M10 - sharing files in network

is there a setting I need to change in the valet system or is this a windows setting change only ?  I am wanting to share files between the 2 pc on the valet network AND  a wired printer connected to the main pc with the 2nd pc . Possible ? yes/ no
Thanks

I have a Valet network setup on Windows XP with a wireless laptop and ethernet connected PC (both laptop and PC are running XP).  I would like to share a folder on the PC with the laptop.  How do I do that on the Valet network?  When I open the Sharing/Security window for the folder I want to share, I do not see the options given in the link recommended on the last response. Instead of a share this folder option, the sharing window under Network sharing and security has message that "As a security measure, Windows has dissabled remote access to this computer. However, you can enable remote access and safely share files by running the Network Setup Wizard."  I am afraid that if I run the network wizard now, it may corrupt the current wireless network connection with my laptop.  Do I need to run the wizard to share a folder on the PC and will this cause problems with the laptop wireless connection to the internet?  Is there something that CISCO has within the Cisco Connect program to enable sharing folders without running the Windows XP Network Setup Wizard?

  • Unable to access shared files over network after period of time.

    First off, I don't think that this issue is related to our router, but I have been searching for a fix and can not find one. We have a WRT54GS. Now, on to our issue:
    At my work, we have a small network with computers sharing files between the others. I have attached a network diagram to help explain this better.
    Our Win7 machine is our main computer that shares an external hard drive with much information that the other computers need to access. What we have noticed is either after a sleep, or even a period of time of say, 2 hours, those files are no longer able to be accessed. The Win7 machine is still sharing them, but the WinXP machines are unable to access them anymore and my Mac can see the computer is unable to connect to the folders. I have gone and attempted to get some help over at Microsofts site but that was a fail. Here is the link to the forum post there. http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7network/thread/f0a2e8d6-f75a-41d7-a280-c6f3adbffa...
    A member there gave me this:
    The Network connection is probably not resuming after sleep. 
    First try this, http://www.ezlan.net/Win7/power_save_win7.jpg
    It is in the Network Connection Properties under the Network card configuration.
    If it already checked this way, or does not work after checking, the Network card has to be taken out of the computer's Power Saving loop, and stay on all the time.
    Otherwise, Updating the Card with the latest OEM drivers (downloaded from the computer's support site) might help too.
    On a rare occasions, some cards might be "Quirky" in this regards and need to be replaced.
    --I would like to add that this DOESN'T ONLY happen after sleep, it also happens after a time of being used.
    I attempted those and no luck. This problem is still occurring and the only way we can fix it is by restarting the Win7 machine. But even if it is being used, we have no idea when those files are unable to be accessed.
    *I will add that the Win7 machine is still able to access the other computers when this problem occurs if that helps.
    **The Win7 machine is a Dell T3500 running Windows 7 64bit. I can provide specific hardware if needed. The drivers are all up to date as of yesterday.
    ***So upon looking in the Windows XP machine, both of the folders from the Win7 machine disappear once this problem occurs in the My Network Places folder. And one folder is on the internal drive, one is on external. The computers are in this situation now where I am unable to access them. The Win7 machine can read and write from the other computers, but the other computers can even see the Win7 Machine.
    ****All the connections are wired and are not using the wireless.
    Thanks for any help that anyone may have for me!

    It sounds like there is incompatibility issue with XP and Win7. To isolate this, do you have another Win7 machine? Try to add it to the network and check if the shared drives are accessible after sleep. If you don't have another computer, try virtual machine and create a Win7 system.
    Update your LAN card driver from the manufacturer's site. Don't use the driver from windows update.
    Lastly, does this happen to your XP machines? Like, one of the XP machine sharing a folder and falls asleep. When it wakes up, does Win7 machine can still access the shared folder?

  • Accessing shared files over network

    I am having some problems with a couple of database files that I access with a Java program over network. Different computers running this program all need access to these files, and my question is if anyone know of a good way to make sure that only one user have access to these files at the time. There is no server software running were the files are stored, they are simply reached through file sharing. Currently I am creating a lock file indicating that someone is editing the files, however if I am unlucky 2 users create that lockfile at the same time and then both get access to the file corrupting it. Anyone experienced this and know of a nice solution to avoid it?

