Can't connect to a PC (Windows XP SP2) from my MacBooc (OSX)

Hi!
Here are the details:
The PC
1. Windows XP SP2. SAV, Zone Alarm.
2. GUEST account disabled.
3. The Admin account (renamed) with a password
MacBook (Mac OS X)
All the settings are the standard ones. Nothing changed.
The PROBLEM
I cannot connect the PC (Win XP SP2) from my MacBook. I can perfectly use some ftp client; the MS Remote desktop, but if I try to connect the PC from (say) the finder (apple-K) I allways get the same "username or password is not correct" message, whatever I do... I never set a password for this connection. Nowhere!
Please, advise me how to connect the PC from my MacBook.
Thanks a lot!

OK,
Now we have something to work with.
On the PC:
Determine Workgroup name:
RightClick MyComputer, LeftClick Properties. Look under ComputerName tab, make note of WorkGroup name.
On the mac:
Applications>Utilities>DirectoryAccess...Unlock, tick SMB/CIFS, then click Configure...
Enter the WorkGroupName that you got from the PC...in teh Workgroup box on Mac.
Apply, OK, or whatever...approve it all.
Restart both machines again. Sorry, it's a Windows habit.
(We're probably going to ask you to disable SAV, and make sure that ZoneAlarm has the local network as 'approved' or something. It's been three yrs since I used ZA)...does your SAV have a firewall, too? Bad idea to run two firewalls, but let's move along with that workgroup business up there.

Can't connect you the X11 window server

Hi all!
I am having problems eom to show reports in the BEA with Crystal Reports.
I use BEA WEBLOGIC PLATAFORM 8,1 for Linux with Crystal Reports XI.
I configured server BEA to initiate as a service in my Linux SUSE, and therefore I do not use myself in the graphical way.
However when I try to visualize some report of crystal JSP page, I receive the following error:
<code>
Can't connect you the X11 window server using ':0.0 ' the value of the variable DISPLAY
</code>
With the reports me this error only occurs, therefore I have you vary webservices and paginas that function perfectly.
Already I read some topics of the forum related with this problem, but no similar to mine or that it decided my problem
Somebody could help me?
Obs:I am brasilian and my English no is good!
Sorry!

Hi Vitor,
May be this will help
1) Setting the DISPLAY variable using script or in cell by issuing,
setenv DISPLAY=<machine name>:0.0
or
export DISPLAY=<machine name>:0.0
where <machine name> is the IP or name of the machine that has a graphics server process running, like X11.
If you migrate your aplication to a different server, maybe the fonts put on the /fonts directory won't work fine...
Sample:
setenv DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 export DISPLAY
results in setting this variable for only that script process or for the cell with the local scope.
Use the xhost + command to make this variable to global scope with above.
The link has many workarounds

Thanks for replying. The plan you have it would be an additional charge to add the hotspot feature. It's not free with the Nationwide plan. You would need to add the feature online at www.verizonwireless.com/myverizon

IP routing doesn't work the way many folks might initially think it does; functional IP routing requires manual configuration and the establishment of static routes and default routes specific to the local network configurations, and it's very easy to get it wrong, or to get the default route swapped. Multiple NIC boxes don't magically work, either. (Been there, done that, wondered what happened to my network when the paths got reordered or my route settings were messed up, etc.)
Routing configuration errors can be quite subtle, too. (Again, voice of experience. Ever had a thousand-seat office LAN accidentally routing through your desktop? As the, um, unnamed guilty party discovered, getting into that configuration was subtle. Seeing the performance crater on the fellow's box and on the LAN was obvious.)
Knowing how IP routing works is a prerequisite to getting this configuration to work; there's manual configuration required. Clearly something has gone weird here.
What to do? Read up on IP routing. I'll again suggest the threads and the manual mentioned earlier.
And in general, I prefer to avoid using my comparatively expensive Mac boxes as sub-optimal IP routers or as firewall boxes. General-purpose operating systems and generic x86 boxes are going to be inherently poor IP routers. Dedicated routers (or embedded or surplus x86 boxes with routing software loaded) offload the Mac boxes here, and are also typically easier to configure manage. And "real" IP routers can have hardware specific to efficiently routing packets. Use of an outboard firewall or firewall-router box also greatly simplifies gateway routing, too; it's a configuration that many folks and many businesses tend to use.

Some of my Apps don't connect to the internet. For example, NY Times Web App, says it can't connect. But when I access it from Safari it does. I have a number of Apps like this. I've removed and reinstalled and it doesn't help. Please help!

Some of my Apps don't connect to the internet. For example, NY Times Web App, says it can't connect. But when I access it from Safari it does (it is a web site and the App just accesses it form the desktop of the IPAD). I have a number of Apps like this. I've removed and reinstalled and it doesn't help. Please help!
Thank you.

On the wireless networks that your Mac has had trouble connecting to, do you know which Wireless Security type (WEP, WPA, or WPA2) is being used?
If it is WEP, one of the problems is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP. In order to make things easier, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling the use of simple easy to remember WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys. The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently on a non-Apple client and vice versa.

