  Access to the "Local" network only
  I can connect to my network, but with access "local only".  Internet became more intermittent (not sure if that is related or if I guess it) and did not work in several weeks.  Desktop computer is plugged into the router, but have the same problem when it is plugged into the DSL modem.  Other computers on the same router (wireless or other) work very well.  Recently, I removed Mcaffee and installed MS security essentials.  I uninstalled mcaffee of programs and settings then used the mcaffee removal tool to lighten the rest.  I uninstalled and reinstalled MS security essentials.  I thought it might be a firewall issue, but I get error 0x6D9 when I try to start it.  I tried all the steps in the following post, nothing helps.  Any other suggestions?

  6. on the Edit menu, point to new, and then click DWORD (32-bit) value.
  7. in the new area #1, type DhcpConnEnableBcastFlagToggle and press ENTER.
  8. right click on DhcpConnEnableBcastFlagToggle, then click on modify.
  9. in the value data box, type 1 and then click OK.
  10. close the registry editor.
   
  By setting this registry key to 1, Windows Vista's trying to get an IP address using the BROADCAST flag in DHCP Discover packets. If that fails, he will try to obtain an IP address without using the BROADCAST flag in DHCP Discover packets.
  You can also try uninstalling and reinstalling the driver for the wireless card.

• Problem with Internet access: local only for wireless in Vista

  Help, please.  I have a Dell laptop and a Dell desktop computer.  The other day, I pressed WPS on my router Netgear wireless, and since then, my desktop computer (Windows Vista Home Premium SP2) was not able to connect to the Internet.  The office is connected to my router.  My Dell (Win 7 Pro) laptop is able to connect wirelessly to the router and Internet.

  That's what I tried:
  (1) I bought a new wireless router Netgear WNDR4500
  (2) I bought a cutting mini USB wifi adapter for the desktop.  Install the driver.
  (3) reset winsock, ipv4, ipv6, dns

  (4) order McAfee firewall
  (5) restarted several times
  (6) persons with disabilities wired and wireless enabled - I get signal green/fort

• Problem with access: local only for wireless in Vista

  A few weeks ago, we got a new router at home. It works fine, but a few days ago, my computer suddenly could no longer access the internet wireless on this subject. (He had been able to before). Other computers in the House can use it for the wireless, and my computer can get on the internet by cable. My computer can also access wireless to other places, but not at home, and more.

  So far, I tried everything what I found on the internet to solve the problem without success. I tried:

  1. the solution proposed on this page http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928233.

  2. make sure that windows is completely updated.

  3 disable IPv6 and IPv4 (although not at the same time).

  4 turn off the power management feature that allows the computer to turn off the wireless card.

  5. disabling and re-enabling the network card.

  so far, nothing has worked. Can someone, please?

  Hello

  In most cases, this problem is created by the problem with wireless security.

  Try to connect with the security temporarily turned off.

  Or firewall blocking local traffic.

  Wi - Fi in general.

  These steps and tell us where is the breaking point.

  Check the Device Manager for the wireless card valid entry.

  http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_dm.jpg

  If there is no valid entry, remove any entry from fake and re - install the drivers for the wireless card.

  Check network connections to make sure that you have a network icon/entry wireless connection, and that the properties of the icon (right-click on the icon) are correctly configured with the TCP/IPv4 protocol in the properties of network connections.

  Make sure that if there is Wireless Utility a utility vendor is not running with the native Windows wireless utility.

  ----------------

  Make sure you firewall No. preventing / blocks wireless components to join the network.

  Some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible set up the firewall correctly, otherwise totally uninstall and get rid of its remaining processes that permit the own local network traffic flow.

  If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

  ---------------------------

  Stack TCP/IP work should look like.

  Right-click on the wireless network connection card, select status, details and see if she got an IP address and the rest of the settings.

• WAP54G connects with WPA encryption

  Hello

  I have a WAP54G access point and a laptop ACER 7720 inspired. No encryption and WEP settings don't work very well, but does not have WPA Personal.

  I use Ubuntu 8.04 and Vista operating systems, which give the same results.

  Are there problems known with this type of encryption, or any less than obvious settings that I may have missed.

  The laptop uses a wireless 3945abg card.

  A Linux expert has suggested that I have try the driver of wicd, but even if successful it would not solve the problem with Vista.

• Windows Vista Home Basic 'local only' access via ADSL router, broudband

  Hello

  I've set up a new router broadband wireless ADSL to connect to my broadband PostOffice.com existing Standard.

  The router is a Belkin F7D1401uk Surf N150 model.

  It is facing up and running and I can use other machines to connect to the internet through it. A netbook running Windos XP SP3 and a mobile phone (Nokia X 6), but my laptop main running Windows Viast Home Basic SP2 (32 bit) do not have wireless internet access.

  It is a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Li 2727 laptop. If I connect to the new Belkin router using an ethernet cable, I can connect to the internet.

• SONY VAIO VGN-SZ28 cannot connect wireless with WPA encryption

  Hi guys

  I have a sony VAIO PC is unable to connect wireless if I have WPA and WPA2 encryption. When I decrease the security WEP device connects well. the laptop never asks the user name and password of the ad

  The type of security, I use WPA2 802. 1 x with PEAP-EAP-MSCHAPv2

  Please note the following:

  1. Wireless driver is updated to the latest version. I see EAP and WPA Press Cordless screwdriver
  2. Windows XP service pack 3 operating system

  no idea why I am facing this problem?

