A wireless broadband router connected to internet access (example cable

modem) will provide access to computers connected to it (router).

 

ICS (internet connection sharing) can be used.  A laptop with access  to the

internet shares the connection - two computers can then access the internet

at the same time.  However the laptop sharing the connection must be on for

the other laptop to access the internet.

Kim,

Thanks, but since I am using a hotel's wireless network, and I do not have

the tools for dial-up I guess I will have to wait until I get to a different

server.

I am having the same problem.  I have two notebooks setting side by side.  My

old one running XP SP2 and the new on Vista -  Although I am sure I am

overlooking something I appear to have the Vista VPN connection setup the

same as the XP connection.   Any help would be appreciated.

Gary, I'm sorry you're experiencing problems.  There are some differences

between Vista and XP in the area of file sharing and permissions.  Please

review the TechNet article below and follow the recommendations, and then

please let us know if you're still experiencing difficulties.

I am having the exact problem you described. I tried every known work around

possible. This problem is really strange because I can access files from

other computers on the home network, but the other computers do not have

internet access.

I have a dual gigabit lan on my asus p5wdh deluxe. I receive the same

message on lan 2 that you do 'word for word'.

Hopefully someone can help?? Please?

Hi, I have exactly the same problem, did you find the solution yet?

 

My suggestions-

 

1. to have ICS working DHCP serving must be enabled on Vista computers

- it doesn't seem so, as my WinXP SP2 computer can't get IP from

Vista...

 

2. Everytime I turn ICS on it set the static IP (192.168.0.1), but on

the wrong adapter (the cable modem one)!!! The effect is the neither

Internet connection nor ad-hoc network works properly...

 

So - Vista Fan - for now turn the auto IP settings on for cable modem.

It should connect to internet. If you need network connection with

another computer - set IP manually on both. The problem is that at the

moment I cant get ICS working...

 

best regards

Yes,

The problem was the router. I bought a new linksys router and everything

worked fine. Apparently not all routers and hubs are compatible with vista

according to MS. I dealt directly with tech support.

Thanks, I will try that.

 

I was finally able to get it to connect and map a drive by using the

device's IP address. I noticed that when the password dialog would display,

Vista would insert the computer name\user id in for the user id.

You're welcome, Alvin.  The Home versions can't join a domain, which

is a type of network used mostly by large businesses, universities,

etc.  Perhaps that's what the dealer was thinking of.

 

FYI, here's a chart that shows the capabilities of the Vista versions:

I had given up on Vista during Beta testing because I couldn't find any

help in connecting to my Clarkconnect NAS box. I could see the box, the

shared folder, but personal folders were unavailable.

 

Not having secpol.msc available in Vista Home Premium was going to mean

I was going to have to rebuild my NAS with another OS.

 

With your regedit, I am now able to see  my individual folders. Thank

YOU!!!

 

One issue, I can't log into the NAS share without typing in the

computer name/workgroup that I belong to along with the share

name(example:Computer-Name.MSHOME\username). It is NOT a big problem

and thanks for not making me rebuild my NAS box!!!

I have the same issues with a d-link WAP.  The card and Vista operate at work

without issues (also on a dynalink but a 2200 and not the G700AP that I have

at home).

 

I followed this link but with no fix:

Let me know if you make any headway.  I supect that the routers that we are

running are not compatable with the new security running in Vista.

My vista computer will connect wirlessly if I remove all security.  When I

introduce TKIP it will not connect.  And it does not know why.

Seems to be some serious incompatibilities here. I can't even get it to work

with security turned off. Vista has no updates, and the firmware on the

router is the latest. I tried shutting off IPv6 as mentioned in another

thread, but still nothing. I'd rather not buy another router just to diagnose

the problem.

 

MS spent a lot of time telling people that Vista is better than XP - and

that its very stable, but the fact of the matter is that this functionality

works on every XP machine in my house with ease.

Fixed it! Forced an upgrade to new drivers on the RealTek wireless adapter.

Vista insisted that I had the newest, but I went to the Realtek website and

downloaded that latest version.

 

Hope this helps someone...

Folks, have you tried to uninstall or adjust your Firewall settings?  Tom, in

an earlier post, had the same issue, but adjusted OneCare through the

following steps and that seemed to solve his problem:

 

Windows Live OneCare ->

Change OneCare Settinge ->

Firewall connection tool ->

Tick relevant options (Network discovery, file and print settings,

etc) ->

OK ->

Advanced Settings ->

Change file sharing from 'Do not share files and printers" ->

OK ->

OK

 

Let us know if that doesn't help.

I have now fixed my problem.

Although the permissions were set to "everyone" you also have to go to the

security tab, click edit, click add, type everyone in the box, click apply

and that should fix the problem everyone seems to be having hopefully.

I think the error is coming from the PPP connection being set to require a

secure password.