  • Sharing Files Over Network and computers not showing up in sidebar

    I am trying to figure out how to share files over the network. Now when I click onto the computer in my shared items, I do not get access to the home folder that I used to see. Instead, I am getting a folder image with the user name below it, but it says Sharepoint. However, when I click on the folder I get another folder that says dropbox with a down arrow. However, when I click on that it says it cannot be opened because I do not have privileges.
    What happened to being able to being able to get access to the home folder from the users on the computer that you are trying to retrieve files from.
    Are there settings I need to adjust to allow me to get access to the files on the other computer.
    The other computer is an iMac G5.
    My next issue is that my wife's iBook G4 doesn't even show up in the shared items in the sidebar.
    Again, are there settings on this computer that have to be adjusted.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Trouble sharing files across networked computers

    I frequently have this problem when trying to copy files from my MBP at home to my PowerMac at work and vice versa. Regardless of how the connection between the two machines is made (smb, MobileMe), when I try to copy a file or folder, I get a message saying 'You may need to enter the name and password for an administrator on this computer to change the item named "filename.xxx".'
    I am the administrator for both machines, and I am logged in to both as the administrator when this message occurs.
    At this point, I have buttons giving me the option to Stop or Continue. Clicking Continue brings up a message saying 'The item "filename.xxx" contains one or more items you do not have permission to read. Do you want to copy the items you are allowed to read?'
    Again I have the option to Stop or Continue. Clicking Continue gives me the message 'The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items.' This message comes up even though I am logged in as the administrator on both machines and I have made sure that I've got read & write privileges for that file.
    At this point, I'm stymied. This occurs whether I'm attempting to transfer a single file, a folder, or an archive. I've adjusted sharing preferences on both machines so that I specifically have full privileges for both the source and target folders as well as the file(s) being moved. Both machines are running OSX 10.5.8.
    Any suggestions? Thanks in advance -

    Hi Keven - just wanted to chime in that I can replicate this error on a nearly identically configured setup as yours, but like you, have no substantive response (yet) from Apple. In fact, my post disappeared. The only thing I see, perusing the forums, is that people are recommending Snow Leopard upgrade to solve numerous networking issues. I realize this is not a satisfactory answer. I will stay subscribed to your post and will let you know if Apple comes back to me with a good response as well.

  • Any ideas why I can no longer access shared files on networked PC's in my office? I keep getting a "server not exist or unavailable" error.

    I have been able to access the files in the past. Actually when I've had this problem before a restart has solved it. Not this time. And it keeps happening. Even more strange, Filemaker is able to access shared databases stored on the same PC's. Why can Filemaker see these computers? Both also show up in the finder but when I try to connect I get the error. I also tried "connect as" with no success. Any ideas?

    Thanks Barney, I am now using pages to open exisiting Word documents. and then saving in the new format. I then trash the old incompatable (.doc) file.

    I have an Epson Epson Stylus Photo Rx430 printer.
    Since upgrading to OSX10.7 print files do not load to the printer. The Epson job box shows data is being sent to printer but it the task is never completed.

    Today, I have been in contact  with Epson Printer support, enquiring if they have any driver updates for RX430 that would be compatable with OSX10.7 Lion.
    I was notified by Epson that they do not have any drivers for any of their printers for the new OSX 10.7.
    How may I  continue using my now unsupported Epson printer? 

  • Trouble connecting with IMAC to Windows shared files on network.

    Every so often our IMAC will have trouble connecting to our file storage server (running Windows Vista). Usually we reboot the file storage server and this fixes the problem. When the connection problem occurs the IMAC can still smb into other workstations on the network, but not the file storage server. Anyone had any similar issues before? The two things that seem odd to me are 1) That the IMAC can still smb into other workstations on the network and 2) That a restart fixes it everytime.

    Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    You are not doing anything wrong. There are compatibility issues with the way Pidgin and iChat Leopard communicate. Your options are to use another windows client (PSI for instance) or make some changes to the configuration of the ichat server (namely set the server up to use the non SSL port 5222 and plain text log in).

  • Windows 7 computers asking for network password to access shared files and printers on Windows XP PRO computer.

