Network Frustration?

First off thanks for looking at my question:





Now here whats happening:


two computers 1 desktop, 1 laptop---





I've run the set up Home network on both and made sure the computer names are different and the workgroup name is the same. When I share the folder (by right clicking and ticking the boxes) it appears on my desktop network but not on my laptop.





On the desktop if I click view worgroup computers I can see my desktop and laptop folders, if I click laptop and try to open a file I get: (file) is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact admin of this server to find out if you have permissions. Access is denied.


On the Laptop: if I click view workgroup computers, I get (workgroup) is not accessible (same message as above). The network path was not found.


Both pc's connect wirelessly to a BThomehub so I'm wondering if this is the problem as I set this up before using wired access for the desktop and wireless laptop.


Help thankyou!

First off, check to make sure your firewalls on both machines are allowing "File and Print Sharing". Are you assigning static IP addresses, or are they assigned through DHCP? It helps too to make sure that you have the same username and password on both machines.

TEENick Network?

Since the current Nickelodoen has so many more animated programs than live-action programs I had an idea. Nickeldeon should revamp the regular Nickelodeon channel into a TEENick Network. While TEENick doesn't have that many shows currently, the network could also air shows that have been aired on TEENick in the past as well. Some examples: Clarissa Explains It All, The Secret World of Alex Mack, Kenan %26amp; Kel, Taina, Cousin Skeeter, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, All That, The Adventures of Pete %26amp; Pete, The Brothers Garcia, and more. The network would also include current shows: Ned's Declassified, Drake and Josh, Zoey 101, Just Jordan, and Unfabulous. All of the Nicktoons would be moved to Nicktoons Network. There would then be two completely separate networks. One would focus on Nicktoons while the other would focus on live-actions shows. It's a little out there, but what do you think?

TEENick Network?
I love the idea!!! I love the cartoons and i love the live action shows too and that would be perfect to have them seperate. Having the old shows on too would make it even better because those shows were so good that they still deserve to be on once and a while, even if there are no new episodes. I also miss the Amanda Show and All That. U should try and find some way to pitch that idea to nickeloden! I'm behind u 100% dude!! %26lt;3Hunter
Reply:i think that's a great idea i would do that cuz that's one thing we truly need
Reply:I totally agree if they get like a couple more TEENshows then there could deffinately be a TEENnick channel of its own. that way I wouldn't have to watch spongebob waiting for Unfabulous or Zoey 101 to come on T.V. that would be so fab. they just some funding and more shows
Reply:hahaha u STILL watch nick!! im 11 and i stopped watching that i watch MTV. i hate cartoons! i hate nickeldeon!! go watch barney if u still watch nickeldeon
Reply:I think this is an awesome idea! when i was younger i LOVED all that, and are you afraid of the dark? and i would tottally watch them again and i know my friends would to! the shows they have on TEENick now SUCK though, it is a good idea to separate the 2
Reply:its a little out there like you said but. i agree. except like you said, they need more shows! youd make millions if you took that to the real world and it worked. dont forget to give a million dollars to me =), lol. im just kidding!
Reply:This is a little out there, but I kinda agree. I remember those shows you are talking about and would love it if they came back. =]

Network Drive, help?

A week ago I mapped a network drive on my desktop computer, (Dell Dimension 5150) and the drive letter was 'N:'. I went into My Computer and there is was under Network Drives, that was all completely fine. So next I got my laptop and set-up both computers so they connected on a 'Peer-to-Peer' network, so that I could share an internet connection, that was all fine as well. But my problem is, when I went into My Computer and the drive 'N:' was no where to be seen, why is this? Do I have to set anything up to be able to see it?





I have run through the Network Set-up on both computers and both computers were switched on when I tried to do this.





Thanks, Jamie.

Network Drive, help?
Try switching the drive letter, if something else has the same letter neither will show up.

Wireless network won't recognize home network?

I have two laptops and two desktops. All 4 systems are able to share the internet at any time, but only the two desktops are able to share files via the "Shared files" folders. All firewalls are disabled, antivirus is disabled, and anything else I can think of. I have ran the network Setup wizard countless times, all to no avail. All of the systems are on the "WinHmNetwork" workgroup, but when I browse all systems in Network Neighborhood, nothing shows up on the laptops and only the two desktops show up on the desktops. How do I share files with a laptop?? All drivers are updated / current, all are on an unsecured wireless G network, and bios / motherboard is fine. Why won't the wireless networked items see anything else, even though they can surf the internet? Oh, and I have a wireless router with no firewalls. PLEASE HELP!!!!

Wireless network won't recognize home network?
You didnt enable file and print sharing on the two that you cant see! You can enable this in add network components! You with then see a sharing tab when you right click folders.
Reply:can you please mention whether they are connected through a lan or wireless network.





if wireless then you need to buy wireless supporting cards for your desktops to show your laptops which are presently on wireless network. try surfing one laptop on other.if it works that means that you have not installed a wireless device on the desktops.





better to connect through lan cables as it is cheaper compared to the wireless devices
Reply:maybe because your laptops connect via wireless router? and you need to enable it in router settings?








p.s. Dr. House i think he knows what's he doing to forget that..

Network Problem?

Hi, I am trying to make a network between 2 computers and somehow or another I can't make the connection. Now I tried all these possibilieties:





1) Same network name


2) Auto IP


3) Windows firewall off


4) Zonealarm firewall off


5) Network cable ok and network card ok





Can someone please tell me if I need to check something else? Thank you

Network Problem?
how are you connecting the PCs? if your using a switch or hub then use straight through cables, if your connecting them directly to eachother, you need a crossover cable,
Reply:You may have tried to see if they are in the same Workgroup.





Ensure that file sharing is enabled in your neywork tools.
Reply:run the windows network wizard on BOTH computers. it's on the control panel.





use the "other" option on the first choice selection window, and "direct connection to another computer" on the second
Reply:Are you using a router or straight cable connect? If cable connect, then you need what's called a null ethernet cable, also known as a crossover cable.

Good luck!

Network problem?

i have two computers on this network a laptop running wireless and a desktop running wired. the desktop was working fine then all of a sudden it just quit accessing the network, ive tried repairing and it says cant renew network address and when i restart it just says aquiring network address and then itll say limited or no activity, ive reseted the router, cable modem and everything nothing seems to work.

Network problem?
Try using a different cable from the router to the PC, try plugging the cable into a different port on the router, and finally try replacing the network card. If the network card is an onboard port, add a different network card.

Network card speed?

i use 3com 3c900b-TPO but it seems to be slowing down the internet. I had realtek network card and it broke so my friend gave me his old network card which is 3com 3c900b-TPO but it is soo slow compared to previous network card. Also the speed says 10mbps but my old one used to be 100mbps. My downloading speed also decreased too. I'm thinking of getting a new faster network card. Any suggestions?

Network card speed?
The card your friend gave you is a 10mb card. Go to the store and buy a new card. ANY card would be an improvement. I generally am a fan of Intel and Broadcom. Linksys has been good for me as well.
Reply:Try Linksys. I have had very good luck with ALL their products.
