    This is just simple curiosity on my part.

    Those of you running several computers off 1 network
    Do you put portable apps on each machine or
    put them on one and run them on the others?

    For instance Wise Disk Cleaner Portable is on my Gateway and I connect my HP
    through my network to my share folder on the Gatewy and run WDC from there .

    :)

  2. Network Communication problem with multiple computers

    Hi Jay,

    Thank you for responding.

    I suggest you to try the below troubleshooting steps and check if it helps.

    Method 1: Network discovery might be blocking you from seeing other computers and devices on the network. Check if the Network discovery is turned on. If the network discovery setting on your computer is set to off, you
    won't see other computers and devices on the network.

    Steps to Turn on network discovery.

    • Press Windows key, type sharing and click on
      Manage advanced sharing settings.
    • Under Private, Network discovery, check mark the option
      Turn on network discovery.
    • Try the same on all the computers connected to the network.

    Method 2: If the issue still persists, run
    HomeGroup troubleshooter and check.

    HomeGroup troubleshooter finds and fix problems with viewing computers or shared folders in a HomeGroup.

    • Press Windows key, type troubleshooting
      and select it.
    • Click on View all in the left pane and click on
      HomeGroup
      .
    • Follow the on-screen instructions.

    Hope it helps. Kindly update the status of this issue for further assistance.

    QUESTION: Efficacy of Running Portable Apps on Internal Hard Drive ?

    Advantages:
    1. The biggest advantage is that it does not mess with your Windows registry.
    2. Another advantage is that you can move it around.
    3. Third advantage is that you can take it with you and does not require any network syncing services to keep your bookmarks and settings up to date (since it's the only copy of the app you use)
    4. Fourth advantage is that it can be easily backed up and restored in case of total system failure or portable app corruption.
    5. Final advantage is that it won't use any computer resources other than the HDD space taken while it is not in use.

    There are probably even more advantages, and there are probably many disadvantages too, but I can't think of any right now.
