Windows Vista & networking/file sharing

I have two PC's both running Windows Vista..one desktop connected to my WRT54G . .and one laptop connected wirelessly to my WRT54G. If I am on my laptop I cannot see the desktop and vice. How can I correct this so I can see each PC and then enable folder sharing?

Below is a link for file sharing, @

E4200 Slow Wireless download and Network File Sharing

When I first got the E4200 up and running I was able to transfer files from my wireless laptop to a wired laptop at speeds of over 2 MBps(distance was over 40 ft). Now I have both laptops running wireless and a desktop that is wired via ethernet to the 4200 router and network file sharing runs much slower. Right now network transfer speeds are around 500-550 kBps.
Wireless network speeds are being affected also. Wi-fi d/l speeds via Cisco speed test is usually 5-6x slower than my wired speed tests, with upload speeds being faster than the d/l speed(Laptop is only 2 feet away from router for testing). And sometimes the wireless d/l speeds will slow down all the way to .15 mbps.
Has anyone come across this problem and found a fix for it, or have some suggestions? The router settings are mostly default and I have reset it to factory defaults via web interface and tried power cycling. But nothing so far has worked. I would hate to have to return this router and go back to the wrt54g.

Ok, well I tried all these and changing the MTU down to 1365 made it run real slow, so I found out the optimal mtu and switched between auto and manual 1500, and auto gave me more consistent speeds. It does seem to be running a bit faster with the name change of the 5 ghz band, and changing the channel of the 2.4 ghz band(Name changing 2.4 band did not make any noticable differences).
Right now I am getting download speeds around 10 mbps on the vista laptop(wireless), while the windows 7 desktop(wired) and laptop(wireless) are usually around 5.3-6 mbps. File sharing between the windows 7 machines are 4.3 MBps and 2.9 MBps between vista laptop and W7 desktop. Upload speeds on all machines are around 7mbps.
I am happier with the more consistent speeds between all machines instead of really fast between just 2, but am confused to why the vista laptop is running faster and my upload speed is faster than the download speeds on 2 of my machines.

Network file sharing in Lion

I have some folders shared in Mac OS that was easily available to my other computers in network and guest OSs installed on virtual machine on Mac OS host but since I've upgraded to Lion sharing stoped to work "normally". I still can see my mac machine in network group but it no longer allow to connect as a "Guest", so I can only explore my shared folders having entered my Mac OS user login and password but doing that I get an access not only to shared folders but to the entire mac drive and all subfolders... How can I fix that and is it possible to use network file sharing in Lion as it was in SL and previously?

Hi Prashanth,
There are multiple ways to move content from fileShares to SharePoint.
Step 1: Create the SharePoint Information Architecture - create a site collection preferably chose a document center template, create document libraries and folders as per the network folder structure in your organization.
Step 2: Map your File Share as Network drive in your client machine, and same way map your SharePoint website document library as network drive too. Drag and drop files.
Note there are 2 issues for this approach,
1) your document metadata will be lost, the last modified by will change to the account with which you have logged into SharePoint while copying, and the last modified time will be changed.
2) Its a tedious manual approach if you have lots of files.
Now for retaining the metadata you will need to depend upon a 3rd party tools ( or this codeplex solution: http://f2sp.codeplex.com/ (I havent verified that this works with Sp 2013 or not).
Using 3rd party tools has the advantage of retaining metadata and any issues with file naming conventions will also be taken care of most of the prominent tools which otherwise needs to be taken care by administrator manually. - Note SharePoint has file
naming conventions - https://support2.microsoft.com/kb/905231?wa=wsignin1.0.
Also In order to reduce the effort in second step you can also create content organizer rules and map your drop off library as the drag and drop location.
finally do read this awesome blog post by Sean Earp and Andre Kieft before starting of with the project. http://blogs.technet.com/b/ptsblog/archive/2013/11/04/migrating-file-shares-to-sharepoint-online.aspx

