    Anniversary upgrade won't let me use my network!


    AU just installed tried to access other computers on my network:

    Windows computers (2) asked for credentials won't accept user name and/or password.

    Ubuntu shows up but "... is not accessible. You might not have permission..."

    Anyone have a solution? Can't wait for my other computers to get the AU

    Check the bios to make sure that it is enabled if onboard, along with if you are using WiFi, that the proper SSID is connected and the proper passphrase. Since Linux is stating that there is an issue, it is most likely going to be a Gateway problem. If it can connect via Ethernet and take you to say Yahoo.com, then you know that it is not a Gateway issue, unless you have hidden the SSID and made some changes.

    Each OS will get a different IP assigned, even if it is the same MAC ID. It is just how the software for Gateways and IPTables is written.

    Would Windows Upgrade change to bios? I am using WiFi.

    No problem accessing the internet.

    Yesterday I was able to access everything, today nothing except the internet.

    Try running the homegroup widget. It will tell you if your network has been switched from Private to Public. When that happens, loss of access to LAN resources is typical. You may need to reset that...

    No, but someone playing with the utility can change it through UEFI. It is always the first step when troubleshooting.

    The HomeGroup widget (Control Panel > Network and Internet > HomeGroup) doesn't have an option for Privatee or Public.

    That would have nothing with the device being disabled. They need to go and look to make sure that the adapters have not been disabled by going to Network Connections

    And that would have nothing to do with your problem. Network Connections would show if that one machine has the adapters enabled or disabled. Same as if they are a part of the motherboard, you can check the Bios to make sure that they did not somehow get disabled in the bios. Pretty simple stuff.
