Cannot connect Windows XP computer to the wireless router

Original title: why did I have to disable my ethernet on my front XP computers connections all of a sudden they would connect to my wireless network

I installed a new AT & T wireless router

Only my Windows 7 laptop would connect to the new wireless router.

For my XP desktop and the laptop I had to disable the ethernet connections [although no cable not connected] so that the wireless to connect.

I did it on a whim after days of not being able to connect and many calls to support AT & T.

Both computers have shown the presence of the network, had 4 or 5 bars and had the right key WAP.

So what did this happen?  XP update?  Wireless driver update?  The AT & T router?

I had the problem until I'm the new router, AT & T AT & T could find nothing wrong with the old.

Their "solution" was to send a new router - Netgear v the Westell, I had for days of Bellsouth.

Hello


Have you tried to proceed as stated in my previous post?
If you want to continue to launch other steps, you try to temporarily disable the firewall and check. Check out the following link.
How can I turn on or turn off the firewall in Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later versions?

Note: on disabling firewalls, viruses, or malware can get into the system. After you complete this step of troubleshooting, turn on the firewall.
Note: A firewall is software or hardware that checks information coming from the Internet or a network. Then, the firewall blocks the information or allows information to pass to your computer. If the information is blocked or passed through depends on your firewall settings. A firewall can prevent malicious software (such as worms) to access your computer through a network or the Internet. A firewall can also help stop your computer from malware sent to other computers. Windows XP, Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) and Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) include firewall software.

    You must log on to your router and copy all the wireless & wireless security settings.

    Make sure that the wireless adapter on your computer is turn on.  The switch is located between the led power and your touch pad just below the word wireless. The light must be blue

    Click Start, and then connect you to.  You should see your network listed. If this is not the case, go to network and sharing Center Center and turn on network discovery.  If so, click your network name and password entry or key.

    You may have to go to set up a connection or network, and follow the instructions to manually connect to a wireless network.

  • Laptop (windows 7) doesn't recognize computer (XP) desktop network, but connects to the wireless router

    I have two computers (desktop and laptop), a plug-and-play printer connected to the desktop computer and a wireless router.  My laptop was connected to the printer via a family group on the network connection.  I've recently upgraded the OS on my laptop from Vista to Windows 7 and now my phone does not even recognize the MSHOME network which was initially established.  I am able to connect to internet via wireless router (Verizon MIA 424 - WR... or something like that) but I can not connect to desktop files, devices on it and above all terribly printer.  What's weird, this is my office always recognizes my laptop and can even connect to my laptop from my desktop.  The network is established by the office which is running XP.  Not sure if this helps, but I remember when I set the laptop computer connection / original printer, I had to do a port mapping step funky.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!  FYI, I did everything suggested by microsoft windows help.

    Hi MarvinCohen,

    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community forums.

    I see from the description of the problem, you want to establish a connection to homegroup between Windows 7 devices and iphone or Android.

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing. We are here to help and guide you in the right direction.

    Using a homegroup allows for easier sharing, but if you want to connect the phone then unfortunately, I must inform you that you can not connect mobile phone or android device to a homegroup connection.

  • C4780 cannot find the wireless router

    I have a new iMac and old Toshiba that is running Windows XP and you use a Netgear wireless router.  When I got to the printer, it worked fine on the wireless network.  Bought a new router that I couldn't work with the Mac and the PC so I returned to my original router.  Now, the printer does not work as a wireless printer.  Summaries of diagnosis indicates that the printer cannot find the wireless router and fails under "Network Name (SSID) Found."  On the Network Setup page, my network is listed as a network discovered by the printer.  I guess there is a simple solution and hope to find the answers here.

    Thank you very much!

    Some printers C4780 left the factory with a default misconfiguration.  This could be the reason why you can not see the hpsetup network.  Here is an updated set of instructions for manually adding the C4780 to a Mac:

    Part 1 - Get the printer in Ad-Hoc Mode Wireless

    (1) turn on the printer.

    (2) display the printer has six keys; three on the left (top-left, middle left, below on the left) and three on the right (top-right, centre-right, bottom-right).  Press and release the following touch buttons in order:

    top left,

    bottom-left,

    top left,

    top left.

    (3) you should see the internal menu of printers.  Press the right button down to select 'Service Menu'.  Press OK (lower-left).

    4) press the lower button right until you see "Reset Menu".  Press OK (lower-left).

    5) press the lower button right until you see "half full".  Press OK (lower-left).

    (6) after a few seconds, the printer turns off.  Press the power button to turn on the printer.  It is now reset with the correct default network settings.

    (7) turn on the radio:

    Press the Scan button to get the wireless settings

    Select wireless Menu

    Select wireless settings

    Select Enable Wireless to turn on the radio.

    Part 2 - run the Wireless Setup Wizard

    The printer has now created an ad - hoc network called hpsetup.  To connect to this network on your Mac.

    Check the connection to the printer by opening the printer's internal web page.  You can do this by opening Safari, select bookmarks then ShowAll bookmarks.  On the left pane of Safari, select Hello and on the right, you should see your printer listed.  Double-click your printer and Safari should display the printer's internal web page.

    The printer Web page, select the network tab, and then select Wireless (802.11).  Now press Start the wizard to launch the wireless configuration wizard.

    When the wizard is finished, your computer unplug the printer's ad - hoc network as the printer reconfigures itself to connect to your network home.

    Reconnect your computer to your home network.  Verify that you can connect to the printer at the opening of its internal web page again once we were doing before.

    Finally, install the printer SW.  Since you have Snow Leopard, you don't need the CD that came with the printer.  Instead, open the Print & Fax under System Preferences applet and press the [+] button.  Highlight your printer and click Add.