Networking ~ File Sharing With Windows Vista

Alright, I've browsed enough of the web and I've tried a lot to try and resolve this issue, but none of it has worked at all for me. Here's my scenario about as specific as it gets:
I have a home private network consisting of two Windows Vista PCs, a HP Photosmart Printer, a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.9.1, and an iPhone 5 running iOS 7.0.4. The network is routed through a Medialink MWN-WAPR300N router connected to a Time Warner Cable modem which goes to the Internet. My primary PC, the MacBook Pro, and the iPhone 5 all connect wirelessly; the other PC and printer connects via Ethernet. All devices connect to the Internet flawlessly, and they are all assigned a static LAN IP address through the router because I portforward to one of my PCs, and the router requires it. The network was originally configured using one of the PCs as a Private network under the default workgroup, "WORKGROUP". Everything else router-specific is automatic.
Here's the problem: My MacBook and my primary PC do not communicate over the network at all. Both the MacBook and my primary PC can file share with the other PC connected via Ethernet, and they can both print just fine. After using LAN Scan v1.02 by Nutec Apps, LLC on my iPhone however, neither my primary PC nor the MacBook Pro shows up on the list of LAN devices. But that's not all, the MacBook Pro always recognizes the other PC via Ethernet in Finder, and the MacBook Pro can be found in both PC's Network list. However, when I try to connect to it via my primary PC, it says that "[My MacBook] is not a valid host name." What?
To futher satisfy my curious mind, I set up a small Peer-to-Peer network between my primary PC and the MacBook Pro via Ethernet. Both devices instantly recognized each other and connected without any issues. I was able to transfer files at approximately 100mb/s and I was stoked. I then disconnected and tried to transfer over the network again, and there was nothing there. I have even done ping tests over the network to the MacBook Pro's LAN IP address, and it came back with no response.
I've restarted both computers numerous times, played around with file sharing settings, set appropriate sharing permissions, disabled firewalls, enabled sharing for Windows on the MacBook Pro, enabled file sharing on the Windows PC, you name it. I'm sure there is a small fix that I may have overlooked, but I cannot figure out what the problem is for the life of me. Because the operation worked via Ethernet, and it's working wireless-to-Ethernet, but not wireless-to-wireless, I have a feeling that the problem is related to one or both of the wireless configurations.
Thanks in advance for any help provided, if there is anything I missed I will be happy to proivde more details per request. This issues has been bugging me for weeks now and it's time I seeked professional help

Alright, I am still having the problem and I have the results of the ifconfig command if it will be of any help to any Apple techies out there:

Cav-Mac:~ Drew$
The section in question is where it says bridge100 because the IP address listed under that section reads 192.168.2.1, as previously suggested. However another IP address is listed above it as 192.168.1.104, which is exactly what it should be as I have it assigned via DHCP in the router. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, because this is driving me crazy.
PS: I apologize for the confusion. I made a typo in my previous post about my MacBook's LAN IP address. It should be 192.168.1.104, not 103. I can confirm that it is listed as *.104 in my router and it shows *.104 on the above ifconfig. Please ignore the *.103, thanks

Windows 7 and Mac 10.5 network file sharing

I am having extreme difficulties sharing files over my home network! I have 3 PCs and one Mac. I have tried the Mac forums and the Windows forums, to no avail.
On the Mac side:
File Sharing is ON, with smb
Users are set to Everyone with read/write privileges
WINS has the correct Workgroup name
Network Name has no spaces in it
Shared my Desktop, Public Folder, Documents, and Shared folders (just to cover root folders and specific ones too)
Mac gives an smb://xxx.xxx.x.x address and a local network accession "mycomputername.local," but I don't know what to do with either of these things. When I put the addresses into the Windows Run dialogue box or in Internet Explorer, they don't seem to recognize the path.
Firewall is set to Allow All Incoming Connections
Under the Shared location in Finder, I can see my router name, and if I click on it, I can connect. No password is required. I am connected as my account name. However, I can't see the PC or anything at all, in fact.
Under the Shared location in Finder, I can see my shared name for my Mac. But I cannot connect to it, probably because I'm connecting from my Mac.
It would be nice to use the smb://DNSname/sharename or the smb://IPaddress/sharename function in the Go to Server window, but I have no idea where to find this information on my PC. Or on the network. Or whatever this is referring to.
On the PC:
Sharing is NOT password protected under Advanced Sharing Options
I am sharing my Desktop and My Documents with Everyone and Guest, and Windows 7 has provided a file://computername/Users/foldername path. However, when I put this into the Connect to Server or Connect to File window, there is an error.
I can click on my Mac computer name in the Network window, but I get the error message that it cannot connect (network path cannot be found, using \\MYMACNAME as the path). This is when my Mac says it is "connected" when I click on the router in Finder's Shared places.
Of course both the Mac and the PC have full connectivity to the same network.
Also, I have disabled the internal firewall in the Belkin router.
Also, my accounts have identical names with no spaces.
My Mac (10.5) DID successfully connect to Windows XP before I upgraded.
Any advice? Thanks guys!!
P.S. -- I have also posted to the Windows people here: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7network/thread/b5144e55-d024- 401c-85ae-1cf94226b786
In the hopes that I will double my chances of getting an answer.

