Sharing :: File Sharing Over 2 Netgear Routers?
Jul 19, 2011
Before I moved home I had one netgear router supplied by virgin media. On my home network I had my pc sharing it's printer and also some shared folders I.e. Music folder, my documents etc. Now I've moved I have had a new netgear box supplied by virgin media (which I call virgin media 7) which because of the shape of the building doesn't reach my bed room. To fix this I have had to connect my old netgear box (which I call virgin media 8) to the new one via 10m of CAT5e but now I can't access my shared printer or shared folders on my win xp pc which is connected to virgin media 7 via wireless if my vista laptop is connected to virgin media 8. I have tried looking in the setting for the option that makes it just act as an wireless extention to vm7 but they have removed the menu from the settings.

I am trying to establish a connection with an already existing IPsec VPN for file sharing. I click on the icon and get error messages when I type the correct username and password. I also entered the shared secret key correctly. I do not know where to enter the "group" name that coincides with the key I was given.

I'm in the middle of restoring a Windows XP computer after a drive failure, and on the new system, the Turn On File and Printer Sharing setting has been forcing a reboot and always resets itself to Off after the restart.

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.

[code] Basically, we used to use Outlook for our customer management, but after I tried to design a custom form for customers that suited our needs better than Outlook's default form (i.e. we don't need state, country, region, etc. for each customer, and we'd prefer to have spots for Roof, Shingle, Shingle color, etc. in their place), we ended up turning OneNote into our new Customer Management System.Our problem is sharing files, and the security or lack thereof that goes along with it.We used to save all the files to a single computer, and use Windows 7 Home group to access them. That worked okay, but often we couldn't see the file-holding computer, and would have to disconnect/reconnect to the internet.
We recently bought a NAS HD, which actually works a lot better than I expected. Unfortunately, we've learned recently that new employees are not always the most trustworthy. So this is what we are trying to do:We want to set up some type of way for us to save, store, and access files, which allows us to keep track of who has done what (access, save, copy, delete, print, etc.), preferably one where we can set up alerts if certain things happen (i.e. someone copies and pastes the entire thing, or attempts to delete). We've run into the problem where, yes, we want people to be able to copy and paste certain documents, yes we want people to be able to print, but no we don't want someone to be able to print out our entire customer lists, current project lists, etc.This NAS HD (MyBook Live 2TB by Western Digital) could quite possibly have the most ridiculous set up I've ever encountered. I can set up accounts and passwords, but they are completely irrelevant because from "Computer" you can just select the z:/ drive and it will still take you to our files. We just brought on a couple new people, and its like, everyone tells them to come to me in regards to the computers, and I can't even hook them up to the internet because it would give them access to our network, which in turn gives them access to our z:/ drive, which contains every file our company has.

\toshibapictures is not accessible. you might not have permission to use this network resource. contact the administrator of theis server to find out if you have permissions.
I have a little small network created with 6 computers. 5 of them are windows xp home and pro. jsut bought a new laptop with windows 7 64 bit home pre. All the xp laptops can share files easily but the windows 7 is giving me a really hard time.
The win xp computers can see the windows 7 folders showing up in my network places but when i try and open then it gives me this error "\toshibapictures is not accessible. you might not have permission to use this network resource. contact the administrator of theis server to find out if you have permissions"

I need setting up File/Folder/Printer sharing in small office LAN and also secure Files (password protect) among users. I have attached two JPG files in which i have tried my best to show the network diagram and how i want to share the files and folders. All the PCs are connected and i have made one Windows 7 Ultimate PC acting as File Server keeping its D Drive in sharing with other five Windows 7 Ultimate PCs acting as clients. I just want to know how to protect Files as per my requirement. There are no fixed PC of any dept users. All the users or Dept Head use any PCs as per availability.

our workstations provide data (files) to this network by using RDP. RDP allows a user to share the entire contents of one's C drive. I dislike this and many others in my organization also dislike this (from a security threat point of view). I am looking for an alternative and more secure approach.

recently i was trying to share files between two computers using a networking switch.(windows xp) I tried using network setup wizard on the host computer it only gave me two drive options f drive and the floppy disc drive. so i selected f drive to copy files. I inserted a cd and clicked next but nothing happened. i tried clicking format button and it asked me to 'insert a cd to f drive' so I avoided the format button.My computer has a backup system which someone installed and im not too sure about it so I was wondering if f drive was referring to the backup system (sort of looks like an external hard drive with lights on it connected to modem) or maybe referring to usb port. I did not try using my usb yet. The second pc I noticed did not have network setup wizard on control panel and was not sure if i needed it. I heard that a router has a firewall and is more safer than using a networking switch. at this stage i dont need internet connection for the second pc

