Computer not shown in Network

I once was able to bring up my Network window (ShiftcommandK) and my G5 would appear and I'd easily be able to connect to a hard drive.
Suddenly, nothing appears in the Network window, not even Servers. File sharing is enabled on both computers. Also, I can see my MacBook from my G5, and I can connect, but it won't let me write any files.
Thanks in advance for the help. I'm using a Netgear WPN824 wireles router if that helps. Also, when using my Macbook, if I hit shiftcommandK, the menu will highlight, but no window opens. I'm guessing that the window just doesn't come up because there are no items in it.
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Try turning off your Firewall to see if it is blocking something. Just remember to turn it back on afterwards.

System not shown in network neighborhood

2 - win8 64 bit systems; system1 & system2
Network discovery & printer sharing "on" on private network on both systems
Shared printer USB connected to system1 and was successfully printing from system2
On system2, the shared printer shows system1 offline. If I open network neighborhood <network> on system1, I can see both systems. When open network neighborhood on system2, I only see system2.
This was working but now does not. Any thoughts. I IPCONFIG both with correct settings, the workgroup names are identical and a ping of
www.yahoo.com comes back clean on both systems.

Hi John,
Make sure you have turned on network discovery:
Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings, and then tap
Change PC settings.
(If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, click
Settings, and then click Change PC settings.)
Tap or click Network, tap or click Connections, and then tap or click your network connection.
Turn on Find devices and content.
If the configuration is correct, try to access another computer by entering
\\computername in the Run box. Let us know if it works properly.

Old computer not working with Network Magic

Hi I am having issues activating my license for Newtwork Magic on one of my home computers the desktop. I am using Network Magic Pro Ver. 5.1.9005.0-Pure 0 There are a total of 3 computers on the network. 2 are Dell Laptops with Home Vista. The third computer is a Dell desktop Precision 330. The desktop is running Windows XP Pro, Ver 2002 SP3, Pentium 4 1800MHZ. I have cable internet, Surfboard modem, a D-link router DIR-655. The desktop has a D-Link DWA-552 XtremeN adapter.
I have installed and un-install Network Magic 4 times but I still recieve the same message and yes i ran a clean disk, manually deleted files and restarted the computer everytime. The message I am receiving is: "The Licensing server could not be contacted. Please make sure you have internet connection and try again."
I am at this time using the desktop to send this message so yes I am connected to the internet but Network Magic is not acknowledging the connection. On my computer, a laptop, Network Magic indicates the desktop is on the network but a alert states that Network Magic is not installed.
Thank you

Basics from the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device. Have you gone through ALL these steps? What exactly HAVE you done to troubleshoot your issue?

Computer not connecting to network after a good nites sleep

My computer will frequently (once every other day) not automatticallly reconnect to my network after waking from sleep in the morning. I have all the security options enabled, tried changing the interference robustness on and off and it seems to make no diff, reduced the network range to reduce interference from the 3 other wlan networks around, and changed the channels around. It didnt do it in my house. I realized that when I put the cpu to sleep at night, I leave iTunes running. Well, in a dorm, there is alot of shared music going. I tried quitting iTunes, putting the computer to sleep, and waking it up and it reconnects every time. when i leave itunes on and repeat the test, I have to connect manually by using the drop down menu (which i hate) and sometimes it will say "error joining network" a few times before connecting. I havent thouroughly tested this, but is it possible that the sharing feature of itunes is somehow interfering w/ the airport connection? Maybe it is looking for shared networks before the network connects and prevents it connecting somehow? If this is the case, I dont mind quitting itunes every night as long as I dont have to screw with the internet connection every morning.

I know you don't have any replies posted here, but has anyone given you or have you found the answer?
We have the same problem with our airport extreme. My son listens to iTunes at night too. Sometimes the next morning with or without the iTunes running at night - suddenly my network is gone. I have to go back in and re set some stuff. Our AE is not even 2 mos old and it really has been problematic.
When we first got the AE set up this strange network appeared. We didn't recognize it from anywhere and it wasn't the AE's address. Every once in awhile it shows up. There are times when we think it might be our neighbor's wireless connection, but who knows?
Then the other night my son was on AIM and MIM chatting when suddenly the connection was dropped. He tried to sign back on but everything was gone. A strange new network name appeared (this time it looks like the AE created a new network and name based on it's address) and we could not sign back on to the internet. This all happened in the space of 2-3 minutes. All my efforts and re-sets have failed. My husband uses the AE as a router and plugs his PC into the LAN port to connect to the internet (of course the wireless portion then no longer functions thereafter). Well, now he can not even sign onto the internet.
I have put at least 6+ hours into trying to figure this out. i guess I'll have to give up and try Apple support since it is still basically new. Last time I called Apple Support, it sure seemed like I was able to guide/help myself more than the joker csr I happened to dial into.
Anyone else have this problem? Did you eventually fiz it?

Newbie question - how to add a computer not on your network?