And my response:
Okay, so here's what I've done:
OS X: did the sharing thing, smb thing, and directories thing.
Win 7: Network sharing settings are correct for Home or Work (current profile). I left my Public alone, but verified that my network is recognized as a Home location.
User accounts exist in both the Mac and PC. Names are the same. Heck, passwords match and I'm logged into the same account on each computer, just in case.
Firewalls are scary to me, so I did the best I could. I went to my browser, typed in my router IP address, and went to the DHCP Client List. Both of the computers were listed with their assigned IP addresses. I "reserved" those IP addresses so they the router would always assign that IP address to that MAC address (so I could count on it in the future). It turns out that they are sequentially assigned, so I figured that if I added any more devices (my other PC, the PS3, etc.) those IP addresses would just be +1 to the last digit cluster in the IP address.
Then I went to Windows Firewall, because I don't have a third-party firewall. I confirmed that I was connected to the Home network, and then clicked Advanced Settings. Wow, there's a lot of rules! There were multiple File and Printer Sharing rules (both inbound and outbound), so I didn't mess with them. Instead, I created a Custom Rule (bot inbound and outbound) for all programs, any protocols and all ports, and added the IP address range (192.168.2.1 - 192.168.2.9, giving myself plenty of extra for future devices) I found from above to the local and remote IP Address boxes. I specified to Allow the Connection for Domain, Public and Private, and gave it a name that started with A so I could find it easily in the future. Finally, I set the Interface Type to be LAN and Wireless (my PC is wirelessly connected).
In OS X, in the Firewall tab of the Security preference, I set it to Allow all incoming connections. File Sharing (SMB) is the first name on the list, but I cannot click on it or modify it in any way. I don't know what else to do. Am I missing something?
I've shared My Music and Desktop on the Win 7 for Everyone (not just the Homegroup!), and shared My Documents and Desktop for Everyone to read/write on the Mac.
Okay, now I need to reboot on both computers. brb...
Wow, definitely don't reserve any IP addresses on your router! I took that setting off, restarted everything, reset the modem and router, and I can now connect both computers to the internet.
I can still connect to the Windows via the Connect to Server dialogue and smb://AJPC.
In Windows Network, I can now see my Mac user account name, but when double-clicking on it I get the error message "Windows cannot access \\ComputerName. Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise, there might be a problem with your network. To try to identify and resolve network problems, click Diagnose." Under "Details," it says Error code: 0x80070035 The network path was not found." When I diagnose, Troubleshooting can't identify the problem.
Any advice? Thanks for your help guys!
A side note: I just checked my router's DHCP client list, and my PC is now connecting at 192.168.2.8, which is definitely not sequential. Good thing I specified the IP Address range all the way to 192.168.2.9 just in case; apparently the router can't count.

Vista 98se file sharing - risks worth it?

Vista Home Premium on wireless laptop and 98se on desktop, connected to WRT54G V8. Internet is working, fine. Is it worth it to set up a local network between the laptop and the desktop? Any risks? Vista said something about files now being public but is that so? Any more than public being behind the Linksys route to yet a Verizon Westell 2200 router/aDSL modem? I did this a long time ago. I have to turn on file sharing between the two. I notice Vista has a program to theoretically facilitate this but would it work with a 98se computer. Any places to read up on this? I need to set up NetBIOS and get familiar with \\ for files and printers and drives? Not really crucial since I can use a 4 GB USB drive or DVD's to transfer files. I'm just asking in advance because networks can be tricky. Thanks.

