Help! -Lack of software to connect to wireless networks.

Hi all

I bought an IBM Thinkpad T42 Type2373 (Made in 2005) WIPED for a young man named Andrew who I am a Mentor for. His family cannot afford it. I installed Windows XP Professional on this topic and went through hundreds of automatic updates from Microsoft. I also installed NIS 2010 and update this AND more still software too.

Now, knowing he has a Pentium M Processor (1.7 Ghz), I should be able to connect to wireless networks. Right now I am connected to a router Linksys, this is how I'm connected to the internet.

Obviously, Miss me some software to be able to do. I looked online on the Lenovo site and I saw so much, that I don't know exactly what I need. I know I need an icon to click that search networks wireless in the region, but there is obviously more software I have to install.

Any help from any of you experts out there would be greatly appreciated! Thank you very much, and Andrew Merci you too!

Tom

  • Satellite Pro refuses to connect to wireless networks

    Hi guys! I need your help!

    My laptop Satellite Pro has suddenly decided to refuse to connect to wireless networks.
    all except my home router from the sky.

    I have moved since and am not able to connect to the free public Wi - Fi.
    No error message; Just click to connect to a particular network and nothing happens.

    I've been back home since and it connects automatically.
    I have Windows 8 and have not been able to find any trace of the Sky network to deselect etc.

    Any ideas?

    CAL

    > I've been since back home and it connects automatically.
    This means that you can connect to your WiFi network at home without big problems?
    This indicates that s laptop WiFi connection works correctly.

    I put t know what Satellite Pro, you have exactly, but have you checked if you can update the WLan driver?

    What happens if you change the Wlan standard? (802.11 a / B / G or N)
    This can be changed in the Device Manager-> card WLan-> properties-> Advanced tab

  • Unable to connect to wireless networking

    My Toshiba laptop has been pre-installed with Windows 7 Home premium 64 - bit OS and it worked quite well with the BB wireless. However, the wireless internet was on and turned off in recent weeks, while other mobile devices, such as iphone, ipad, or laptop, in my household had no such problem. The wireless signal was so strong, but the error message always says "unable to connect to wireless networking. It seemed that there was something wrong with the wireless adapter.

    I got a new adapter properly installed TP-Link wireless. Fortunately, it worked; but unfortunately, it worked for less than 24 hours. It was really frustrating that I, like student full time, depended so much on the wireless network card.

    Help, please! Harry

  • Can I connect to wireless networks far away?

    How to connect to wireless networks more away?

    Is there any way I can improve my reach wireless laptops so I can connect to wireless networks more away?

    Hello!

    You can only connect to wireless networks that recognizes the laptop. If the laptop recognizes a wireless network, you can connect to them. If he doesn t recognize (because it is further away) you can't connect.

    In addition, you cannot improve the scope of the laptop wireless. You can do it on a WIFI router, and not on the laptop.

  • Problems connecting to wireless networks

  • Please HELP Access Connections: No Wireless Network found-> error code 117

    Hello

    Lenovo 3000 N1000 with 1 GB Ram, Win XP SP2, bought in May 2006. WIFI network with WPA - PSK key worked without any problems so far and is still accessible with the PC.

    After the transfer of music through my mobile to my mobile Bluetooth maps network seems to be disconnected. Dial-up connections (AC) or Windows can find any wireless network. Also if I try to configure any LAN, WLAN with Windows I get the message that all network cards have been removed. However I can't find any problem in Device Manager as all parts are shown to work OK.

    That's what I've done so far:

    (1) radio checked turn on--->

    (2) FN + F5--> connection on

    (3) AC uninstalled, downloaded and installed the version more current (5.00 Build 7VCX32WW)

    (4) installed new version wireless driver for Intel (r) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG (version 12.0.0.82)

    Yet, even if I uninstall AC to check that if the WIFI doesn't work at all, Windows gives the message that all network components have been removed.

    Diagnose gives tool the following output:

    'Stack initialization failed wireless error code 117'

    Log file:

    Description: Intel(r) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection

    Hope this is enough information for all of you to suggest a solution. That I have seen previous discussions, some of you have had similar problems in the past and could fix it somehow. However, I couldn't find someone with exactly the same problem.

    Thanks a lot in advance for any advice you may have.

  • Unable to connect to wireless networks more. ("Windows could not connect to (SSID)")

    Hello!

    Something very strange is happening with my laptop (dv6-3060ee). Up to this day at noon, everything worked well, including the wireless network. So, I set my computer to Hibernate and came to the House of my parents. As I turn it on and try to connect to the wireless here, I can't. I get this error "Windows could not connect to (name of the network).

    I'm on W7 Home Premium 64-bit and the card wireless in an Atheros 9285 b/g/n (model number can be a problem, I have it does not properly check).

    Things to consider:

    -I don't know that this is not a router problem or hardware WiFi card because:

    1. I can connect to the router and get internet access on my phone and with the other computer normally.

    2. on the laptop, I can not connect to the network without wire inside W7, BUT with HP QuickWeb (this system of Opertaing before loading windows), I can normally connect to the network and access to internet.