I've recently had an issue where when I turn on File and Printer Sharing, and click apply, I go straight back to the advanced setting menu and its switched back to off despite me changing it.I cheked my services menu and I'm not sure what file and printer sharing has a dependancy on, but Workstation, Netlogon, and Computer Browser will not turn on with the error "windows could not start *** service on the local computer. Error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start"I network printers and servers for a living, so this is an issue when I'm troubleshooting problems.I cant really name everything thats been installed on this laptop, it changes pretty consistently, but no programs should have interfered with my network

originally had two Netgear FVS318s set up with a VPN tunnel and everything worked as expected. I could connect to the server at the office from a machine at home and browse the files and more importantly do nightly backups of files that had changed at the office over the VPN to the house. The problem with the FVS318s was that for wireless I had to have another device and that the WAN to LAN throughput was something like 7Mbps. Kind of limiting when you consistently get 22Mbps from the ISP.So, I bought two Cisco RV220Ws to replace them with. I started by replacing the one at home and was able to get it going with the FVS318 at the office. The VPN was stable and I had no problem browsing the files on the server as I had already been doing. A couple weeks later I replaced the FVS318 at the office with the other RV220W and the VPN came up fine but I lost all ability to file share between the two sites. I've watched the phase 1 and 2 negotiations and they look good from both ends. =

PC A is connected to 3g wireless router and and 3g dongle is conneccted to the router.(dongle ip belongs to a vpn).I have added PC A to router's DMZ, so that all the requesta coming to the router through the dongle (vpn ip) are forwarded to PC A.(Now I can access PC A with the vpn ip(dongle)).Now what i want to do is to access the shared files and folders in PC A from a remote network which is connected to the vpn by using the dongle ip.(ex: \[dongle ip] should display the shared files and folders of PC A.)

So what i want to know is, is it possible to file share only using a switch? At the moment I have 5 xp 1 switch (with ethernet cables) No router and no internet (the no internet can not be changed).
Will i have to set up individual ips manually (192.168.1.1/2/3/4 etc and then create a home network using the wizard and create a network disk.
Or save our time and get a router

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.

What I want to do is set up file sharing on both of my laptops so that they can share files both ways between them. I have in total 6 computers on my home network, and would like to limit the access to both to just the ones I want. I got about halfway before I hit an issue. My Windows 7 Ultimate is sharing both of its drives to my XP Home laptop, while being password protected for access from the other computers on my network. My XP Home Laptop cannot be shared without all the computers on my network having access too

I have a laptop running windows 7 and everything was working fine for file and printer sharing but all of a sudden the network printer just came up as offline and I can't access the network drive/printer on my Laptop but on my desktop where I have the printer plugged into everything is fine and the printer is online and is being shared. Both computers are running windows 7 and when I run the network diagnostics on the laptop it just says file and print sharing resource ( my PC ) is online but isn't responding to connection attempts

I access my files off of my desktop on my laptop, 360, and PS3 but now I cannot. I haven't made any significant changes to either computer.I've tried a ton of different things. All of the folders I want to share are set as shared. All of my sharing options are turned on in the Network and Sharing Center However, when I click on "Show me all the files and folders I am sharing", I see Pictures, Videos, and Music but I don't see the other 2 folders I have set as shared

I was having trouble sharing some folders, so I went in and "shared" some individual files. Now when I check what is shared, I not only have the files, I also have the folder they are located in and I don't need both. How do I get rid of the individual file sharing?

I'm on a network in an office where each person's computer has different specs, some PC, some Mac. We all share files off a common drive, either using it directly, or, copying it to our local machine to work on it then return it to the shared drive. I'm looking for a way to attach a notification to a file to let everyone know it has been "signed out" by someone, to avoid two people taking the same file at the same time.I looked at a simple program called Shediko Badges, which puts a badge over the icon, by right clickingon the file and choosing a badge from a menu, and undone just as easily, however, it can't be seen by everyone else on the network. This is the sort of thing I'm looking for, simple, cheap or free, that somehow marks a specific file without changing the name. It could be a colour change, an icon change... whatever, ideally with several options, for example where a different colour could be assigned to each person in the office, similar to the coloured labels on a Mac.

I created a share on our server for a few AD users and set those users up in a group I set that group to have the permissions to read/write this share. When one of those users tries to connect to the share from a PC, he is denied permissions, but when the same user connects to the share from a Mac, the file permissions work as they are set.I checked effective permissions for each user in the group, and they have the access they are supposed to. I've tried re-creating the share, recreating the group, and comparing the permissions to another share that is set up the same way (but working properly).

I am running Win7 ultimate edition 7100 (i think), fully updated. Im on a network with 2 other computers through a router via lan cable.
I've recently written a batch file to share my files on my portable hard drives with my network, using the 'net share' command. It runs with my computer startup.
Everything is working fine, and the files/folders are shared perfectly.
Now I cannot share any new files with anyone... I right-click a folder, got to properties, click on the sharing tab. Now usually there is 2 buttons, one that says "Share" and one that says "advanced Sharing". The "Share" button under 'Network File and Folder Sharing' is greyed out.
Also when i right-click a folder, and go to "share with", there is nobody to select.
Ive tried googling it, and messing around myself. My old shared folders are still being shared, I just cannot share any new ones.

I am having a tough time with file/print sharing between Windows 7 and OS X 10.6. On Windows 7 I can see the Mac, but only the printers that the Mac has installed. On the Mac, it does not see the Windows machine at all in Network.
