At our small business, we have one person who brings in Windows 7 laptop. When she does, it hijacks all network resources: The printer will not work, any new computers that come in will not be able to connect to wireless network, etc. This is consistent --every time the person brings the computer.
View 1 RepliesI have a friend who is looking at getting a new computer and he would like to know if he'll be able to share files and printers and maybe an Internet connection between his XP Pro computer and a new Win8 one using a Workgroup with no DC.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHave an older laptop running XP Home, Desktop running XP Pro with printer on it. Wireless network setup and doing fine for bidirectional file share and print share from old lappie to desktop. All worked great.Bought a brand new high end laptop with Win 7 (not impressed). Finally got the Win 7 new one to recognize both older computers on the Win 7 computer and was able to access file share and print on the desktop. Thought I was doneNope, now while I can see the old lappie and it can see it in the Win7 computer both directions give me cannot access the drive or specific files even though it "sees" themAll files and disks are set to full share. No password is required or any homegroup is setup on the win 7 system. I've been in the bus. a long time so you know I'm at the end of the rope. All searches through knowledge base and the web have yielded no results to this.I did find an absolute to this in insuring that both systems have the same workgroup. Changed the old lappie to the right name. Made no difference in access (after several reboots). Obviously can't run Easy Transfer with this situation.
Now problem #2. I changed the old lappies workgroup to the same as the Win7 computer in the hopes of fixing this. Made no difference but now I have two iterations my XP laptop in the Win 7 system.When selected, the info for one has the old workgroup and selecting the other shows the new workgroup (matching the Win7 workgroup).Anyway, throwing up my hands in frustration and disgust. Find no way to even dump the old workgroup map listing. Jeez. Sure glad they (M/S) made this better?
I finally was able to connect two of my computers up to share files. The only problem is My Win7 computer can't see the xp computer although the Xp can see the Seven. When I first set it up Explorer showed the name of the Xp but when I clicked on it the dialog said it couldn't find the computer. The Xp name was in all caps and when I checked on the Xp the name was all lower case so I tried to change the name. When I tried, the OK button was grayed out so I went in to So I clicked on More and was able (I thought) to change the name there. I had to reboot and when I did the computer had just appended the DNS entry I had to give to the original lowercase name.
I was finally able to rename the XP computer! I changed the name to NETBOOK all caps like I had originally thought it was. BUT it makes no difference to the Win7 machine it still can't see the XP machine. I did a refresh and the Xp's name NETBOOK showed up But I am still back where I started from because when I click on it a dialog box just says that it can't access ||NETBOOK.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI changed my ISP to "Clear.com" and now one, seldom used, Win7 computer will not connect to the wireless network. I have two other desktops hardwired and two laptops on the wireless that work fine. The two laptops are in the same room as the Clear 'modem/router', while the Win7 box is not, if that matters. The Win7 box worked in that location when I was on the cable and had a separate wireless router.The box that will not connect, does show that the wireless connection is availableand the adapter shows to be working properly in Device Manager.

I have two places that I work out of. One is in Romania and one in Bulgaria. In Romania, I have a small office/home network set up. It has at least 8 computers (including the three that I have with me currently - some wireless and some towers) and a couple of android phones and Ipods. I have no trouble accessing any of the computers shared folders or them accessing mine. There are a varity of operating systems used there from XP, Windows 7 and Mac.Everything works great. All the computers can access each other shared resources. All the computers are set to get IP automatically from my DLink DIR - 600 router. I have brought my three computers to Bulgaria (tower and two laptops). They are all set the same- no changes in settings. However, in Bulgaria, All three computers CAN access the internet but NOT each other.