Go into the VPN properties. (Just click 'connect to' and wait for the list

to appear. Right click on the VPN entry and choose properties. Choose the

'Security' tab. Untick 'use Windows logon' if ticked. Also untick require

data encryption if it is ticked. Try to connect. If those don't work you

need to go into the advanced security settings at the bottom and set it up

so that unencryted passwords are allowed (PAP). Keep a note of what you

tick/untick so you can put it back to how it is now in case none of this

helps!

I hope that helps.

Thanks. None of that worked. I have a computer running XP with the exact same

VPN connection settings as the Vista computer and it works fine. Oh well. It

is murderously inconvenient but not enough so to justify calling MS support.

I have deleted it and rebooted and it still shows "Identifying", I think that

might be the name it is trying to connect via, but I can't figure out how to

change it.  When I am logged in to the domain (the pw is cached) I don't have

the option to change it.  I can "customize" it when I am logged into safemode

with networking, but don't need to because I have full network functionality.

Is there a registry key I can alter or delete?  This is frustrating because

I have an MCSE and am completely lost with Vista.

Hello dtstoney,

 

First, have you tried temporarily disabling the encryption on the router to

see if the Vista machine will connect? If it successfully connects with

encryption disabled, then you know its your encryption settings.

Hello Eric,

The encryption on the router was disabled to start with and all 3 machines

were connecting. Since the router has been set to WEP with 128 bit encryption

the vista machine refuses to connect. I do belive as you say could be the

vista machine's encryption method. the vista settings are identical to the XP

setting so it should work.Any Ideas?

I had a similar problem with a Realtek integrated wi-fi (8185 I think??).

Anyways, the solution was to force a driver upgrade by downloading the

install package from the Realtek website. Vista thinks it has the newest

version, but it doesn't. Fixed the problem right away.

 

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info but this didn't solve the problem. I used both vista's

That's the same problem I am currently encountering.

Same version of Vista - Windows Vista Home Premiium.

I bought the laptop Jan.30 with the company supplier of Aspire 5610 series.

 

I have 1 network at home, with workgroup seted same on all my pc's.

 

I have spent over 8 hours oover the last few days trying to figure out the

probelm, and it haas brought to my attention that buying windows vista was a

bad choice.

 

 

I hope this problem could be solved ASAP. It is driving me crazy because I

have a presentation next monday, and I need to use this new Vista laptop - my

only laptop to do the presentation. The presentation is on my desktop, and I

don't have any usb flash drives.

I also bought an HP notebook on January 30, (with Vista Home Premium) and

have been trying ever since to install a network printer.  I'm logged onto

the network to the extent that I can access network programs, and the

internet works.  But, the new Vista notebook cannot see any other computers

or printers.  As long as I never need to print anything, I guess I'm in good

shape!

I've checked all of the obvious things, (workgroup name the same, sharing

turned on, etc) but since the setup screens for the networking are all so

much different, I must be missing something everytime.

Just go to here, and you need to install a software on Win XP to enable LLTD

The LLTD Responder is absolutely NOT REQUIRED for pre-Vista Windows

computers to interact with Vista via Windows Networking.

 

The LLTD responder is only needed if you want pre-Vista computers to be

properly placed in the Network Map window - the document at

http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsVista/en/library/409fb2fa-8eb8-45af-b063-4f50f5a77b291033.mspx?mfr=true

only discusses and only applies to, the Network Map feature in Vista,. not

any other networking capability.

 

If you can not access folder or printer shares on Vista computers from a

pre-Vista computer, or vice-versa, the problem is not the lack of the LLTD

Responder, it's something else.

 

You may need to enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP for TCP/IP V4 in the Network

Connection's properties:

 

1. right click the Network icon in the Notification Area

2. click Network and Sharing Center

3. click Manage network connections

4. make sure that Network Discovery is On (note - in a Windows Domain, this

may need to be enabled by an administrator using a GPO)

5. make sure that File Sharing is On

6. make sure that Public folder sharing is Off

7. if you have a printer locally installed that you want other computers to

use, make sure Printer Sharing is On

8. click Manage network connections (left pane)

9. right click the Local Area Connection (or whatever network connection is

in use - e.g. a wireless connection)

10. select Properties

11. click Continue in the UAC prompt (or supply Administrative username and

password)

12. select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)

13. click Properties

14. click Advanced...

14. select the WINS tab

15. select the Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP radio button

16. click OK; click OK; click Close - this change will take affect

immediately - no need to logoff or restart

 

Also, as stated in other posts in this thread and others - make sure you

don't have a third party firewall blocking the ports or programs needed

Kevin: I'm trying to reproduce your problem here and thus hopefully help you

out, but I'm missing some vital information.

 

1. is your XP computer running XP Home or XP Professional?

2. do you have Service Pack 2 installed on the XP computer?

3. what exactly does "xp machine shows up in my network" mean - where does

it "show up"?

4. what steps do you take to get the Error code 0x80070035 Network path was

not found?

 

5. If your XP computer has Service Pack 2 installed, check in the Windows

Firewall, Exceptions - does the File and Print Sharing item have a check

mark?  If not, add a check mark, close the Firewall dialog box, then try

again from the Vista computer.  If the File and Print Sharing exception is

disabled, the XP computer may not even respond to ping requests.