Hello all,
I installed Windows 8.1 Pro without any problems. However, I saw that I can't connect to the internet, because there are no connections being displayed. How would I fix this? What drivers would I need to install? I purchased my MacBook Pro with Retina Display o November 5, 2012.

How did you install windows? Boot camp assistant would have downloaded and installed drivers for you.
Download and install these

Can't connect to internet on Windows partition

Since last week I can't connect to the Internet with Windows XP partition and BootCamp. I use DSL RCA Broadband to connect directly. I received message "No viable connection or impossible to connect"
I call my IP provider a couple of times without result. They said signal is good but I can't get a IP address.
Any ideas?
Best regards

Problem coming from Windows XP after Windows XP erased and reboot on an other partition. Problem is resolved.

Now, how i can do in order to solve this problem.
Thanks!

Hi,
Take a look at the admin guide (Page 75, 119, 159):
[http://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700000150922010E.zip]
If you installed a firewall on the license service computer, make sure that the firewall is not set to port 30000; otherwise, the license service cannot work.
If you are using Port X, make sure that you open Port X and Port (X+1) in the firewall. For example, if you are using port 10000, make sure to also open port 10001.
The default communication port is 1143.
The default port of the SAP Business One license server is 30000 for license communication and 30001 for the license naming service

Can't connect external monitor to Windows 7 bootcamp Macbook Pro 15 - ATI 6770

I recently puchased a Macbook pro 15 in 2012. I have bootcamp set up and am running windows 7 home on the bootcamp partition. When in windows I am unable to use an external monitor or overhead projector. I have updated all of the ATI drivers and have fiddled with screen resolutions and display refresh rates to no avail. I am using a cheapo mini displayport to VGA adapter which I have confirmed works while I am using the mac side of the machine.
Unfortunately I have to use windows while at work and using a projector to display data is essential.
I am out of ideas at this point -- Help - - Please!!

I was hoping some of the multi/monitor people would show up and help you but I guess they missed it.
Have you gone into the Properties of the video drivers (via the Device Manager) and let it Update Driver either through the internet or migrate to the newer Boot Camp video drivers you recently downloaded?
The only other thing I can suggest is to completely delete the video drivers then reinstall them manually either through the Programs and Features control panel or in the Device Manager/ Video drivers and see if it "takes".
Don't forget you do have an Apple Software Updater in Windows also. It updates the Windows support software from Apple. (Boot Camp)
Sorry I can't help more........

7410 All-in-1 "Can't Connect To Ntwk" when install post-moving from home ofc to work ofc wireless

Hi. I've had this 7410 printer a few years now (hand me down from family member). It has worked fine in my home (wireless router) the whole time.
Recently, I moved it to the work office (across town) and have spent TWO nights (4 hrs each night) AFTER WORK to try and get it to correctly set-up. It has never been this difficult with all the moves I've had from apartment to apartment and now to my home. This shouldn't be any different, right?!
This is where I'm stuck:
Setup Menu >> Network >> Wireless Setup Wizard ....yes, it finds the office network... I select it.... then, I enter the WEP key.... correctly have done it 30 times (spelled it correctly, caps sensitive, etc)... hit Done, and the answer after its search is "can not connect to network".
I've read on HP's website and my manual (over and over and over) how to self-correct it... that is why I'm here now!
Things I've done:
Setup Menu >> Network>> View Network Settings >>> Print Network Configuration Page.... it comes up with the IP, subnet and default gateway as 0.0.0.0
Setup Menu >> Network>> Restore Network Defaults.... no change in outcome
Unplugged and replugged printer.... no change in outcome
Unplugged and replugged modem and router (with the 30+ sec recommended wait before replug).... no change in outcome
I have checked the network strength via my personal laptop, my work laptop, my mobile devices... all say it is present and excellent.... yet not able to connect printer to it
I have checked the network via my work laptop, to see what is accessing it (can you overload a network?)... but it only has 6 items connected at this time (evening when no one here but me...2 printers already and 4 computers), which is even less than daytime access when we have all co-workers plugged into it also (healthcare facility... but still, always just 2 printers... THIS printer would be the 3rd)
Now, I ask you what is my next step?
PLEASE help soon, I need this printer to be up and working to help alleviate some office flow issues!!
I cannot keep spending my evenings reading all these bulletin posts, self-help FAQ's on the HP site without any good outcome for my scenario!!! I have other paperwork to be doing and this is keeping me from getting it done!
Thank you in advance!

Hello edPT2001.
Please, download and run the HP Print and Scan doctor from http://www.hp.com/go/tools
With this tool, you can see what channel is being used by the wireless router you're trying to connect your printer.
Run the tool and after the initial search for HP products, you might be able to go to Help menu - Show advanced info and then click the button Show wireless info. You will see a list of wireless networks detected by your computer and if you scroll to the right, you might be able to see the channel being used by the network. Find the network you're trying to connect your printer and let me know the channel number.
Cheers!!
