General question: how Vista "identified" an ethernet network?

I have read hundreds of messages on the issues of 'unidentified network' and do not yet have a solution that works with the installation of the network that I am trying to use.  Rather than detail the entire setup I prefer address configurations easier in which I see the same questions. Network discovery is enabled on the Vista PC, and the firewall is disabled.

Configuration 1: Windows Vista PC with onboard LAN adapeter connected to a netgear hub and subnet ip address assigned (192.168.0.1) (255.255.255.0) static - no gateway or DNS addresses.  Vista solves this to an unidentified public network, which can be changed in private, but the 'unidentified network' brands is not editable.

Configuration 2: Windows Vista PC with onboard LAN adapeter connected to a netgear hub and functions of automatic IP DNS addresses selected as automatic.  Vista remains in mode "identifing" with the public network scored.

Configuration 3: Same as 1 Setup above, with another PC (IP 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0, no gateway address) added to the hub.  Vista solve this to an unidentified public network, which can be changed in private, but the tag 'unidentified network' is not editable - same result as the Installer 1.

Is the label 'Unidentified network' OK for configurations above? (How Vista identifies an ethernet hub network?)

If a configuration change to make the private network persists, or should it change to the Public whenever it is discovered?

The network tag not identified either editable - it seems that it is, but the keyboard is not accepted.

THX,
Jay

This thread can thus deleted because it's slippery for the last pages.  I'll look elsewhere for answers.

    Question: How can I format the hard drive?

    Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista

    Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    ____________________________________________________________

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    __________________________________________________________

    or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

  • Some General Questions of CVI - how does the compiler

    Hello

    I work with CVI 9.1 for more then a year during this time i ' v noticed a couple things, I would like to help me to understand.

    1. Work with several C files:
    • When I'm writing a software that uses lets say C files and files of 10 H 10: Main.c Main.h File1.c File1.h Panels.h Panels.uir and so on... I'm implementation of the function in the c file and its deceleration of writing in the file h, i ' v noticed that sometimes I get msgs of the compiler on the conflicts, maybe there's a way I know not just for the CVI?
    • Works correctly with the file UIR for example lets take the files written above, if I have sign - HAND and control led1 and I want to do SetCtrlVal in the Main.c I can implement as this SetCtelVal(MAIN,MAIN_LED1,1); but when I go to file1.c and try to do it, I get the error message that main_led1 is not a control value (I included the Panels.h) this problem happens to me a lot is there a solution? or maybe I am doing something wrong...
    • What is the best way to implement bollean var (true false) for the software? is it possible to add this var always?
    • decelerations of incompatible type: allows you to take the Fmt function for example when I'm trying to use it in another file, I get the decelerations of incompatible type with the names of the files...
    • General question: lets say I want to include in my project and I want to use its features in main.c and file1.c, I included in two files? or there is a way to include it in a single file only?

    2. to access the buttons

    • lets say that I have buttons and I am pressing on it after pressing the button I have a loop for 10 min, I want to create a button give up, but I can't press anything because the keys are "locked out" is there a way besides multi threading to implement this?

    Wow! A very broad set of issues!

    A quick response.

    • Works correctly with the file UIR for example lets take the files written above, if I have sign - HAND and control led1 and I want to do SetCtrlVal in the Main.c I can implement as this SetCtelVal(MAIN,MAIN_LED1,1); but when I go to file1.c and try to do it, I get the error message that main_led1 is not a control value (I included the Panels.h) this problem happens to me a lot is there a solution? or maybe I am doing something wrong...

    There is a basic error in your statement: the first (SetCtrlVal) parameter must be the handle Panel, which is the reference to the object in memory that is created when you call LoadPanel (). Using the name of constant sign is not correct: it may work if you're lucky and you have the Panel handle with the same value as the name of the constant, but this certainly isn't the correct way to address on a panel controls.

    Even if I don't understand the error that you declare: I expect 'the control is not of the type expected by the function' or an error of inconsistent data type (like passing an int to double check) or...

