Hello

Maybe this can help.

Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq#trusted

Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

  • Home wireless network connection problems

    What should I do if I normally connect to the wireless network does not appear?  It is not a network card problem, because I can connect to other wireless and school and other places.  I tried to reset the router, ping and by unplugging and seeing what I could understand on the computer at home, but nothing does.  Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Have you tried other computers to connect to your router? You use both wire and wireless
    connection?

    Unplug the modem and Router 3 + minutes. And then reconnect the modem - when it is running
    Plug in the router - when it is running - restart the computer. This is known as a hard reset.

    Check with your router manufacturer support.

  • Recently installed vista update. I can no longer connect to my home wireless network.

    Recently installed vista update.  I can no longer connect to my home wireless network.  I get a message that says 'wireless link failed because windows did not receive response from the access point or wireless router.  I troubleshott he said of computing could be from low signal strength and yet it shows the strength of 100%.  Anyone have any ideas?

    Hello

    Check the firewall it is maybe it has been reset.

    In general.

    Most laptops have a physical switch for the wireless card. Read the manual of the computer and make sure that the wireless adapter is on.

    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

    Make sure that if there is Wireless Utility a utility vendor is not running with the native Windows wireless utility.

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

    Above everything is OK and it connects to the wireless router. Log in from any computer which is, or can be connected to the router with a wire wireless, disable wireless security, make sure that the wireless streaming is enabled and try to connect with no. wireless security.

    When the work turns on the Wireless security.

    Note * people sometimes make mistakes in writing and retype the password for security.

    Another way is to copy in the menu of the router and then paste it when asked of the wireless card.

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

    I really checked and configured every thing and it doesn't work.

    Software firewall application that is not configured to allow local traffic (between the computer and the router is also a possible problem.
    some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic.

  • Wireless network connection problem

    Nice day

    I have a wireless network connection problem and I ask for help to resolve.
    What surprises me that this problem appeared suddenly, I used to connect to the WIFI correctly but two days ago my laptop could not connect to the WIFI and more.

    Other devices and computers connect with success so I think that the problem in my laptop.
    I don't have any changes on my laptop or windows, antivirus, drivers... updates or installed new software.
    Troubleshooting of Windows detected 'router or access point issues '.
    -Reset the router does not resolve the problem
    -Network adapter is enabled.
    -State of wireless card "working properly" and "update".

    I read a solution on this site, which was to change the properties of the wireless adapter, but the changes mentioned does not appear in the pilot of my laptop...

    * My laptop info. :
    DELL INSPIRON 3521
    Windows 7-64 bit

    Sorry for this long to make, I appreciated all the help.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Have you tried to reset your laptop to a time before this issue started with a Windows 7 Restore Point?  If it is a parameter change or software this restore point can help solve what is at the origin of the problem.

    I'd also, of course, when you are resetting the router, to make sure that you let it sit for at least 30 seconds to a minute before plugging power back in.  You may need to do a few times to clear his memory to be able to connect.

    In addition, have updated the drivers for the wireless card?  What version of driver currently installed in the system?  You can consult our support site, enter your serial number and click on drivers & Downloads to find the driver for your wireless card.

    Finally, have you tried to empty the wireless profiles that are currently stored in your system?   If you delete the profile current wireless (which is to control your connection to the router), reboot your system, and try to reconnect Windows will rebuild the profile and hopefully allow you to log in again.

    I would like to know if any of this helps.  To help resolve this more effectively please click on my user name Dell Todd and send me a private message with the Number of Dell Service from your system.  Please keep all troubleshooting and discussions on this thread open so that others can find the information they need to solve their problems.

  • Satellite P15-8409, Atheros wireless network adapter problem

    Hello. I'm having a frustrating problem with an old laptop Satellite P15. I restored the phone to default settings using the recovery disk that the system was working very badly. After that, the wireless network adapter has stopped working. In the Device Manager "Atheros AR5001X + Wireless Network Adapter" is marked with a yellow exclamation point. In the menu properties, under general, the State of the device the following is listed:

    The device cannot find enough free resources that it can use (code 12)

    The operating system is Windows XP Home Edition. The same problem has been present in SP1, SP2 and SP3. I also updated the BIOS to V2, but it also did not help.

    At work, we use a wireless internet connection. At home, I have a DSL connection. Curiously, when I plugged the network cable to the House, the yellow exclamation mark disappeared and a wireless connection icon appeared in the network connections window. I assumed that the problem has been resolved by updating to Windows; However when I brought the computer in the office, the wireless adapter was once more in the State I described.

    I searched the internet for the same problem, but was unable to find anything. I would be very happy to help.

    all the best,

    James

    BIOS version is installed on your machine? And you have you recently changed some hardware etc...?

