Windows 7 and Windows Xp Joint Network...

Dear Members.......i want to ask 2 very common question i tried a lot to find a solution on internet, but couldn't so i am here.
Our Network Details.
we have a small company with 15 computers all of these computers, when we bought they had installed windows 7 ultimate. just old 2 computers has windows xp. office is divided in to two parts one network is connected through switch (No internet access) and
the second network is connected through wireless router (all have internet access).
Question 1. in our wifi network where all the computers has windows 7 ultimate we have problem of usb diagnostic for exampel if i insert a usb to one computer its reads it but if the same usb i insert in another computer it does not read
it but that computer reads some another usb in this situation for me its very hard to find where is problem if all the computers does not recognize a usb i can imagine that problem is in usb but all the computers reads the usb with there own choice.... i have
tried this(i opened the device mangaer and delete everything under the usb port....and restarted the computer. but it did not solved my problem.
Question 2. in our second network which is connected through Ethernet cable, i saw in host file there is no mapping against any ip address, but when i ping a computer through its name or ip address both of them works. my question is here
that i have not mapped the any computer name with there ip address in host file so how it works...?
Thanks

Hi,
For the first question, from your description, seems a computer issue rahter a usb issue, make sure that you haven't set any usb restriction group policies, some policies can block special usb devices as the admin wants, please refer to this link
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2007.06.grouppolicy.aspx
If you haven't set any policies mentioned above, then there might be a driver issue, if so, have you tried to reinstall usb controller?

Regarding to the Ping, please see explanation about "how it works" in the following technet link

    Hi,
    assuming action.do is the action method of ....../folder1/abc.jpf you can try out this in the test1.jsp,
    function openNameHistory(url) {
    var args = "<%= request.getContextPath() %>/folder1/"+url;

  • ACS 3.2 for Windows and Windows Active Directory.

    I'm using a member W2K server to run ACS 3.2.
    I'm using ACS and Windows group mapping but my users always go into default group.
    Why?
    Thanks.
    Andrea.

    I'm assuming your ACS \DEFAULT domain has NT Groups mapped to . Use a new Domain Configuration to add your AD and group mappings.
    The group name in ACS must match exactly the same group in AD. ie. If your AD group name is "Engineering" , create a ACS group with exactly the same spelling. Also,avoid certain characters such as @#%&*() in the naming of groups, both in AD and ACS.
    Hope this helps. let us know.

  • Compatibility issues with AppleWorks 6.2.2 for Windows and Windows XP?

    For several years I have used AppleWorks for Windows version 6.2.2 with Windows 98. This summer my school upgraded me from W-98 to W-XP.
    On the new machine, I have found that text boxes in draw documents are locked and I cannot edit or move them or unlock them. I find that I have the same issue with an XP computer at home, but I can copy the same file to a W98 machine and everything works as it always did.
    Apple says that AppleWorks 6.2.2. is compatible with XP, but I wonder if that is completely correct.
    Does anyone have any insight?
    Thanks

    I was trying to test this for you in AppleWorks 6 Windows XP in Parallels on my MacBook Pro, but each time I tried to open a draw file I had originally create on my Mac, AppleWorks 6 for Windows crashed.
    I tried another, smaller draw document & it opens without problems & I can move the objects around. I'd suggest deleting the AppleWorks preferences, but I don't know where they are in Windows XP.

  • OSX Mountain LION 10.8 Epson CX7400 and Windows 7

    I have troubles with my printer via Network:
    I installed first the epson CX7400 via USB on the OSX and let OSX download the latest drivers automatic then I made a print and all ok then I return the printer to the machine with windows 7 that share that printer then I add the printer on OSX via Sytem Preferences/Print&amp;Scan then on on "+" then Windows and navigate to the network machine that have the printer all ok detect perfect the OSX say idle and green on OSX but when I try to print say the error "Stopped Filter Failed" I saw on Error Log of the printer and say something of interpreter resource unavailable any suggestion on how to make work my network printer?
    Note: That Printer is actually serving 7 computers without trouble just the OSX lion has the troubles.
    Thank you

    I have the same problem with the Epson CX7400 in a Windows 7 network.
    I enabled LPD printing on the Windows 7 print server and tested it using Snow Leopord and it works fine.
    With Mountain Lion, I am unable to get it to print.
    Same symptoms as you.  My daughter has a new Air with Mountain Lion and needs to print badly.
    I opened a case with Apple today and provided them much detailed debug information and a network trace.
    Because I'm able to print using LPD from Snow Leopord to the very same Windows 7 print server, it is highly unlikely a Windows side issue.  It is more likely that it is an Epson driver/Mountain Lion issue.  I don't expect Apple engineering to get back to me until next Thursday but if I find out anything good, I'll let you know.

