Computers not appearing is not on the network

I have 2 laptops and a desktop connected to my network computer home, all running windows 7.

At one point, I was able to see them appear on the network and able to share files on the network.
Recently, any changes made on any other computers that may be some updates of windows, none of them are visible.
I tried to disable the firewall on all machines and still nothing, I don't run any antivirus software that would block it.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Portege R100: WLAN does not recognize the network

    I have a 2 year old Toshiba R100 Notebook.
    It has a wireless adapter:

    Intel (r) PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter

    We have tried several times and had technicians trying to connect to our WAP network office. He simply do not recognize the network and we offer all mailboxes menu to connect. It works fine on WEP networks and open.
    Our network is one: -.

    Cisco Linksys Access Point Wireless-G with SRX, model WAP54GX

    It has been suggested that I have buy a wireless card for WAP networks put in the slot of the card.

    Would you agree?

    If so, then that one would you recommend?

    Hello

    It seems that the card supports only WEP encryption and cannot handle WAP encryption that secures the WLan network.
    Fact is that encryption depends on hardware and not software. This means that if the card doesn t supports the Protocol WAP for the update of the driver will not change this situation, but only a replacement card.
    So I agree with you that the replacement card may solve your problem.

    Unfortunately, I can't give you any recommendations because I m not 100% sure what card uses the WAP protocol, but you can order the Wlan card compatible and supported by the Toshiba service partner in your country. AFAIK the guy order the Toshiba parts directly.

    My Windows 7 computer is not find wireless networks after I did a system restore. It was perfectly good wifi before the system restore and other members of my family have a great connection except me is not a problem with my router. I think I know what the problem is, but I just don't know how to fix it. So there you go. I did my restore system about 2 days after that we moved on the provider of internet/tv "Comcast" to the tv/internet provider "Verizon". what I think has happened, is that I restored my computer to the point when we had no Verizon so that he could not find the network.

  • Storage migration fails with the error: could not complete the network copy to path to the file

    Hello

    I have two hosts ESXi 5.5 with local storage and VMware vCenter device which manage them. Everything worked well until that time.

    Now when I try to make the host migration and storage, processing or power off the virtual machine, I get the error message:

    Could not complete the network for file /vmfs/volumes/.../path/to/file.vmdk copy

    The situation is the same when I try to deploy VM on ESXi-2 model that is on ESXi-1.

    All with the network configuration is correct. I have ping between the hosts on ESXi and ESXi and vCenter. No firewall hosts ESXi and vcenter. No physical firewall between hosts.

    The network latency is less than 1 ms. No packet loss.

    I read this VMware KB article: Storage migration fails with the error: could not complete network file copy and I tried solutions explained here, but the results are the same.

    You have ideas where the problem may be?

    Hello guys,.

    I finally found the problem.

    ESXi servers are configured with MTU 9000, but the switch where the hosts are connected was a bug documented with frames. I found the problem after finding this article http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1003734

    I run the command of ESXi-1:

    vmkping - d-s 8972 192.168.10.12 where 192.168.10.12 is the ip address of ESXi-2

    The result was:

    3 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss

    as a workaround, I reduce the MTU to 1500, then I patched the problematic switch.

  • After a clean install of Windows Vista, Intel Wifi card is installed and activated, but does not detect the network.

    Wireless card not working after a clean install of Windows Vista

    I did a clean install of Windows Vista Home Premium on my HP Pavilion of 32 bits. I've completely updated Windows via Service Pack 2. Given that the clean install, my wireless card, Intel (r) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN, was not able to detect all the networks. The Wifi card is listed under NICs as being installed and activated. the hardware on my laptop Wifi switch is set on "on" and the light is blue, indicating that the card is working.

    I can connect to the internet if I connect physically my computer to the modem with an ethernet cable wireless, so the modem isn't the problem. Other computers can connect to the wireless modem, so my Wifi modem functionality is not the problem. The problem with my computer.

    I tried to uninstall the Intel driver and reboot my computer with the generic driver. Install the driver generic, but my wireless card has not always worked. I then ran an update of windows, nothing helps.

    I tried to install the "Intel® PRO /? Wireless and WiFi Link"drivers for Windows Vista (32-bit 13.1.1.1 the latest version and the previous version 12.4.4.5 32-bit) for the Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN directly from the Intel Web site at http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Wireless+Networking&ProductLine=Intel%C2%AE+WiFi+Products&ProductProduct=Intel%C2%AE+Wireless+WiFi+Link+4965AGN. The map didn't always work with a driver.