Dear Bob,

If you are using Norton or any other firewalls, turn it off, norton

firewalls are blocking network access as well.

 

That should work. Try a few times.

 

My Laptop came with norton, and when I disabld norton web browsing section,

everything worked.

 

Good Luck~! Bon Courage

Having sharing allowed and all the other required share/network settings

correct in Vista and XP machines I could not access Vista shared

foldews/printers from XP machines, however vice-versa I could. Now, after

three days I found the solution:

 

My Visata machine came with McAfee antivirus preloaded. Both the Windows and

McAfee firewalls were on. As soon as I disabled the McAfee firewall the

network sharing worked as intended!

 

Doing a little follow-up research, I then turned off Windows firewall and

re-enabled the McAfee firewall, as well as changed the security level setting

in McAfee. At this point I was back to the "no-access" problem so I disabled

McAfee firewall and re-enabled Windows firewall. The network worked like a

carm once again. Now I assume there is an exception check box like "Allow

network folder/pinter sharing" in McAfee's firewall like there is in windows

firewall if you are wanting to use McAfee's firewall instead. Also, this may

be the same issue if you have some other another firewall enabled.

Are you pinging the XP machine by computer name, by IP address, or

both?  Pinging by computer name uses NetBIOS.  Pinging  by IP address

doesn't.

 

It's possible that a hidden firewall on XP is blocking the ping.  Does

Windows Security Center show a firewall?  Some recent antivirus

programs (e.g. Norton, PC-cillin) include firewall components.

Hello Kevin,

 

Have you check any firewall on the XP machine either Windows Live OneCare or

a third party firewall?

Hello Luke,

 

Do you have a personal firewall such as Windows Live OneCare, Norton, or

ZoneAlarm installed on any of the machines? If so, you need to make sure you

have it properly configured. An improperly configured firewall can block

file and printer sharing.

Folks,

 

The networking team is investigating this now.  As soon as we have a steady

repro and a workaround, I'll let you know.  It shouldn't be long.

 

Thanks for your comments - they've been helpful.

 

We might come back and ask for some network logs.  Let me know if you're

willing to run some and send them in for debugging purposes.

 

Thanks again

Folks,

 

It would be very helpful if all who are experiencing this problem could work

through the steps contained in this Technet article written expressly for

this scenario.  The problem may be in the Workgroup name.

 

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/network/evaluate/vista_fp.mspx

 

Please let us know if this solves the drive access issue.

 

Thanks

Hello Kim,

 

I have tried this between Vista Ultimate and XP Media Center and I'm having

the same problem. I can sucessfully connect to a shared folder, but not a

shared drive without getting an Access Denied error message. Password

protecting sharing is also turned off on the Vista Ultimate machine. I also

tried executing the command, "net user account" to ensure the account was

active, as described in KB 308007.

 

It is unlikely a workgroup name that is causing the problem, as Windows can

support multiple workgroup names. I would be willing to sumbit any logs to

diagose the issue.

Dan,

 

I can assure you that you all have the Windows Consumer Networking team's

attention.  I work on that team.  We're sorry you're experiencing trouble.

We're working right along with you all trying to understand the issue better.

 

 

What happens if you log in under an administrator account and approve the

action?  Do you still have the same problem?

Dan,

 

In a more recent post, folks have found that turning off or uninstalling

their firewalls helps solve the problem; or if they're running OneCare, they

change the following setting:

 

Windows Live OneCare ->

Change OneCare Settinge ->

Firewall connection tool ->

Tick relevant options (Network discovery, file and print settings,

etc) ->

OK ->

Advanced Settings ->

Change file sharing from 'Do not share files and printers" ->

OK ->

OK

 

My thanks to Tom for this!

I have a similar problem to those descibed in this thread except I have

created a dual boot so that I can still acccess those programmes that aren't

yet Vista Compliant. I have the additional problem that I can't access the

applications that reside on my XP Tablet partition, it says 'this prgramme

has not been installed for this user, please run setup ...'

 

I would rather not have to install 2 copies of Office as on a Laptop, space

is a premium

Having sharing allowed and all the other required share/network settings

correct in Vista and XP machines I could not access Vista shared

foldews/printers from XP machines, however vice-versa I could. Now, after

three days I found the solution:

 

My Visata machine came with McAfee antivirus preloaded. Both the Windows and

McAfee firewalls were on. As soon as I disabled the McAfee firewall the

network sharing worked as intended!

 

Doing a little follow-up research, I then turned off Windows firewall and

re-enabled the McAfee firewall, as well as changed the security level setting

in McAfee. At this point I was back to the "no-access" problem so I disabled

McAfee firewall and re-enabled Windows firewall. The network worked like a

carm once again. Now I assume there is an exception check box like "Allow

network folder/pinter sharing" in McAfee's firewall like there is in windows

firewall if you are wanting to use McAfee's firewall instead. Also, this may

be the same issue if you have some other another firewall enabled.
