My desktop is a Win7 Ultimate system and laptop is Vista Ultimate. I've tired setting all the permissions for accessing certain drives on my Desktop (and laptop) but can't seem to access anything except the the usual Publich folders. At first, I was able to access an external, USB 1.5 TB drive, but as soon as I formatted from a FAT32 filesystem to NTFS, I could no longer access it--get an...

Have a small network consisting of one Win XP Media Center Ed. and one Vista home premium (and an Internet router). The Vista crashed and was restored to factory and apps reinstalled, etc. Each computer has dedicated IP address, and each runs a version of Norton Internet Security. They are in the same workgroup. Prior to the Vista problem, all was generall well. Now, the XP seems to...

When Vista's desktop appears, I can't connect to the internet for about 4 minutes. If I click on IE or Outlook Express, these applications don't appear on the desktop. Also, the Avast anti-virus icon in the system tray says: "you're not fully protected". After about 4 minutes of this idleness, the system shudders in to life, and I can then use IE & Outlook Express and connect to the...

You'll probably think I shouldn't complain about this, because my Dell Vosto laptop connects perfectly via my Netgear router. But the icon in the System Tray has a red cross through it, and the message it displays is: Connection Status Unknown: The Dependency Service or Group Failed to Start. I use Trend Micro Internet Security for anti-virus and firewall, so tried turning them off. Still no...

Hi, Click on a Web link and get a page not found error (in IE or Firefox). Click retry/reload and it usually goes through. System log shows multiple copies of this message, "Your computer was successfully assigned an address from the network, and it can now connect to other computers" although it is asigned an IP by a Windows server on the LAN with a long expiration. Known issue? Any fixes? --

Hi I was running the Cisco VPN version 5.0.00.0090 happily (as administrator) until I did a windows update yesterday. Now the VPN connection gives me a 442 error (Failed to enable virtual adapter). I have added the UseLegacyIKEPort=0 line to my profile, but it still errors. Any ideas?

Ok guys, to start things off I recently moved so I had to change from using a wired connection to a wireless connection. I bought a Netgear Wireless - N Router (WNR2000) and a Wireless-N 300 USB adapter. I'm running vista home premium x64 SP2. Everytime I diagnose the problem, it gives me the "there may be a problem with your DNS configuration" or the "cannot communicate with primary dns...

I am trying to share several file structures across two PC's in the same workgroup through my Linksys wireless router. I have shared the files on the source computer. When I go the Network window. I can see the source computer as a resource, but when I try to log in, I keep getting the following error message. "Logon Unsuccessful: Windows is unable to log you on. Be sure that your user...

I realize this is a Vista group, but I can't seem to locate any MS Win7 group with my NG reader (TB). On my Win7 machine (Win7 Home Premium)I have marked several folders as being shared, and they remain shared at all times, but there is absolutely NO indication of the folder being shared when viewed in Explorer on that computer. In previous versions of the OS there has been the 'palm-up...

Hi I'm having problems with Windows Sync working with Offline Files. The following are symptoms that I'm seeing.
