If this resolves the issue, then you may have to update the security software. Note: On disabling antivirus and firewall, any virus or malicious software may enter into the system. After performing this troubleshooting step enable the security software. Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. Praseetha has since responded with a post that should work for the issue you posted. E ven I uninstalled the programs and the error remained.
Have a look at scjwomg's post and see if his solution works for you. Let me know the result! I have since responded with a post that should work for the issue you posted.
This thread contains an unconfirmed solution by the original poster and has been left unanswered. Microsoft Support will no longer attempt to contact the original poster. Sharing connections: File sharing is activated with 40, 56, or bit encryption. Password Protected Sharing: Only users with the correct password can access shared resources.
As I mentioned before, a workgroup consists of PCs and devices connected to the same network, and it helps share files and resources like printers and external hard drives. Of course, to share files and resources, all the PCs should be connected to the same workgroup. Before creating a one, make sure all the computers connected to the same workgroup have unique names. If two or more computers attached to the same workgroup have the same name, issues or conflicts will arise.
If the Workgroup name entered is current, there will be a confirmation message and Windows will prompt you to restart the system. Before sharing anything, make sure network discovery, folder and printer sharing, and public folder access are turned on in Advanced Sharing Settings.
After turning on both network discovery and file sharing, all computer systems, and devices connected to the same workgroup will become visible. A computer can leave a workgroup, but at any moment of time, it should always be connected to a workgroup.
The purpose of a homegroup is to help share files and printers on a home network. If this is the first time you are creating a homegroup, Windows will notify you of the same. Click on any of the default libraries or printers that need to be shared. A password for the Homegroup will be automatically created by Windows. Click on Finish. If a Homegroup is already present, Windows will not give the option to create a new one.
The only way to have multiple homegroups is through various networks. For instance, I have two Wifi connections at home so that I can have two Homegroups for each of them. If there is already a homegroup created on the network, Windows will let the user know when the homegroup tab gets opened. Enter the password, select all the resources that need to be shared and click on OK. As mentioned before, Windows automatically creates a Homegroup password, but any PC on a Homegroup can change this auto-generated password.
But, if the password gets changed, all participating PCs will have to rejoin the homegroup and enter the new password.
Go to the homegroup control panel. Click on Finish to complete the process. Through homegroup, all selected Windows libraries are shareable with users. With workgroups and homegroups, files and folders become shareable with users on different computer systems, connected to the same network. As mentioned under user accounts, different users can access the same PC with different login credentials, and each one of them will have varying levels of access.
To share files with different user accounts, we just have to follow the same steps we did, when sharing files in a workgroup. Go into the drop down menu, and all other user accounts on the System will be listed here. Click on Read to select the level of access. Click on Share. Having worked as a Software Engineer, mapping network drives was half of my job.
But the process seems so easy and complicated, at the same time, that I never thought it could be used for personal computers too. And that is precisely why mapping network drives is a good idea! Since more than one computer can map a drive, shared drives can become a common resource among multiple PCs on a network.
Click on Map Network Drive. That is why, the format to be used when mapping a network drive is:. So, if the folder is called Media and it is present on a Computer with a name Admin2, then the path will be.
This option automatically maps the network drive whenever the computer system is turned on again. Leave this option unchecked if mapping a network drive is only a one-time thing. Click on OK and the drive should be mapped. All mapped drives will now be accessible under Network Location in My Computer. While both methods are easy to use, the one you choose will depend on the type of operating systems installed on the connected PCs.
If all the computers have Windows 7 or above, then a printer can be easily shared by creating a homegroup. But if even one of the computers has a version lower than Windows 7, then the best option will be to share a printer directly over the network. Image 1 of 4. Image 2 of 4. Image 3 of 4. Image 4 of 4.