    -Have you ever tried, without success:

    1 reinstall the driver for the wireless card / Unistalling the driver and install it again

    2. change the encryption on the router. (Even with no encryption I can't connect)

    3. of course, restarting the computer, turn off/on of the network card, reset the router

    So, I'm sure it's a problem with Windows. I did some research here and in other places and other people seem to have the same problem, but I couldn't find any solution.

    I didn't install any software today which could cause conflicts.

    So, can someone help me, please?

    Thank you

    Thank you for your help, but I'd already sorted.

    The problem was really the driver, an update had been installed by the HP update program and it makes the device stop working. This problematic driver was March, I can't remember the version number.

    I went to the Device Manager and pressed on "Roll Back Driver". Windows restored to an October/2009 driver, 8.0.0.238 version number, and now it works as it should.

  • Photosmart more B210b: printer not connecting to wireless network

    I try to install the printer, which has worked before with a different wireless router. I can't connect to the network, even if the print network configuration page says PASS and YES at all the right place with this new router (DB of Belkin Wireless Router N600DB).  When I connect to the router, the printer does not appear in the list of connected devices, but the printed page says it IS connected (has assigned IP address192.168.1.100 on the page). When I try to install the device and connect it to the laptop computer, the IP address is not recognized.

    Both devices are in the same network (belkin.b2.c)

    I've completely disabled the firewall, I install it, both in the protection antivirus software, windows AND router, have revived all 3 devices (printer, router and laptop), but still unable to connect.

    I'll be very grateful for your help.

    Thank you Dragon-fur

    I have a problem with your suggestion and a question.

    First problem: I can't change the SSID name or to change other settings of the printer because I can not connect at all.

    The question is, I see my router dashboard that the Pool of IP address of departure is 192.168. 2.2 and the Pool of IP address is 192.168. 2.200 now, IP address, I can see the printer is 192.168. 1.100 as you can see, the range is different. This could be a problem?

    Comment

    The printer is on a different subnet from the rest of your network.  Yes, it's a problem.

    The printer and the router - and indeed, the rest of the network - these must all be on the same subnet.  Any network - but they are to be on the same.

    For example:

    It is not important whether you choose 192.168.1.1 for your gateway router

    OR

    whether you choose 192.168.2.1 for your gateway router

    The rest of your computers, printers and devices must be on the same network of "sub" as the gateway router.

    You can try changing the IP of the printer on the printer control panel if you can't connect with EWS (built-in web server).  Push the printer over subnet 2.

    Maybe give printer IP address: 192.168.2.226

  • Hp1102w connection printer wireless network problems

    I can't get my connection between my Linksys WRT54G and my printer wireless hp1102w wireless. The configuration page shows the following: network not connected, I have a host name, hardware address. There is 0.0.0.0 for IPv4, the IP subnet mask & gateway IP. Configured IP said manual.

    Also my iPad4 does not see the hp1102w printer, do I have to download the software? I don't have a USB connection? I am very new to the Apple OS, if you couldn't tell.

    Salvation, TarNation,

    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!

    I understand that you are unable to set up the printer on the wireless network.

    I'll be happy to help you.

    Please provide the following information so that I can better help you.

    What operating system do you use?

    Mac OS X: how to find which Mac OS X Version is on my computer?

    You also have a PC?

    Once the printer is configured on the network, the Ipad connects on behalf of network from the router and the printer should allow you to print using Airpint. You don't need to download software for the Ipad.

    Thanks for posting on the HP Forums.
    Have a wonderful day!

  • NB200 can connect to wireless networks, but cannot connect to the internet

    I could connect my Win XP netbook to my network wireless secured to the House, other networks and public networks such as the library and McDonald's. This week, I am away from home and discovered that while I can still connect to a number of different wireless networks, I can't connect to the internet with Internet Explorer.

    I had this problem once before and fixed by reinstalling Windows XP and all my other software. I have no idea why it happened again. I'm hoping for a less radical solution to the problem... ?

    Hello

    You can try to renew the IP address.
    Got to RUN and type CMD.
    This would start the console (DOS window)

    Here, you use the command: ipconfig / renew

    It s also advised to update the Wlan driver. I've noticed some problems with older drivers for Wlan

  • Satellite A200-244 does not connect to wireless networks

    Hello
    I bought a Toshiba Satallite A200-244 a few months back. It worked falwlessly with my Virgin internet router from the beginning, but suddenly I am disconnected during navigation. I was not able to connect to the network since. It shows the network when I try to connect it says * unable to connect * I diagnose the problem, but still does not work. I know somethings wrong with the laptop, because the other companions of House have no problem connecting to the network.

    I tried the things:

    -Put the router for 30 seconds and then turn it back on.
    -Updated network adapter drivers. (Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG)
    Search - forums but they all say of the complicated stuff related to the register and all, tried what ever I could catch.

    Tech gurus out there, please help me!
    Thanks in advance

    Checked settings in Windows? Maybe there's something wrong in the configuration DHCP network or something.

    Turn off the router, unplug it from the power source, wait about 10 minutes, plug in the power supply and turn it on.

    If the problem persists, you should load the router factory settings. Then after you should check, if the router and the wireless network adapter using the same standards.

    As much as I know ConfigFree has no influence on the WLAN functionality because this utility is created for monitoring and not for configuration. When you want to use the WLAN connection do not forget that the wireless network adapter is correctly activated. If the connection is untied time trying to WLAN driver update.
