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...

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...

Hi, My main Windows 7 PC is no longer appearing from the other PC's under Explorer->Networking->Computers. As a consequence, this also means that it's not visible to my WDTV Live which I use to access media files from the PC over CIFS. This PC is the only one on my network which is running...

I have a Win 7 Pro 64 desktop and a Win 7 Home Premium laptop networked ( via workgroup not homegroup) I went to add a Vista laptop to workgroup and it asks for user name and password. Everything is set for no password, all folders, drives etc are set for sharing. At one point I was able to view...

It is my fervent wish that one day that it will be far less trouble getting the basic computing needs to work without having to seek help. I cannot access the shared docs on the XP PC. I get the error \\*****\shared docs is not accessible etc etc. For some reason on the Win 7 PC under network...

Dear All, I currently have a workgroup set up involving 4 computers with Windows 7. The network, prior to my modifications, worked very well, all of the computers were able to access each other's folders. The only problem with this set up, however, was that there was no permissions set; more...

Problem description Windows 7 Homegroups are works badly on a computer with two or more network connections. ( See windows 7 internal message when trying to do so ). Generally it is difficult to share files/ network with a second network card in windows 7. Connecting a laptop or other computer...

OK - so everything was running. My W7 saw my XP system and vise-versa. I changed my MB out in my W7 system. Close to the same such that booting with the same HDD was almost OK. Fixed things and I thought everything was fine. Today I try to copy something TO my XP system and I can't see it. I can...