    Remember that each function that processes objects on a Panel must be aware of the handful of Panel, then either you pass to the function as a parameter, or store it in a global variable.

    • decelerations of incompatible type: allows you to take the Fmt function for example when I'm trying to use it in another file, I get the decelerations of incompatible type with the names of the files...

    I normally leave CVI #including the necessary system files: when I use certain functions like Fmt in a source file and compile ICB warns me to add the relevant include file, and it does it correctly. Operating in this way I never had problems with formatting and the I/o library functions. You can rebuild the inclusion list by removing all #includes in yous source files and compilation of the project, this should correct errors

    • General question: lets say I want to include in my project and I want to use its features in main.c and file1.c, I included in two files? or there is a way to include it in a single file only?

    You must include the file containing the definitions of the functions in all source files that use. Or you can create a general include file with all included in your project and include only this one in all of your source files

    • lets say that I have buttons and I am pressing on it after pressing the button I have a loop for 10 min, I want to create a button give up, but I can't press anything because the keys are "locked out" is there a way besides multi threading to implement this?

    It is a general rule that animates the CVI environment: during the execution of a loop inside a function (a reminder of command or another function) the system does not handle the user interface events, so that your buttons appear locked. This can be solved by adding a call repeated (ProcessSystemEvents) inside the loop: this way of all UI events are monitored and managed by the system.

    You must use this method with caution: before entering the loop, you must disable all the controls that can be used during operation (normally only the Quit button should stay active) otherwise, you can enter a situation in which other callbacks are executed during the loop that might interfere with it.

    In such a case, do not put a reminder in the stop button and the use of a global variable I have normally create a toggle button Stop and manipulate it in this way:

    While (1) {}

    ....

    ProcessStemsEvents ();

    GetCtrlVal (panelHandle, PANEL_STOP, &stop);)

    If {(stop)

    ... gracefully out of the function

    break;

    }

    }

    This argument has been discussed several times in the forums: do a search for ProcessSystemEvents returns a large number of discussions you can read

    • What is the best way to implement bollean var (true false) for the software? is it possible to add this var always?

  • How can I find my "network security key?

    Hello world...

    I am a netbook which is preloaded with windows 7 starter. My PC is 64-bit windows vista ultimate. I have an ADSL router that is connected to the computer with a network cable (yellow) - internet works fine.

    I'm trying to connect my netbook to the wireless router, and the netbook from asking a "network security key.

    Where exactly can I find it? I can't find that whatever this is named network security key to my router settings...

    Thank you very much!!

    The wireless security key is in the settings of your router. See below for how to configure a wireless network in complete safety. It will also cover where you will find these settings.

    Have a computer connected to the router with an ethernet cable. Examples given are for a Linksys router. See the manual of your router or the router mftr's Web site. for the parameters by default if you don't have a Linksys. Open a browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox and in the address bar type:

    http://192.168.1.1 [Enter] (it is default IP address of the router, which varies from router to router then check your manual)

    This will bring you to the login screen of the router. The default username is blank and the Linksys default password is "admin" without the quotes. Enter this information. You are now in the configuration of the router utility. Your configuration utility may be slightly different from mine. The first thing to do is to change the default password because * all * known default passwords for different routers.

    Click the Administration link at the top of the page. Enter your new password. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE. Re-enter the password to confirm it, and then click Save settings at the bottom of the page. The router will reboot and show you the box of connection again. Do not fill in the user name and put it in your new password to enter the configuration utility.

    Now, click on the link wireless at the top of the page. Change the network name (SSID) wireless by default to something, you'll recognize. I suggest that my clients not use their surname as the SSID. For example, you might want to name your network wireless network "CastleAnthrax" or similar. ;-)

    Click on save settings and when you get the prompt that your changes were successful, click the wireless security link which is just beside the Basic Wireless Settings link (where you changed your SSID). Most computers purchased during the last 4 years have the wireless hardware that will support WPA2-Personal (also known as WPA2-PSK). This is the desired encryption level. If your wireless hardware is older, use WPA. Don't use WEP, because who is easily broken within minutes. So go ahead and set the Security Mode WPA2-Personal. Do this and enter a password. For example, you could use the password ' here be dragons, beware you scurvy dogs! The password is what you enter on all computers that are allowed to connect to the wireless network. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE.

