    - What does "Target" mean when network browsing? Hi All, Sometimes when I am at a customer site, I will use Windows Explorer to find various network shares. Occasionally, after clicking on the root of share, I will get an icon titled "Target". If I click on it, the share opens as normal -- no harm no foul. It doesn't hurt anything. I have had this happen on both Windows Servers and Linux Samba servers. Any idea what this benign "Target" is? I am just real curious. Many thanks, -T Tag: Having to replace workgroup names Tag: 287100

    - need wpa2 bridge recommendations Hi All, I am trying to connect a computer with an Ethernet port and no spare PCI slots to a small WPA2 protected wireless network. Does anyone have recommendation for a wireless bridge that supports WPA2? I had been using USR products, but had to stop using any of their products do to a hardware design defect in their eeproms circuits that kept them from saving changes. I also looked at the Linksys WET54G but no WPA2 (only wpa1). I found a ZyXel G-570S but have no experience with their reliability. Anyway, I thought it was time to ask for help.

    - Can't see files from limited accounts on home network I have two computers, one running Windows XP Pro SP2 and the other Windows XP Home SP2. Each computer has user accounts named "Primary" and "Kids". The Primary accounts are administrator access and the Kids accounts are limited. The computers are set up on a basic home network, with simple file sharing enabled, and selected folders set to be shared on the network. I can access all shared folders and files from anywhere on the network, except for the files under the limited Kids user accounts. When I try to access those from anywhere, I get an "Access is Denied" message. I've read everything I can find and gone through all sorts of troubleshooting scenarios but I can't figure it out. Can anyone help? Tag: Having to replace workgroup names Tag: 287097

    - Downloads just stops Hi, I have a problem that occurs every time I try to download a (installer) program over the Internet. E.g. I tried to download/install acrobat reader and Google sketch with the same behaviour. I chose to download the program and after a second a dialog appears where I press the "run" button to start the installer and the file(s) download is starting. I can se how the download proceeds sometimes I manage to download 3% and sometimes 11%. First I thought that it was the firewall. I turned it off and even uninstalled it => no change. Then I tought it was the wifi network so I use cable => no luck. I did manage to download Opera browser when I chosed a FTP site instead of HTP (I could chose a download site in a scroll menu and I used one beginning with FTP instead of HTP) I thoought that it was IE7 but I have the same problem in Opera, I cant install Sketch Up from Opera either!! I have run Windows Update so I should have the latest patches etc... What could be the problem? /di98mase Tag: Having to replace workgroup names Tag: 287088

By default this is set up to listen on the local subnet only. As you can see, the NetBIOS ports (137-139) are only listening on the local subnet, which is fine, but the SMB port, 445, is listening on the 0.0.0.0 subnet, which is not desirable. I, eventually, after buggering about for far too long, just changed the scope for port 445 in the firewall to "All networks" (or whatever it is) which now lets me in via SMB. For obvious security reasons I would prefer to change the listening app to listen on the local subnet ONLY. I'm currently using a wireless adapter, so I'm not overly happy with all and sundry being able to access 445. Of course, the WiFi connection is encrypted with WPA2/AES and is behind a router firewall, but still... sometimes it isn't as I move around. Googled, but no help. TIA, Ken.

    - HP printer is wireless, what can it do? The small network here has a wired Linksys router, two PC's (Win-XP-pro), one wired print server (for a laser printer w/parallel port), and an HP7410 printer (with a network interface card) that is connected by cable to the local ethernet/LAN. This HP also has a "wireless" capability, a small blue icon stays lighted on front. Would greatly appreciate some insights for these (obviously) elementary questions... a) Is the wireless feature primarily ONLY for, let's say, a laptop to print wirelessly to this HP Printer, or just to clean up wires in the office? b) Is it true it can't be BOTH connected by wire and at the same time have wireless capability? That is... since it's connected by cable (presumably the HP's wireless is presently disabled), then is it true that I'd need to first DISCONNECT it from cable, then re-configure for 'wireless' by filling in the wireless settings on HP... which would mean now ONLY the laptop can connect and the PC's can't (unless I added a wireless-access-point (WAP) to the router, so ALL PC's could sent thru wireless into the printer, right?) c) Is it true this wireless HP device only really "receives" signals (things to be printed), or is it possible (or worse, "certain") that it could be used for someone outside home to "get into" my entire network (far beyond just printing)? Is this likely? (Right now, I assume wireless is disabled...but if it isn't, I noticed some settings that said "open" "no security/authentication". But it also said "Connected: No". d) Can the HP printer act as a (and be my) WAP and eliminate the need for me to buy a separate WAP? Is this commonly done? Any advantages/disadvantages? e) Is it true that the wired connection now in use (HP is plugged into router) would almost for certain be the fastest, and that if I re-configured everything to use the HP printer's 801.11b wireless connection along with a (newly installed) 801.11 b/g WAP...the connection would likely or for sure be noticeably slower? f) Any way to keep the fast wired-connection to the HP printer, yet at same time allow it to 'accept' a wireless signal from a laptop, so that laptop can print (thru the air so to speak) to the printer? (Sort of best of both worlds... fast wired connection for desktop PC's, plus convenience of wireless for laptop remote printing) g) anything else I'm missing here, that I should know about regarding wireless printing, networks, etc. Thanks, greatly appreciatd, George Tag: Having to replace workgroup names Tag: 287069

