So here's my problem, I have two pc's an XP and a Vista Home Premium. My XP NEVER has any problems connecting to my router/internet, wired, while my other PC, Vista(which is also wired), works but it will ocassionally give me the "Limited Connectivity" icon and the ONLY way it will work is if I unistall the driver from the Drivers Manager. Sometimes I have to do it 2-3 times for it to work. And...

I have all my movies ripped to an external drive attached to my Vista computer. I connect via Wireless N to my Linksys DMA2200 extender that I have connected HDMI to my Vizio TV. I've made the registry hack to display my movies in the DVD Library. I've downloaded and installed Media Center Links that creates mpeg symbolic links for my movies (VOB files). This works well. Here's how my...

Office 2007 application data folders (including templates, Outlook signatures, etc.), are redirected to the user's network share by GPO settings. This is *not* using Folder Redirection, but by setting User Shell Folders registry keys. Same as our previous XP. Looks like I could of used the Folder Redirection GPO options for better control. But can't look back now! "Randomly", users...

My client is having difficulties sharing files between two computers. The ‘server’ PC is running Vista Ultimate SP1 and the ‘client’ is running Vista Business SP1. Access to files in a subfolder under the built-in Users share seem normal. However, when I setup a new folder directly off the C:\ drive and shared it, files and folders are not reliably accessible from another PC....

www.geekstogo.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=101910 So basically, I get random spikes and lag every 30 to 60 seconds (sometimes even less) on a wireless connection in Vista. Does anyone know how to fix it? Online gaming is almost impossible, especially in WC3 (apparently it's a lag-fest when I host) Apparently, Windows looks for a new access point every 30-60 seconds, thus giving me the...

Alright, that's a little vague. Two shared printers off 2 computers running XP. One notebook running Vista that can print fine to one shared printer but not the other. The one it *can* print to is hardwired to the network, the one in *cannot* isn't. But, that's not the problem. The notebook "sees" the printer share just fine. Just trying to connect or run the setup wizard ultimately leads...

Hi there, I just bought Windows Vista Home Basic to use on a MacBook, and created a partition using a program called BootCamp, which allows the use of Mac OS X as well as Windows XP or Vista. I installed Vista and was excited to use it but then I was unable to connect to the wireless router in my house. I'm not sure why, but the Mac OS X part of my computer is using the internet through the...

I've been looking around, but I can't seems to find a...

I can't get my Vista Ultimate workstation to stay connected to one of our domain controllers. After a boot I can access this Windows Server 2003 R2 DC for about an hour and after that if I click on the DC it tells me I'm not authorized. This DC is on our LAN but I don't have an account on it. I have no problem with Windows XP machine clients accessing and staying connected to this DC with...

When I go into the client computer and see the database file...

I hate to sound stupid, but just where is the Network Setup Wizard in Vista? I have never seen an operating system so complicated as Vista. In XP I go to Network Connections in Control Panel, open it up, and right there on the page is Network Setup Wizard. No such item on my new HP Slimline s7700n computer. I've never had a problem setting up a network in 95, 98, 2000 or XP. Now I have...

I can find printers shared bby XP.

I need a better understanding of how Vista security works. My home network consists of 2 Vista PCs plus various routers, access points etc. One of the Vista PCs is my work notebook, which I move backwards and forwards to work twice a day. At work it belongs to the domain SSK.LOCAL, and I don't want to have the hassle of moving it out of this domain and into a workgroup, and back again, every...

I got a squirelly mangled window in trying to reply to the kind person who answered my question. The answer didn't solve the problem so far as I implemented it (I think I got it right). I set up both machines with identical accounts, passwords, and types on both machines rebooted a couple of times and still got the same error msg. The folder is the C:\users\user_name folder for one of...

Has anyone used the Network Level Authentication between Vista Ultimate and XP? I've checked the "Allow connections only from computers running Remote Desktop with Network Level Authentication (more secure)" checkbox. I then entered the users to connect. Both computers are in a workgroup environment. I also downloaded the Remote Desktop client 6.0 for...
