    I found the problem (s), even if I am always left with a few questions.

    During this process, I have disabled the firewall, but that did not help. However, I noticed 'tweaks' accessed via the tab 'Advanced' in 'Microsoft Firewall' which looked like, they must be checked in order to access the internet. I checked these and reintroduced the firewall. After I got things working, I unchecked them and things still worked so I obviously don't understand what these parameters.

    The solution:

    (1) I have to go straight from the modem cable to the computer. I can't have a cable modem, router wireless, computer, even if using hard wire, and even if this same configuration works with another computer. Also, I can't use a cable length to go from modem to the computer. So, it seems to have had a problem of cable length. Power problem? Only connected to this computer devices are the mouse, the keyboard and the Ethernet. Would not this be fixed with an upgrade of the power supply? Or is it due to the quality of the Ethernet hardware on the motherboard? It's a Dell Vostro 200.

    (2) in back and forth between configurations while following the problem, you must think to unplug the modem to reset between each configuration. You may have stumbled upon the solution, otherwise he's not shot. Also, I unplugged the cable from the modem when you reset data cable - do not know if it was necessary. I wanted to limit the degrees of freedom that I had a lot, as it was.

  • IP address conflict between the networks wireless and wired widows 7

    I help manage 25 computers @ work. We affect all components of its own IP address. When you set up win 7 laptop computers that they do not give me a static ip address at the time the connection to the LAN and wireless. I get a conflict message.

It works for now, but these portable must also be able to be wired.

    The typical case here is that they must be hard wired but must also be mobile (wireless) troubleshooting automotive computer applications. I tried using the same address and different addresses.

  • How can I change the network address of my Time Machine drive?

    Hi people,

    This is my second question in 12 hours. Thanks to help I received here, I abandoned my doomed attempt to use my old AirPort Extreme and a USB key for Time Machine backups.

    I've used my ReadyNAS for Time Machine backups, but it has never been reliable. I think I have tracked the question and I would like to try again. However, Time Machine remembers the old network address for the ReadyNAS unit (smb://NAS_TimeMachine.local/ReadyNAS) and does not 'see' the same unit at current address (afp://[email protected]/NASTimeMachine). You could collect that networking is not something I understand.

    I think that this can be also responsible for the boring 'There was a problem... "messages that I receive at startup telling me the drive could not be mounted.

    Is there a way to force the time Machine to forget the old address and 'see' a new?

    See you soon,.

  • Acquisition of network address and no connection bouncing back and fourth

    Hi all! I hope someone can help. I have a laptop and I take courses online in addition to the physical classes during the semester. I have my laptop connected to my network wireless at home. On the desktop, that's where hung the modem and the wireless router. Well as we all know, sometimes the connection bleeps out for a fraction of a second. Well, I can't have that all the time so today I moved the modem and the device wireless for my laptop for a dedicted connection more. No problem.

    I bought a BELKIN USB wireless adapter and wouldn't connect. He finds the modem and everything, but it would bounce back and fourth to acquire a network NOT CONNECTED address and then bounce immediately try to find the address. My provider of property intellectual has said that it is because I have a LINKSYS router, so I should have a LINKSYS adapter too. So I did an Exchange and now have the LINKSYS COMPACT WIRELESS G USB ADAPTER. Manufacturer #: WUSB54GC. My ROUTER is a LINKSYS Wireless - g Broadband routher, MODEL WRT54G and I bought the router in August of 2006 and have NO problem!

    So my problem... I have the new linksys adapter. Tried to install it on the desktop. WLAN Intel concludes very well, but it bounces back and fourth of the Acquriring network address and NOT CONNECTED every few seconds. I even install on my laptop and it does the same thing! I don't think it's the adapter. What is my router?

    If someone could please help! I would really apprecaite it! Thank you!  mmm

    -Set the channel 11-2 wireless, 462 GHz... Wireless SSID broadcast should be enabled and then click on save settings...
    Please take note of the name of the wireless network (SSID) because it's the network identifier...

    For wireless security: -.
    Click the sub-tab under wireless > Wireless Security...
    Change the mode of WEP wireless security, encryption must be 64-bit. Let the empty password, do not type in anything... Under type of WEP Key 1 in all 10 numbers please (numbers only and no mailbox for example: your 10-digit phone number) and click on save settings...
    Please note the 1 WEP key as it comes to the security key for the wireless network...

    Click the settings advanced wireless
    Change the interval of tag to 75 > change the Fragmentation threshold to 2304, change the RTS threshold to 2304 > click 'save settings '...

  • Unable to set the IP address and the DNS servers manually

    I am running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit with SP1 on a Lenovo ThinkPad. The problem is that whenever I connect to my home LAN I can not put addresses IPv4 and DNS servers manually. Once I got close and open network and sharing Center option 'obtain an IP address automatically"is re-selected.

    I tried to set the IP address and DNS servers by entering the control panel command in administrator mode but the problem persists. The problem with the automatic configuration of IP addresses, is that my ISP DNS servers are slow, resulting in a slow internet. I also tried just setting DNS servers leaving windows automatically get IP addresses, but that did not too.
    I appreciate any ideas as to why this is happening and how ressemelable this question. Thanks in advance.

  • Whenever I update "send/receive" a message asking me to write the network password and user name.

    I am connected to wifi in the hotel (Orange) and I can't SEND email, I just have to receive them.

    Whenever I update "send/receive" a message asking me to write the network password and user name. This from my mail server (not orange because that one is ok I have access to the internet).

    Most of the suppliers do not let you send if you are not connected through them, or they have special settings.  So for now, see if you can access your e-mail via webmail and use this interface and in the future, contact your ISP and ask them if there is a way to send emails when you are connected through a different network.