    I have a network of 10 computers configured as peer-to-peer work group. I have upgraded one of the ten from Windows XP PRO to Windows 7 PRO. The other nine computers are all running XP PRO. AS near as I can tell they are all configured the same. I have the
    same user and same passwords on all computers. One of XP computers is used as a print server. The Windows 7 computer initially was able to access shared files and printers on all XP machines with out requesting a network password.
    Suddenly, the Win 7 computer began requesting a network password to access the shared files and printers on the XP print server. It will not accept any of the user names or passwords (all administrators on both machines with identical names and passwords.)
    The Win 7 computer has no problem accessing the shared files on the other XP machines. It can even access shared printers in a different work group. Apparently something has changed but I'm at my wits end trying to figure what changed on either the Windows
    7 machine or the print server XP machine.
    I would appreciate any help. Thank you

    Disable simple file sharing on the Windows XP computer:
    How to disable simple file sharing and how to set
    permissions on a shared folder in Windows XP
    2.   
    On the Windows 7 computer, go to “Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings” and ensure that the
    following items are turned ON:
    Network Discovery
    File and printer sharing
    And this one is OFF:
    Password protected sharing
    3.   
    Temporarily disable or remove all the security software (firewall, anti-virus, anti-spyware, etc.) on the computers and check if it works.

  • No longer able to access shared files on my pc over my network from my mac

    For months I have been able to access my shared files folder located on my pc, sharing a network with my PowerBook G4 (OS X 10.3 +). Suddenly, when I try to access the pc now, I get the spinning beachball and nothing. I can see my pc in the network, but it doesn't open. I haven't made any changes on the pc side, except perhaps the windows security updates that come along once in a while. (I did try to access it with the firewall turned off just in case, but no dice).
    Does anyone have any ideas or things I could try to shake this out?

    Adobe Story stores its local files on the following location:
    On Windows,
    1. Open Windows Explorer and type '%appdata%' in the address bar

  • 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,

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

  • Best Setup For Frequent File Sharing On Home Network?

    Hi guys,
    I'm setting up an office at my house with multiple computers on a network, and we'll be sharing files over the network frequently. My question is, what is the best setup for this?.. Fastest transfer of files, stable wireless connection, etc.
    All of the computers will be Macs (iMacs and Macbooks).
    We'll be editing videos/photos on the computers. (Potentially large files)
    Is the easiest setup just to have the main computer attached to a good router, setup file sharing on all other computers, and just do it that way?
    Or would it be better to create some sort of NAS?
    Also can someone reccomend a good router for this type of scenario?
    Thanks for any help given.

    NAS is the right tool for this job.
    It is expensive but the market leaders.. synology and QNAP have really been doing it for long time and the ability to do file store/sharing and most importantly backup in these is excellent. Pick the best you can afford.. and buy disks that are in the recommended list. ie the cheapest are not always the best.. indeed they seldom are.
    Plan very carefully for rotation of USB drives (easy and cheap now with 4TB single drives). Rotate backups with offsite location on weekly basis.
    I would buy a 4 disk case.. you can use 4x3TB which are the best value at the moment.. that gives you 9TB of storage.. plus redundancy for a dead drive.
    Alternatives are using a Mac Mini as a server.. with a large stack of disks on it.. generally should be thinking thunderbolt if you want speed. Hideously expensive though for now.
    You can buy an Extreme or TC.. either would work well. TC allows you easy TM backups without using your NAS..
    Edit very large files on the computer. ie copy to computer.. edit.. copy back to the NAS.
    Editing very large files over wireless.. not good. Multiply that by mutliple computers.. not even fair.
    Copy a large project to the computer.. work on it.. copy back to the NAS.. in the meantime Time Machine should be able to take care of incremental backups.
    There are heaps and heaps of solutions.. as long as it is logical and easy to you.. and covers what you need.
    Don't skimp.. spending a $1000 for a NAS with disks.. plus extra for the backup disks.. that represents how many day's work for you plus anyone you have helping.. $$$$ ????
    A mini as a server is a good alternative.. You don't need to run server OS.. but share files to the network. Very hard to build the capacity of the NAS though.
    And a Mac Pro is now a joke without internal slots and cages for drives. (nice machine but wrong for this).
    And Apple have nothing in between.. a short tower case.. been missing for a long long time.

    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.
