E4200 Disabled File and Printer sharing

I just upgraded form a WRT 150N to an E4200 router. The main computer, a pc is attached to it with a wire. The other computers are wireless and laptops. The main computer runs windows 7. One laptop runs XP and the other vista. After the installation internet access worked normally. The network sharing and printing worked fine before installing the E4200. Now only the base computer can see shared files on the others. The two laptops cannot see shared files between them or on the base computer. Also the laptops cannot print to the printer which is hard wired to the base computer even though it can read the printer. This worked fine before the E4200 was installed. Your Customer service rep on the phone directed me to run tests and everything passed. She said it’s a file sharing problem not a Cisco problem and told me I had to pay Microsoft to solve the problem. She also thought the OS was reading the old router and there may be a problem there. She said she is not trained to solve these problems. Well if it worked before with the WRT1509N isn’t a Cisco problem?
Does anyone have a solution to this?
Please, please help.

Do any experts know the reason of this problem?  Thanks!

  • Script to disable Client for Microsoft Networks and File and Print Sharing for Microsoft Networks

    Hi, I am trying to find a way of using a batch file or vbscript to disable Client for Microsoft Networks and File and Print Sharing for Microsoft Networks on a Network Interface Controller.
    I've done some searching on the internet and I can see some suggestions to locate the Setting ID of the NIC and then remove the value from the "Bind" string under "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Linkage" and "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Linkage"
    I tried this but it didn't seem to uncheck itself from the NIC properties under NCPA.cpl
    Can someone help me?

  • File and Printer sharing on Windows 7 Through Group Policy

    Hi,
    I was wondering how to enable File and Printer sharing on Windows 7 Through Group Policy. I have enabled the policy called: Allow inbound file and printer sharing exception.
    But when I go to advanced sharing settings, it's still turned off.
    Windows Server 2003 AD Domain, and I'm using the Group Policy Manager from my Windows 7 machine to edit the policy.
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    Based on my knowledge, there is no Group Policy setting for enabling and disabling File and Printer sharing. To do this, you may need to write a script and you can go to our Scripting Forum for help.
    In addition, I would like to share the following with you:
    Enable or Disable File Sharing for a User or Group by Using Group Policy

    Hope this helps. Thanks.

  • X301 "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks" removed at re booting (XP SP-3)

    Even if I run the “Network Identification Wizard” (under System properties/Computer Name) to join a Workgroup, the box ‘File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks’ remains unchecked.  If I ticked it manually, it remains checked for the current session, but it is unchecked at booting.
    The same occurs with the Windows Firewall (I am running that from Symantec). I switch the Windows Firewall off, but after rebooting, it appears selected again!.
    This happens only with my brand new ThinkPad X301, which came with Vista. The package included a kit to convert to XP, but this installed a ‘naked’ XP, which required downloading from Lenovo and Windows about 1Gb of files (bad service, Lenovo guys!).
    I wonder which “safety” issue of the X301 causes this, but how can I stop this happening? (It does not occur with any of my two old ThinkPads, also running XP SP-3 and Lenovo software).
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    See -> http://www.vistax64.com/vista-networking-sharing/72537-file-printer-sharing-turned-off-reboot.html  Here is the text. Re: File and Printer sharing turned off on reboot
    I FOUND MY SOLUTION!!!
    In my case, it was in Lenovo's "ThinkVantage Access Connections" applet. It
    is additional security that is applied at the CONNECTION level.
    Here is how I fixed it:
    1. Double click on the ThinkVantage Access Connections applet in the
    notification area.
    2. Click on the MANAGE button on the toolbar
    3. Select the SSID where you want File Sharing to work, and click EDIT
    4. Click on the ADDITIONAL SETTINGS tab
    5. Next to "Network Security", click the SETTINGS button
    6. The first option in Security Settings is "Disable file and printer
    sharing". UNCHECK this box. Click OK for 3 levels of dialog boxes, then
    close Access Connections
    Although these directions are specific to ThinkPad notebooks, the same
    principle may apply for other manufacturers' connection managers.
    Best of luck!

