    local network 10 to xp ethernet


    I have just up dated four of our computers to windows 10 and set up a wifi network between the 4 computers without too many problems.
    However I have a problem with a local connection from my main pc (windows 10) to a pc which runs in parallel (pc on windows xp) they are linked by ethernet cable. When I boot the machines in the morning windows 10 displays an icon with the xp pc and all works fine. Later on in the day the xp pc icon has disappeared but working on the xp machine it is still possible to link to the windows 10 machine.
    My question is once the icon has disappeared of the windows 10 pc how can I re-establish to link? It appears that the link still exists but I can't access it.

    :)

  2. Windows 10 Default gateway not available

    After installing windows 10, I lose internet access via the Ethernet, the computer switches to wireless.

    Windows 10 reports "no internet" on the Ethernet (local area network).

    After running diagnostics on the local area connection I learn: default gateway not available, it may be corrected some times.

    Time Warner cable insists the problem is with Windows 10.

    This is an annoying problem. Help Please.

    Access computer via local Ethernet network

    I run win 10 on my main computer, I find it VG. But have a problem with my network password. Not the sign in password or email A/C Pw's, all those are OK. I find now that when I attempt to connect to
    my Win 10 machine from one other machine, (some are Win7, XP, etc) on the same local Ethernet network (no prob with NW name etc), not WiFi, but cable conn, well I can see the win 10 but after attempting a lot of passwords, a/c names, etc, I cannot connect.To
    date all my attempts are rejected. To be quite crystal clear, this is my local peer to peer that works like a charm, except I cannot access this one Win 10 machine, maybe I have simply forgotten the p/w ?? This Win 10 machine can access other comps on the
    network. I just need to access my own machine from one of my own remote computers. Piracy is not on here.

    While we are into network passwords, could I ask further about changing all on my local network passwords to be all the same. There is a XP, 2x win 7 and ofcourse the win 10.

    I certainly would appreciate some assistance.

    local network 10 to xp ethernet

    Confusing setup.

    When the icon disappears, trying typing the ip of the machine into explorer.

    Like this:
    Code: \\192.168.1.178\ or \\10.0.0.28\[/quote] If that don't work, open an admin command prompt and enter this command to see if the other machine shows up
    Code: net view[/quote]

    Thanks for the help - confused setup ? well I must admit when it comes to networks confused sums me up. Over the years I have stuggled mostly due to trying to network various versions of windows.
    The case of the missing icon in windows 10 that shows the pc with windows xp- it appears to come and go. For interest when the icon on the 10 had pc disappeared I could ping from one pc to another - in both directions. Being no expert and not having time to delve into deeper levels of networking and trashing about I decided to map the xp pc on the windows 10 pc - all works well.
    If you wondering why I keep xp? Old but useful software and a 15 year old hp series 1000 laser jet that is my stand by printer - it has seen several other hp printers come and go to the recycle yard!