  • Mac and Windows Vista

    Hi
    I have a mac mini with OSX 10.4.8.
    I am looking forward to buy a laptop with windows vista.
    The reason why I am interested in buying a windows based laptop is because my work environment is windows and windows based laptops are cheaper.
    Could you enlighten me about compatiblity of these two OS in the form of file sharing, syncronisation, communication via blue tooth, wireless and network between them. Is there any specific features I should look for in the hardware.
    Thanks

    Try reading this for file sharing.
    http://chris.pirillo.com/2007/03/07/file-sharing-from-windows-vista-to-os-x/
    I know alot of people are having problems with getting Vista nd OS X to work, XP had relatively few problems. Hopefully Leopard fixes this.

  • Sharing files between mac os and windows on same computer???

    I am going to get a new Intel based mac. Is there a way to share files between the mac and the windows os?
    Example: I would like to share my iTunes music library from mac os so it is also available in Windows iTunes.
    Is there a way to do this without having to mirror the entire library within Windows?
    Thanks!!!!

    It also depends on how you want Windows to be working on your PC - do you want to have a dual boot system (i.e. you choose whether you want to use OS X or Windows when you turn the computer on) or do you want to use a 'virtualization' program like Parallels (i.e. Windows loads up as a window on your OS X desktop).
    Depending on how you want to do things will affect the ease of integration between OS X and Windows. Via the virtualization route, what you want to do can be done in a couple of clicks - you go into network neighbourhood (in Windows) and set up a Network shortcut to the files you want. You can do the same trick via OS X using the 'Network' functionality in Finder.

  • How can i install a windows version 8 on a 3 year old iMac 27 (only windows and nothing else not via bootcamp = result shut be a clean iMac with windows - no

    When i now had recieve a brand new 27" imac, i had a 3 year old model 27" imac which my daugter want to have BUT i should be as a clean Windows thing -
    so how to change the computer to a clean windows 8 computer with no apple programs in and no Maverick or other lovely programs?
    I had seen on the net that a lot of peoble had windows with bootcamp - i am not a computer tecnician and when i try - i end op with a machine with could nothing - no mac programs - no office pack - no adobe programs - so i had to start op again with a new harddisk.
    Some of the problem is that i dont understand the thing which bin told when you go to bootcamp for a user of mac's since the model was the "classic" and we make newspapers on them - so i want and easy way to have and mac computer for my self (the new one) and let my daugter have a beutiful imac with windows on.
    dont begin talking about parrelles i had try that, results it had a windows 7 which cant be updated, apple dont support that and microsoft doesnt  so - help me
    regards
    Chevron B50

    If you don't want Boot Camp and you don't want a virtual machine, go buy a Windows computer.
    Both Boot Camped Windows and Windows running in a virtual machine work well. Your issues are because of your lack of knowledge or understanding, not because Boot Camp and virtual machines are poor products. Universities, large and small businesses, home users, etc. use virtual machines to run their operating systems.
    Your statements about Boot Camp and Parallels are not the experience of thousands of users.
    Either find someone who is knowledgeable about running Windows on Apple computers to help you or buy a Windows computer. Believe me, if you find a way to install only Windows on your Apple computer without using Boot Camp or a virtual machine you will have more problems than what you have already experienced.

  • Zen Vision M 30Gb and Windows 7

    Hi. I have problem with my player. I installed windows 7 and zen media organizer 5. Windows and windows media player 2 detect player. If I want transfer music to my player by creative organizer, organizer writing ,,No Creative MP3 player is detected. Please connect your Mp3 player and try again". But really player is connect and i can use windows explorer to open music folder inside player.A player works as hard disk without problem. Do you know, how this problem solve? Thank you.

    I know this thread is old, but I'm having this same issue. WMP2 will find it fine on my Windows 7 64-bit. When trying to use ZENCast Organizer, it will not connect. On top of that, none of the settings I set in ZENCast organizer related to the Zen Vision:M will stay set. Something to do with the use of ProgramData folder in Win 7?