    - Cannot see wireless machines I have a small network with a Vista Ultimate machine plus a few XP Pro SP2 machines that are all connected to a router that has wireless and wired access. In all cases, I can see the wired machines from all machines, even from those connected via wireless. I cannot see the wireless machines from anywhere. My guess was that a software firewall was blocking access over that connection, but I turned everything off and it had no effect. Even thou I cannot see a wireless machine from a wired machine. I can ping its ip address. Any suggestions? Thanks Tag: Having to replace workgroup names Tag: 287061

    - basic need-to-know on buying/setting-up wireless Hello, Am using WinXP-pro on 2 PC's (want to do remote access later, too), got one wired-router, 2-PC's, in small 3-story house, in suburbs, not much traffic here. Trying to set up very basic wireless access (for future laptop, and small Wii in house), without spending lots of time or becoming expert, would greatly appreciate some advice in these below general areas, thanks... 1) WAP or Wireless Router? Already have a Linksys VPN router (works great, already set up, although don't use the VPN part yet). Looks like wireless access points (WAP's, $69) are MORE expensive than entirely new wireless router (sale $43). -Can/should I get the wireless ROUTER and just use it like a WAP... i.e. just use it for wireless access and skip all the router stuff. Can I do that? Is it easy to set up (just wireless, no router)? -Would I HAVE to throw out existing router and start over? -Is there some great benefit to paying extra and getting just the WAP (no built-in router) and attaching it to my router? 2) Which device? Looks like the Linksys WRT54G is good all around. It handles wireless-B too. -Is there any GREAT reason to pay much more (~$70) and get speed booster for 35% more speed. -At $43, seems I could always get a few years out of it and start over later if speed is a real issue, besides better deals/standards likely on market by then anyway, right? 3) Security... -How secure are these local wireless networks? Everyone says set up a password. Are there some basic things everybody sets up to be very secure? -Is the biggest risk a neighbor or drive-by connection? Is that really hard, or really easy? So what if they use my always-on connection, flat fee. -Or is the risk of an unauthorize sign-on that they could browse files and/or remote-control and damage my PC (a big deal). 4) Anything else in the really need to know or do category? Thanks for any basic suggestions, insights, advice, George Tag: Having to replace workgroup names Tag: 287060

    - MTU Problem Check this one out, hopefully someone has some ideas on this... I have a bunch of XP Pro machines in one office where I had to lower the MTU setting to 1362 to allow traffic to work across a hardware VPN to the main office. The correct MTU size was determined by finding the max size packet that worked and then subtracting 10 (so in this case, 1372 was the largest size packet that would work). Anyway, this was working fine for all of the computers for months. All of a sudden, one computer quit working and it is displaying a very strange behavior... With the 1362 MTU size set, all of a sudden the largest packet that would go through from this PC only was 1334, so I lowered the MTU down to 1324. Reboot, and then the largest packet that would go through is 1282, so I lowered the MTU to 1272 and rebooted. This goes on and on -- you enable the correct setting, reboot, and then you have to go lower again. It literally never ends. I think that the registry has been tampered with as someone had set the TCP Receive Window setting to 1100. I tried setting it back to 64512, and even reset TCP/IP back to defaults with the guided help from this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/299357 After resetting TCP/IP, the TCP Receive Window setting is fine, but I still am running into the same MTU issue. I do believe it is something whacked with this particular machine. Has anyone seen this before or have any ideas? Thanks, Chris Tag: Having to replace workgroup names Tag: 287055

    - File sharing I know this topic has come up repeatedly and I have tried almost everything in every article and I am stumped. Please throw some suggestions. I have three computers running windows xp pro. Computer A is the problem. Computers B and C seem to be okay. Heres what happens. B and C can see each other and do file sharing. B and C can see A, but they both get accessiblity error messages when they try to browse A. Computer A can see and read and write to B and C. Computer A has two printers that are shared, but B and C can't access them (they don't show up when I try to add a network printer) All computers are running simple file sharing behind a broadband router so they all have private IP addresses. I have tried with the windows firewall on and off. No other firewall software is being used. I have CA antivirus and antispam running, but I have uninstalled and tried. All three shared computers have simple names like "chris" or "desktop" This all used to work and that it stopped, but I'm not sure when because I don't often print or file share from computer's B and C. I have also connected other computers that I am troubleshooting for people and they also can't access computer A, but they can always see it in the workgroup computer list. If you reply to my email remove the word "block", but I would prefer you reply here. Thanks in advance. Tag: Having to replace workgroup names Tag: 287054