We purchased the ARD 3.0 for our networked Macs and so far it's been working fine. But we also have a remote user we'd like to add. This person is using a cable modem to connect to our VPN now but is moving and may have to use dial-up for a while.
So, how do I add them to this list? Get their IP address? What if the IP address changes?
Thanks

"So, how do I add them to this list?"
"File" menu --> Add by address.
But you should forget about supporting this user if they have a dialup connection, as it is far to slow to do 95% of ARDs tasks...especially control and observe.
"What if the IP address changes?"
Set up the computer with a dynamic hostname at dyndns.com

I bought a new computer and tried to authorize it. It states that I already have 5 computers that are authorized. I no longer have any of those 5 computers. How do I deauthorize all of them, as it is not shown as an option, as my new computer since it is not authorized.
Thanks

You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.
For more information on authorization and de-authorization: iTunes Store- Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC.

my i phone 4 is water damaged and it is working but network not shown so please help me

A replacement iPhone is usually a refurbished iPhone that has received new battery and case and repair of anything that may have been faulty. The refurbished iPhone is indistinguishable from a new iPhone. A number of the regulars on here prefer the refurbished Aplle products because they have been so thoroughly tested.
A replacement iPhone is identical to the original, same color, capacity, and so on.

You have to remove all cables before connecting to your computer with micro usb. Power is only connected when using a 3rd gen device and done after the initial connection.

Since OES 11 SP2 computer members of groups are not shown in AD Users and Computers mmc snapin

I have several groups of computers in my DSfW Domain, They are mainly
used to apply different GPOs to different groups.
If you look via iManager or C1 at the properties of the groups you see
the computers, which are members of the groups on the membership and
security self equivalancy pages.
If you use the MS AD snapin the memberlist of the group shows not any
computer - but the computer(user) template shows, that the computer is
member of the groups in question. It seems as if the GPOs are applied
correctly using the group membership.
But the question remains, why are the computer members not shown in the
group template. They did show up there before OES 11SP2, so it seems
some attribute got lost or is not correctly interpreted on the AD side.

This might be the side-effect of some bug fix we did in oes11sp2, and will require deeper debugging. Please raise the SR with appropriate priority so that we give greater attention.

Hi Hojo38,
That's not good! What happens when you attempt to make the connection? Do you receive an error message? What device is the computer making a connection to? Send details please.

On my work computer, on the work network (not at home), FireFox can't get into gmail, nor see graphics on this site or ones like Linkedin. Settings to change?

Got a new computer at work that is very locked down. I am running Firefox off my USB since they give us only IE 8 and a very locked down Chrome that has no access to extensions,
At work (not at home), when I try to get into gmail, I get all these certificate errors. Granting exceptions doesn't work.
Another problem is when I go to sites like this one, or like Linkedin, it is all text, no graphics. But when I use this same computer on my home network, there is no problem.
Would appreciate if there is some setting I can change on this to enable access.

On your work computer, you're probably behind a proxy server. When you make exceptions and proceed to a site, often you will get an incomplete page load because many sites now use multiple servers and the exception only covers the main one.
Assuming that is the problem, you may be able to import whatever certificate IE and Chrome are using to get around this problem. (They both share the Windows certificate store.) In particular, there would be an master certificate that the proxy is using to sign its fake SSL certificates that you could export from IE and import into Firefox as an Authority. I assume this would work on a Portable version of Firefox, but I've never heard of anyone trying it.

Windows 7 32 bit computer does not show in network neighborhood

If I go to Windows Explorer only certain computers will show (both Windows 7 32 bit and 64 bit computers) under network. Why would
another computer not be showing.
The computer is on Windows Server 2008 domain.
If I a computers that does not show and open Network and Sharing Center, Change advanced sharing settings, I see Turn on network discovery and Turn on file and printer sharing are checked.

After upgrading all the computers on a small LAN (about 10 workstations) I found that only a few of the workstations would show up in network neighborhood. This was a using a clean install of Windows7Pro on all the computers. After a great
deal of checking settings and verifying that the really could be accessed by mapping a drive to a known computer name and share such as:
\\SERVER1\data, but unable to see the computers in network neighborhood, out of frustration I changed the workgroup name from the default WORKGROUP to WORKGROUP1 and like magic the network neighborhood became populated.
I saw hints about this in several other forums, but nothing on Microsoft, so wanted to pass it along that this really works. OTH, I have other workgroups that work just fine with the default WORKGROUP name,
So, after changing all the computers in the workgroup over to WORKGROUP1 all became visible and my problem was solved. Oh and this was just a typical TCP/IP network with a Dynex router providing dhcp services and internet access. Absolutely plain
vanilla, no 3rd party firewalls, just the default tcp/ip network settings that are pretty much installed automatically when installing W7Pro. And all the computers were set up as WORK networks with Network Discovery and sharing enabled. I verified
again by changing some back to WORKGROUP that when I did so those computers were no longer visible on the network.
Hope this helps someone else.
