How do I file and printer share with my PC computer running windows 7

I have set up my Imac to share files and printers with Everyone on  my network. I have set up my PC with Windows 7 to home network. However the PC does not see the Imac and vice versa? What am I doing wrong?

Is the Mac set to the same Workgroup as the PC?
Might try Bonjour for Windows...

  • File and print sharing with wrt54g, ver. 6

    Are you running software firewalls on any computer? Has the LAN IP network changed (e.g. it was 192.168.0.* before and now 192.168.1.*)?

  • How to uncheck File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks by Command!!

    Dear everybody,
    I meet a problem with my System now, and I need your help!!!
    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
    netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="File and Printer Sharing" new enable=Yes
    To disable these functions in Windows, use the same command and replace 'Yes' to 'No' in the above commands.

  • File and Printer Sharing with Bonjour and Rendevouz

    have a new IMac Intel Core with Tiger and a Power PC G4.
    Using wireless router at the G4, I want to share files and
    a printer which is connected to the G4. Have tried the help
    and the IMac Intel Core recognizes the printer, but when I print, it shows connecting to printer, but then says no job printing.
    Any suggestions?

    If you are running any firewall, try disabling that. Make sure all computer's are set to same workgroup. Also turn on built on firewall on vista, and xp. Turn defender off on vista. Then try to ping and check for replys.

  • File and printer sharing with new router WRT100

    I have a desktop PC running XP media center home edition hardwired to the router and a wireless laptop running Vista basic. About a year ago I was able to set up a wireless home network. I was thrilled to find out I could share files and a printer between the 2 PC's. Everything was working well until last week when my router died. I replaced the router with WRT100 and both PC's are back online but I lost file sharing. I am NOT technical and know little about PC's. I just stumble along. I spent hours trying to figure out the problem. I changed no seetings  on my computers except what was needed to install the new router.    What I do know is that the network wizard  is telling me the network is set up but when I go into a folder I want to share there is no tab that says "share file on the network". (when this tab was there I checked it and the under the folder an icon would appear to show the folder was shared on the network between the 2 computers).
    I can share the files within the PC with other users but not on the network with my other computer. I checked all the settings and cannot find a problem. I tried to ping the computer but got an error.  Stuff was sent but not received, whatever that means???
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks....

  • Right clicking PDF files and printing those with Acrobat Reader X

    We have a Windows XP computer with Adobe Acrobat 7 Professional and Acorbat Reader X.
    Now when we open PDF files they open with Acrobat Reader X wich is fine.
    But when we try selecting PDF files and right click Print them they print with Acrobat 7 Professional.
    The problem is with Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 it doesn't print all the files we selected.
    We select 50 files and only about 10 are printed and those are always random.
    So is there anyway to enable the print option to print with Acrobat Reader X ?

    This is not a desirable situation. Adobe recommends against having Reader and Acrobat on the same machine, unless they're both version X, exactly because it can cause this kind of conflicts.

  • How can I view and print my texts on my computer?

    I need to be able to view my history of texts on my iPhone on my computer.  What is the process?

    There is no ready made process, but there are a number of programs called something akin to "iPhone backup extractor" that might be able to pull the text message history out of the device backup, after which you should be able to do what you want with it.

  • 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
    Network and Sharing Center Group Policy Settings
    Hope this helps. Thanks.

  • Fix for WRT54G file and printer sharing

    I have two computers, both connected via wireless. They were connected with a 2 year old Linksys router, that was working great, but got destroyed in a move.
    I purchased a new linksys WRT54G router.
    Symptoms were that both had great access to the internet, but I could not file and print share between them.
    After 5 phone calls into tech support, I finally escallated to a senior tech support guy, who had me turn off the firewall.
    I have McAfee firewall. I diabled the firewall for testing, and it all worked instantly.
    So, I went to McAfee personal Firewall, Options on bottom left, and set a trusted range of ip addresses from 192.168.1.0 through 192.168.1.255, then turned the firewall back on. On my computer, I already had the policy of "trust devices on the local network", but for some reason that wasn't good enough.
    For some reason, the McAfee does not like the new router. I know there are a BUNCH of posts on this forum, and other forums, and I would hate for Linksys to become known as not being a great product.
    The first level tech support at Linksys told me "we do not support file and print sharing." I had to keep escallating to finally reach someone that understood the router SHOULD pass packets back and forth.
    I never thought of the firewall.
    Also, you have to adjust the firewall on every computer that you want to share devices or files off of.

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

  • How do i copy and print groups from my address book?

    How do I copy and print groups(with contact information) from address book? I want to copy a group of contacts in list form that ideally I can paste into Excel.

    I'm not sure exactly what you are asking.  If you are coming from pre-Mountain Lion, then Address Book has changed to Contacts.
    Open Contacts.
    Select an Account in the group list, if you want the contact in a specific group. If Groups aren't showing, you can display them from the View menu.
    Click the Add card button ( + ).
    Enter the information for the contact.
    If you need multiple entries for a particular field type, a new blank entry will show up below the one you are adding.
    If you need other fields, use the Card menu to Add a new field type.
    If you want to change the default fields available when you create a new card, choose Edit Template…
    If you have sent emails to someone and you want to get that address to add to a Contact, use the Previous Recipients command in the View menu in Mail.
    If you need to add a new Group, hover the cursor over the account name, and a + button will appear. Click it.

    Check IP on each PC: For example:
    PC1: 192.168.1.100
    PC2: 192.168.1.101
    Ping 192.168.1.101 from PC 1 and ping 192.168.1.100 from PC2... see which replies...
    If both give out positive replies... then that is not a router issue but PC issues. Might be firewalls.
