Cannot identify the network under Windows Vista

I have windows vista SP2 and cannot connect to internet.  I see networks, but the computer is not able to identify.  I tried with several different networks, and the result is the same.

Hi ClarkHayes,

1. What is the error exact message you when you try to connect?

I suggest you try the steps from the following link and see if that helps.

  • Vista cannot identify the network

    Hello, I have a similar problem like this post
    http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/vistanetworking/thread/500f6465-83ab-405a-9ed2-23f8bf1a9236 while Vista connects to a network, but may not identify the network and therefore cannot access the internet for any purpose. I saw the same problem on 4 different laptops in the last 2 weeks. All that relied on a wireless connection, but now will not connect either wired or wireless.
    I tried the Patch flag Broadcast and anything else that I could find through Google.
    As has happened on several machines at the same time, I can only assume that it's down to a Windows Update. I tried to install SP2 to Vista and later updates, but in vain. Interestingly, my wife, computer Dell laptop running Vista Business, and so far it still works fine.
    If you could be of any help to me I would be very well kept, my next step could very well be the reinstallation of the OS.
    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    Alas, it seems to be still no solution for this problem. I am a small scale system integrator and repair service in my spare time, and now I just took my system 10th with this anomaly. So far, my only response is to re - install Vista, which worked perfectly on previous systems 9.
    Any other ideas?

  • Cannot install the update for Windows vista (KB2718704) a safe mode or after clean window reboot

    I can't install the update for Windows vista (KB2718704), a mode without failure or after clean window reboot.

    What should I do?

    Hello

    ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    ·         You get the error message?

    ·         You are able to install other updates successfully?

    Follow these methods.

    Method 1: Temporarily disable the security software .

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Method 2: Put the computer in a clean boot State to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Note: After completing the steps in the clean boot troubleshooting, follow step 7 the link to start the computer to a Normal startupmode.

    Method 3: You can also manually install updates (KB number) by downloading from the Microsoft Download Center.

  • Windows Vista cannot identify the network wireless secure after reboot, shutdown, standby, idle, screensaver...

    I have a Dell Inspiron 9400 that is about 5 years old.  After almost every stop, restart, sleep, saving screen and idle my wireless connection icon gets a yellow warning triangle and when I open my network and Center sharing there is a red X on the 'plan' and he said: he can't identify the wireless network.  So I have to disconnect and reconnect several times to connect wireless.  There are also 2 PCs cable, 1 PC wireless and 1 laptop Mac wireless connected to the NetGear RangeMax router with no problems.  I tried to update my Broadcom 802.11 g network adapter (version 4.82.28.56 / date 21/06/06), but he says it's the most recent driver.  I use WPA2-PSK authentication with a password for the security of the wireless router.  The only one I know about computers is that when I have a problem I look up on internet forums until I have the solution, and then I followed the instructions.  It has worked so far.  If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it.

    Assuming that the signal is strong, and that there is no noise in the electrical environment (http://www.ezlan.net/wbars.html ).

    Uncheck the box to the NIC of energy economy (I.e., do not leave the card save energy).

    There may be some variations on where is the energy saving setting.

    Here are a few examples, YMMV, look around your systems.

    Still a problem?

    Check the support site for the manufacturer of the computer and make sure that you use the latest drivers.

    Do this if Windows native drivers claim already updated.

    Download the drivers and extract them to a folder of your choice.

    In Device Manager, right-click on the adapter.

    Click Update drivers and choose her browse my computer for drivers.

    I have problems to connect to the Windows 8 computer from the vista computer to access shared files and folders. I have Setup local users on the computer of Windows 8 for the other 3 computers in the office.  When I go to the Windows vista computer, and you try to open the computer of windows 8 on the network, it requires a username and password.  I give it, and he says that me the username and password are not valid. I tried using the whole installation of combinations of name and password user on the computer of Windows 8.  I have also went to the files, affected screen sharing folders that I want to share to "everyone" on the computer of windows 8.  I must be missing something simple; I have two Windows 7 computers, a computer of Windows 8 and Vista computer.  No other three computers can access files of windows 8...

  • Cannot locate the network after reinstalling Vista

    I just had to reinstall vista (based on the recommendation of the forum do how can I install/uninstall anything one way). Now I can't connect to the internet, or my network. I have a laptop Dell Inspiron 1525.

    It seems that I reinstalled the network adapter - at least when I started there was no category "network adapters" in the Device Manager, and now he has one with Marvell Yukon 88E8040 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller under it.

    Thanks to a different compurter I downloaded the thing Dell told me to download when I typed in my Service tag.

    Also, I downloaded and installed the service packs 1 and 2 since for Vista, since I knew that they were on my orginal OS.

    In looking at the network and sharing Center, it seems that network discovery is turned off.  I tried to turn it on, but nothing happens.

    Any ideas on what to try next?

    In addition, I don't know if it's relevant or not, but when I reinstalled my OS, I thought everything would be gone, but the memory is always at the same level as it was before resettlement.

    Much obliged,

  • Cannot access the calendar from Windows Vista Home Premium all of a sudden... get error message indicating it is disabled... Help, please!

    After 1 year with the help of Windows Calendar on Vista Home Premium, I'm suddenly not able to use it (impossible to add new appointments and stored all appointments have mysteriously disappeared). I get a message saying "You cannot add appointments to a calendar that is disabled" the details of State "access denied." ... How is - it happened 'out of nowhere '? How to activate it? It's very frustrating... I searched the forums and Microsoft google the question. I found some results suggesting to either change the registry or download the fix automatically and manually merge in my registry. I tried both with no result. I have event tried to remove the old calendar and create a new one... still nothing. Any suggestions? Help, please!

    Hello NYintelligentinvestor,

    Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.

    Sorry, you have a problem with that.  What type of entry you are trying to add?

    Look at the calendar and on the left side, to half way down you will see a small block that will have something like "NYintelligentivnestor schedule" - there is a small block to the left of this one. To activate the calendar, click on the box to place a check mark in it.

    If there are calendar shown in this block, then go to "file" on the main toolbar and click on "new calendar" - one should then appears in a block with a check mark in the box on the left.

    I hope this helps. Please let us know status.  Thank you! Engineer James Microsoft Support answers visit our Microsoft answers feedback Forum and let us know what you think.
