Windows 7 network

I've recently upgraded to Lion (10.7). I used to have all 3 of my computers on file sharing (2 windows 7 and 1 Mac OS X Lion). After upgrading to Lion, I lost the connection from my windows to my mac. however, my mac can still see my windows computers. does anyone have an explanation and a solution. thanks..

Hi, I have recently updated to Lion and I seem to be having the exact same problem as you. My newtwok includes 2 external hard drives connected by USB to my mac. I have a separate lap top running windows 7. One external hard drive is formated as Mac OS Extended Journaled and the other MS-DOS (FAT). I also have a first generation Apple TV which I run Boxee off to stream media from the drives.I am still locked out of Boxee but I have been able to get my network partially running. The windows computer can now see all shared folders on my Mac and on the drive formatted via the Mac OS extended journaled. I found instructions on the following webpage which were most useful:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itpronetworking/thread/6bcef1 0f-7ff5-44a4-9d27-9cc5f5938f6a
For some reason I am locked out of changing the settings on the other external drive. I am considering backing up and reformating this drive (I have not done this yet).
The other issue I have found is that the printer connected to my Mac is no longer recognised by the Windows computer. I have tried Bonjour for Windows but it has not found the printer. I have a second printer which is wireless and it has been unaffected.

Firefox crashes on Windows 7 when printing to a Windows 7 network printer.

On Windows 7 running Firefox 3.6.10, I cannot print to a Windows 7 network printer. Firefox crashes every time as soon as I hit print.
However, the situation is very specific. I can print from Windows XP using Firefox 3.6.10 to a Windows 7 network printer. I can also print from Windows 7 using Firefox 3.6.10 to a Windows XP network printer. The only situation that doesn't work is using Firefox and printing from Windows 7 machine to Windows 7 machine.
Firefox is also the only program that does not print. I can print using Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, MS Word, MS Excel, and every other application just fine. Firefox is exclusive in that it is the only program that crashes and refuses to print. The drivers that are being used a PostScript drivers.
I have tried multiple versions of Firefox from older ones to the Firefox 4 beta and the program crashes every time.
Again, the only time it crashes is printing from a Windows 7 client computer to a Windows 7 network printer. Printing from XP to Windows 7 and from Windows 7 to XP works.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. The only program I've noticed the problem with is Firefox, so I'm assuming it's a problem at the application level.

Looks like a Windows problem, but not restricted to Win7 or 3.6.10 - there's one on Vista SP2 with Firefox 3.6 and another with 4.0b6 on Win7.

Are you using DHCP to allocate IP addresses via your router or Static IP allocation?
You may have an IP conflict in your network.
Check on your various network configuration parameters in your iPad, PC and WiFi router.

Transition from Windows-based network to Linux-based

I am looking to make the switch from a Windows based network to a Linux based one. Currently the network includes a Windows 2003 server which acts as a domain controller and file server, a network shared printer (Canon 2300N) and 7 clients running Windows. Several other Windows-based clients connect remotely via RDP.
I would like to setup a server to act as a domain controller, file server, and (if possible) terminal server. The clients should be authenticated via the server and have access to the files stored on it (via ssh?).
Here are several points that I was wondering about:
All the clients use Outlook, some of the clients run Quickbooks Pro and another program called Tentant File Pro. I was thinking about replacing Outlook with Thunderbird (I contact, calendar, and tasks) and I know that Wine can't run Quickbooks and Tenant File Pro so I may have to use VirtualBox/VMWare because these applications can't be replaced by native Linux versions.
I need an adequate backup solution for the files on the server running as a daily backup.
Should I use webmin to administer the server?
What antivirus / firewall solution should I use for the server and the clients?
How can I allow remote clients the login to the server to be able to run applications (Outlook, Browser, Tenant File Pro, etc.) remotely on the server?
What is the best solution for this? And what would be the least painful way of making the transition for the users?
I know this is a lot, but any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Probably not Arch if you just want to dump all these questions on the community rather than research it all individually yourself.
Perhaps Turnkey Linux would be suitable to get you up and running:

Need help connecting a windows network printer to my Mac (Xerox Phaser 3600) over a windows home network

Need help connecting a windows network printer to my Mac (Xerox Phaser 3600) over a windows home network.
My Mac runs lion and the windows desktop runs Windows XP
I have tried for a few hours or so to connect my mac to this printer over a home network.
For your information it does work when connected directly to my mac using a USB Cable.
If there is no soultion could I have help getting the drivers for a Dell All-in-One Photo 926

In most cases you can connect to the Windows shared printer from the Mac. But there is a dependence on the Mac driver being compatible. For many consumer inkjets, the vendor created driver cannot be used for this type of connection so you need to look at alternative drivers, such as Gutenprint or PrintFab. If you can tell us which brand and model of printer you have shared from Windows then we can answer your question with the preferred procedure on the Mac.

Slow Windows-based network devices (smb) discovery?

Hi
I've noticed a problem with accessing windows file shares.
After a successfull boot of my mac it takes around 5-10 min for macOS to detect my windows computer on network.
This is very long time and i cannot access the shares without waiting.
I've read a lot about issues with samba and apple's samba's custom implementation however i've found no working solution for my case.
Has anyone experience similiar issues with slow windows devices network discovery?

I am experiencing the same issue... I was searching the whole afternoon but until now unable to find a solution...

How do I integrate Ipad2 into a Windows Home network?

I have a Windows home network setup consisting of a number of computers running Windows Vista and Windows 7. I need to integrate my newly purchased IPad2 into this network; at the very least, I need to access the network printer.
Thanks in advance,
s660117

The only way to get your iPad into your network is if your network has wi-fi. You configure the iPad for a wi-fi network in Settings/Wi-Fi.
To print to your printer it needs to be an AirPrint printer. If not you may be able to print to the printer if it is USB and connected to one of your computers or your network's router. To print to a USB printer, you may be able to use an iOS printing app, available from the iTunes App Store or by installing AirPrint on the computer.
Install AirPrint on a PC;

I have a new Macbook pro and need to run some Windows software, it appears "Parallel" should work well from what I've have read. Will I have any issues or problems accessing and printing from various printers on my Windows 7 network within Parallel?

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List

Conflict with WRT160N and Windows Wireless Network Connection

I have a WRT160N router connected to a Verizon FIOS cable modem with five computers (all Windows based) wirelessly connected to the N router. Four of the computers auto detect the N router connection when the computer starts up using Windows Wireless Network Connection and operate well. One of the computers, which is the only one running Easylink for router configuration, will not connect through the Wireless Network Connection. I have to use Easylink to manually connect. The WNC gives a msg that Windows cannot configure this wireless connection and to configure the wireless connection using Wireless Zero Configuration service. When I configure WZC correctly the WNC sees all available networks and allows me to select the Advanced Wireless checkbox to allow Windows to connect to the wireless network. However, when I reboot the computer none of the configuration parameters are saved and I am back to manually connecting using Easylink and going through the entire process again. Any suggestions? Thx

Uninstall the EasyLink and connect manually. I think EasyLink 3.0 or later is coming soon ..

Can I add my mac book pro onto my Windows based network?

Hi everyone! I just got my Mac Book Pro a couple of weeks ago and let me say, its my first mac computer ever. I love it! I have a windows wireless network, and I can connect to it wireless with no problem. The only thing I can figure out is how to use my printer connected to my windows machine. I dont know if you can add a network printer on a mac like you can on a pc. Can someone help me out?
Thanks in advance.