Okay, I can activated Windows 98se and turn on the Microsoft protocols, NetBEUI, like:
* Client for Microsoft Networks
* IPX/SPX Compatible Protocol > Network Card
* NetBEUI > Network Card
* TCP/IP > Network Card
* File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks
And I guess Vista might be able to see the 98se but then again, knowing Microsoft, they might play dumb.
Any risks here? For years I turned off all the above switches. Very few virus problems because I had little outside access. I kept the TCP/IP switch on for internet access I'm sure.
I can call Microsoft if this is complicated but then would probably tell me to OEM it. And their wizard should recognize 98se. It did not so hence my posting to this group. But I had not turned on NetBEUI so maybe that's why. I was using Vista's Easy Transfer. Maybe File and Printer Sharing pure might be better?
The FAQ's here don't address Vista but say to contact Microsoft. Yeah right.

Two Macs Networked, file sharing not working correctly

Okay, I've had a Mac Pro since February this year and it has been connected to a new iMac since about two days ago. Both computers can see each other on the ethernet network (their respective icons appear in the Finder sidebar). However, something weird is happening because not only are the correct "iMac" and "Mac Pro" icons showing, but also Windows "blue screen of death" icons are appearing also! These icons are named "mac001ffXXXXXXX" where XXXXXXX are a bunch of numbers. I can access the other computer's files by clicking on EITHER the official Mac icons in the sidebar, OR by clicking on the "blue screen of death" icons.
It should be noted that a Windows XP computer is also a part of this network. I currently have only the AFP sharing option selected (I did have both AFP and SMB, but I disabled SMB because Windows sharing is not really needed), but still the old Windows icon is appearing alongside the iMac icon -- both icons applicable to the iMac.
I believe this problem is connected to the file sharing issue I am having. While folders I have shared on the iMac can be seen by the Mac Pro, files on the Mac Pro for which I have specified Read and Write guest access to "Everyone" are not visible on the iMac -- the only way to access these files is to log in as a Registered User. I have tried a whole bunch of different things, but nothing seems to work. I was under the impression that communication between two Macs would be completely problem-free!
So is there something I am missing, or is it a Leopard issue?

A simple possibility is that you just don't have also have "Personal File Sharing" turned on for the Macs.
Otherwise, I bet it's on the PC end. Under windows filesharing (SMB), one machine will take control as the server. When there is a PC on the net, the Macs will generally cede that responsibility to the PC Try watching for that in the console log: take all the CPUs off the net, bring a Mac on, then the PC, open the "Console" app on the Mac, and look at the messages. If the problem -is- on the PC end, I'm sorry, but I'm not PC-savvy enough to tell you how to fix it. Hopefully, this will get you closer.

Windows 7/Windows Vista Network Printer Compatibility

I have Officejet 5610 USB connected to new PC running Windows 7 which is network host computer. Printer was previously connected to a host PC running Windows XP. My networked PC running Vista could print when XP PC was on. After I replaced XP PC with new PC running Windows 7, I haven't been able to get the Vista PC to recognize the shared printer. I've downloaded drivers and ran updates on both PCs. I've also uninstalled the printer from both PCs, reinstalled, ran updates, and still can't print from the Vista PC. Is Officejet 5610 able to be networked between Windows 7 and Vista?

Windows 7 host computer sharing printer with Vista 64 bit. Wireless network was working until recent updates (the culprit may be IE9).
Now Vista cannot find the printers on the network. It can see the printers on the Windows 7 host computer, but when I try to connect to the shared printer I get the message that I need to install printer. (I have reinstalled the printer drivers). When I click install printer the circle spins around awhile and I get the following error code. "Windows cannot connect to the printer. Operation could not be completed (error 0x000003e3).
Another weird thing going on. A couple of times I was able to find the printer when I was in the Vista Administrator account. I had to put in the password of the administrator account for the Windows 7 host computer. I then went to the Standard User, and did not have the connection with the standard user (the printers did not show up for the standard user.)
As soon as I logged off or restarted my Vista computer the printers on the Vista Administrator account were no longer available.
This is driving me crazy, and I have spent two weeks working on it. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

MacBook Proand Windows Vista networking

Hello, is there a way of sharing files in between Windows Vista and MacBook pro ( 10.4 ) ? Thank you

Try the software called MacDrive 7. This will allow Windows to read and write to the Mac partition. Mac can read an NTFS partition, but cannot write to it.