  • File and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks on Windows server 2008

    Hi Expert,
    I found that the properties of File and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks service disabled after I install the windows server 2008 64bits. I tried to install that service via adding the file and printer sharing services in the properties of local area connection, but it doesn't contain any service in the popup box.  Also, no such service file available in the disk when I tried to install the service from installation disk of windows server 2008 64bits. Is the file "sacsrv.dll" corresponding to the service name of file and printer sharing? I found it is in the directory of "Windows\system32".  I have no idea about where is the problem? Do I miss some components? Please tell me what can I do for it? Thanks!
    Best Wishes,

  • Lenovo Thinkvanta​ge Access Connection​s prevents Microsoft File and Printer Sharing

    We have several Think pad laptops deployed in our company, including G41, T61, and T500 models.  We are using Numara's Track It software to inventory our workstations and laptops.  The auditing process needs to have Microsoft File and Printer Sharing turned on in order to work.  We have enabled a group policy to set this to on by default.  However, the Thinkavntage Access connections manager for the LAN connection overrides the GP and turns off the File and Printer Sharing by default.  What's worse, with it off, we can't remotely manage the machine's services or even access the registry.  We know that his is the issue, because reconfiguring the access connections manager to allow the file and printer sharing will allow all of our remote administration tools to work, insluding the inventory audit.
    Does anyone know how to disable the access connection manager from running remotely?  or does anyone know how to change the settings remotely to all for the microsoft file and printer sharing to be enabled by default.  I would hate to have to visit each user individually just to turn off a setting. 
    anyone else run into headaches because of this "security feature"?

  • File and Printer Sharing

    Running XpHomeSp2. Just purchased a WRT150N to replace a failing SMC wireless router. Was able to share files and printers before replacement, now cannot. Microsoft Windows Network recognizes Local network by name after long, slow delay, but does not list any computers or shared locations or devices there when access attempted from main computer, but, oddly, list is possible from another network computer, but only the shares it offers to the network are accessible.
    Only difference between now and prior is the router and that WPA security is invoked. Access is not granted when security is disabled. Have found no support for this issue anywhere. Also now note that Xp no longer lists Simple File Sharing in Folder Options, not that I'd used it in original sharing setup.
    Anyone experiencing similar issues able to offer resolution?

    Your computer software firewall may be blocking the file and printer sharing. It was for me. You changed from a 'Trusted' network physical address to a new network physical address. Go into your software firewall 'Trust' settings and change the new address to 'Trusted'.
    I had previously just disabled the firewall. Apparently that's not totally effective.
    Hope this helps.

    As mentioned in title, I need uncheck on File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks by Command for Security purpose.
    Could you show me the way to do it by command line
    I think GPO can solve this but My Boss want to do it by command line
    Thanks for your help!!!

    netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="Network Discovery" new enable=Yes

    To disable these functions in Windows, use the same command and replace 'Yes' to 'No' in the above commands.

  • File and Print Sharing over wireless

    I have the following hardware:
    MBP - Brand spanking new kickin' machine running 10.4.x
    G4-400 - old but still doing nicely running 10.3.9
    PC running XP
    MBP has the extreme card built in
    G4-400 has a third party wireless card that's been working for 2 years
    PC has a netgear wireless card
    Router is a netgear WR814v2 wireless B
    Facts: Before I bought the MBP last week, I could access files between my G4 and PC fine over my network and access the web at the same time. When I connected the MBP to the network, I could surf. When i tried to turn on filesharing, it works for a short time, but then knocks the network offline. The model still shows a connection and my router still broadcasts and the wireless cards all get the signal, but nothing connects.
    To troubleshoot the issues, this is what I've done so far:
    When it went down, the first thing I did was turn file and print sharing off on both of the macs, restarted and tried the connection. Again, model still shows logged in, but no connection. Then i plugged the PC into the ethernet port on the router to get a wired line. Still no connection on the PC. Next, I shut down the macs, disabled the wireless on the PC and restarted the PC. Still no connection through the ethernet port even though the model and router still show all signs good. Also, through all this, I couldn't log into the router's IP address once I was wired to it. Next I shut down the router and modem, waited, then turned on the modem, waited for it to cycle to ready, then turned on the router. The modem showed that it was connected, then the router showed wireless broadcasting. Then I had my connection to the web back.
    I then went back to square one and tried file sharing again and again everything locked up. It seems like some how the file sharing between the macs is confusing the router. I tried fixing the ip address that the router assigns to each machine, but that didn't solve the problem. I'm at my knowledge's end. What am I doing wrong here? My goal is to share files at least between the macs and print through the G4 which has a USB and a Firewire printer attached. I'd like to accomplish the filesharing while still being able to access the web. But for some reason, I can the file sharing up and running for a short time, but then everything falls apart and locks up.
    MBP   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   G4-400 and PC also on network

    I figured out the networking mess - the secret, don't follow the instructions on the apple site - listen only to everyone in this discussion. I kept following the instructions to turn on appletalk and that's what was tying everything up. When I just use the sharing preference panel without going into the network preference panel, all is good in the world. I can now view all three computers with their shared folders(enhanced by sharepoint for a couple of external drives) and also print from all machines to the printers hooked up to the G4.