  • New hard drive and Windows 7 issues

    I bought a new 1 Tetra Samsung hard drive for my computer since 150GB was not enough. I did this because I need windows partitioned for school. After I installed the hard drive and inserted the Mac OS disk, it would not recognize the hard drive to install. Since then, I have read previous forums such as: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3322843?start=0&tstart=0
    Now, the issue is: I went ahead and installed my Windows XP SP2 because I could not get Mac OS to install. I have also downloaded the Windows 7 Professional update from Microsoft and have a Operating Disk on its way in the mail. I am having some issues with sound and camera and probably others that I don't know about yet, like my graphics card and such. What should I do?
    1. Erase HD and install the Mac OS, because I do want this on my computer. Then download updates for Windows 7 bootcamp and reinstall Windows 7 when I get it in the mail.
    or,
    2. Is there a way to fix the driver issues that I am having without having to reinstall windows. I have not tried to partition yet and install mac.
    I think it would be best to:
    Install Mac OS
    Download updates
    Bootcamp and Install Windows 7
    What do you think and do you have any advice as how I should go about this. Oh, btw, living in a PC world and coming home to my Macbook Pro 3,1 and realizing that it is not as functional is kinda disappointing.
    So, I found this site for the sound: http://www.stuffedcow.net/macbook_audio
    And: http://www.cirrus.com/en/products/cs4207.html
    I am not sure how to go about installing a new driver. Do I download and save or do I run a certain .exe?
    I found this post and was reading, but I am not certain about the right driver for the sound. If I erase the hard drive and install mac. Then, bootcamp and install windows, will I loose my wifi driver? Windows 7 should have that update, but according to this post, it may not.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2534313

    If I were in your shoes I would want to understand why I couldn't install OSX on the internal drive before going any further. Without getting past that hurdle you may or may not be successful in your aims, but you are outside mainstream intended ways of running Bootcamp.
    Just a couple of starters:-
    1. Is your internal hard drive (samsung) formatted with a GUID partition table and HFS+ file system? All done in Disk Utility, booted from the Install disk.
    2. The Apple Install disk (plus subsequent Apple Software Updates) has all the drivers Bootcamp needs, without having to find and download from elsewhere. I run Windows 7 64 bit on two Macs and have never had to go and find a driver. (Of course Windows does it automatically for me for other hardware). Sorry if this next point is insultingly obvious, but just to check that you know you can put the Apple Install Disk in while running Windows and Windows find the installer.
    You don't say anything what your MBP is or what version of OSX you are running. I am not fully up to date with the inplications of Lion and Bootcamp drivers as there is no install disk. I believe 2011 MBPs won't run XP.
    Your comment "Oh, btw, living in a PC world and coming home to my Macbook Pro 3,1 and realizing that it is not as functional is kinda disappointing" implies that you haven't had a Mac very long. Although Macs are easy to pick up and use, there is a LOT to learn about customisation and using it properly and getting the most out of them. I have a number of relatives who still use OSX "out of the box"....it's like driving a car in first gear, and complaining "this car doesn't go very fast". Not a perfect analogy as speed is not the issue here.
    Sorry if some of this post is missing the target...just take on board the bits that apply.

  • I already partitioned my hdd via Bootcamp, supports downloaded, and windows is on an external USB. How can I start installing Windows now? at startup it doesnt show up as bootable device...

    hi,
    I am having a problem installing windows via bootcamp.
    I already partitioned my hdd via Bootcamp, downloaded and copied all the supports for windows, and windows is on an external USB as well. I had to stop the process the other day, so i shut down the computer. Now I am trying to boot from the USB, but I cant get to that point where the computer should restart and windows would start installing.
    . After restarting, holding command, it doesnt show up as bootable device.
    How shall I move forward? My disk is already partitioned, and if i start the whole process from the beginning, it wants me to partition again - although I already made a 100GB partition for windows.
    Please help me out.
    best,
    Zoltan

    So, here is what happened when I tried to make it.(sorry for quality, i had to take them by phone)
    At first when I opened it I saw that I could simply resolve it just by stretching the arrow at the bottom, giving the 100 GB back which I partitioned before via Bootcamp. At this point options was not available.
    I didnt do it because you mentioned earlier that it might be not designed to install windows.
    The second thing I tried I choose 1 Partition from Partition Layout. This time Options were available but I didnt see anything like GPT, the onces that are optionable are on the screenshot.
    What do you think how shall I move on? I was thinking to give it a shot with option 1, just stretch it back and try everything from scratch.

  • Has anyone tried home sharing between mac and windows using parallels on the same machine?

    I recently purchased a mac, and plan to set up parallels for windows and windows 7 so that I can use the Windows version of Over Drive Media Console from the library and download WMA files in windows (limitation with mac version for wma downloads). I would like to synch to iTunes on the Mac iOS, but will need iTunes available in Windows to transfer the books I download in WMA format from the library to my iphone. Has anyone tried this? Any success or suggestions would be appreciated!