My computer was recently cured of a damaged processor and a viral infestation, and it seems to be working properly again, however,I've been unable to connect to my network because the connection gets stuck on "acquiring network address".I am running Windows XP service pack 3 and the network device that isn't connecting is a Realtek RTL8168C(P)/8111C(P) PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm working on setting up a couple of new WAN sites with 256K frame relay circuits back to our main building. Each new site has a new PVC, and both are pointing back to a PVC on a T1 at the main building. The main site has a 2801 with a single CSU/DSU WIC, and each new site has a 1841 with a 3560 connected to fa0/1. At both sites, I'm able to get the circuit up, and the serial interfaces at both new sites show up/up, and the subinterfaces at the main site also show up/up for both sites. Routing is being done by EIGRP, and both sites are able to establish the 2801 as an EIGRP neighbor, and I'm able to ping/tracert anywhere on our network by name or IP, so routing and DNS appear to be working. I can also ping both new routers from the main site. However, that's about all I can do. I'm not able to access any resources on our network (email/shares/internet/intranet/etc) from the two new sites. I can ping the new routers/switches from the main site, but can't ssh to them. I can ssh to them locally. There are no firewalls in the equation, and I don't think there are any ACL's in the picture either.
Can ping and tracert just fine anywhere on our network (from both the 1841, a PC plugged into the 3560, or a PC plugged directly into the fa0/1 port on the 1841), including out to the internet, by name or ip.Can ssh to local router, but not to anything that isn't localDNS is workingDHCP not working using ip helper pointing to DHCP scope on server at main site, have to use static IPCan't rdp to anythingCan't get emailCan't browse windows sharesCan't get to any websites, external or intranet. IE says "Website found, waiting for reply..." but eventually times out.
I did some testing for communication over certain port numbers using telnet and nmap, and found the following:
Can telnet to url.. and local intranet webserver on port 80 (http)Can telnet to two of our Exchange Servers on port 25 (SMTP)If I run an nmap scan on url...com, or our intranet webserver, it confirms that 80 and 443 are open, but the pages will not load. I am able to telnet (port 23) to a state mainframe via the internet that some of our employees use, and I do get the expected login screen. I tried erasing the config one of the new routers, and just added back the bare minimum config to get the circuits up (serial/ethernet interface configs, eigrp), but saw the same symptoms.
One other thing to note: the 2801 at the main site has three other frame relay sites connected to it on the same WIC as the new sites, all of which are working fine.
I just don't understand why I can ping everywhere I need to be able to ping, and port scans show that communication is open over needed ports, but the applications don't work.
My computer is running on Windows 7. It has had no prior internet connection problems. It is wired to my DV-2020 router. My internet suddenly disappeared, as in, it doesn't work anymore. I'm not sure as to when it disappeared due to my personal absence, but from what I heard it was either during 'starting a game' or 'installing firefox add-ons updates'. Internet does work on other computers sharing the same internet (wired and wireless). On the computer that does not have access to internet it gives a "local area connection - No Network Access" and "local area connection - unidentified network." So far I've tried:
A system restore.
Restarting the router (at home as well as the provider)
Changing wiring.
Disabling / Enabling.
Disabling virusscanner.
My windows 7 computer was connected to my home's wireless network yesterday perfectly normally. I drove last night to my mother's house and proceeded to connect to her own wifi router wirelessly. Although my sister's computer that's on windows 7 connects ably, and both our iPhones connect, my computer will not. My computer finds the network( it is unsecured without a password if that makes a difference ) connects, receives an ipv4 address in ipconfig, yet does not obtain Internet access. It labels the network as an "unidentified network".
View 2 Replies View RelatedAt my office we have a dell server running windows small business server 2003, there are around 15 computers on our network running mostly windows 7 (a few with XP). I am wondering how difficult it is to add a computer to the network so it can log into our domain and all that.I just had to reformat one of the computers and would normally wait for our network guy to do it remotely but If i could do it myself it would save time (and money). I am already an administrator and basically i just need to make it so the log in prompt when windows starts has our office network listed as the domain instead of jus the local log in. It is a dell running windows 7 64 bit.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a VPN server set up behind a home router in my apartment. I'm able to connect to it from other locations, and have verified that internet traffic is going thru the connection (ipchicken.com reports the IP address of the VPN network). But I can't seem to connect to other machines on the router subnet. For example, 192.168.1.1 connects me to the local gateway rather than my apartment router. Also, I can't connect to known good static IPs for other machines on the remote subnet, including the machine I'm VPN'd thru!
Note that in connection properties, the setting to 'use remote default gateway' is checked.