    - Disappearing server shares on specific XP/Office2007 client I'm running a Windows 2000 server SP4 with all the latest fixes. This server is sharing files and printers. The clients are all Windows XP Professional SP2 (dutch language) with the applicable patches installed. The problem seems to specifically haunt laptop computers that also have the new Office 2007 (also patched to Microsoft standards) installed. The clients log in, and have normal access to all the shares on the servers. The server keeps it's shares up and running (none of the clients with desktops or even laptops with no Office 2007 installed have the issue to my knowledge), but atleast two machines somehow 'loose' the ability to review shares on the server. I do have a few more machines with the XP/Office 2007 configuration I have not heard any problems from, but then again, that might just be a matter of time. Opening the UNC path to the server yields just one or two shared folders, and the contents of these folders are usually empty. Accessing a missing share or printer through the UNC path directly gives the notification that the share cannot be found of contacted. All the printers and the rest of the shares are just gone on the workstation. Going to a different workstation shows the shares and printers to be available, so it can't be a problem on the server-side. This is further staved by the fact that as the Windows XP client that has the issue reboots, all the shares and printers are back up as normal again, as if they never were gone to begin with. It's quite annoying because it removes the ability of the user to access network items, aswell as utilize network printers. I'm a bit at a loss as to what may be causing this, and thus would like to submit this thread to see if anyone could toss up some idea's of what might be going on.

    - IMPOSSIBLE Networking with XP I've got three computers hooked up to a network: First, a WinXP and a Win2000 computer both connected to the router via wired LAN. Then there's also a WinXP laptop connected via WiFi. I'm using a Linksys wireless router WRT150N. Internet access for all machines is fast and flawless. But file transfers are impossible between any of the machines, regardless of file size. I can do a directory view of any networked files, which usually gets me a few seconds delay and an hourglass, but any attempt at any file transfer gets me an hourglass that won't go away ever. Sometimes on the XP machines I'll see a frustrating crash of Windows Explorer (Win2000 never crashes, by God!). This occurs even when all firewalls are disabled. Each machine can ping the other. I don't have a clue as to what is going on here. I can browse other networked computer's files, but I can't access the files. I'm at my wits end. ANY help or debug ideas would be lovely. Thanks for taking the time. AAAHHH!!! Tag: Having to replace workgroup names Tag: 287044

    - Do I need NETBIOS and the LMHOSTS file? I've got a home network, a WinXP and a Win2000 computer connected via wired LAN, and a WinXP laptop connected via WiFi. I'm using a Linksys WRT150N router. All I need are internet access for all computers (I'm using Comcast), and file/printer sharing between all computers. For all computers, in my Advanced TCP/IP Settings, do I need to have Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP? Or should it be disabled? Or use the Default option of Use NetBIOS setting from the DHCP server? Also, do I need to Enable LMHOSTS lookup? Thanks!!! Tag: Having to replace workgroup names Tag: 287036

    - What hardware do I need for this netork? Hi, We will have 10 XP Home PCs and a network printer at work. Currently, we just have a 6 port switch where 5 PCs connect to one that acts as the gateway for the internet and the printer. The broadband is BT Business ADSL. What I want to do is have a wireless router so our 2 laptops can connect as well. Am I right to assume that if I buy an ADSL Wireless 4 port Router, I can connect 3 PCs directly to the router and the other port can be connected to the 6 port switch? I am a bit of a novice when it comes to switches and routers. If you can recommend a plan then that would be fantastic. We want to keep costs down as well which is why we are sticking with XP Home and not getting a server. Thanks for your attention and any advice you can give me.

    - brief IP address question (quiz?) Hello, An using an Win XP-pro computer and was looking at some internet connection things. Could I get a few opinions on IP addresses in general, particularly the last set of digits... BACKGROUND PC I did c:\ipconfig, and it brings something back like... IP Address 190.188.1.400 Default gateway 190.188.1.4 ROUTER The router has some settings where it has a fill-in box (default=0) to allow you to ONLY fill in the last 2 digits, like this 190.188.1.4 [ 0 ] (it has a default of 0) QUESTIONS OK so questions are... Is the router IP address of 190.188.1.4 the same as 190.188.1.40? _________ the same as 190.188.1.400? _________ the same as 190.188.1.004? _________ And, when the "ipconfi" brings back 190.188.1.400, is that the same as 190.188.1.40? _________ the same as 190.188.1.4? _________ the same as 190.188.1.004? _________ And, is the default gateways always the same (or a variation of ) the OP address, i.e. is the default gateway of 190.188.1.4 the same as 190.188.1.400? ___ (if so, why don't they put the 2 zero's here too?) ____ Thanks, George Tag: Having to replace workgroup names Tag: 287003

