Error when linking to networked printer

0

Getting error: 0x000005b4 when I attempt to add a printer to a WIN 8.1 system that is networked to the printer via a WIN 7 system.  I can see the printer from the WIN 8.1 device, driver is present; however, when I attempt to "Add device" or "connect" to the printer I get the above error. 

Note, I am a novice user not a "pro".

thanks,

WebDav using https fails with network name cannot be found.

0
0

When I attempt to connect to a Webdav server from a Windows 8.1 box it fails with
System Error 67 has occurred.
The network name cannot be found.

I am using the net.exe USE command with the following syntax:
net.exe use Z: https://dav.DomainYaya.com/  <PASSWORD> /user:USERNAME

This exact syntax works for Windows 7.
I have more than one Windows 8.1 box where this fails.

There are various suggestions found all over the internet for various other situations. They do not apply or do not work.
For example, you will find an issue involving sending Basic authentication over http where there are suggestions about changing HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\WebClient\Parameters

That does not work. There is also discussion about the Webclient service. (it is running). One can find discussion of the redirector. (The SYS file is present and is installed with Windows 8+ anyway.)

Using HTTP only fails similarly but with error 53 (but I only did that as a test.) The issue is the HTTPS version.

I have BTW tried this with two different webdav servers.

Any help is appreciated.

Cannot share WiFi connection or connect before login on Windows 8.1

We have a Dell Lattitude E5540 running Windows 8.1 Professional connected to an Active Directory domain. The laptop has the latest drivers and BIOS, including the driver for its Dell Wireless 1506 802.11b/g/n (2.4Ghz) adapter.

At the login screen, we can connect to our wireless network, which uses WPA2 with AES encryption, to allow loading roaming profiles. However, we have to type in the key for the network every time because clicking "Connect Automatically" doesn't work before login. Upon logging in to the machine, the wifi connection is broken, and we have to manually reconnect even though the profile for the connection exists and it is not necessary to re-type the key for the connection. Again, "Connect Automatically" does not work. In addition, the wireless connection cannot be shared; it's indicator for "Network Availability" is always "Me only". Also, the network status on the "View Network Settings" pop-out is always "Limited" even though its status in the Network Connections window is "Internet Access" and "Domain Network", and the icon in the notification area is the one used for wired networks instead of the stair-step icon for wireless networks.

Things I have tried:

  1. Deleting the profile for the wireless network for all users of the machine and reconnecting.
  2. Updating the driver. (In fact, I updated several drivers and the BIOS.)
  3. Deleting the adapter from Device Manager and reinstalling it.
  4. Deleting all profiles under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WcmSvc and HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\NetworkList\Profiles.

Other Dell laptops, including one of the same model, do not have this problem. Once I set up a connection to the wifi network using an administrator account, the connection on those other machines is established before login.

I must solve this problem, since we don't give the wireless key to users, but they can't load their roaming profiles if they're not connected before logging in. If anyone has any ideas about how to fix this, I'll be grateful.

In our environment, we are required to make server calls using a cookie-token, rather than username/password.

I have set up a windows 2012 VPN (Server located off network) and I can connect to it just fine. The issue is I am not able to access the resources on the server that are shared. In fact, I can't even see them.

Originally I could not route to web pages on my personal computer when I was connected to the VPN, but I have resolved that issue.

What could be the issue?

Thank you.

I have a PC with a Nvidia graphics card that fails the DxDiag test. I would like to replace it. However, it has been impossible to identify a replacement that has clearly determined to be compatible. Does anybody know of an effort to identify Miracast-compatible cards?

Who can tell me?

HostedNetwork is Set up, Android device is unable to obtain IP Address

I have set up my connection as per the following article

http://www.siyge.com/2013/03/24/create-hotspot-in-windows-8-adhoc-network/

The netsh commands I used are:

netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=MyWlan key=qwertyui keyUsage=persistent

netsh wlan start hostednetwork

The difference is:

a) I am sharing a USB modem connection

b) I have turned off Windows Firewall ( I use Comodo nternet Security)

I have a dell n5010 laptop using Windows 8.

When I tried to connect my Android device to it, the device simply gets stuck at the "Obtaining IP address step"

I decided to use a Blackberry device and the same error occurred.

To be doubly sure, I even used another Laptop running Windows XP SP3 to connect to the hostednetwork, even it got stuck at the "Obtaining IP address" part for some time. Then it got connected with "Limited or no connectivity" status.

Hosted Network not showing up on the Networks list.

I created a .bat file so that I can create an adhoc network with SSID = adhocnetwork.
CMD says that the hosted network has started but it did not showed up on the available networks list.
Additional info., this is the first time it happened, its been a long time since I created an adhoc network(used it to play old school LAN game with friends) and now this occured.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Location is not available error message for mapped drive after upgrading to 8.1

0

Hello,

I'm having an issue with a few different PCs running 8.1 (and now 10 as well) where our mapped drive will get this error message:

"[Mapped Drive Location] is unavailable.  If the location is on this PC, make sure the device or drive is connected or the disc is inserted, and then try again.  If the location is on a network, make sure you're connected to the network or Internet, and then try again.  If the location still can't be found, it might have been moved or deleted."

This happens at random intervals and I'm not able to replicate it besides just leaving a folder open to a location within a mapped drive.  

The contents of the folder will disappear, but you can navigate right back to the location without any issues.  This was not an issue in 7 or 8, but when upgrading to 8.1, it began happening.  Windows 10 machines have this issue as well.  

I've tried adding different registry keys such as adding the key EnableLinkedConnections to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System and also changing an autodisconnect key, but I can't recall where that was.  

Since this is happening to some version of Windows and not others, I'm assuming there is some sort of tweak to fix this and I'm hoping someone has come across it here.

Thanks!

Hi,

   It seems as if Windows 8.1 has some issues with sharing folders since konica minolta Bizhub Multifunction printer SMB Scan failed.when scan folder shared in the root drive(usually C:) and configured in MFP ,during the  process ,scanned image could be seen in shared folder but after a while it vanished ,and on MFP panel the error appear "deleted due to server error" and in the log file server error indicated.

  Searched the issue in konica minolta website, found out there is an update regarding this and some other issues all in one  update  under the name (KB2887595) for windows 8.1 - x64-based system .

   This update doesn't apply to 32 bit operating system ,so the problem still remains! I don't know of any updates for 32 bit operating systems ,so if someone knows anything in this regard or represent any solution ,that would be appreciated.

 Thanks
