What is the manufacturer and model of your laptop?

Visit their web page (the manufacturer) and find their drivers and help section and get the drivers for your model laptop for Windows XP 32-bit.

You, of course, this done from another machine and using some external media to get it back to the laptop.  You can get * just * wired or wireless network drivers if you wish - you can then use the Internet on the laptop again to get the rest.

  • Windows Vista update (August 2010) left my laptop could not connect to the Internet via my home wireless network

    Yesterday, on August 13, I installed - as guest - a number of updates to Windows Vista on my laptop. It seems that most of them is security updates. There are 16 in total, of which 9 are titled "A security update for Windows Vista". (For reference, they include KB978886, KB982214 and KB2079403).

    Since the completion of this facility, I can't access the Internet using this laptop. I have a wireless router that works very well. Our other two laptops families (using Windows 7 and other Windows XP uses) are the two beautiful connection today by using the wireless router, so I know that the rest of the installation is fine.

    Immediately before installing updates, everything worked very well; Since then, the problem exists. I made no other changes of configuration, facilities or any measure that might have caused this.

    Please tell us how I can remedy this problem. So far my best idea is to uninstall all updates. I really don't want to do it, because I guess they are important!

    Thank you!

  • My new Inspiron one 2020 does not connect to the internet via ethernet.

    I have connected my a 2020 new victory 8 to our office via a network cable and the following occurs: Broadband connects to the router, but not internet access. I can reach our router and see the router configuration and status screens, but not the internet.  The rest of our office has perfect internet access. I tried two calls to support, and abroad, people insist that they go through their material problems even if the network adapter works obviously.  I suggested that it was probably a problem of windows security, and they said to reinstall windows.  Very frustrating.  Any help out there?

    I finally got internet connection ignoring suggestions from tech support and following my instinct that he was related to security.  First, I removed the McCaffy and turned off the windows firewall.  Then I crossed the ip configuration for the 6th time and ended up dhcp and my dns settings in tcp/ip to work and I had internet.  Firewall turned on him again and consider using Windows Defender.  I complete installation tomorrow after that updates Windows Update are downloaded while I'm resting.

  • Unable to connect to the Internet via a Linksys Wireless card

    I used a Linksys BEFW11S4 for several years with no problems.  A PC is connected via a network cable and the other (Dell laptop) used a wireless adapter Linksys that plugged into the laptop (model of Linksys WPC11 ver (4).  All my computers using Windows XP with the latest service packs.

    I plugged the Dell laptop to the router via a cable to transfer files faster than the network B.  Then, when I disconnected the cable and reconnected the wireless card, I was unable to use the Wi - Fi connection to connect to the internet.  Wired works very well, is not wireless.

    Windows reports a good wireless connection to the router, but the machine is unable to connect to the internet using the wireless card.  It can connect to the internet when using a network cable, however.

    Pings what either using the Wi - Fi connection failed (expired).

    I used another laptop (a more recent Toshiba with a wireless card built-in) to connect to the router and it works very well with the connectivity wired or wireless.  No problem switching back with this machine.  So, the problem is not with the router or the router configuration.

    I was through the forums and seen a LOT of people seems to have the same problem with these Wireless Linksys routers.

    I tried to use the Easy Link software to configure the machine, but: (1) Linksys updated web site is not valid, and (2) with the www.linksysfix.com/ela site that directs users to the software is also invalid.  Linksys technical support seems to be lacking.

    I went to the usual network setup menus and two laptops seem to be configured the same way, again, we're working wireless and we do not.

    I would appreciate solutions others have tried and who has worked with this problem.

    I reinstalled the drivers for the Linksys card and it does not work.  Windows recognizes the new hardware card, reports that it is connected to the router, but still no internet connection

  • Impossible to attach Windows 10 laptop computer to the Internet via cable USB iPhone 5 c after update to iTunes and iPhone (March 2016)

    System information:

    Tactile Lenovo Y50-70

    Construction of 10.0.10586 of Windows 10-10586

    iPhone 5 c - iOS 9.2.1

    iTunes - 12.3.2.35 / 64-bit

    Cell carrier: Etisalat AF

    Last year in Afghanistan, I have used my iPhone 5 c to attach my laptop to the internet simply by connecting via USB.  It has always worked.  Was very simple.  When I returned to the States for R & R in November 2015, I've updated my iPhone and iTunes to the latest versions and upgrades Windows 8.1 to Windows 10.

