I have a Windows Vista in an enterprize domain. This PC is running VMware supporting also some 3 virtual XP machines. In another networking card via LAN it is connected also to another XP machine, which is not a domain memeber. Problem is that while maping a local drive in the LAN PC works fine, connectng and/or maping in the virtual machines (also not members in the Vista domain) fails. Can...

I have a drive letter that's mapped to a network drive by default. When I insert a USB drive it tries to assign itself to that same letter, which creates a conflict and I can't figure out how to access the USB drive. Is there some way I can direct it to another drive letter?

Hello, I am having trouble with my network in Windows 7. My firewall recognizes my network on all three computers and they are all correctly named. Ethernet, but wireless gives no luck either. It's set to home network, with network drives mapped on all computers. Vista worked well this way but on 7 the network in Windows Explorer only recognizes the computer it's opened on. Any help...

I have a small network with 4 pcs. 1 is Vista 64, two XP Pro and 1 W2K. Peer to Peer. All machines could see the other machines shares without problem. The net browser is the W2K machine. I had to change the chassis of 1 XP Pro box because of heating. everything was phisically moved to another chassis, no OS change watsoever, nor component changes. Now, both XPs and the W2K can see shares in...

Hi all, I disable 'NetBIOS over TCP/IP' on ALL adapters on the XP machine, reboot the machine, and find the share folder (for testing) still able to accessed by another windows XP machine. Also, all drives on the machine can be browsed in Linux with the Connect to server utility. the problem exists on Vista too. How can i disable NetBios so that no one can access any drive or file

For some reason I am unable to see the network icon for my NAS in Networks, I can see other computers and can access them ok, someone suggested to go to cmd and type net view but when I do I get "system error 58 has occurred" the specified server cannot perform the requested operation. Thanks

I have a Desktop running XP - SP3 wired to a Linksys wireless router. My Vista laptop is wireless. I can connect to the Internet fine from either machine. I can see and access the laptop from the desktop but I can't see the desktop XP machine from the Vista laptop. I went through this same thing with my network up north but now that we've moved back to Florida I've got the same problem. ...

I use Vista Home Premium. I have a network that connects one computer by cable and 3 computer by wireless. I also have a LaserJet 4 Plus. It has an adapter card that is connected to the router/modem by cable. I have gone thru the 'Add Printer' procedure several times. It 'finds' a TCP/IP 'generic adapter card and, after awhile, a list of printers is displayed. I select mine. Give it a shared...

Even if you have different firewall; most of them should have been similarity to norton. Go to norton security option; go under General-Settings -Trust Control. Add your xbox ip there. Most of the time if you have dynamic ip; the ip will oftenly change everytime you restart your console/pc. I suggest you set your router to allow only 10 pc user from range 100-110. So for instant: My router...

But we have a new consultant with an XP box and a Vista box. The XP box is IN our domain wheras the Vista box IS NOT, it's just plugged in to get on the internet. He can login to his XP box without any issues, but when he attempts to log in to his Vista box, his network account is automatically locked out. I'm guessing that it might be the issue above, where he's logging in with the same user...

When ever I dial out, I get an error 31 message A device attached to the system is not functioning. I have tried 4 different modems but they all do the same thing. The modem dials out but when it tries to check user name and password it disconnects and says errror 31 -A device attached to the system is not functioning. I have seen a few other people with this same problem on the different...

Hi, My apologies if this is an old question, I couldn't find a satisfactory answer on either these discussion groups or through an web search. I have a home network with 3 sub nets. The reason I have 3 subnets is because each subnet is wired with wireless routers making the link between the wired networks. I'd prefer to keep it that way and not have to drill a hole through the floors... The...