  • Problem with file and printer sharing

    I just installed a Linksys WRT54G to replace a D-Link wireless router and cannot reestablish my file and printer sharing since replacing the router.  I had file and printer sharing working fine before installing the WRT54G.   All of the computers are running either XP Pro or 2000 Pro.  I have two printers attached to one of my computers that I was previously sharing with all of the other computers on our home network.  One is attached via a parallel port, the other via a USB port.  
    Here's what I've tried so far without success.
    1.  The IP of the WRT54G is 192.168.1.1, and the IP's it assigns to my LAN computers begin 192.168.1.XXX.  The old IP of the D-Link was 192.168.0.1 and its LAN IPs were 192.168.0.XXX, so I've gone into my firewall and changed the settings for the range of trusted computers to correspond to the WRT54G's IP addresses.
    2.   I've tried uninstalling the printers and reinstalling them, including reinitializing printer sharing.
    3.  When I try to use the Windows  "Add printer" wizard to add a networked printer, it can see the computer that has the printers attached, but it does not see the printers.
    4.  I haven't fooled around with the file sharing settings, but they've all be lost too, so I suspect there is a common problem for both printer and file sharing.
    Any suggestions would be most welcome.  I don't know what would be different about the WRT54G that would cause this problem.

    Try this to Enable File and Printer Sharing...Turn Off the Router Firewall...Make sure the Windows Firewall is also Off...

  • File and Printer Sharing problem

    Message Edited by bartman_60042 on 11-13-2007 05:47 AM

    Oops...somehow submitted without any text.
    My set-up: Linksys Cable Modem with Linksys Wireless Router.  2 Desktop Computers (Black and Grey) and 1 Laptop.  Windows XP SP2 with all current upgrades on each.
    While setting up File and Printer Sharing, I have the following:
    1) The Black computer can file/printer share from both the Grey computer and Laptop.
    2) The Grey computer can only file/printer share from the Laptop; not from the Black computer.
    3) The Laptop can only file/printer share from the Grey computer; not from the Black computer.
    All 3 computers were configured the same as far as I can tell.  The only difference I notice is that the Black computer boots without the XP 'login' screen (no password required), could this be causing the problem?  If this is the issue, how would I change the settings to 'login' to the Black computer?  Any thing else which may be wrong?

  • File and Printer Sharing Problem with WRT54G

    I am currently having problems sharing files over my network. My setup consists of:
    3 laptops (wireless)
    1 desktop (wired)
    WRT54G V6.0 router with firmware version 1.00.9.
    All of the computers have File and Printer Sharing enabled, unique names, and are on the same workgroup. However none of the computers can see one another. When I try to view workgroup computers for my network places, the explorer window stops responding for about 30 sec. and then spits out a dialog with the error:
    "Workgroup is not accessable. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.
    The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available."
    I think that this problem has something to do with the router, as I have been successfuly sharing files and a printer with these settings using a microsoft 802.11b router for over a year. After purchasing the linksys and swapping it out with my old router, filesharing no longer functions.
    I have spent a little time browsing the forums and have seen other posts from people with simmiler problems, but was unable to find any solutions.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I'm having the same problems as you are, I have 2 computers on wired the other wireless the router is in between and I can't access from either side, although I can ping and remote connect but just cannot share files across the network. I have looked all over the forums too and there saying to ditch linksys and do something else.
    Its not you thats caused this it is the firmware and the router that have the problems.
    My Specs:
    WRT-54G
    v5.0
    That new firmware update 1.00.9 just isn't working right. I might downgrade my fireware to fix this problem.