    I am now back in Afghanistan and USB tethering no longer works.  WiFi tethering works half the time.  The other half of the time, when I try and connect to the network of the iPhone, it is said, you cannot connect to this network.  When I can't connect to the phone, I disable the personal hotspot, WiFi and Bluetooth on the phone and then I turn it back on.  I also turn off my WiFi adapter on my laptop and turn it back on.  Which usually solves the problem and then I can connect via WiFi.

    Do some research on the internet, I read that there was a file corrupted when the current generation of iTunes, but Apple had set and you just need to reinstall the current version, which I did.  I have reinstalled iTunes by suggestions from different site.  After reinstalling iTunes and restart, I can always have my phone to connect to internet via the USB cable.

    I want to be able to connect my laptop to the internet using my phone via the USB cable.  I want it all works just as it did previously.  Connection via WiFi is a pain in the ass, because it does not work half the time and disconnects on a regular basis.

    Please tell us what should I do to solve this problem.

    Thank you.

    OK, I finally understand how to solve this problem.

    I was able to understand because of this post:

    https://discussions.Apple.com/message/29267225#29267225

    The problem is that Windows 10 was not install appropriate drivers for my iPhone.

    You can see 2 places to see.  We're in the control panel.  After you plug in your iPhone, the iPhone will be displayed and highlighted as not having is not a compatible driver.  The other place is in "Devices and printers", there you will see 3 apple devices: 1 Apple Mobile Device USB Driver, iPhone 2, and 3. Apple iPhone.  All three appear when I plugged in my iPhone.

    However, the problem was one that said iPhone really should have said "Apple Mobile Device Ethernet".

    So, how to fix this?

    Open devices and printers-> right click Iphone which should be under "Unscpecified"-> properties-> hardware-> Propterties tab-> change settings-> tab driver-> update driver-> Browse my computer for software Local-> Browse to the directory "C:\Program Files\Common Apple Mobile Device Support".

    Make sure you have the files box to include under verified.

    Who did.  Windows successfully installed the necessary drivers.  Now, I can easily connect to the internet via the USB cable again without any problems.

  • 2009 time capsule cannot connect to the internet via a modem

    I had my 2009 Time Capsule or airport works very well with the modem from my ISP for years. I use the TC a hub wireless and backup. The upgrade of the modem: no problem. Over the weekend, there was a failure of the internet that has since been corrected for days. Since my TC failed to connect to the internet via the modem. I can get online via an ethernet cable from the modem to my two computers (one is a janky PC, the other bought a MacBook Pro in 2015), so I know it's not the modem.

    I turned off and reset the modem several times. I turned off and reset the TC, repeatedly. I've reconfigured the TC twice per the instructions found in other discussions here. I _may_ not having the latest version of the software installed, but this has never been a problem in the past. Reconfiguration will display a green light, but in the diagnosis of the airport, it shows that it has not Internet even when connected via the Ethernet cable to the modem to work. Icons wireless on my laptop an exclamation or a warning icon.

    The cable operator suggested that sometimes the router manufacturers 'close the ports' and must be reopened if the connection is down for awhile. It makes no sense to me, but I'm not very technical.

    Any thoughts? Thank you very much

    Renee

    What is the number and the model of the modem?

    There is a connection by Ethernet cable from the modem to time Capsule. The cable is connected to which port of the modem?  The cable is connected to which port on the Time Capsule?

    If you open AirPort Utility on your Mac... (Finder > Applications > utilities > AirPort Utility)... is displayed the image of the time Capsule?  If Yes, when you click on the image, a small window pops up with an edit box... or... an option for installation manual appears at the bottom of the window?

    Now several months ago this desktop computer once more had SOME programs lose the ability to access the internet via an Ethernet cable.

    Affected programs:

    MS Internet Explorer

    Mozilla Firefox

    Avast! Security Suite

    Work of MS Security Update

    Ping works sites (Yahoo, etc.)

    Other computers connected to this network via WiFi - no problem getting on the internet.

    Run the network troubleshooter advises all is working properly, no suggestion.

    Attempted fixes:

    Turn off all extensions on IE (but don't forget Firefox and Avast! are also unable to access.)

    Disabled all start-ups and the package process

    Restarted in Safe Mode - still not able to access.

    Ran check complete virus, then check virus run start. Minor ad-ware 'virus' not found, all corrected automatically.

