Hi dear, I just set up my connection wireless network with password

Hi dear,

I just set up my network with password wireless connection and configure my router on the IP 192.168.1.2. , but to be

honest im not sure person cannot access my network and record everything I have on my computr.is is it safe? Please tell me know if you

don't know.

Hi saba161,

If you have the security key settings of the wireless network that turns on encryption. With encryption, people cannot connect to your network without the security key. In addition, any information that is sent on your network is encrypted so that only computers that have the key to decrypt the information can read it. This can help prevent attempts to access your network and your files without your permission. Common wireless network encryption methods are Wi Fi Protected Access (WPA) and WPA2.

Safety is always important; with a wireless network, it is still more important, because your network's signal could go beyond the boundaries of your home. If you don't secure your network, people with computers nearby may be able to access the information stored on computers on your network and use your Internet connection to get on the web.

  • need to configure a connection wireless network with static IP address to make a panasonic wireless display of work on the virtual machine

    Hi, I'm new to macs and Fusion. I have a MacBook Pro 13 mid-2009, running 10.5.7 and Fusion 2.0.5, running Win XP Pro SP3 as the virtual machine (not in a bootcamp partition separate). I added a second network as a bridged network adapter (first one is set to NAT). I'm trying to connect my wireless panasonic (802 11b) to the virtual machine display, as I do on my old sony PC. Normally, I turn on the wireless on the PC, find the network wireless in Win XP and configure my SSID and necessary of static IP address and configure the NIC to search only ad-hoc connections (non-infrastructure). I also turn off the firewall so that it can work. There is a panasonic program runs on the PC (which I also installed on the virtual machine) makes it all happen once I have the connection. So the place that seems to be stuck, it's that I can't find a wireless to configure network adapter since--what the VM is a NA standard, so there is no place to specify the SSID, ad-hoc and disable the WEP key. Someone has ideas how to go beyond my current state?

    In addition, the panasonic only works at 800 x 600 for the display resolution, so it will automatically change the graphics settings. I guess that's not a problem on the VM, but thought I would ask in advance in case someone sees a problem with it.

    Thank you very much.

    Larry

    If the only way you can connect to the device is via WiFi, then you will need to provide your own WiFi USB network adapter to the virtual machine because Fusion presents only the network card Ethernet wired to the Virtual Machine, regardless of the host network adapter is the main map.

  • Unable to connect to a wireless network with Windows 7 computer laptop.

    After resetting my router netgear wireless home network, I have not been able to access my own network with my laptop. I already had access to the internet with a wireless ethernet cable and ankles bound to the router. After reset the netgear router, I was able to access the internet from two other laptops XP and an Acer mini wireless with no problems at all. But my new laptop Toshiba with Windows 7 could not connect, even if he could detect the network. I tried all day even resort to the ethernet socket and wireless cable, but even that would no longer work. I was able to connect using this same cable attached.

    Hello

    Seems that the Wireless does not work on the Dell.

    This is the process to try to find what wrong with it.

    ------------------

    Assuming that wireless router is configured correctly, it is a signal and the wireless card on the computer is physically in.

    Maybe this can help.

    These steps and tell us where is the breaking point.

    Check the Device Manager for the wireless card valid entry.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_dm.jpg

    If there is no valid entry, remove any entry from fake and re - install the drivers for the wireless card.

    Check network connections to make sure that you have a network icon/entry wireless connection, and that the properties of the icon (right-click on the icon) are correctly configured with the TCP/IPv4 protocol in the properties of network connections.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_connection_tcp.jpg

    ------------------

    The wireless card drivers much also install utility wireless of the seller.

    To ensure that if there is Wireless Utility a seller is not running with the native Windows wireless utility (Service WLAN).

    ----------------

    Make sure you firewall No. preventing / blocks wireless components to join the network.

    Some 3rd AV/Firewall/security software part, s costume keep blocking aspects of Local traffic even it they are off (disabled).

    If possible set up the firewall correctly, /Security costume otherwise totally uninstall and get rid of its remaining processes that permit the own local network traffic flow.

    If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

    party like Hello and NetMagic 3rd network managers can block local traffic too.

    ---------------------------

    Stack TCP/IP work should look like.

    Right-click on the wireless network connection card, select status, details and see if she got an IP address and the rest of the settings.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/status-NIC.jpg

    Description is the data of the card making.

