Three different computers, running three OSs; Vista Home Premium, XP Pro, and Win7 Pro 64-bit. My Vista laptop used to be connected to a certain Canon printer, and its name in Control Panel/Printers is "Canon iP6700D" and when I click on Properties, and the Share tab, that is also the spelling of the "Share name". If I am trying to network to that Canon printer, which is now hard-cabled to...

I have a network that has XP and Vista on it. If any of the vista machines try and open a file that is already opened on another machine vista hangs until the file has been closed. If an XP machine tries to open a file already open on another machine you see the dialog box "the already open do you want top open as read only". What could be causing this?

With much stumbling, I have been able to configure, via Control Panel, the printer settings on the WinXP desktop to print to the printer that is physically connected via USB cable to the Win7 desktop. When I File/Print and select the appropriate printer name from the dropdown list, the printing is fully successful. Attempting to apply the same steps with the Vista laptop fails. The printer...

First disclaimer... I'me really a network novice. I've used XXCOPY and Robocopy to successfully back up entire volumes to an eSATA connected drive, but when I try to do the same to a newly acquired NAS drive, it doesn't work right. Instead of copying "only" the files that are new (or changed since the last backup), Robocopy copies every file over again. And XXCOPY (free version) won't copy at...

Our Vista laptops (& my Xbox) access our basic Windows Home Server system through a Netgear router. It's all fine, but I want to (easily & quickly!) restrict & control when some laptops can access the internet while allowing free access to the server. (For instance, so children's internet access can be monitored but they can always get to photos & backups, etc. on the server.) What might be...

A "new Vista user" question: I manage some computers for sales reps that connect to our business network 50% of the time, but then take their work on the road with them. With Windows XPSP2, the user could access his "company.com\username" profile, whether he was attached to the network or not. I'm now testing a setup for a sales rep on a new Vista machine that I set up at work - where I...

Hi, Sony Vaio with Vista is connected wirelessly to a HOME network. It can access all other computers. Any one of them can access the Interment. This one does not. At work, this computer CAN access the Internet (while wirelessly connected to the COMPANY network)

I've been pulling my hair out over this one. I suspect it may have had malware infection, ran combofix, TrendMicro Sysclean, reset IPv4, disabled IPv6, reset the Winsock, uninstalled Expired Norton 360, installed Microsoft Security Essentials, tried it with the Firewall on and off, checked the registry for as many Winsock Redirectors and firewalls I could think of. I don't know of anything...

Hi, I have been trying to use the command of 'netstat -a -n -f inet' to generate a report on all network end points not just the ESTABLISHED (-a option) by printing the IP addresses as dotted-decimal numbers(-n option), but only for TCP and UDP end points(-f inet option). But, strangely, the '-f inet' option does not seem to work in linux.

Just this evening my Win7 machine refuses to "see" my Vista machines in the 'Network' dialog. My Vista machine can access all the shared items on the Win7 machine just fine. Previously (before this evening) I was able to open "Network" on the W7 machine and see every one of my computers. Now, all it does is flash the 'green bar' across the top and give me nothing but shared folders on my...
