Setting up multiple PC's on 1 printer & network file sharing PART 1

[RyanStanberry]

Thanks for the info. I didn't watch the whole thing bc trying to listen to what you're saying over this repetitive music is irritating. I'd get rid of it.

[james25313]

@RyanStanberry ...yeah I stop doing it.

[gtsouljaa]

i have a question heses the situation we installed a firewall recently and it blocks most of my fav sites so i hook the fire wall up to a linksys router and all the other computers to the firewall except my computer which is the main computer i hooked that up directly to the router and i can browse any site i want problem is i have a shared folder on my computer that all the othe computers need to have access to but is not visible any more to them is there anything i can do abt that

[r4c3r10970]

i dnt see why you worry about your neighbors .. lets say i'm one of your neighbor it doesnt do any good if i can access to your printer even if i print the printer will be inside your house lol so.... whats the point of doing it ????

[james25313]

@r4c3r10970 ......if they can hack on network and use my printer they can also access my files too..... besides this not that big of a deal....I gotten 2 ppl that complain about it I just dont understand why u guys are complaining about this.. its irrelevant lol.....BTW I wasn't trying to be rude...

[MrAppKing]

Hi puppa daddy James

For the love of god please get rid of that music.

Otherwise good video.

[james25313]

@MrAppKing ...i dont have music on my newer video I stop doing that...

[ShrapmaElite]

Why did you block your pc name? The only way to access that is by being on the same network, but you can't do any harm unless you've prepared for it. And if your wireless network is password protected, then you're 95% safe.

[james25313]

@ShrapmaElite yeah I know. I was just making sure just encase one of my neighbors see this video... it doesnt hurt to be safe...

[ShrapmaElite]

@james25313 lol, well, that is true... and I do live in a neighborhood filled with wireless connections, and nearly everyone is password protected. I'm sure any one who doesn't have internet access would love to feast off of my network, lol.

[james25313]

@PoGixViRuS ...sorry can't help with mac don't know how

[floyd617]

for some reason it doesnt work for me. it says" (PC name) is not accessible. you might not have permission to use this network resource. contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions

[pcfix411]

james25313, Another point to consider. I like the video.

[james25313]

thx

[james25313]

@transform982002 yes a switch/ hub will do too I have a wireless router, and two switches so yes a switch do it too hope this helps..

[gypsydog2]

I'm waiting for a new computer to ship and it will have windows 7 should I wait until it gets here to do this it will be the computer wired to the router I have network magic my old computers have windows vista and xp

[james25313]

It would be best to wait.

Ok i got me a laptop today I cant do all this wireless can I, does this also work with file share? Thanks

[james25313]

[letseewhathappens101]

I have a router, wireless laptop, and a desktop thats not wireless the. laptop has windows 7 ande the desktop vista can i do this with vista and windows 7. And what i was asking was can my laptop be wireless and fileshare or does it have to be connected to a Ethernet cord.

[james25313]

yes it can be wireless to fileshare and yes to the windows 7 Question

[letseewhathappens101]

[james25313]

[Philosity809]

woot it works. subscribe

[james25313]

thx

[Jack3d3778]

Awsome Video, but one question. When i go to connect to the other computer and it asks for username and passowrd my main computer doesnt have a password on it.. but it still requires one what is the password?

[james25313]

2 ways to solve this 1 go to network and sharing center then turn off password protected sharing off. if that don't work then just setup a password on ur main pc

[thamer2k]

Thank you ....

You lost me here. I'm running XP and nothing resembles what your doing. Please walk me though on XP...

[james25313]

on the other computers, for xp go to star run type in cmd in the black window type in ipconfig copythe ip address should look something like this 192.168.... the when your other computer public files come up. click folder up button then make a short cut if u want

[pjspeter]

what is the dock he has on the desktop? is it rocketdock?

[daddyjames76]

no object dock also if you have a dell pc dell dock is another good dock

[carmadness11]

How far can i go without losing the internet connection?

[james25313]

wireless or wired not far for wireless wired can go a long way

I have a desktop with XP and a printer connected. I am trying to print to that printer from my Vista Home Premium laptop. Keep getting access denied even thought the workgroups is set up and I can see shared fiiles and the printer from my networked laptop. HELP.

[james25313]

did you try the thumb drive option that i suggest? thats how i got mine to work right.

[bellnative]

OK, here is my problem. I have a new HP Vista laptop and an older HP desktop using XP. I have the workgroup set up right and all the computer names set up. I can see the desktop's printer but when I click connect, it give me Access Denied.

I have tried everything I know. HELP!

By the way. Great video here. I know it is helping lots of people set up a network.

[james25313]

hey if you have vista home basic sometime it can be a b*tch to get it working right. try restarting ur pc. also if you have a thumb drive go to the xp computer and go to control panel then to network wizard setup and use the thumb drive(flash drive) option it will install the a setup config. and then stick it in the vista PC and then run the setup and then it should work. hope this helps.

[stevencp]

How do you get that taskbar/toolbar thats right above the original bottom toolbar?
