Breakdown of the network on Windows 7 laptops

We know some od behaviors of some of our laptops to Windows 7. When they are connected to our LAN via the wired adapter (this doesn't happen on wireless adapters) they lose network connectivity after about 5-10 minutes of use same light. At first, we thought it was down to a particular model of NIC, but since we had this with a completely separate network card makeup. Windows Firewall is disabled, and what happens if the machine is a member of the domain or not. Also, this does not affect Windows 7 desktop machines, only laptops.

Richard,

If you are on a corporate network, you should post your question in the forums of Windows 7 TechNet networks:

  • Pavilion dv6000: Pavilion dv6000 can't connect to the network after windows 10 upgrade from windows 7

    Need help; I have upgraded to windows 10 and my old laptop has given fresh life.  He hastened to start and stop, did not freeze the computer programs and internet was super fast.  Then it wouldn't connect all of a sudden, or even acknowledge all networks.  No internet is portable useless.  I researched and found that many had problems with card after the upgrade to windows 10, so I started windows 7 and have no problem connecting.  I had a glimpse of what was possible with windows 10 and I want it! can someone help me understand what driver I need to download it to a flash drive before moving on again to 10.

    Well, there is little hope for you, since you have an Intel wireless card.

    I have a HP nc6400 with the same card as yours and it worked very well on W10, and then he leaves suddenly.

    Not as bad than what you lived, but I had to keep restarting the machine and sometimes, it would be just the connection and would not reconnect.

    Here's what I did to solve the problem with mine, so I hope it will work for you too...

    I used this driver... a first on the list for 32 bit.

    https://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/download/22116/Intel-PROSet-Wireless-software-and-drivers-for-Windows-7-

    Then I changed some advanced settings for the card in the Device Manager.

    Here is a list type of Intel wireless settings and how to access.

    There are more settings on the link that we have for our particular model card.

    http://www.Intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/network-and-i-o/wireless-networking/000005585.html

    Here are the advanced settings, which I've listed for mine...

    Ad Hoc channel 802.11 b/g value = 11

    Mode of Ad Hoc QoS Value = active WMM

    Mixed Mode Protection value = automatically CTS

    Roaming Aggessiveness value = 1. The lowest

    Transmit power value = 5. Highest

    Wireless Mode value = 6. 802.11a/b/g

  • difficulty to remove the network wireless to my laptop

    Hi - I'm unable to remove the network my laptop wireless. I have windows Vista Home premium on a Dell Inspiron 1525. I need to delete the list of wireless network in order to re - install (due to changes to the security settings). When I try to remove it, it disappears, but then within 5 seconds it appears again, like a ghost in my computer. Help, please

    Perhaps, he keeps coming back because you're connected to the Internet.

    I assume you mean: network and sharing Center, manage wireless networks, one of the networks on this list, your right you click on the network and clicked on delete network.

    Well, if you click Properties, you can change the security settings.

    If you were logged on to the disconnected from the Internet and then you can remove it and if it works you will see it come back.

    But he will always be there even if you don't see it.

    To remove it completely connect to the Internet with another connection, not one you want to delete.

    Open the network and sharing Center click on customize, click on merge or delete network connections, select the connection that you want to remove and click on delete. This removes the registry.

    If you are unable to connect to the Internet to do this follow these steps:

    Press the Windows Logo key and the R key to open the run.

    type: regedit, click OK

    Navigate to: HKLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows NT / CurrentVersion / NetworkList / profiles

    Click on one of the profiles below to view on the right side. Look at the name of the profile to make sure it is the right one.

    When you see one you want to remove a right click the highlighted one on the left side and click on delete.

    Hello

    Maybe this can help.
    Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

    General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq#trusted
    Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

    I can share files from any computer to the other.

    Recently, I bought a new laptop Lenovo E530 in with Windows 7 Professional installed on it.

    However, I can ping or even make remote desktop on other computers on my network.

  • Cannot access the readynas via the network of windows 7 since the 65.5 update

    I have a readynas 102 fixed by a switch to a windows 7 computer pro.

    Before the update, to 65.5 I could still access the files on my readynas 102 (name: homedrive) by selecting it under Network > homedrive

    Since the update, it still appears in 'network', but clicking on does not give me access more :-(

    I found that I can open the homedrive ready nas using the IP (\\192.***.*.***) in a new window of Solution Explorer. The media unit also works very well to access music. But why can't access through the 'network' - and why he always appears without giving me access...

    I guessed that maybe it's to do with the new credentials of connection (since the change of a name of the EBU to an e-mail address), but how to change it in my windows pc network?

    Any help would be great and simple steps please! Thank you very much.

    Thanks to your inspiration I solved it my changing the password of the network connection of the former username of pre update for the new updated post e-mail deal as username via windows credentials... thank you everyone :-)
