    Sharing network printer problem

    I had set all folders on both computers to be shared & from the W7 computer I can see & access the XP computer & folders. It's the reverse that's the problem. I've also tried to give/set security/access rights to all the users & accounts on both machines. I am Administrator on both however when...

    Sharing network printer problem

    I have them in same workgroup (I think!). I've tried them as "workgroup" and "homegroup" which is another rather confusing W7 scheme but neither worked. When I right click it shows properties, etc set to be shared & listing the name of the printer. I've tried it with a location set...

    Sharing network printer problem

    This printer is "network ready". Yes. When printer is connected to either machine it works/prints properly. I'm not sure about that. It showed DOT4_001 whatever that means. I set it to LPT1 to test & that didn't work either. Print spooler seems to be running on both. I've got both...

    Sharing network printer problem

    Unless I can get it recognized over the network it won't matter what type of connection I use.

    Sharing network printer problem

    Printer is connected to PC1 via USB. Both PC's to router via ethernet. It was initially DOT4_001 but I also tried LPT1 which didn't work either.

    Sharing network printer problem

    I've been treating it as a network printer but idk. I cannot find an IP address for it if has one.

    Sharing network printer problem

    I don't know quite how to explain all the steps I've tried so far because there are so many of them but basically I have tried every avenue with no luck. Ran network & printer troubleshooters which led nowhere. This is a 2 computer home network through a router (wired) trying to share...

    Wireless keyboard not recognized at boot up

    Aaargh. I was afraid of that. What an (unnecessary) pain. I might network the 2 PC's together w/ a router so can share the same internet connection. Never done it before but I doubt even on a home network you can "see"/control a 2nd computer through another to utilize the same keyboard? (Other...

    Wireless keyboard not recognized at boot up

    Idk the mobo - some random stock Dell pre-installed one. I tried in more than one usb port but perhaps not every single one. I can give them all a try...

    Wireless keyboard not recognized at boot up

    Unsure where to post this - I don't think it's a hardware issue but rather a mobo/bios/usb issue. Anyway, here goes: Trying to replace a PS/2 wired keyb/mouse with a Logitech MK710 Wireless keyboard & mouse (w/ one unified usb receiver). Initially w/ only the wireless receiver attached got...

    Could I pare down this build?

    I'm not sure about tackling it myself at the moment. I was able to configure something a quite a bit different but in between Prav & Danny Bui's ideas at Avadirect for a pretty reasonable price ($1213.56) - Item Code: DGS-I7-Z77SLICFX. I just kept the "default" MoBo they used. Though pieced out...

    Could I pare down this build?

    Yes, I thought I could get Win7 cheaper elsewhere. Any video/audio work is hobby - creating DVD's, menus, some video conversions, etc. Someone had mentioned bumping PSU up from a 650W which I had initially if I was to run 17-3770k & a discrete GPU. As to MoBo I'd have to take your word on that...

    Could I pare down this build?

    You mean get a "moderately fast system" from Avadirect (or elsewhere) in order to be closer to the $1,200 range? $400 is a big variation from "horribly built" to "built well". Cyberpowerpc must really be low-balling their prices somehow.

    Could I pare down this build?

    I am leery of CyberpowerPC or iBuyowerPC but I tried Puget & anywhere near the same system was waayyy pricey so I abandoned it. I'll have to look into some of the others you mentioned. I was trying to get a better system than just buying a ready made Dell for instance. A similar system...
