Add Printers Of Different Workgroup But Cannot Access Computers?
Feb 11, 2011
I understand we cannot view computers that in different workgroup though in the same network. But when I try to add printer it lists even those local printers that is attached and shared in different workgroup.
I have a linksys wrvs4400n router on which:The wireless computers are connected to the home network (v lan 1)Port 1 is connected to the home network (v lan 1)Port 2 is connected to the office network (v lan 2)And the printers are connected to port 3.Now I'd like to setup the router in such a way that all computers have access to the printers (port 3), but I don't know what v lan settings I have to use on port 3, or if it is even possible...
We have two different groups in network say 'A' and 'B'. My network is B. I can view the computers in my group simply by clicking "view workgroup computers". I wonder how I can view the computers in group 'A'
When somebody opens my computer in workgroup it should ask user id and password.I mean if they type \mycomputer in run command, it should ask user id and password.
I have networked three computer using lan through wired switch. I have one net setter with me. And i have connected it with my one computer.And now how can i get internet on others computers.
i am unable to view all the computers in my work group by which sharing is also not working. whenever i tries to open shared folder in other computer this particular message appears ( no network provider accepted the given network path)
Ive recently gotten four computers together on the same workgroup. They are all Windows 7 in some form or fashion, and I need them to be able to share the C:\Usersusername files so we can grab files from others desktops and work on data spread across multiple computers.
Ive tried using the homegroup function and Ive also tried just about everything and I cannot get them to access each others folders. No matter what I do it says I dont have the access privileges required to open folders on another computer. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would consider myself an 8 or 9 in being technologically savvy, and after an entire day working on it Im just unable to figure this out.
-All computers are on the same workgroup
-All computers can see each other on the network
-All computers have file sharing enabled
-Firewalls are completely off
-All computers run through the same router (though 2 go through a hub then the router, the other 2 go through another hub then router)
When I go to "advanced sharing settings" and try to give permission to a user on another computer the work group doesn't even appear. I can only give access to local users on each individual computer.
I have a DGL-4500 D-Link router as a base. And a DAP 1522 Ethernet Bridge I use to connect 3 devices and another router I am looking to host a media Server for the house(on the bridge).
every once in awhile we have a machine that seems to just lose the ability to access network shares and networked printers. The way I have been "fixing" the issue is to join a workgroup temporarily and restart computer and rejoin the domain.
I understand this is probably not the best fix available, but I am not sure what is causing the problem and/or what a better solution to this problem is.
why this happens and how best to solve this without just rejoining the domain?
I have two computers, one that is running Windows XP SP3 and the other which is running Windows 7.My aim is to access a folder on the Windows 7 computer from the Windows XP computer via the workgroup.When on the Windows XP computer, I cannot view Workgroup computers.I have disabled Windows firewall & uninstalled my other firewall.The XP computer can ping the Win7 computer by name and local IP. However, the Win7 computer can only ping the XP computer by local IP and not computer name.
Had the following network (fully functional) for last 3 years: Modem (netopia dsl 192.168.1.254) router (linksys wrt54gs 192.168.1.1) WAP1 (linksys wrt54g2 192.168.1.250) and WAP2 (Linksys wrt54g2).I was always able to click on Devices and Printers in Win 7 and would see the equipment displayed.I could also access the router and wireless access points by typing their address in my browser. The modem failed after 5 years.I purchase a new Netgear N300 ADSL2+Modem Router (DGN2200)and replaced the failed modem and attached router.I made no changes to either WAP's.Everything works just fine (after about 30 minutes on phone with Netgear Tech to configure), but now none of the equipment displays in Devices and Printers. Also, I cannot connect to either WAP by typing their address in browser.I can see the Netgear device when I click on "network" in file manager.It displays a model number and is labeled a "gateway".
I'm just curious as to why I am no longer able to "see" or access the devices. Looks like I would have to actually pull the WAP's and connect to them directly if I needed to change their configurations.
I have a Comcast SMC8014 cable modem connected to a Linksys BEFSR81 Router and a Netgear Prosafe 24-port 10/100 switch connected to one of the LAN ports on the router. There are many PCs connected to this network, including one used as a file server. I would like to add a LINKSYS WRT54GL wireless router to this mix to allow visitors wireless access to the internet and network printers but NOT allow access to the file server
I need to configure a network in 1 small office space that segregates 2 company domains but allows them to share an Internet connection, a WAP, a couple of printers, and a non-Cisco VoIP phone system. And, it needs to provide guest access to the internet and printers via wireless. I have a SG300-28P, an SA520W, and a WAP2000 to make it all happen. [code]

I can access the USB storage via FTP, but I wanted to access files using a Windows Explorer format. Also, anyone access the Media share ? Manual tells you how to setup the USB functions but not how to access from a PC.
