Does anyone know how to get the Toshiba ConfigFree Icon to show on the Notification Bar on a Toshiba Satellite with Windows Vista installed?

First, I'm not sure if this is the best forum for this question, so if it is not, please advise. I have a general question re network settings under Vista Home Premium. On occasion, during busy times of the day, my cable modem will indicate that the connection is lost. If I manually unplug the power cable to the cable modem and router, wait until 15 or so seconds, and reconnect the cables,...

How can I turn on "allow incoming echo request "on Vista so I can ping it from another machine? Thanks.

I have (had?) two computers with similar names on my wireless network. The home is using XP & this one is the Vista Home premium which I renamed. How do I remove the old name from the network? Since having the old name still there doesn't solve the problem. Thanks for any help. -Gordon-

One of my friends has a media sharing problem with an XP Home (sp3) MCE 2005, WMP 11 desktop. I've tried to help him by setting up consistent user accounts (passworded) but it doesn't seem to solve the problem. In a nutshell, his network shows his desktop as both a computer and a media device and it seems he has more shares than I think is wise -- he has disks, folders, files, all marked...

I have a dial-up networking connection already set up on my Windows Vista Home Basic machine, which is equipped with Service Pack 1. Yet, when I log on as one particular user, and then click Start Connect To, my dial-up networking connection does not appear, and the "Connect to a network" window says "Windows can't find any networks" when I am not connected, or "Windows cannot find any...

Hi two separate, but inter-related stories. 1. A few months ago we had a visitor stay from Europe (I am in Perth, Australia) so I decided to 'hide' my files (kept on a separate D drive) so that IF he wanted to use my PC he wouldn't see them. 2. Almost at the same time I decided to partition my C drive into 2 separate drives (creating a drive I named "W", and installed Windows 7 onto W.

We're doing a project on "REAL TIME VIRTUAL CLASSROOM" using VLC plug-in in Microsoft Visual Studio '08. We tried streaming b/w two pcs, one running "Windows XP SP3" and another "Windows Vista Home Premium - 32 bit os", it worked. But when tried on two pcs running on "Windows Vista Enterprise - 32 bit os", only audio was getting streamed, video didn't get stream, only a BLACK window came. Pcs...

I recently formatted a network drive that I have, as I was changing the way I store stuff on my network drives. However when I re-connected the drive I realised I had not disconnected it first. As a result of this I cannot remap the network drive to the computer. Everytime I try I get the message. ' The network folder specified is currently mapped using a different user name and password. To...

ok the exact problem is the affected comp can't connect to the internet either plugged into the router (how I want it to be) or if I try installing one of the USB Wireless Adapters (netgear WG111v2) that the other 3 computers in the house use, which all are getting the wireless signal from the router no problem, on one right now. I have the problem comp (will be just comp from here out) currently...

I need to sync a significant amount (150GB) of data betweeen a laptop and a desktop. My intention is to set the files up as "available offline". I understant the fact that there will be a duplicate copy on the laptop. Is there a way to force the laptop's copy to be stored in a particular location? I know it's there, but I don't know where it is.

Some time ago -- back when WinXP SP2 came out -- I had to reconfigure the machines on my LAN to allow for remote access to their admin shares. By "remote" I mean "from a different computer in the same subnet", not from the wilds of the internet :). I did this by enabling or disabling something in group policy. But I've lost my notes, and I don't remember how to do it anymore...which is a problem...

On the vista machine both computers can be access but when I try to access them from my windows 98 computer it says not accessible or takes a long time and stops responding

I am having difficulty connecting to the wireless network that my apartment building provides. I just purchased a new computer with Windows Vista. On my old computer, which had Windows XP, I had no problems. All XP required of me was to enter the password that my landlord provided to me in order to access the secured wireless network. However, now that I have Vista, I try to connect and it...

I have a remote user that at the time I built his Vista 32 Business laptop did not need to part of the domain as he was rarely if ever going to be on our local LAN. Everything was installed with the laptop being in a workgroup instead of domain. Now we are using Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 which from what I can tell requires machines to be part of the domain. We have a Cisco ASA 5510 which we...

The Sharing and Discovery section in the Network & Sharing Center is missing. Page is blank under the section showing computer and Internet; unable to connect to any networks, including the Internet. Could this be from a virus or spyware. Is there a setting in the registry that got turned off? Need help resolving this issue. Thank you in advance!!!