    I don't know what it could be, but in the worst cases, the wlan card has certain shortcomings. You can check this by getting somewhere such an atheros wlan card or intel and install it instead of the one installed.

    Maybe the exchange of cards should solve this problem?

  • Home wireless network connections cut - a router issue?

    I have 2 PC:

    1 desktop running XP (SP3) on a H61DE/S3 Asrock mobo and Intel G620 2.6ghz CPU. RAM = 2 x 2 GB.
    2. laptop running Windows 7 + Intel i3 CPU
    3 wireless router D-Link DSL-2680 =
    The office is directly connected to the router via an ethernet cable wireless.
    I created a wireless network which consists of my office and cell phones with the help of a USB and the XP Wizard on my desk. I then clicked on "Network Setup Wizard" in the Control Panel on my desktop (XP) and created the network connections.
    When I boot-up the two machines, I can see and access the connections network of desktop and laptop.
    HOWEVER, if I let the machines for a while and then come back, although I can see the icon for "DESKTOP" in my network places on my laptop, when I click the icon, the cursor looks like this market, but then an error window appears stating that it cannot find the device and I want to diagnose the connection. When I click YES, sometimes, it detects the OFFICE and sometimes it doesn't.
    The same thing happens on the desktop when I click on the "PORTABLE computer" icon in "My Network places".
    The strange thing is, when I try to connect via Start Menu / run / \\'IP address on the laptop or desktop, I can connect usually either to the PC.
    The questions are
    1 can you explain why I should b affected by these connection question - is this a problem of compatibility between window7 and XP?
    2. what type of home network, maintained by the router or directly between the laptop and desktop computer without involving the router?
    Thank you
    I assume that the HOMEDESKTOP, in this case, XP is the master browser because it is physically connected to the router and it is this machine that I created the wireless network and local.

    N ° master of domain is chosen in an election.  All devices have an equal chance of being elected little matter how they are connected. (A domain controller can always win, but that's neither here nor there).  The problem here is that the Win 7 machine doesn't listen to the broadcasts and therefore think that it is the only device on the network and therefore chooses himself as master of go.  The XP machine is involved in a normal election except that the Win 7 machine does not participate because he is not listening.  They both choose and for a while, you have two masters to browse.  The only listening to computer (XP) finally gets tired of hearing machine Win7 and abandoned as a master browser.  Win 7 becomes the only browser then, but it does not work because he doesn't listen to any computer on the network.  You can check this by bringing a window prompt (start-> Run-> "cmd") and enter the command:
    nbtstat - a HOMEDESKTOP
    or
    nbtstat - a ROMANLAP1-PC
    If the targen computer thinks that he is a master of travel, you will see a line "__MSBROWSE__".

    For some reason, keeping the folders "My Documents" opened on both machines maintained the connection for 15 hours that day.

    Anyway that you can keep the active connection, the machines will partner with the other.  Once a connection is idling, then it must re-establish contact and is when the master browser or a response of diffusion is necessary and the Win 7 machine is unresponsive.

    Try following all the steps in the article according to which apply to your configuration:

    I don't think there is a firewall in itself, but the way Windows 7 manages 'Home' vs networks 'Public' that can do behave like a firewall and cause problems with firewall-like. Article states that ' the network location is a setting that allows Windows to automatically adjust security and other settings according to the type of network to which the computer is connected.

  • FOJ 8500 909 g will not fully install, not accessible from the computers in home wireless network

    I bought an Officejet Pro 8500 909 g which worked well on our home network for 18 months.  Desktop is 32-bit Windows 7 with a USB cable.  Two wireless devices are 64-bit Windows 7.  Printer suddenly has not recognized the cartridges and frozen with the message "problem with the ink cartridge.  Called HP (unassisted) and tech support of holders of the contract of service - without help.  They sent a refurbished (even) model which I can't install on USB or wireless connection completely.  Yesterday, I was able to print at least one 3 machines on the network (not every machine wireless).  Today, I can not print even the USB device.  5 days lost uninstall then reinstall the printer software, router, etc.  Connected wireless network.  Printer says it is on the wireless network.  HP Solution center is not accessible because the "printer is not completely installed. Help?

    Hi EWQuince,

    The information you have given it seems that the printer is not on the same network as the computer. If the printer was on the same network as the computer, the IP address would be 192.168.1 instead of 192.168.33. You must run the printer Wireless Setup Wizard and make sure that you connect it to a network, the computers are connected. Once you have the printer connected to the same network all your problems should be solved.

  • Win 7 does not recognize that I am connected to my home wireless network.