    In case anyone is interested, last night I installed Paralells, Windows, Overdrive Media Console on Windows, and then was able to download my book in WMA format. I was hoping parallels would allow me to crossover sync to iTunes on the Mac and have Overdrive recognize that I had iTunes open, but I had to choose Windows or Mac when connecting my phone through the USB and had to choose Windows in order for it to successfully transfer. I was able to get it to work it is now synced to iTunes in Windows. The nice thing was that it pulled in all my music/apps that I had set up in the Mac side, so I didn't have to go through that exercise again. I tested it on my old phone. Now I need to decide if I want to set up my current phone on Windows or Mac, it seems that once synched it only opens the device in windows, I haven't figured out how to force the choice between mac or window again. If I do windows, I can't take advantage of the cloud or iphoto/imovie directly. I'm totally new to mac, but I think I'll have to import my photos manually.

  • Widget, and Windows Trackpad question.

    Widget, Can I assess widget without having to going in dashboard? Like I can run widget standalone? How to install new widgets?
    TrackPad.
    Does the trackpad, double tap works in windows xp? Or the only way to click is by clicking the buttoN? Does the right click works when you put two finger tap?

    You know, there just may have to be some policy changes around here. There are a lot of us who are 1) new to mac, and 2) using windows and windows programs legitimately on an intel mac, specifically, the macbook. We have questions about using these programs on our macs, and I think it's understandable that we want to discuss them.
    I really like mac OS, and everything about the macbook. It's the best computer I have ever had. But why do so many people here feel they have to be so hardline about microsoft and any microsoft product? Don't be a microsoft hater! When people ask on this forum about using other 3rd party software -- adobe, WoW, etc.,-- on their macbooks, no one tells them this forum isn't for that!

  • Media Foundation Source or H264 / AC3 differences between Windows and Phone 8?

    I've got a working Matroska (MKV) Media Foundation Source for a Windows Store app (PC x86). It will play several different matroska files that contain H264 encoded video and AC3-encoded audio.  It even has seek support.  I've written the app
    as a HTML/typescript Universal app with the MF Source as a C++ dll. 
    The problem is that the same code will not work on Windows Phone 8.  I can play videos that don't require the external MF Source (i.e. MP4 files and AVI files) just fine on both platforms through my app, but the same MKV videos that played on an x86
    PC will not play on Windows Phone 8 (Lumia 920).
    I looked at the specs for the Snapdragon processor and it should be able to support both H264 at 720p resolution and AC3 (2-channel only).  So I don't know what else I need to do to get this to work on WP8.  The audio I'm trying to play is actually
    6-channel, so that made me wonder if it was failing because WP8 supports 2-channel max, but I would have thought the audio just wouldn't work and the video would play normally.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    *edit* - just to be more specific, I can parse the file and create the presentation descriptor without errors.  But when I finish opening the file and call the event for that, nothing else happens.  What is weird is that the javascript video player
    never throws the "canplay" event, nor does it throw the "error" event.
    Lee McPherson

    Thanks, not a bad suggestion to try. 
    On my Windows machine, I tried to get the MediaEncodingProfile via the createFromFileAsyc method.  With a known file type, it outputs all properties of the video and audio streams (bitrate, etc).  With an MKV file (container file with H264 video
    and AC3 audio), I only get the type and subtype properties. Everything else is zero or null.  This is because in my MFSource, I only set the type and subtype.  This still allows the video to play on my windows machine.  I assume the
    built-in MFTransform for H264 video-to-uncompressed video parses the stream to get the relevant information.  Likewise for audio.
    On Windows Phone, when querying the file's MediaEncodingProfile, I get the same result. This is telling me that my MFSource will parse the file properly and set the subtypes for video and audio correctly.  Everything else is still null or zero. 
    However, the file does not play.  There is no returned event to the video element that it even *can* play.
    Perhaps, I need to fill in the video and audio stream properties on the Windows Phone version.  I really don't want to because that would mean having to parse some of the underlying video and audio streams themselves, not just parsing the container
    information.  (More work!)  But this is what I mean when I ask about the differences between Windows and Windows Phone... perhaps the WP8.1 & Windows MFTransforms are different? 
    *EDIT* - I do get a JavaScript Console error that I didn't notice before: AUDIO/VIDEO: unknown MIME type.  (VS error code: MEDIA12899)
