I have this slight problem and I cannot seem to zero-in on the problem. I have 3 systems on my network, all of which are Win 7 Pro w/SP1. The problem is they can see each other on the network, but cannot access the printer and/or files. The Windows Security box pops up that asks for a password...

I have several PCs networked together using a workgroup. All of the PCs are running Win7 Pro or Ultimate. (Please note: it’s a workgroup, not a homegroup.) It’s setup so that any of the PCs can access the others. Everything is working fine. When I first set up this network I put all of the...

Connecting to Comcast cable modem finally fixed! I am trying to help a lady with Win 7 Home Prem 64 bit on a nice DX4822 Gateway. She had internet connectivity for almost a year, then it faded and stopped. I can connect to the cable modem with no cable connected (not provisioned) and see the...

Win 7 networking appears to me to be way less friendly than WinXP networking. I have been networking multiple WinXP computers for years so I have some experience. While not a total noob, in all honesty I would not classify myself as "expert" by any means. I recently converted my (3) desktop...
