Re: Trying to connect two computers to the internet at the

Date:

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.

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...

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

according
to MS. I dealt directly with tech support.

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:

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

Re: Vista/XP file sharing problem.

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.

Re: VPN Connection...failed. The error...is 734.
Date:
02/06/2007 13:08:27
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.

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

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.

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.

Hi
Bill,
Thanks
for the info but this didn't solve the problem. I used both vista's
drivers
and the realtek's drivers but no joy.

Here
are a couple of links that should solve your problem. Run kb922120 on
the
XP machines and change your Vista machine's
workgroup to match the XP'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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.