    The physical address is MAC of the card number.

    The xx must be a number between 0 and 255 (all xx even number).

    YY should be between 0 and 255

    ZZ should be between 0 and 255 (zz all the same number.)

    The date of the lease must be valid at the present time.

    * Note 1. IP that starts with 169.xxx.xxx.xxx isn't valid functional IP.

    * Note 2. There could be an IPv6 entries too. However, they are not functional for Internet or LAN traffic. They are necessary for Win 7 homegroup special configuration.

    ---------------------------------------------------

    A message in the small window that says connected wireless doesn't means that you are really a valid functional connection.

    Above everything is OK, you must be able to connect to the router.

    Connection to the router means that you can enter the IP of the router base in an address bar in one go, being able to connect and configure the router menus see.

    If it doesn't connect to the router, journal newspaper from any computer that can connect to the router wirelessly with a wire, disable wireless security, make sure that the wireless SSID broadcast is enabled and try to connect with no. wireless security.

    Enable security wireless after you eat to make a functional connection.

  • C7250 connected wireless works with wired ethernet PC but not wireless PC

    C7250 installs fine with static IP address and wired (ethernet) PC works perfectly, but is not recognized by the PC wireless.

    Can ping the IP of the PC cable but not wireless computers.

    Can connect to the IP address of the browser and can logon to the wired PCs of wireless computers.

    When the wireless PC is connected to the network with ethernet cable the C7250 works perfectly.

    Firewall is not the issue because I tested with the firewall disabled.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you for your help.

    I FINALLY FOUND a RESOLUTION but let me describe what I've done to isolate the problem so that others will not do the same things I did.

    I used my Windows CE PDA and connected to the wireless router. I made sure that IE could access a different print server wired for a Brother HL-2140 I 192.168.2.10 and it worked. Who checked out that IE was working with a wired device. I then went to Yahoo!, and it worked. Then, I tried to access the C7250 configuration using IP 192.168.2.20 address in IE and it failed. (I checked with my Wired PC I could have access to the configuration of C7250 via IE.) I expected this result.

    Then I connected the PDA via USB and verified that I could use it to access the configuration of C7250 use IE on the PDA and it worked.

    I then tested between two wireless PC. Could not connect to each other through the router. But if one of them has been wired and one wireless they connected and I have consulted the disks between computers. I also tested the two cables with the same results.

    THE PROBLEM WAS IN THE ROUTER.

    These tests again virtually eliminated all PC, firewalls (since I've tested with the firewall disabled), the C7250 and the print server for the HL2140 brother as being the source of the problems.

    I then updated the firmware of the router to the latest version and repeated all the tests carried out in the complete thread and had the same results.

    RESOLUTION:
    The router I was using was a Linksys WRT54GS Ver 1.

    I also had a backup router which is a Linksys WRT54GS 7 worm that had the same settings as the Router 1 worm.

    I changed the SSID of the original router (Ver 1) so I would not need to change the SSID in all my devices during testing with the router Ver 7.

    I checked the firmware on the router worm 7 was the later and pulled up.

    The first test I did was to use a ping wireless PC the C7250 192.168.2.20 and it worked!

    I then used the wireless PC and IE to access the configuration of C7250 192.168.2.20 and it worked!

    I then checked the port for the C7250 was still a TCP/IP port to 192.168.2.20 and sent a test page to the printer and it worked!

    I consulted quickly wireless configuration C7250 and printer a test of a PC cable page and that worked!

    Finally, I tested PC wireless wireless PC PCand wired PC and the dirves successfully in both directions and checked that PC wired to wired PC was still working as before.

    All that remained was to supply two routers and router swap 1 worm with the Ver 7 router and rerun the tests with the router to Ver 7 manage my real network. Everything works as it should.

    I'll keep Router 1 worm as a backup to the Ver 7 knowing router unless the router worm 7 does not only feature that I lose when I reinstall the Router 1 worm is wireless connectivity to wireless, and I can temporarily work around until I get another router that is likely to be a "n" because what is have is ' G;

    Hello

    Please contact Microsoft Community.

    The main reason for this is that they at least have a device that is not working properly. We get generally 18 error code if there is a problem with the device driver, which is most of the time fixed by uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers.

    For reference:
