Hi, I'm having a strange wireless networking problem. I defined a private network in Vista, complete with wireless network connection & key. When I reboot my laptop, it does not auto re-connect to this (only network I have defined), instead it tries to create a new public network (message "Identifying ...(Public Network).." appear in Network and Sharing Centre), with access type of Local Only...

Hi I have 2 machines one with vista home premium and the other with vista ultimate that I need to network to a WIN2000 server. When I try to map the network drive, vista insists on putting the computer name in front of the username, and so I am refused log-on. I have tried set a login credential username/password in vista ultimate (home version wont let me do this). The credential is...

Hello -- Need help on behalf of a friend, please. She has an XP and a Vista 64-bit computer networked by means of a router. Her printer is also connected to a router. She is not particularly computer literate and is sometimes inclined to not pay attention to what she is doing, so strange things happen. Today a message appeared saying that all network drives could not be

Is it possible in Windows7/Vista to automatically dial to a VPN account when an attempt is made to an IP of that network? maybe by static routes or RRAS service?

It has been years, we have been transferring files between our home PCs and Laptops in our home network. But as we updated our Laptop with Vista SP1 & SP2, the network has become a one way only. We can transfer files to the rest of the network PCs, but the Vista Laptop does not let us in. We do see it listed in our network. We had to re-format the laptop drive and as we loaded the Vista...

I have two m/cs running vista business 32 bit, a dell vostro 400 tower and a toshiba satellite pro laptop. The laptop connects to the Dell wirelessley and internet access and file sharing etc all work fine. The tower is the file server and has a canon MP210 and an HP laserjet 1018 connected both via usb. Both printers work fine from the laptop and are set up as shared printers for the network....

I have two HP Pavilion laptops running Vista Home Premium plus a printer on a home wireless network over a Linksys wireless router. The computers can ping each other and can share folders and files. I would like to set up a Windows Meeting Space meeting to enable one computer to watch applications running on the other computer. I've tried using both "existing Internet connection" and "ad hoc...

Hi all; I have a divx reader with hard disk connected by a wireless network to my PC: while I was renaming some folders the network went down and the folders become files, so now are unreadable. Now, when I connect the network drive, in the left column I have 8 folders (instead of the 10 that I had before) and two files of 0kb. Before this problem these two files were two folders containing...

I would like to join a Vista Home Basic machine to an existing domain. When I purchased the desktop from Dell I was told this was possible. Is it possible? If not, there are some applications that call files stored on our servers and since the desktop falls under the workgroup category every morning when I login I have to type in the adminitrator username and password. My Question: Can I...

hello , I have a vista business edition ACER machine. I am trying to setup kerberos so that I can use it for authentication in my JEE (java) application that is running on Glassfish. In my case I will have both the Kerberos client and server on the same machine since I am mainly trying to set up a demo and don't have access to two machines. After figuring out the JAAS infrastructure for...
