Compaq Presario C700: Wifi 'local only' Compaq Presario C700
Hi I need a driver updated for Vista so I can use the wifi on my Compaq Presario C700 with a router today (2014)
That is available?
Hello:
If your laptop is an Atheros AR 5007 wireless card, then you must install this driver.
You may need to uninstall the old driver if just this driver installation does not change the date and version of the driver.
You can read my post on this problem below...

WIFI missing, local only
I'm frustrated, I spent hours and hours searching for a solution, reading without result.
RELOADED windows vista on two different computers, since no possibility to connect to the wi - fi... local only service. No longer want to read and try things that don't help. Please give me an answer and a solution. Obviously, this has been a problem for some time with windows vista, there should be some sort of fix now.
It does not help if you post here what you have already tried.
Make sure that the wireless switch, if any, is activated for two laptops.
Go to the website of the manufacturer of your router > make sure you have the latest Firmware in Vista for it.
Go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/notebook > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for it last network adapters Vista drivers > download/install the.

If you still have internet connection probs, one thing to try is the separation of the TCP/IPv6 (which is done by going to network connection > right click > properties > it uncheck > OK.)

Atheros / Vista "local only".
Go crazy with this problem of "local only". Hundreds of discussions on this problem. Very few solutions. My mother's laptop connects via an ethernet cable, but not through the wireless card. (Atheros). I spent almost 6 hours dealing with this ridiculous problem. Seriously, WiFi is a facet of base... and if the phones can do things, he should not be so difficult for a computer to do.
Wireless connection "local only".

Atheros AR5007 802.1 b/g 1
NETGEAR Wireless - N 150 router model WNR1000v2(1) updated driver from 30/05/2007 version to:
7.7.0.396, release date: 30/09/2009(2) the router factory settings restored.
3) attempted with WPA, WEP and no security.
(4) netsh int ip reset & Reset logs
(5) regedit by Microsoft on DHCPbitFlagToggle, after trying the
related Microsoft hotfix.(6) off firewall
7) attempted to have windows to diagnose and resolve.
(8) update to the Vista SP2
(9) a second test machine, he was able to connect to the router fine. Tried to connect to another router with Compaq, has failed. Problem certainly seems to be with the Atheros driver/network stack.
(10) all check-out IP addresses and are configured correctly.
It's just what I remember off the top of my head.
Hello:
I think that this driver is still the old to solve your problem. Use this one and I am very confident that your problem will be solved.

wireless network connection fails to connect to internet-local only connection
too much time invested to leave now... Here is the configuration:
HP dv2500 presario with home premium Vista 64, SP2... can connect to the internet via ethernet, wireless local = only... Network router is Netgear WNR3500L with 5 machines to sp3 of xp connected without problem.
Been to the grinder on this one-darn google redirect everything began, had to shut down the network, reset the router, safe & bring systems up to one at a time running 3 to 6 programs of malware to clean each box...
So I've updated driver, roll back driver, many forums, tried too many things with the same result... Performed system updates to restore, all - same result... Last step was MS support article that I followed step by step without resolution, so I hit the button... got support with regard to the identification number of the product, system would detect not, therefore entered manually & get a message no valid... I can go for $ 49, but just too stubborn to throw good money after bad at this point... Yes - I have removed the connection, hardware, resettled, updated, restart, stood on his head and blew bubbles outta my ass and still just get a local connection... This message is sent to a mobile solid XP pro sp3 5 yr old rock... SEND HELP PLEASE!

You must set up a wireless internet connection in the network as well as the connection sharing normal LAN wireless and connect to it as well as the local connection. If you don't do this, you will not have an internet connection. You need both. You must also enable some features in the main area sharing network to access the internet - they are quite well defined. If I were you, I remove all wireless Vista machine and set up from scratch. I would like to even re - install the wireless network card drivers /, firmware or software just to be safe.

I thought about it, there was a corrupted installation of Norton 360, the origin of the problem. I've used the Norton removal tool and voila! Internet! Thank you.

Temporarily disable the antivirus on the computer running software and check if you are able to install the software.
Disable the anti-virus software

Computer connects to the network wireless as "local only".
I am running Vista Home Premium SP2 on a HP Pavilion laptop. I've never had any problems to connect this machine to a wireless network before, in hotels, at home, or anywhere. My current home network is a modem - cable-> wireless-> wireless netgear n300 router. My laptop connects to the internet via the modem cable directly or a wire from the netgear router. I have a second, almost cell identical (it's intel, while the one who does not is AMD) which connects to the network wireless without any problem. Two iphones connected wirelessely without any problem. My HP laptop is the only one who refuses to connect to the internet. Connected to the wireless network, it has access "local only".

If anyone has this problem, it has been resolved by rolling the security settings on the router WEP. I got the answer from the support client netgear.

HP G60: update for Atheros AR5007 802. 11 b / g Driver HP G60 local only
Hi all!
Hoping that someone who has a lot more of an idea about this can help me because I can't really find what I need to fix this!
Basically - I have a computer old enough HP G60 laptop running Windows Vista and using some providers of internet (SKY and Virgin Media) I can connect to the internet, but it only shows Local only. (I don't have this problem when it is connected to BT Openworld is told by the way, not sure of the relevance of this?) I can connect to my wifi with my iPhone without problems, so currently connect to the internet using the USB cable, but it's so slow!
Is it possible to update the Atheros driver for this problem?
Very grateful to anyone who could help me!
Thanks in advance
Hello:
You probably need to install the updated wireless driver that provides support for WPA2 security.
Check to make sure that the new driver has replaced a former and indicates a date of version 2011.
If she does not, uninstall the device by right clicking on the Atheros wireless card, select uninstall, reboot and install the new driver.

3g point hot Local only?

It adds $ 20 on the plan to use the application of the hot spot, which you? The regular data plan only covers the data directly on the phone itself, not the data that is used on another device

Local only access immediately after the updates from Microsoft installed.
I have a Dell 531 s running Windows Vista Home Basic Edition. It has been working fine for years with a USB wireless adapter. The other night I left it on and Microsoft installed some updates and restarted my computer for me. Since then, I can't get my router LOCAL ONLY access.

Still only ACCESS LOCALLY on this computer, so that all other devices Wi-wired and the same mental health of router to function normally. Any suggestions?

problems with wireless Vista "local only".
How is it that some machines running windows vista, when the router is updated or changed, they show "limited or local only" when you then reconnect wireless... nothing else was changed on those computers and other devices can connect ok?Hello
Each router is assigned to the specific address (called IP address or IP address). And each router maintains its own database (called as base of router) to follow the networking devices communicate with him. When the router is changed, the particular router is unable to detect the device, especially the network card to communicate with the computer. Since he does not have details of the database of network devices, communicate with him.