    At this point, your router is set up and if the computer that you use to configure the router will normally connect wireless, disconnect the ethernet cable and wireless of the computer should see your new network. Enter the password that you have created (exactly as you wrote it with all capital letters and punctuation) to join the network and start surfing.

    tblack1970,
    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers community forum.

    This should be something that your wireless adapter on your computer supports, or does not work.  It is not a feature of Vista, but the network hardware.  When your wireless adapter on your computer sees the router which has the active Protocol, it must ask the key and once offers you the key, it needs to connect.  If you do not see this option for your network card, then you should contact the manufacturer.

    What are the different wireless network security methods?

    If you plan to have a wireless network, you must configure the only people that can access your choice. Here are a few options for the security of wireless networks.

    Wi - Fi Protected Access (WPA)
    WPA encrypts information and it checks to make sure that the network security key has not been modified. WPA also authenticates users to ensure that only authorized individuals can access the network.

    There are two types of WPA authentication: WPA and WPA2. WPA is designed to work with all wireless network cards, but it might not work with the older routers or access points. WPA2 is more secure than WPA, but it will not work with some older network cards. WPA is designed to be used with an authentication server 802.1 X, which distributes different keys to each user. This is referred to as WPA-Enterprise or WPA2-Enterprise. It can also be used in pre-shared key (PSK), where each user has the same passphrase. This is referred to as WPA-Personal or WPA2-Personal.
     
    Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
    WEP is an older network security who is still able to support older devices, but it is not recommended. When you enable WEP, you configure a network security key. This key encrypts the information that one computer sends to another computer on your network. However, WEP security is relatively easy to crack.

    We do not recommend the use of WEP. WPA or WPA2 are more secure. If you try WPA or WPA2 and they do not work, we recommend that you upgrade your network card to those who work with WPA or WPA2.

    Authentication of 802. 1 X
    802. 1 X authentication can help improve the security of 802.11 wireless networks and wired Ethernet networks. 802. 1 X uses an authentication server to validate users and to provide network access. On wireless 802. 1 X can work with key Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or Wi - Fi Protected Access (WPA). This type of authentication is typically used when connecting to a network of workplaces.

    I use 2 machines to Windows 7 Professional 64 bit and 1 Windows 7 Professional 32-bit machine on a wired Ethernet network.

    The network works fine with one question. When I add a new file on the same machine and try to access this new folder from another machine the new folder does not appear. I have to disconnect the network drive of the machine with the new folder, and then map a new drive. When I map the new drive the new folder appears in Windows Explorer on the second machine.

    It's very frustrating when I want to add a file attachment to e-mail from another machine and it does not appear until I disconnect and re - map the drive.

    I hope this all make sense. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem? I don't remember this problem when my network was XP Pro machines.

    Thanks for your help.

    Thank you for your help.

    The I work around this problem is to do step 1 and step two, as you suggest.  I haven't restarted the computer though - I will also try it.  I have also not tell abled my ESET NOD32 Antivirus software either - I'll try that too.
    The network drive I'm seeing 'change' on does not refresh by itself, when I press F5 or go to view/update.

    However, I would like to test the deployment and operation of my software on different versions of Windows 7, Vista, XP, etc.  However, our society cannot afford to spend $1000 on all versions of Windows, we can find.

    Are there operating system free everywhere (which is legal) images that are intended to be used by developers?  Or, you must purchase a full license for all of these operating systems, just to do a little testing?  How do you all your images of BONES?

    I know that this is a very general question (and not technology), but I would appreciate any input all have just general experience.
