workgroup

I have 4 computers and a QNAP TS-209 NAS in a WorkGroup environment. Two of the Windows 7 computers see everything - the 3 Windows 7 computers,the Windows XP computer, the TS-209 and the OKI C5100N printer. One of the Windows 7 computers only sees other Windows 7 computers (just as if it were in...

Good Morning Everyone, this is my 1st time posting on this forum so please forgive me if I am not following some rules. We have an office with 12 - 14 computers. We are running a domain network (going to be switching to workgroup network). Anyways we are using Act by Sage 2008 to manage...

My setup: 3 year old HP Pavillion PC, 3 month old Acer Aspire Laptop, 1 month old E3000 Cisco router, HP Printer, 3 month old Windows 7 on both computers, latest downloads, etc. Current configuration: both computers connected to router via Ethernet cable. Printer connected to router wirelessly...

I have a pre-Vista Win desktop and a Win7-64 (HP OEM) desktop at home. ATT DSL, 2-Wire router/gateway, all hardwired. Nobody uses this stuff but me. I've gone to a lot of trouble to set up a Workgroup definition and a shared folder for the 2 pc's (more than once). Got it working. Then the Win7...

I have 3 or more system on my home network. 2 are W7, 1 is XP. Everything works for the moment, except that I would like to connect the machines without having to enter a login (user & PW or just user). Currently, programs will not connect to sync data unless I am logged in. The XP machine...

I have spent days trying to solve this problem - so any suggestions will be most gratefully received! I run a group of Windows XP Professional (SP3, 32 bit) machines in a workgroup, all using the same id and password, the id being in the administrators group on each machine. One of the...

Hello, I've tried searching the plentiful problematic posts, but I cannot find my exact dilemma. When it comes to networking, I'm as lucky as the man who played Russian Roulette with a loaded glock. Nothing ever goes my way. I have an XP laptop set up, I used to disable sharing because I...

I have a hybrid home network with two wired (win XP) and two wireless (win Vista) and (win 7) computers. Each computer can see the others on the network, "WORKGROUP". My usb printer (HP Deskjet 932c) is connected to one of the wired XP machines. Except for the win 7 machine, all can use my...

Hi, I have a Dell Core2Duo laptop with Vista Home Premium 64 with SP2. It's connected to my network wirelessly however I've tried it wired too but that made no difference. On the network are a number of devices; 2 windows 7 Home Premium 64 machines and a brand new netgear ReadyNas Duo, all...

All, Not really happy with W7 security because you can not see computers that are not in your homegroup. I have several laptops that must connect into 3 seperate LAN groups and each have different Domain/Workgroup names. How do I do this is W7? This was easy in XP (our corp standard)...

I have added a new laptop to my network something is wrong with the login Credentials to connect to my desktop so I have tried to remove the connection from both machines cannot. have used Credential Manager. uninstalled drivers renamed work-group changed computer names, passwords but as soon as...

I have a windows 7 Home Premium Desktop cpu. I have a windows xp pro wireless laptop. Here is my dilemma. I can remotely connect from the win7 cpu to the winxp cpu with no problem. I cannot connect remotely from the winxp to the win7. Am I doing something wrong or is this not supported? I...

This is a weird one... I have W7 x64 Ultimate on 10.10.10.2, connected via a switch to 10.10.10.1, my internet gateway running XP x32 SP3 (etc etc). Both machines are in the same workgroup, etc, and the private connection has NO firewalling at either end. I have uninstalled connection strangling...

Hi, everyone, I am having some issues with Win7 Starter on my ASUS EEE PC being able to carry out network discovery on my home network. When I go to Network, the status bar across the top fills veeeerrrry slowly. Also,the computer cannot readily identify other computers on my home network...

Hi all... I'm not "that" dumb in networking but not an expert either andI'm having trouble with a 4 desktops workgroup in Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. I'm not using the Win7 workgroup functionality but rather trying to share the folders I want using properties/sharing. I've posted this question...

Hi, I'm new to Windows 7 and networking but have an ASUS wireless laptop connected to my home PC by a Netgear ADSL modem/wireless router (DG834GVv2). Both systems are running Windows 7 - 32 bit and can both access the internet. They are both in the same Home Group and have everything ticked...

Is there a way in W7 to have all network computers shown the same way as they appear in XP network neighbouring, that is to say to have a tree, each node of which is a domain or a workgroup and lists the computers it contains ? Baumic

I have been running windows 7 on a workgroup for several months now. I just recently had a need to connect it to the domain. When I enter the domain name, it allows me to enter the username and password. It comes back with the error: An attempt to resolve the DNS name of a domain controller...

I am a novice so please bear with me. I have a desktop running XP and a laptop running windows 7. I have them connected to the internet through a dlink router. I had them networked by reading how to's on the web. Everything worked as it should. Due to an unrelated problem I had to restore...

Two fairly new W7 laptops which were working fine all of a sudden don't connect to each other or to themselves over a wireless network (a workgroup). Both can connect to other Win XP machines. But neither W7 laptops are visible to, nor can be accessed from the Win XP machines. File & Print...