  Thank you very much

  Elijah

  Hi Elijah

  You can deal with a number of certificate on the laptop.

  If the wireless client is configured to use PEAP Protocol as you suggested the default setting is usually to check the certificate of the server. This would mean that you need to install a certificate on the laptop. However, there should be a setting on the client to disable the server certificate 'validate' If you do not want to (or cannot) to install a certificate on the laptop.

  See attached some screenshots.

• How to configure WIFI with WEP encryption?

  I have an Equium A50 and I am tring to set up on a network with a WEP code. I tried to connect to the network using the configfree software as it said but it still comes up with a fault on the configuration check tool. I tried the 4 networks of differnet computer to check the hardware and how it works on all of them. I'm stuck any ideas.

  Hello

  I put t know if you defined, but many routers support a hidden wireless LAN option.
  In this case, the wireless network is not visible. You should check the settings of your router.
  In addition if you want to use WEP encryption so you should go to the Wlan properties.
  You will find a wireless network tab. There you should find a wireless network of networks (if they are not hidden) you select the network and click Properties. There you should find an option to set the password for the encryption.

• "Access: Local only" problem and an unidentified router connection.

  I use a laptop Compaq Presario CQ60 with Windows Vista Home Basic.

  The laptop connects to the router (a Belkin.43A1) However, it is unable to correctly identify the router and does not connect to the internet. Offer me only a "Local" access only

  My brother has the same exact model of the laptop and windows vista edition, with all settings completely unchanged but suffers still from the same connection problem.

  All other devices in the House are able to connect to the internet through the router, such as ipods and game consoles. Another laptop running Windows XP is able to connect without a problem.

  Connecting the laptop to the internet works when connected via an ethernet cable.

  I tried several solutions offered on the internet without any positive results, such as:

  -Disable IPv6

  -Computers wireless card uninstalled, then put it back

  -Uncheck the link layer topology

  -Restart the router/mobile

  -Check and install all updates for windows and HP

  And several others, all parameters have returned to what they once were.

  Help and suggestions or solutions would be greatly appreciated thanks.

• How do a static backup thunderbird accounts that I can still access locally only (as another profile) on Linux

  I have a couple of IMAP accounts with my ISP. (I don't want to use POP). One of them is running out of space, so I have to clean the old stuff. Thunderbird is set to keep a copy of all emails locally on my laptop.

  What I want to do is to copy my existing profile and all accounts and the data to another location on the drive of my laptop, BUT I still want to be able to access offline using Thunderbird, so I can watch old information if necessary.

  What I am doing wrong?

  Here's what I've tried so far:

  I know there is the way to go by using profiles, but I was not able to understand how to get Thunderbird for me to change the name of the account in a profile without modification in the other too - or maybe it's not even access it at all.

  I use Kubuntu Linux with KDE 4.14.0 14.04.

  I tried to copy my profile and access with

     thunderbird -P $HOME/.thunderbird/backup/profiles.ini
  

  and access to the original with

     thunderbird -P $HOME/.thunderbird/profiles.ini
  

  but it seems that it is only in the search to a single profile because when I try to change the name of the account in the backup (so it cannot access my IMAP account), I see the same changes in the regular.

  bigbird@Ramdass:~$ cat $HOME/.thunderbird/profiles.ini
  [General]
  StartWithLastProfile = 1

  [Profile0]
  Name = default
  IsRelative = 1
  Path = oll1pj1u.default
  Default = 1

  bigbird@Ramdass:~$ cat $HOME/.thunderbird/backup/profiles.ini
  [General]
  StartWithLastProfile = 1

  [Profile0]
  Name = local backup
  IsRelative = 0
  Path = / Home/bigbird /. Thunderbird/Backup/oll1pj1u. Backup

  bigbird@Ramdass:~$

  I don't think that a new profile will help you at all.

  Copy what you want to keep from the server in Thunderbird local folders. That will free up space on the server.

  Provided that fix you things there is no huge file (> 4 GB) I do not have all of your old messages in local folders will not cause great distress.

  You can use the Thunderbird Profile Manager to switch between profiles, but I suspect that you will find it very annoying, because you have to close and re - open Thunderbird or use an add-on, to switch between profiles. Or you can jump through hoops and run two instances of Thunderbird, each with its own profile.

  However a lot of profiles that you have, you must make a difference in local folders to avoid them being stored on the server.

  You can export the messages to .eml, .txt or .html files but I suspect locate old messages would be painful, given that the chaining and the thread will be lost.

• Problems accessing internet, access "Local only" our network connection

• Wireless LAN on Equium A210-1AS connection with WPA-TKIP encryption problem

  I have a 1AS Equium A210 with Vista but cannot connect to the internet via a wireless router cable modem NTL using WPA-TKIP encryption and 5600 philips.

  The laptop shows the base station wireless with a beep sound intense but said that the base of the station is not responding or is hidden when I try to connect to the internet.

  I'm using the correct password.
  I am able to connect to the internet via the base station when connected via the ethernet cable. Other old computers connect wireless with no problems.

  I heard that some combinations of chipsets with Vista can be the cause of some of these issues.

  Clear advice or ideas on what I could try to get wireless internet would be greatly appreciated.

  Have you checked to connect the laptop to the router WLan with WPA encryption settings? Please do. You must disable the WLan encryption to test the WLan connection

  If the laptop could connect properly, then encryption is certainly the reasons why the laptop can not establish the WLan.

  Maybe your wireless network card does not like this on the encryption support or you simply have to update the Windows operating system and the driver WLan.