    In addition to the pilots, I also downloaded a tool of diagnosis of Intel (Intel® PROSet /?) Utility of WiFi wireless connection for Windows Vista 32 -? Bit). Said diagnostic tool the WiFi card is not installed or enabled, however, Device Manager maintains that he is also installed and active.

    Is there a problem that causes Device Manager to say that all is well with the card, but does not map to realize that they diminish the radio signals? Everything's fine, diagnostic, it just does not detect networks around him. Help, please.

    Repeat for network (NIC) card and is a good time to get the other updated drivers as Vista like

  • My Windows Vista computer does not see the network or printers that are connected to a computer using Windows XP

    Hello

    Did you change your computer?

    This problem occurs if the (LLTD) link layer topology discovery Responder component is not installed on the Windows XP computer.

    Network card in Windows Vista makes network diagrams of connections between network devices that can be used to troubleshoot connectivity issues. Network map uses a discovery protocol called Link-Layer Topology LLTD (Discovery) that queries other devices on the network to determine how the network is organized.

    Windows Vista includes the software components that implement the LLTD protocol. For other devices on the network to display on the map, they must activate a discovery protocol that can meet the demands of mapping from the Windows Vista-based computer.

    I suggest you to install the update on windows XP.

  • Windows XP sp3 can not access the network shares on vista after installing sp2

    I have a xp sp3 computer and another currently running vista Home premium sp2. Previously, I was able to access the network share on the xp computer before vista computer I installed sp1. Both computers were able to ping between them without problem.

    I've upgraded to sp2 because I had problems with windows media center, missing records. Upgrade of these issues fixed, but this means that roll back to sp1 is not an option for me to get operational network.

    Please do not post a standard answer on the network configuration. I am familiar with the standards requirements to share files between xp and vista and everything is set up correctly.  Like I said everything was working fine before the installation of sp2.

    If it is a known problem that is still not resolved, I'd appreciate knowing that information as well.

My internet was fine yesterday, I was watching some stuff on aliexpress when my mouse froze, I tried to restart the laptop, but nothing worked so I had to remove the battery. After that the computer took forever to turn back and when he did my computer did not find my wifi more. I ran the following anti-virus, I tried the steps in the verification of all past system. I went in Sync Center, I have trid addition in manual, I tried to search for a wifi switch (I don't think I have a) I tried to restart the pc and the internet, I tried the system restore, I don't really know what else to do. Any suggestions?

    Hi Kate,.

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand that Windows 7 can't find the network and I appreciate the efforts made to try the patches. Let me ask you;

    • Restoring the system led?
    • What exactly happens when you try to connect to the Wi - Fi?

    This could be due to several reasons, including any third party software conflict. Try the following methods and check.

    Method 1: Start the computer in Mode safe mode with network and check if the problem persists. If the problem does not persist in SafeMode with network, put the computer in a clean boot state and check.

    Step 1: Start the computer using safe mode with networking

    Safe mode with networking is an option of troubleshooting for Windows that starts your computer in a limited State. Only basic files and drivers needed to run Windows are started. Safe Mode with networking appears in the corners of your monitor to identify which Windows mode you are using. You can use the internet connection in this mode.

    Please refer to: , start your computer in safe mode

    Step 2: Perform a clean boot in order to avoid any conflict of third party software.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Place your system in the clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. You must follow the steps in the article mentioned below to perform a clean boot.

    How to perform a clean boot in Windows

    Note: see 'How do I reset the computer to start normally after a boot minimum troubleshooting' to reset the computer starts normally after troubleshooting.

    Method 2: Update the network adapter

    Step 1: Update the driver through Device Manager

    a. click Start , type Device Manager and click on it

    b. expand network adapters

    c. make a right click driver, and then click Update driver software

    Step 2: Install the Windows updates pending

    To check the updates:

    1. Open Windows Update by clicking the Start button . In the search box, type Update, and then in the list of results, click Windows Update.
    2. In the left pane, click check for updates, and then wait while Windows searches the latest updates for your computer.

    3. If you see a message telling you that important updates are available, or you say to look at the important updates, click the message to view and select the updates to install.

    4. In the list, click the important updates for more information. Select the check boxes for the updates that you want to install and then click OK.

    5. Click install updates.

      Read and accept the terms of the license and then click Finish if the update requires it. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    Step 3: Visit the computer manufacturer's support Web site and install the latest network for Windows 8 for the same model of device drivers.

    The WLan driver can be found here:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/?page=downloads