    Rebooted the router and the computer to infinity and beyond! s

    Tried other computers using the same ethernet cable connected to this wireless routers cable, no problem accessing the internet.

    Disabled functions package

    Off MS Firewall

    IP Reset configuration (memory: netsh ip net reset c:\resetlog.txt - without DOUBT NOT EXACT - OF THE MEMORY.) Command worked)

    As I said, this had happened before and then miraculously fixed itself after a short period (less than 1 week). This time, no joy.

    Of course, it's one of two things:

    (1) a configuration problem I just can't find/understand.

    (2) the problem of equipment more strange, more selective, in the universe.

    Hello team zig - zag,

    I wanted to thank you for your help. I finally broke down and reached out to our friends at Microsoft directly for assistance. They had me a role through all the things that you suggested (again). And finally (after many hours of phone and chat discussions) came up with an answer: "* shrug * we don't know what is the problem - choose a restore point and come back to that.» What I did. This has solved the problem of internet access, but created other problems I'm trying (nothing that I have to post here, they are specific to a particular program package).

    Still, I wanted to thank you for your time and effort on my behalf. I'm very, very happy!

    All my best,

  • Satellite A60: Unable to connect to the internet via a modem - no dial-up

    In my Satellite A60, WinXP Home, when I try to connect to the Internet via the modem of Toshiba, I get error 6: handle not valid, and after a few attempts, I get error 50: all devices connected / request not supported.

    Device Manager / network / card Asynchronous RAS displays an error (black exclamation point on a yellow background).
    The driver is asyncmac.sys = MS Access Remote network serial driver.

    I have:
    -tried to uninstall the RAS asynchronous card, but no luck, didn't say it may be necessary to start
    -modem uninstalled / reinstalled
    -update of Windows XP through windows update
    -update of the bios / modem / network drivers from Toshiba

    No luck, the RAS asynchronous card error is still there.

    Any suggestion?
    Thank you
    Alessio - Italy

    I think that this problem is Windows XP and map Asynchronous RAS, not the modem.
    The modem correctly composed the number, negotiates the user and the password, and then I get error 6 and 50.
    On the internet I found this tip for uninstalling and reinstalling the RAS asynchronous card:
    http://forums.practicallynetworked.com/showthread.php?t=6781
    I followed the instructions and run RArepair.exe.
    It uninstalls and reinstalls the map Asynchronous RAS, but RAS is still in error (the yellow field in the Device Manager).

    Hello

    I got home that I could not access my internet broadband via the bootable.

    I have an another old laptop which works fine using the local network.

    I use the ASUS at work and you can get the internet via wireless LAN.

    When I try to go online using the LAN laptop trying to access the internet

    using the mini port WWAN and not the LAN port.

    I have tried to replace the drivers and in desperation, have used the recovery

    drive to get Vista back to its original setting.

    I still do not have access via the LAN port.

    Any ideas?

    Sanquay

    You must re-create the network connection Wireless LAN (remove the current which is probably set to use the mini port WWAN and create a new one) and specify the LAN port during installation.  This should solve the problem. Check out the following articles for some detailes, suggestions, troubleshooting instructions and general information that may be useful.  Pay special attention to how to remove a wireless/network connection as it differs from a regular connection, and if not done correctly can continue to exist when you think he's gone (and the system it shows same gone but is not).

    Thank you

    You can get in trouble with your device drivers, firmware and/or software.  Go to the Device Manager by going to start / find and type Device Manager and enter and then double-click on the program icon that appears.  Check each device to a red x, yellow! or white?  These identify devices with problems probably (drivers, but also of conflict or something else).  Click on each for more details and troubleshooting tips.  If you need to get the drivers (and you shouldat least make the modem and everything you have time to do - they can help way beyond simply solve this problem), let the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device (NOT of Microsoft Updates).  In fact, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/. Follow these steps to get the drivers: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm.  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html.

    Try to uninstall and then reinstall the modem again.  Remove the modem through Control Panel > phones and Modems, then uninstall the modem in Device Manager. Once the reboot is complete and it is reinstalled it should work (as long as you use the update of the above paragraph).  Make sure that you uninstall in this order.

    Are you sure that the modem is compatible with Vista and the rest of your system?  What is the manufacturer, brand and model?  You can find here:http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-vista/.

    I hope this helps.
