• My laptop Vista with Atheros AR5007 802. 11 b / g adapter does not connect to the internet using the local area or wireless network connections

  I just bought a new router d-link wireless n for my house.  Connect my Win 7 Desktop, laptop xp to Acer and multitude of other devices, but my laptop Vista with Atheros AR5007 adapter does not connect to internet.  I tried to disable IPv6, defining the name of the network, flushing dns cache, etc..  Nothing will work.  (It would not connect to an another 802.11n router in January either.)

  I get local only on both connections Wi-wired and wireless, no matter what I do.
  I'll send this to my office that I can not connect my laptop to the internet and he does not see the other machines on the network.
  Any suggestions from anyone?  I spent hours trying to solve the problems, now completely stumped.

  OK, here was my fix:

  I tried a lot of things, but they do not work.  I downloaded a 'new' driver of HP - it turns out it was the original with the problem.  I found another one that was about a more recent months, still does not work.  I finally managed to get the atheros.cz driver for my card files.  But they do not have an installation file.  I had to search for each old file in its directory, copy it to another place (to be sure, just in case) and then copy and replace the old file with the new file in the original folder.  Fortunately, there were only 6 files, but it took about an hour and a half.  This isn't a lot of time compared to the 18 or if I was just trying to figure out the problem.  Now, my laptop connects to the internet without problem.
  I had this problem with a router "n" beginning of the year in a hostel.  The guy in the Inn told me that he had seen before once.  It's obviously a common problem with these cards (as seen on the "solutions" online) and Vista.  I'm always hating on Vista after this problem.

  And how did you post this question? Have you used another computer?

  Disable modules through the Add-ons Manager by pressing ALT then Tools and finally to manage add-ons. Disable each add-on.

• Wireless Internet w/QuickStart, but not with the regular boot of Win7

  I have a Pavilion dv4-4141us.  With QuickStart/QuickWeb, the laptop has no trouble to connect to my wireless network and Internet usage.  But, when I do a normal in Win7 start, although the lapop connects to wireless normally, it does not provide a connection to the Internet.  If I connect to the router via Ethernet, then cable and wireless connections are good.

  I compared the security type, MAC address, IP address, etc. and can't find no difference between the regular starting values and a quick start.  Troubleshooting Win7 app isn't any help. He recommends that I reboot the router - I did many times without any effect on the problem at all.

  I use the same network wireless with an iPad without any problem, and I have no problem using the Ethernet connection to share files and printers between the laptop, an other PC Win7 and Ubuntu Linux a PC.

  Bottom line: my HP laptop does everything well except wireless Internet (except in quick start mode).

• Is it possible to have a connection to printer wireless and wireless Internet at the same time with Windows Vista?

  I'm trying to connect my wireless printer while maintaining my wireless internet connection. Is this possible?

  Hello ScottWatt,

  Thanks for your post.  Yes, however, there is a specific way to go about it.  Since you have wireless internet, you probably have a wireless router.  In this case, you must change your printer settings to connect to the router. You can find information on how to do this either through your manual, or online from the manufacturer's Web site.

  Then you would connect your computer to the Wireless internet connection as well.

  From there, both your computer and the printer would be on the same network, just install the printer on a network and you can surf the web and print wireless.

• Pavilion 17-g121wm: laptop refurbished with no Windows license key

  Greetings,

  I just got a used Pavilion laptop. It came with 10 windows pre-loaded and is in perfect working condition, but they stripped all the stickers from him, including one with the Windows license key. If I buy the HP recovery media, it will have the license key, and it'll work on my laptop?

  I'm waiting for a reminder of the repairer's customer service to see if I can get a key from them (I just call a few minutes ago). For the price I paid, I'd take a few steps to take care of this (including buying a new copy of Windows, although I'd rather not if I can avoid it).

  I found it! I am so excited. I have installed and run Belarc Advisor, and he showed a ton of information, including my Windows license key. I stuck that in the right place in my settings and here! It showed that my copy of Windows has been activated before I did, but I didn't have the possibility to create recovery discs, that was my main problem. Windows has accepted the key, and now I have the ability to create a recovery disk. I get an error when I do, but I want to install an update, now that I think it will fix. If it isn't, I think it's fodder for another line of inquiry. @erico, thank you very much for all your time. I hope that this post will help someone else who may be faced with the same problem or something similar.

• I need help. I can connect to wireless internet. It says unidentified network

  I have a hp Pavilion dv6700. I can't connect to the internet wireless however I can via ethernet. my computer is Windows vista... pls help... Thanks in advance

  Hello

  Maybe this can help.

  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.

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

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

  The wireless card drivers much also install utility wireless of the seller.

  Make sure that if there are teas from Wireless Utility of seller does not work with the native Windows wireless utility (Service WLAN).

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

  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 .

  party like Hello and NetMagic 3rd network managers can block local traffic too.

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

  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.

  http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/status-NIC.jpg

  Description is the data of the card making.

  The physical address is MAC of the card number.

  The xx must be a number between 0 and 255 (all xx even number).

  YY should be between 0 and 255

  ZZ should be between 0 and 255 (zz all the same number.)

  The date of the lease must be valid at the present time.

  * Note 1. IP that starts with 169.xxx.xxx.xxx isn't valid functional IP.

  * Note 2. There could be an IPv6 entries too. However, they are not functional for Internet or LAN traffic. They are necessary for Win 7 homegroup special configuration.

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

  A message in the small window that says connected wireless doesn't means that you are really a valid functional connection.

  Above everything is OK, you must be able to connect to the router.

  Connection to the router means that you can enter the IP of the router base in an address bar in one go, being able to connect and configure the router menus see.

  If it doesn't connect to the router, journal newspaper from any computer that can connect to the router wirelessly with a wire, disable wireless security, make sure that the wireless SSID broadcast is enabled and try to connect with no. wireless security.

  Enable security wireless after you eat to make a functional connection.
