I'm trying to set up a file and sharing network between my PC's, 2 Win 7's and 1 Vista, and I'm having a bit of trouble. I followed all the steps in the tutorials across the web including this link, Link Removed, and the closest I could get is the Vista accessing one of the 7's. All the PC's see...

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...

I have been given a new laptop, lucky me, and when I first ran the thing up, I manually created a wireless network access point that I know I would use in the future, its one of my regular access points, all fine here. When I came to connect to the access point it continually fails, so I've...

I want to disable Wireless on my Laptop completely I have a Laptop which I dont want people using the internet on. So I need to disable the Wireless completely so there is no way of enabling it again without me using it. I know I can just uninstall the wireless drivers, but is there a better...

Hello all, I have recently downloaded and installed Windows 7 Pro 64bit from MSAA and am having problems getting my Globetrotter UMTS-/HSDPA-card working. When I insert the card into the express slot, Windows attempts to install drivers, but fails. If I first install the Vodafone software and...

Installed W7 on two laptops and created ad hoc network with Internet sharing enabled. Worked for a few days then stopped. Have tried to set it up again several times to no avail. Any ideas short of a clean install of W7? The host is connecting to the internet via an Option 3G Ultra Expresscard...

When I load up Windows 7, the first strange thing was the Windows Classic theme... unless it was set there by default, which I don't think it is. When I try and access anything at all (Control Panel, Network Manager, etc.) It refuses me, saying "You do not have permission to access the...

1) BIG BIG problem -- any time I try to connect to a WIRED LAN I get COMSURROGATE Error -- flashes too quick to capture it and then the network manager just shows the really helpful message "Unspecified error" - screen shot attached. I MUST have LAN so this is a Showstopper. Device manager...