    - Protecting shared files on XP SP2 home Well, I know it *supposedly* can't be done with a password, but I've heard of ways to do it and I was wondering if anyone could give me some ideas. Basically, there's one computer I want to be able to access the files. It's OS X Tiger, and will always have the same IP address. All other computers When I mount a share, it asks for a password, but, like I believe all XP systems are, any password will open the files. So I just need anything to keep access to that one computer. I've heard about setting a password on the guest account, but that doesn't seem possible. Also tried making a rule on my router's firewall, but that didn't work. Is there any way to set up the Windows Firewall for this? Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks, frosty Tag: Having to replace workgroup names Tag: 286996

We want one of the other PC's to run TAS Books as well so that 2 people can work on the program at the same time. Will it be easier to buy a server? Would i need to install Windows server 2003?

    - Access same file on 2 XP home PCs? My basic setup is - XP home, contains Word document XP home On my second XP box, without the Word document, please can you tell me how I can view/edit the document on the first box? The machines are in the same room. Machine 1 has two ethernet connections on the mobo, one is used for the internet, the other is free. Machine 2 will have a USB ethernet adapter device installed soon. Using my very limited understanding about networks, I'm thinking along the lines of some kind of simple ethernet cable running between the two machines, but I've heard that XP Pro has all the networking type stuff and perhaps as I have XP Home only, I may be out of luck? Thanks a lot for any advice, best regards from Robert. Tag: Having to replace workgroup names Tag: 286980

    - half bandwidth I've updated my adsl from 2Mb/s to 12Mb/s. Since that I'm experiencing some problems. I have in fact +- 1250KB/s bandwidth, tested in other PC's in the network, but on the my main PC, the Win XP only can deal with 700KB/s tested with one connection. If I use two or more silmultaneous connctions to the same file I achieve the total bandwidth. In this Pc I have also Linux installed so I tested with it and I have the total but not in Win XP. I tried without firewall and same result. I tried all I know and I am sure that all the hardware are allright, my feeling is there is something in Win which is causing the bandwidth crisis but I don't know what is it.

    - Network Connections dialogue box When my broadband wasn't working, I used dialup (as you do), and since broadband 's been repaired, I keep getting a 'Network Connections' window popping up when I visit certain sites - only in Firefox, strangely, asking me which dialup connection I want to connect to. The whole web grinds to a halt unless I click cancel or the red cross. I've been through every possibility I can think of in the 'Options' part of Firefox and in the 'Network Connections' set up, but the little window just will not quit turning up. It's not affecting the speed of the connection, but is just irritating. Anyone any ideas? Tag: Having to replace workgroup names Tag: 286973

    - Offline Folders sometimes work I have got a very sophisticated probleme with offline folders. I use offline folders assigned manually. If I assign folders from the folders tree root, everything is working, but if i want to exclude some subfolders, the wohole thing is getting weird. Other files created in totally different subfolders werenÂ´t added to the offline folders anymore, even if the folder is manually added to the offline files. Only adding the new file itself manually does work. But is useless to say that my collegues and me are adding a lots of files during the whole day, and i canÂ´t say which of them i should add and which schouldnÂ´t add. Can someone solve this heritage problem?? Tag: Having to replace workgroup names Tag: 286972

    - Printer/File Sharing No Longer Working I work in a small office. We have three computers (two desktop and one laptop, all using Windows XP). Due to the layout of the office, the printers are both connected to one desktop. We can all connect to the internet with no problems, but as of Wednesday we are no longer able to connect to the other computers (shared files, printer, etc). I have run the network set up wizard multiple times on each computer, trying to get it to work, but without success. The computers are able to ping each other, and I have confirmed that they all have the same network name. File and printer sharing IS enabled. We can each connect to the internet with no problems (secure network), but they no longer wish to speak to each other. This is NOT the first time this has happened, but I was able to get things to work properly before. Now, for whatever reason, I can't. Any ideas or suggestions on what I can do to correct this?

    - Help with new network I would like to set up a small business network. I am looking for some advice, should i purchase four great computers and XP Pro, or get a server with XP pro on the computers. Right now I am peer to peer with Xp home and older computers, it is starting to become an issue. Also I presume I would be better off wired since the lines are already there? I would like to move in the future though so wireless may be nice. Any advice would be appreciated. -- Tony Brown Tag: Having to replace workgroup names Tag: 286949

More details please.

Do you mean the two customers sites have the PCs "linked" together on
a common "network?"