I have a new laptop that cannot access my home wireless. There are 3 other computers that can access it so I know it's working. When I work away the new laptop can access other wireless connections. But as soon as I get home it's stuck on 'acquiring network address'. The weird thing is my kindle does the same thing as does my friends iphones & ipads. They all connect wireless no problems elsewhere but cannot at my house.
I've tried switching off the other others computers connections & trying to connect. Resetting the router
I was getting the standard "Network Path Was Not Found" error that I would get from time to time if I tried to access the drive before my network connection was solid on my computer.So I tried using the Easy Search Utility to "reconnect" to the drive. I tried the mapping feature and when I asked to connect, it asked for a username and password (which I don't remember it asking for in the past), so I typed in the username and password that I use to connect to the drive when doing maintenance and I tried the username and password I use to connect to the drive when connecting remotely through DynamicDNS. Both ended up giving me an error that it couldn't connect.
NOW when I try to use the old mapped reference to connect to it, I get the following error... "Z: refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer, or on a network. Check to make sure the disk is properly inserted...."
I'm currently having troubles using my XP laptop (although I have another XP that is still connecting just fine)One strange thing to note... while I was pecking at buttons trying to figure out what it could be, I started using the Wireless Network Setup Wizard and the first option it gave me was to Add Computers to the Network FSHGuest... which is a hospital network I was using. I didn't complete the wizard. Not sure if this has ANYTHING to do with my problem, but I thought it was interesting.and I checked the wireless workgroup and it is still set to the same group that all my computers are. Can you tell I'm not terrible proficient at network stuff?
I usually access my network computers by typing "\ipaddress" in run command. But sometimes this doesn't work so I have to type the computer name to access it. Similarly, sometimes i could not access with name but could access with ip.
I cant seem to access a webpage. I have 2 computer hooked up to a router and the router to a cable modem. One computer works fine and the other all of the sudden stopped being able to access the web. It says I have a connection but internet explorer and firefox can pull anything up. On bottom right it says local area connection is connected but another one says local are connection4 network cable unplugged. all cables are fine and network adapter says its working properly
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?
can view other computers but i cannot access them. i have 2 vista machines one xp and one windows 7. ive tried different hubs, switches and routers. wired and wireless.
Computer A: Vista x64 Home - connected to router by LAN<br><br> Computer B: Windows XP Home - connected to router wirelessly<br><br>
Both of these computers are connected to my router's network without problems. Computer B cannot access the internet through the network (but, neither has the multitude of other computers who connect to our network wirelessly)<br><br> Computer A can see Computer B in the Network Places, but attempting to access gives the error "network path not found".
Computer B can only see itself under Workgroup computers.<br><br> I have enabled NETBios on both machines.<br> Both machines are in the same Workgroup.<br> Both machines have a shared folder on the desktop with permissions set to everyone.<br> Both machines not only have firewalls disabled, but I have uninstalled them completely.<br>
I have few computers behind the wireless router. All the computers have static private addresses 198.168.1.xxx. The issue is that when I try to access any computer e.g to use FTP. From outside since I can only use the main WAN IP address when I use FTP I can only connect to one computer basically the one running FTP service on port 21. I can access the wireless router and if necessary can do the port assignments. My question is that if multiple computers are running FTP services behind the router how can I connect to each one of them.
whether it's possible to access information relating to 1 computer, from another machine that has previously connected to the same wifi network?For the first time I've connected my work computer to my home wireless network to work from home. When I return my computer to work, will they be able to see everything I've done on that home network using my personal laptop arous that time? My wifi network has WPA2 and has a password. I imagine the work computer would need some kind of logging software, how can I tell this?
Let me start off by saying both computers are running Windows 7 Pro x64, both have file and printer sharing turned on, use 128-bit encryption, password protected sharing is off and Windows manages homegroup connections.
Computer A cannot access its own or others shared network folders through the network icon on the desktop, I get the message "Windows cannot access \Computer-AMy Documents" and if I try to access Computer B it gives me "Windows cannot access \Computer-B". Computer B can access Computer A through the network with no problems. The folders have had the permissions set to Everyone.
I will like to know that i have 3 computer in a router (tplink broadband router n-series) network which has internet access but i don't want to access internet in other 2 computer how can i do that?
I have a wireless OS X 10.7.1 Mac a Windows 7 laptop, also wireless and one Windows 7 desktop, also wireless but close enough to my wireless modem that it can be hard lined in. If I use the "bridging" option in the modem settings, which I assume requires I enter the Mac address all devices:1. do I need to include my network printer?2. can I still access the internet from all computers?3. if I can access the internet, do I need to do so with everything going thru one computer or can they all connect independently?
I've been using "Linksys by Cisco Wireless-N Home ADSL2+ Modem Router WAG120N". I can restrict internet access to only 8 computers using their Mac adresses but there are no ore entry fields for Mac adress than 8. What shall I do when I need to block internet access to more than 8 computers say 20 computers on wired LAN? I don't like the option blocking the internet access via IP address. I found they are not that effective as the option Mac adress