4 Macs different network/file sharing errors on all

Out of the box current generation Mini with Yosemite can access one old Mini with 10.7 and it;s attached 3 external drives. The externals no problem,the folders inside of that Mac’s home folder show restricted access on most. Two MBPs running Mavericks can fully access other Macs and their attached drives. None of those 3 Macs can access the new. It shows in “Shared” but displays “Not Connected” when attempting to open, none of the new Macs attached drives naturally are not accessible either. I’ve tried using my I.D. and get the login shakes, try Apple I.D. and get the same. When attempting to share screen with the new one on any of the others gives me the login prompt. That prompt will not take my I.D. or Apple I.D. I get an “Authentication failed to “……..” verify manx and password. The new Mini can not connect to the 2 MPBS running Mavericks the same login window comes up and get the same failed message when trying both I.D.s. Or it says not connected and I try the connect as. Nor can I sharer the screen of the new Mini. I’ve tried turning off sharing then reboot turn sharing on reboot, no luck.
Have gone into file sharing and added each folder and drive making sure that all users have read & write enabled on all of them. No luck. Have done the same thing on the 2 MPBS and still can not connect. The two MBPS are on the WiFi my network the Minis are wired to the network. Shared in the side bar only shows the new Mini and Others icon, click Others to get to network drives where I have attempted to connect. Attempting to access the new mini with old Mini gives me the “connection failed” message. So new mini can access old mini but with restrictions in Home Folder, old Mini can not access new mini in any way.
The other 3 Macs all connect to each other with both screen sharing and file sharing and never a problem. They just can’t connect to the new Mini. Firewall and FileVault are off on all Macs. I do not use Time Machine on any of them. The new Mini replaced one from the previous generation that runs Mavericks, that one has not been hooked up yet, still power off sitting on a shelf. Do not want to have a 5th problem yet, let me get the first 4 talking to each other first.
Did any of this make sense? Does anyone have suggestions. I have tried all things found here with search “file sharing”. Forgot to mention, on the new Mini the problem was there out of the box and remained after running the OS update.
Thanks

No need, I'm the only user and have myself set on all as admin. Never in all my near 30 years of networking Macs at home and managing my companies 600 or so Mac Network, with 68k, PPC, Intel units all running systems 7 - 8 - 9 -10 and all their mid versions and never had a lick of trouble with any sharing services. I've always just stuck them on the wire, fired up, and hit share, tick the boxes then Boom, all was seen by all. Same at home up till recently I had a G5 Tower as a server mixed in with all the intel, never a hiccup. The only troubles would be if a router or switch burned out. None of my iPhones, or iPods of various generations have had a problem with the home WiFi, the ones set up for disk usage have always shone up in the shared section of the sidebar, since have turned off disk usage so not part of the problem.
Thanks for trying though

Network File sharing in SharePoint 2013 portal

Hi Everyone

In August installed PE12 on Windows Vista with incorrect Sharing Preference for Email Client. Shows default Adobe Email Service How do I change it to Windows Mail?

Had PE6 previously to installing PE12 on Windows Vista. PE 12 installation went OK except for the Sharing Preference for the Email Client. Existing PE12 client is the default Adobe email service not the correct Windows Mail for Vista. How do I make this change..

Hi,
I think that for PSE 12, you may need to switch to Windows Live Mail
http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=29224
You may find that you then also need the following fix.
Freeze or error “There is no email program” | Share via email | Elements Organizer | Windows 7
I think that the problem is that the new versions of PSE do not know where to look for the mail client.

