network drive and when trying to access them later (or immediately in some cases), I am getting an "Access Denied" box.For example, I just created a folder, moved an item into it, then tried to rename the folder and was denied access.

I have a desktop and a laptop. I'm trying to share my external HD from my desktop, to my laptop.What I did was gave the local administrators group full share permissions to the drive, and of course the local administrators group also has full NTFS permission.That being said, I went to my laptop and did a Code:net use X: \mydesktopexternal /user:mydesktopuser PasswordExternal is the share name for the external HD on my desktop. The command worked successfully, however, I am still getting Access Denied when trying to get inside of this mapped drive.How and why does the command map the drive properly, using those credentials, but there's no access when trying to navigate to it? It works if I give Everyone full share permission, but I don't want anyone to just connect to it. Use password protection file sharing is enabled, but of course with "Everyone" given permission, that won't apply (at least to my knowledge).

I started getting into IT (as a job) a little less than a year ago, though I've been working with computers for close to 20. So networking was never something I was into while working on computers at home. I've been handed a significant position at work and I am learning a lot as I go. I want to know how to grant permissions for a domain user to a directory without adding the user to all of the sub-directories and directories. The only way I've figure thus far is to grant permissions to said folder, then inside remove the "inherit permissions..." but then I have to manually remove the permissions to every other sub-folder.I want to add a single path to a folder by adding single permissions to each folder until the directory in question is reached.

How to share a specific folder via LAN and enable permissions.More specifically, I'd like to share this laptop (Win 7 OS) with my Android PMP and Linux laptop (Mint OS) and grant it "full control" (read and write permissions) without granting "Everyone" control and without adding separate users with pw onto this laptop.(scroll to end of the post to skip details)Let's say the folder that I want to share is called "Bouncy." I right-clicked on "Bouncy", clicked on "Preferences", then enabled " Share.."to "Network Path: \MYCPUNAMEBouncy" and allowed Guest and Homegroup read/write privileges. From my Linux, I "Connected to Server" but couldn't connect.Under "Advanced Sharing" in Windows 7, I clicked "Share this folder" and created a profile under "Share name" => "Share name: Bouncy".I can connect from the Linux, but can't write to the Win 7 folder.
In "Advanced Sharing", under "Permissions for Bouncy", the "Group: Everyone" only has Read permissions. I clicked on "Add" and "Selected the object type: Users, Groups, or Built-in security principles" "From this location: MYCPUNAME". Under "Enter the object names to select" I wasn't quite sure what to write, so I clicked on "Advanced". The search results from "Find names" with these settings yield a ton of names that I'll omit. I first clicked on "MYNAME" in "My Folder": "MYCPUNAME". No access from Linux.I then changed the permissions to "Network", allowed full control permissions and now was able add files from my Linux. Which is good.How do I make it so that only a few specific IP addresses or Users (PMP and Linux laptop) have full control? How do I make it so that a password is required to access from LAN with full control?

I have been using the same wireless setup in my home for over a year. We have a Belkin Surf wireless router and an Arris modem from Comcast, using cable internet from Comcast. In the house, we have 5 devices that are set up to automatically connect wirelessly: iPhone 4, an old iPod touch, a MacBook Pro, a Toshiba laptop, and a Brother printer. Until recently, there has never been a problem with connectivity.
Lately, certain devices have been losing connection. For example, last night my husband and I were both using our laptops with no problems.This morning, his is connected and my iPhone is connected,but my Mac is not (I get a timeout error and am not connected to the internet). Sometimes it's his laptop that drops the connection. Other times it's my son's iPod or my iPhone. It is never all of the devices at once (something is always connected), and each device always recognizes the network as existing yet cannot connect to it.
I have also tried to change the channel that the router is set to, but that has not seemed to solve anything. The firmware is up to date. We are password protected in an area with few neighbors, and there never are any unknown devices connected when I check the client list for the router.

I have a home WI-FI network on windows 7 with an attached NAS drive for my media (plugged into the router).I was wondering how I would connect my work PC to the Wi-FI Network so it can access the media but disable the internet from only that PC.I have seen suggestions about blocking the work PC's IP in the router settings and something about MAC addresses, but was more hoping there was something simple I could disable in the network settings on the PC itself.

If Anonymous Disk Access is selected, read-only files cannot be deleted; nor can the file attributes be changed. This is true even if one attempts to connect as an administrator. Unchecking Anonymous Disk Access and logging on as an administrator fixed this problem for me, but I'd think there are 2 issues.
1. Anonymous Disk Access should allow deletion of ANY files. I would expect this to be a "wide open" setting.
2. If Anonymous Disk Access is selected, a valid login should take precedence.

I have a router with a motorola cable modem connected to my linksys router. In this network I have a windows XP computer wirelessly connected to the router and a networked disk drive wired to the router through a netgear switch.I am trying to move a lot of files from the XP computer to the networked drive.Everything works great as it will move files for as long as everything is up and running. As soon as I attempt to change the status of the modem from on-line to off-line with the push button on top of the modem, my XP computer loses connection to the networked drive.Why is this happening? I would think the xp computer and network drive are below the modem inside the network so losing the internet connection from the modem should only affect the internet connection

Long story short, I have a Asus CG5270 desktop with a cdrom that DOES NOT work and a hard drive that is totally wiped clean of any operating system. I also have a router and a perfectly working laptop with Windows 7 64bit home premium on it. I do not have a crossover cable or external hard drive. I have the recovery disk for the desktop which is Vista 64bit home premium SP1.Can I or can I not use the laptop to reinstall Vista on my desktop?I've found this question asked countless times in countless forums but also countless answers that do not answer the question for a person that is not a computer engineer.

I have three machines that run dos5 and are unable to be networked (for various reasons). I am able to print the screen of each system but I want to share a printer amongst all of them. As it turns out they are on completely seperate sides of the room and a way to setup a seperate computer to act as a print server allowing me to do the following:
DOSBOX-->parallel port-->printserver(computer)-->ethernet port-->networked printe.
My goal is to move the printer to a different room too.

Just purchased a DIR-655 Rev B router, old Belkin F5D9230-4 Died. Home Network wired and wireless. 2 XP desktops wired (one thru DIR-655 and the other thru an Ethernet switch unit (not a router)), iPad II, 1 XP Laptop used mostly wireless but at times wired, 1 Windows 7 laptop wireless, plus HP Photosmart 8450 wired thru switch. ISP is Starband satellite.
All was working great until I replaced the Belkin with the D-Link. I have lost the HP-8450 and have tried until the cows came home but it will not install from HP software from any computer on the network.

I have a setup with a Cisco RV042 router connected as follows: Broadband Motorola Surfboard -> Cisco RV042 -> Wireless Router [code] The Surfboard has a wireless N network, though the other wireless router runs on G for compatibility reasons.
The problem I am having is that I have a printer connected to a Windows computer on the wireless N router (with a static IP address), and I need computers on the G network to be able to use the shared printer. The printer is shared, though not through Home group.
On the other computers in the house (on the G network), I cannot see the server in the list of computers on the network, and I cannot seem to manually add the printer by typing in the IP address.
how can I get other computers to detect the server connected to the printer, or what IP address/port/URL do I specify to connect to a shared printer on that PC?