If your priter is a network printer then it should be connected via ethernet or wifi to your network with an ip address....yes mac computers can print using network printers..
now you said your printer is attached to your computer which means you do no have it on the network... you may have it shared to your workgroup.
mac's are able to connect to xp workgroups (not sure about vista).. i will attach the link to how to attach a mac to your windows workgroup..(its pretty much attaching yourself to the network with user name and pw)

Multiple windows open in safari when click on web site. Also can't change/edit DNS servers or any other changes in advance window of network tab

macbook pro
osx - mavericks
multiple windows open in safari when click on web site. Also can't change/edit DNS servers or any other changes in advance window of network tab.
Basically every time i click on website other windows open and get redirected to other websites selling something (same as that mackeeper site which seems to open often) Really ***** as in just a few minutes on the web I have many windows open and many are the same pages. Can't make changes in the advanced tab of network as options are greyed out and the + & - symbols do nothing when clicked. Hope there is an easy answer as surfing net is really sucking right now

I hope to get some more info on a similar situation.
I have a new Mac Pro, less than 2 months old. OSX 10.5 updated to 10.5.2. Quicktime updated too. When I use the Desktop and Screen Saver system pref, I can easily select and use one of the Apple supplied desktop pictures as a desktop background.
But I wish to use a Photo from an iPhoto (iLife 08) folder / album as the desktop background. I can find all the albums, I can see all the icons for the pictures, I can select an iconed pciture and it appears in the top left of the preference pane (showing the effect of "fit to window" or "stretch to fit", etc). But all I get is a pale blue screen (which might be my default desktop colour). I don't get any of my iPhoto album pics to appear as a dektop background.
There is one minor note on this, I don't keep the pictures in my iPhoto Library, I just reference them, and the originals are on a different internal disk.
I've tried the suggestions above, trashing finder and desktop plists, killall Finder, etc. restart. Nothing gets it working again. It did work originally, for most of the time I've had the Mac Pro, then I changed the dektop to an Apple supplied picture of Earth.
This affects both an Admin, and a standard user. The photos (and enclosing folders) are read / writable by the admin user, and readable by the Standard user. Both users can easily access the photos in their iPhoto. They open the original files on the second internal drive, and performing a right click - Show File shows the original file as expected. I've even emptied the iPhoto library completely and rebuilt it, just in case there was an issue here.
Any ideas ? or anyone else seen this ? I don't really want to start reformatting disks and reinstalling the OS, but any suggestions short of this are extremely welcome.

How to connect the Airport Extreme to Windows 2003 network?

Hi there,
I recently bought an Airport Extreme. I plugged the wired cable to the Airport that previously was in my MacBookPro and gave me access to our Windows network.
What do you need to do in order to access the Windows 2003 network from the Airport Extreme?
Thank you very much in advance your help!
Wildeagle

Thanks Tesserax!
for your support..
I changed it the way you told me..
it is very simple... and sounds very logic..
But after I did changed it in the correct IP address of the server
and I changed the IP address of the Internet Router (this was a must concerning the AP utility)
1> the internet was slown down..
2> the server was not reconisable by the iMac.. he gives the server a PC status ?!?!
3> the connection was poor and was not found in the AP network
very strange so I changed it to the old version
is there really no option?
perhaps with the DHCP? or with the Internet router?
FYI
I have:
1: Internet/ connected with a HUAWEI router, recieved from my internet provider
2: connect the Huawei router with the AP Extreme Router
3: connect the AP Extreme router with the Server NAS
4: AP Extreme router is the basis.. and from there I do have an Apple Airport Network

Adding Airport Express to Existing Windows Wireless Network

My fiance has an existing Windows wireless network. I have an Airport Express I want to add to the network so I can "broadcast" my iTunes (or her's) through a powered speaker system in another room?
My question is...is that possible? And if so, how?
I've tried running my Airport Setup Assistant and restarting the Airport Express to no avail and would appreciate any suggestions.

Connect to the wireless network connected to the net (ie the (so-called) Windows wireless network**.
Having hard reset the Airport Express, run the Assistant and configure a new base station and configure it to connect to the existing wireless network.
** There is no such thing as a Windows wireless network, as 802.11b/g is the same standard used by Apple and other wireless router manufacturers, it is not Windows specific in any way.
