And by Local Network, I mean here on my workstation, not at the peer or VPN docker/server/provider.
I am not very knowledgeable with VPNs but I got to learn something new and when I do, I make a note of it. The problem was that when I have my VPN active to poke things at home, I could not print documents at my workstation at work.
Googled a lot, trid a few things and then realised that adding IP addresses to AllowedIPs in the PEER section, adds an exception for an IP address on the server’s side, NOT my workstation.
“Ooooh, what does this checkmark do?”
Confusingly enough, WireGuard names things differently between the Windows and the iOS app. So here’s what you need to check to gain access to your workstation’s local network:
Open the WireGuard control panel.
Click once on the vpn you want to change
Click the EDIT button on the bottom right
iOS: UN-Tick the box on the bottom left that says: “Exclude private IPs”, then click SAVE
Windows: UN-Tick the box on the bottom left that says: “Block untunneled traffic (kill-switch)”, then click SAVE
Yes ,this poses a security risc, so I made two VPN profiles. One with and one without so I can easily switch from one to the other.
It can happen that your TeamViewer instance is not starting any more after switching over to the new interface or that you really do not like the new looks of the new interface.
Windowskey + R
Type RegEdit and press enter
Copy the following line and paste it into the “address bar” of RegEdit and press enter.
Enter the following one after the other and the software has been installed.
FOR %F IN ("%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientTools-Package~*.mum") DO (DISM /Online /NoRestart /Add-Package:"%F")
FOR %F IN ("%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientExtensions-Package~*.mum") DO (DISM /Online /NoRestart /Add-Package:"%F")
“Cannot connect to the network folder. Ensure the shared folder name is correct”
TL;DR: Switch SMB 1.0/CIFS support ON in Windows 10. Share folder to everyone. Maybe use the computer’s user/pass. Done.
My HP LaserJet 300 colorMFP M375nw suddenly stopped scanning to a network folder in Windows 10. After many hours of futile searching, I have found the solution.
Perhaps it is not the safest solution, but heck it needs to work. Now.
If you have not changed anything to your share folder, please proceed to step 2.
STEP ONE.
Setting up your shared folder is a drag in Windows 10, since you can basically do it in multiple ways with one showing something differently than the other.
1. R-Click the folder that you want to share
2. Click Properties
3. Click the Share tab
4. Select Everyone in the pull-down menu
5. Click Add
6. Select Read/Write on the right of the Everyone entry
7. Click the Share button
8. Click Ready or OK
9. Close the Properties window
STEP TWO.
1. Open the control panel
2. Click Programs and Features
3. Click Programs and Functions in the top right corner
4. Click Add/Remove Windows Features in the left column. (the one with the shield ,I am translating this from Dutch)
5. Search for SMB 1.0/CIFS support and check that box
6. Click OK
7. Reboot
Thing should be working again and if not, do check if the shared folder address in your printer’s share panel is correct.
so all you need is a usb stick with a windows 10 installer, boot to that, click “Repair my pc” after it asks you for the language -> open the troubleshooter -> open the command line interface
then switch to the C drive
then cd Windows\System32\
rename osk.exe osk.old|
rename cmd.exe osk.exe
close and boot windows normally
click the On-Screen-Keyboard which now opens cmd.exe
net user “username” *
type new password
make sure undo your rename of the cmd.exe and osk.exe things after you’re done