  • E3000 file and printer sharing issues

    Yes, there is at least one other thread on this but it looked a bit stale.
    Last Friday I replaced my BEFSR41 router and WRT54G wireless access point (which had gone brick on me) with an E3000.The E3000 is configured as a DHCP server at 192.168.168.65 with a scope of 66-115. The only other non-default setting is that I opened up the custom port for my slingbox.
    Prior to making the switch, I had several network shares on an XP desktop that I used frequently from my Vista laptop. Now, however, I can no longer even "see" any other computer from any of the computers on the network, much less access their shared folders. In other words, if I view the network from any of these machines, the only machine that shows up is the machine itself. Everything else (internet access, slingbox, a print server) is working just fine.
    One of the suggestions in the other thread was to turn off Norton Internet Security, which is of course not a viable option. However I did check the settings, relaxed the network default to "Shared", and raised the XP desktop to "Full Trust". This had no effect.
    I pinged the various computers, and was able to do so by their IP addresses, but not by their computer names (that worked with the old router). On a hunch, I tried creating a mapped drive, and that also worked when I used the IP address, but not when I used the computer name.
    So - there's nothing wrong with the network configuration, or with how the shares are set up, and Norton isn't the problem. The only problem seems to be that names aren't being resolved, which could be affecting windows discovery, too. Did the BEFSR41 provide some local DNS functionality by default, and the E3000 doesn't? Is there an option I need to enable? If so, I can't find it. Perhaps I should explicitly add the E3000's internal IP address as a third nameserver??
    A note on the "support" I tried to get before I turned to the forums: The "Chat agent" asked a bunch of questions, misunderstood my configuration and my problem, and once he finally did understand said "we don't support file and printer sharing". It took me several more questions to learn that he really meant that the Chat facility isn't the place for these questions - I had to call the 800 number. I did that, and after several minutes on hold, reached an agent. After going through everything again, and with the rep going on hold several times to "speak to his supervisor", he said it was "beyond his competence". I was eventually told I had to call another FEE-BASED service. I told him that was unacceptable.

    Ok, another update and possibly some clues.
    I was curious why at one point, when all the computers were in Workgroup2, that "Workgroup" still showed up in Explorer under the list of networks, but only on the two XP machines. Netscan showed this group association as well, which I then realized was the E3000 itself, in its role as a [I]potential[/I] NAS server. However there was no storage device attached.
    Could this in itself cause the access error? If so, should users be advised that if they don't plan to host any storage, that they should to go to the E3000 Storage Administration page and change the workgroup name to something other than their actual workgroup name?
    In my case, I changed it to "Workgroupx", though perphaps something like "StorageGroup" would be more meaningful, especially if the Workgroup computers could still access any storage I might install in the future.
    Anyway, I repeated my original approach (after the above change and a router reboot), and at least got my original Workgroup reestablished to the point where the XP machines not longer get access errors, and most machines can access the shares on the XP desktop. The steps I used on each machine were:
    remove any shares I had set up on any folders
    uninstalled the File and Printer Sharing service
    Accessed Computer Name properties page to change the workgroup name
    Shut Down
    After all 4 were done, I reversed the process:
    Started computer (now coming up in new Workgroup)
    Reinstalled File and Printer Sharing service
    Checked visibility
    At this point, the XP machines could see each other, and the Win7 and Vista machines could see each other, but initially these two cliques wouldn't interact.
    Next I re-added the shared folders on the XP desktop, and the XP netbook could see and access them. After about an hour, the Win7 machine joined this clique, and could also access the shares. But six hours later, the Vista machine is still clueless. Netscan shows everything of course, and I used it to set up a mapped drive on the Vista machine to one of the shared folders.
    Other possibly relevant facts:
    The was all working fine with the BEFRS41/WAP54G combo
    I can ping all machines by IP address, but not by name
    On the Vista machine I can set up mapped drives to the XP's shared folders, but again, only by IP address.
    At one point I removed NWLink from the XP desktop. Now, nbtstat -r only shows the printserver's name being resolved.
    The two XP machines, being SP3, lack the LLTD responder.
    So,
    Is it possible the NetBIOS in NWLink was providing some kind of name caching? If so, should I reinstall the protocol driver (I don't think it is available on Win7)?
    Should I request and apply the KB922120 hotfix to get LLTD onto the XP machines?
    Perhaps in the morning, "by name" access will have returned, as it did on my first go-round. Needless to say this has been a real pain, what with all the reboots required. At least now I remember to hit F8 so I can select Safe Mode with Networking...

  • Script to install and enable file and printer sharing windows 7

    Hello
    I posted this question on the Microsoft Partner Windows 7 forum and the support person told me that I should post it here.
    I have a Customer that was running Novell.  We will migrate them to Active Directory.
    The question I have is.  they did remove the file and printer sharing service on their Windows 7 workstations.
    Is is possible to have a command line or a script to install and enable the file and printer sharing for Microsoft Network?
    We need this enable in order to install the SCCM client remotely
    Greetings

    How are you going to connect to the workstations?
    File and print sharing are not needed for Group Policy to work.  GP can be used to re-enable file and Print Sharing.
    You will also  need to start by joining the machines to the domain.  That will be very difficult unless all have PowerShell and are configured for WinRM.
    This can be somewhat accomplished by using VBScript remotely but will require a very sophisticated admin to set up and debug in your environment.  I recommend hiring a consultant who has experience in conversions or is a master VBScripter in a domain.
    There is no easy answer.  It is not about File Sharing.
    Here is how to add roles and features with PowerShell:
