How to access files from two computers on a network, one wired and one wireless?

I cannot seem to access one computer from the other.  I have marked files for sharing, and both show the same work group.  How do I make sure both computers are installed on the router?

Make sure that both computers can access the Internet through the router.
If your router has a setting for "AP isolation", verify that it is set to "disabled".
As long as you do the two things mentioned above, your router does not put up any barrier to file sharing.   So then the problem is not a router problem, it is a Windows problem, or a firewall problem.
To check for firewall problem, first, make sure you can ping each computer from the other - if you cannot, then temporarily turn off your software firewall, including Windows Firewall, and see if that helps.
If you still have problems after the firewall is off, then your problem is likely a Windows problem.   Make sure "file and printer sharing" is enabled on all your wireless adapters and ethernet cards.   If you continue to have problems, then usually the Windows support website has the best info on how to further proceed with fixing this type of problem.
Hope this helps.

  • How to access files between two Macs via Firewire cable?

    I would like to access and copy some files from my PowerMac to my Mac mini. I am using a Firewire cable to connect the two computers, and I get the Firewire symbol floating around on my monitor, but nothing beyond that, and I don't know what the next step is to get to the desktop. Help?
    (I also posted this question as part of an already "answered" post by another user... sorry for posting this twice.)

    Hi BDAqua,
    Sorry I dropped this thread last month; I would still love to figure this out, but haven't had time to deal with it since then. (In the meantime, I copied the files from the old computer - G3 - to CDs, in order to access them on the computer I use now - Mini/OS Tiger.) Anyway, so I'm writing to say thanks, and hopefully I will pick this thread up again soon... and hope you'll be around to help at that point.
    (By the way, the floating firewire icon was the only thing that came up on the monitor, and nothing I did brought me to the desktop: no key, click or prayer did anything to move beyond that floating icon. So, I couldn't get an orange FW icon, or any HD icon at all, since there was only the floating icon, and nothing else...)
    Thanks again.

  • How to sync files from two different subscriptions in two different CC desktop folders

    HI,
    I have two CC subscriptions, one for work and one personal. I ran the work subscription in two computers at work and at home (when I need to work from home.) The problem  I find is that there is not two different CC folders for each subscription. When I log out from my work subscription, all my files for that subscription go away. Then when I log in again, they whole syncing process starts all over again. I chose to have two different subscriptions so not to mix my personal work with my work's. Is there a way to have a CC folder on my desktop for each subscription? In this way, when I log out from one account and go to the other the files of the account I just logged out don't get replaced for the files of the account I  just logged in.  Any help with this will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    I just want to let you know what you should be seeing when using 2 accounts.
    Account one:
    1. Log in with Adobe ID for account one
    2. Files sync to Creative Cloud files which is located in your home directory on Mac or Windows.
    3. Log out of account one, Creative Cloud now displays the log in panel.
    Account two:
    1. Log in with Adobe ID for account two
    2. Files sync to account 2's Creative Cloud files which is located in your home directory on Mac or Windows. (Account one's Creative Cloud Files folder is re named)
    Thing to check for are:
    After you logged in to account two, the Creative Cloud folder for account 1 should now be renamed, can you check this please to make sure it has.
    The same is true is you log back in to account one, account two's Creative Cloud folder will be renamed.
    The data should not have to fully re-sync ever time you log out of account 1 and then into account 2, however, can you be sure that the data is actually re downloading. ie; you had 5GB of data in account one and when you log into account 1 the whole 5GB of data is re downloading?, could you check this?
    The Creative Cloud files panel will display "Syncing" for a short while is you switch accounts, this is normal and means the application is reading data on disk and data on the server checking for changes/added files etc. This is not re-downloading all of your data, it is simply checking.
    You are able to move the Creative Cloud files folder to any location on your local hard drive via the Creative Cloud prefs.
    Thanks

  • How to access file from AIX server to windows

    HI all,

    No, it is not. Filename magic alone will not do the job.
    AIX supports NFS (network file system) or you can use samba (implementation of the Microsoft SMB protocol to share resources in Un*x) .

  • How to access files from 2nd hard drive while running Mountain Lion

    Not sure the best way to word this and if there is a forum with and answer already I apologize. I recently Upgraded to an SSD split in 2 partitions one with Windows 8 the other half running mountain lion. I replaced the superdrive with the old hard drive that has Snow Leopard and all my documents. The old SATA HD appears and the file structure is visible but I cannot access any files. I recieve an access denied message. ANy help would be appreciate it. Also secondary issue and less important is due to limited space on the SSD I would like to move the user data to the old HD so it would boot ML from SSD but pull and save all downloads, documents, music etc onto the old SATA HD.

    When you get the drive permissions worked out, and the home directory duped from the SSD to the other HDD, there is a way to tell the OS where the new home directory resides.
    System Preferences > Users & Groups
    Unlock the preference pane. Now right click on your User name ( Admin). The pop-up will say Advanced Options ...
    Home Directory: Choose...  and pick the new HDD home directory location.
    Lock the panel down again.
    Done.

  • Can I access printer from two computers?

    I would like to print wirelessly from my new Windows laptop to the printer which is currently connected by USB cable to my iMac. I tried the Netgear boards first but the response they supplied was Windows-specific.
    The PC is connected wirelessly via a Netgear DG834Gv3 router to AOL (UK) and my Mac is connected wirelessly via an Apple Airport to a different, cable network. Ideally, I''d like both computers to print wirelessly and I was hoping the Netgear router would provide the solution.
    It may be pertinent to add that the Airport is stuck in the room the cable comes in, the iMac and printer are stuck in another room but the Netgear router can go just about anywhere.
    Am I right thinking settings need to be tweaked on the Mac and a cable will connect the printer to the router?

  • Working from two computers

    How do folks work from two computers? I use an MBA on the road and out of the office and an iMac at home. Is there a way to sync my site on both computers? Or to download changes to my site onto the other computer? I haven't seen an obvious method for managing the site and keeping it on both computers.
    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

    Aaron ~ I haven't used Dropbox, but it offers file syncing and gives you 2GB of storage free. The problem is that iWeb's Domain file is a single unit, so that even if you change just one character on your iWeb site, the whole Domain file will be re-synced — not just the changed page.

  • I created a folder from my camera roll and shared with my icloud acct, can't figure out how to access it from my computer?

    I created a folder from my camera roll and shared with my icloud acct, can't figure out how to access it from my computer? I log onto icloud and can't find anywhere where "shared" photos are..

    You need Mountain Lion (10.8.2 or higher) and iPhoto '11 (9.4 or higher) or Aperture 3.4 to get shared photo streams on Mac.
    Another option to transfer them is to either import them to iPhoto using your usb cable, as explained here:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083, or to us an app like PhotoSync to transfer them to your Mac over your wifi.  (PhotoSync will also transfer albums, not just photos from the camera roll.)

    How can I access files from a flash drive that were previously saved using a Windows computer? When I attempt to open the file on MacBook Pro, it is asking to "convert file to"; none of the options I choose work. I also have Microsoft Office (with Word) installed on the Mac as well.

    Format the external drive as FAT32 or ExFAT. Both computers will then be able to read and write to it.