Time Capsule and Windows Vista network

Hi everyone,
Just looking for some advice/feedback.
I have recently purchased a MacBook Pro and love it. Now considering buying a Time Capsule - 3 reasons - extra storage space, allow printing from all computers, and ease of backup with Time Machine.
I currently have a DLink wireless modem/router that is wired to a Windows Vista PC, a windows laptop and the new Mac.
My question is: How will the Time Capsule fit in with everything? I am guessing that the DLink will remain wired to the PC, and the Time Capsule will be plugged into the DLink. Will I gain extra speed with the Time Capsule and how do I allow it to take over the wireless network?
Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Welcome to the discussions!
"When I try
to connect it sees the new network I set up,
but won't connect to the internet."
Are you saying that the Vista PC will connect to the wireless network, but can't get an internet connection, or it can see the wireless network, but can't connect?
If it cannot connect to the wireless network, is there an error message displayed? If so, what does the message say?

Windows 7 network file transfer absurdly slow

I know there are plenty of other posts about slow network file transfer. Here, elsewhere, I can't say I read them all but most are referring to slow down to 1MB/s.
I am getting <20KB/s.
If I transfer a very small file (less than 100KB) it would start quickly then slow down to <20KB/s. all subsequently network file transfer would be slow, a reboot is needed to reset this. If I transfer a large file it would be stuck on calculating for
a long time and then begin with <20KB/s immediately.
This is a fairly newly built desktop. Realtek gigabit on-board LAN of ASRock Extreme3 gen3. I have tested network file transfer to and from a Windows 7 laptop and a MacBook Pro, so I am fairly certain it is the desktop's problem. The slow speed only happens
with one direction, outbound from the desktop, regardless of whether I initiate the file transfer action from the origin or the destination. Inbound network file transfer and internet speeds are fine, so I don't think this is a hardware issue.
Remote Differential Compression is off. Drivers are up-to-date from ASRock's website. I am getting 74.8MB/s internet upload speed from speedtest.net (http://www.speedtest.net/result/1852752479.png). Inbound network file transfer I can get around 10-15MB/s.
I looked everywhere and can't find symptoms that fits my case well. I'd be cheering if I can get 1MB/s. Well, maybe not, but at this point it is more efficient for me to upload everything to the Internet and download them again than to use local file transfer,
which is just absurd.
I am hoping this community has some insight for me to troubleshoot this. I don't see anything obviously related from the Event Viewer, and beyond that I just don't know where else to look.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.

Hi,
Firstly, would you please try again to install the HotFix instead of disabling TCPAuto-Tuning and Windows Scaling heuristics via netsh manually.
If issue persists, please try following:
1. Test the issue in Safe Mode with Networking.
2. Disable "Large Send Offload".
How to:
1) Open an elevated command prompt and press Enter:
netsh int ip set global taskoffload=disabled.
2) Disable and re-enable the network interface or reboot your system.
3) Run the following command in an elevated command prompt to confirm the command above is successful:
netsh int ip show offload
3. Check the value of “Speed & Duplex” is Auto in Advanced Properties of the NIC. If not, please let us know your value.
4. Check if “Flow Control” is disabled in Advanced Properties of your NIC.
5. Go to your Start Menu, search for “Local Security Policy“ and run it as administrator. Under Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options.
1) Open “Network security:Minimum session security for NTLM SSP (including RPC based) Clients”,
unselect “Require NTLMv2 session security” and “Require 128-bit encryption”.
2) Do the same operation to “Network security:Minimum session security for NTLM SSP (including RPC based) Servers”.
3) Open
the policy “Network Security LAN Manager authentication level“. Locate and select the option “Send LM & NTLM – use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated“. Click Apply, and close out of all
policy management windows.
Hope this helps.

Home network file sharing

Hi,
I've recently lost the ability to view my photo's,music etc on my laptop using a freesat box and have a feeling its been missing since i changed my home hub 3 for another home hub 3 a while ago. When setting these up i seem to remember an option on the installation to allow file sharing on my home network? If this is correct how do i find out if its switched on and turn it on if not. I've been into hub manager but just find it anywhere? Thanks in advance, fish.

If w7 then go to network ans sharing and make sure sharing is enabled