    Recently, I upgraded my desktop and my laptop at home to Win 7. I'm trying to set up a home network, but on my laptop, I can't change my home network location. Even though my laptop is connected to the internet via my wireless router, Windows don't think that I'm connected to a network. When I click on "connect to a network", it shows that I am connected to my wireless router. When I try to set up a home network on the laptop, it tells me I need to change the network location of the Public at home, but since he did not think that I am connected, it will not allow to do me this.  I searched the internet and worked through it for hours, but can't seem to find a solution to this problem. Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Ideas:

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    I had this same problem.  I have a home group on my desktop running win 7 64 bit.  My laptop (win 7 64 bit) could not connect because the internet connection was showing pubic hair and I couldn't change it.  Here's what I did.  I deleted all my networks and groups off the laptop computer.  I restarted my laptop.  On my desktop, I went into Control Panel, home group and consulted my password.  I also need my wep key of wireless network.

    To better understand, my wireless network name is cleopatraiz

    On my laptop, I went into the wireless network connections through the status bar at the bottom right which displays all networks wireless scope.  I clicked on my wireless (cleopatraiz) and it prompted for the wep key.  I entered that and then I went into newwork & Sharing Center, was now showing my active network as cleopatriz, I clicked on choose home group and sharing options and joined using my password of the Group House of desktop computers.  It worked.

  • Satellite C660 - 2 7 - wireless network card problem or not?

    A couple of days, that I dropped my laptop maybe 3-5 inches above the ground and he hit the brick of charger with a small thunk. I have use it again until the next day and since then, internet connection has been patchy, at best, for the most part drops every 3-4 minutes (he always considers it is connected for awhile, but no page doesn't load and Skype shows no connection) and slow when you are connected.

    Running the tool to diagnose windows usually resets the wireless network adapter, also tells me reset the router and will often complain of DNS...connectivity/nameservers/something of this type, usually that they one after another, what is the problem is not really clear. This problem only occurs on the floor and everything seems fine down (the router is downstairs, but is not really further and is located next to the open staircase), but as it was only a few days, this could just be lucky and not relevant. Also the internet connection (ISP, BT terrible btw) has been terrible lately in general, have been on the phone to BT about it several times to complain with no improvement (because they have not done anything).

    Thus, it + pourrait + just to be the internet connection, I really only has not let down any high rise (it was a landslide while reaching to position it on the ground), he is poor at the moment and reset the router seems to have an effect, but does then reset the wireless network adapter (temporarily) and timing is a bit co accessory. I think that this is probably the Ondaaah just lost, but I'm not an expert or a techie and this is my first windows laptop to... Well, never! And I could be totally off. It is also been connected all the time that I was typing without problem, but I got it with the keyboard tilted up slightly to rest.

    Can anyone help? I don't want to get it looked at if nothing is wrong (especially if it's just BT once again, I'm about to give them up for another access provider), but I don't want to leave if it needs fixing and find it does any connect. Even a "Yes, it could be that" or "no, it won't be this" kind of reply would help ^^

    * Edit I ran the Toshiba assist, diagnostic tools and it passed all the tests by default, but he will try next time stops internet connection (probably soon)

    What is with the local network connection? Have you noticed similar problems link your laptop by using the LAN connection?

    Test it and send feedback.

    At least, you can install original recovery image and test the feature with the factory settings.

  • Router C4780 wireless network belkin problem

    I have a C4780 which worked well for several years with at least 2 previous routers. I have a Belkin AC1800DB have changed recently and now unable to connect to the router (laptops are connected wirelessly to Belkin WPA2 network without problem).

    When I run a network of C4780 test report it says local networks are detected (including Belkin WPA2) but shoes FAIL against network name SSID found. Similarly the wireless Assistant from the installation disc, the list of available SSIDS for the connection is empty. C4780 both Belkin have WPS, but this does not work in mode button or Pin.

    Because the problem is to find the SSID for all networks I do not think that his associate Belkin (just strange that the problem occurs at the moment I change the router).  But as the C4780 connected perfectly to my previous router, that I do not understand why I now this problem of wireless network connection.

    Any advice much appreciated.

    Try this.   Configure the router to a wireless channel fixed as 1, 6 or 11, never 'auto '.   'Mixed' mode, try now.

  • Laptop will not connect to my home wireless network

    I've had my laptop for a few months and my home network wireless also. My laptop has always worked perfectly until last night, I was in the living room and my phone cut because it ran out of battery. I went to restart, and when I did, NO network could be found, and several others usually appear outside my home network. The wireless switch is turned on and I rebooted the computer several times, I ran the wizards and shooters of boredom, I started the wireless zero configuration, but nothing happens. everything he says is "wireless networks could not be found", and when I click on the message, a black box appears with a message saying "windows has encountered an illegal instruction. I don't know what to do. my laptop model is a Sony Vaio, but that's what I know. My ipod connects to the wireless perfectly, so I know its my laptop that needs fixing.
