How to get two laptops to access the wireless network.

My chip wireless on a Dell Inspiron 1520 laptop (intel pro wireless 3954bg) can find the wireless network if I use Intel Pro software, but Windows cannot find the wireless network. My real growth problem trying to connect a second computer; an IBM T42 think Pad computer to the wireless network, but I get a message that the network is secure, and the second computer keeps trying to acquire an address, but will not acquire an address. He just continues to try to acquire again and again, he can never acquire it. This second computer using Windows to configure the Wi - Fi connection and was working fine until I tried to connect the Dell laptop upward. Then, the IBM laptop cannot acquire an address. I go around and try to understand it. Someone at - it information to solve this problem? Both computers are runing Windows XP Pro SP3. My wireless router is a Belkin54g (F5D7230-4V8000)

Thanks for any help,

You can control a with either wireless network adapter software integrated in Windows XP (or WZC Wireless Zero Configuration) or with software provided by the manufacturer of the card (for example, Intel PROSet/Wireless), but not both at the same time.

Most, but not all, software configuration wireless no Windows is smart enough to disable WZC automatically.

There are a few sites that offer "safety tips" for wireless networks which includes 'hide' your wireless network by disabling the SSID broadcast.  This is not a good idea and does not, in fact, your wireless security.  See http://blogs.technet.com/b/steriley/archive/2007/10/16/myth-vs-reality-wireless-ssids.aspx if you have disabled broadcast SSID of your router, automatic configuration won't be able to find it.

I get a message that the network is secure, and the second computer guard trying to acquire an address, but will not acquire an address

If you have enabled encryption wireless router (a very good idea), you will need to enter the correct password in order to connect a find an IP address. What type of wireless encryption configured on the router?

This second computer using Windows to configure the Wi - Fi connection and was working fine until I tried to connect the Dell laptop upward. Then the IBM laptop cannot acquire an address.

You have changed something else.  The idea of a wireless network is to allow multiple computers to connect; connection to a computer shouldn't affect how another computer connects.

The easiest way is to configure your router to connect a computer using an Ethernet cable (if you connect wireless, you will be disconnected when you make a change to the configuration of the router wireless).  For the Belkin router User Guide is here--> http://cache-www.belkin.com/support/dl/p74559-f_f5d7230-4v8xxx_manual.pdf

Open a web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc.) and type 192.168.2.1 in the address box.  You should get to the home page of the router. Click on the "Login" link at the top.  The default password for the router is blank (no password) unless you changed it.

Click on the link "Channel and SSID" under the heading "wireless" on the left side of the page.

  • Make sure that there is to check the "Broadcast SSID"
  • "Wireless mode" should be "g only" or "fashion g and b" (the latter is necessary only if you have a very old b wireless adapter in one of your computers)
  • I suggest you let off QoS (but click on "more info" or see what says the User Guide)
  • The wireless channel should be 1, 6 or 11.  If you have no difficulties, let him you will find
  • "Protected mode" should be off (but click on "more info" or see what says the User Guide)
  • If you make changes, click on "Apply Changes".

Click on the 'Security' line under the heading "wireless".  You should be able to see both what type (if any) encryption is configured (64-bit WEP, 128-bit WEP, WPA, or WPA2) and the password (if any).  Unless your computer maps are old, you should use WPA2.  If the adapter in one or more of your computers is too old to be capable of WPA2, use WPA.  Regardless of the bit, WEP length, is easily broken.

    Hello

    I just got a computer mobile opportunity and I can't connect to our net at all. We have another laptop and a PC that both executed 7 that connect to it no problem at all. It is very strange that the laptop works perfectly, displays the connection, but point blank refuses to connect! I wonder if it is because it is not password protected? (I know, I know, but the PC does connect to him otherwise, that's weird). Any help is most appreciated!

    Hello

    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.

    Make sure that if there are teas from Wireless Utility of seller does not work with the native Windows wireless utility (Service WLAN).

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

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

    Some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible set up the firewall correctly, 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.

  • Can someone direct me to resources on how you get TWO esx servers to the same storage array?

    Hi all

    I use:

    2 x Compaq DL380 G2 with 5i

    cards controller 5300 AND attached to the base storage Bay

    STORAGEWORKS ENCLOSURE 4354R RM DOUBLE PORTS U3 (not yet pregnant

    compatibility list).

    The first server appears to see the good in the console of the virtual server storage Center.  The second server will see s for only its own storage room tho.  How do both to see and use the same storage.  The concept is new to me, but trying to learn.  Is there something I need to see the same storage in the virtual Center for TWO machines esx Server?  All IM just not in the right place?  Thank you.

    http://communities.VMware.com/thread/78873 was a previous thread on this can enlighten us. Looks like the 4354R has the bus is divided into 2 x 7 disks and each connector in the back can 'see' 1 of the two buses. The quickspecs (http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/10624_div/10624_div.html) refer to "... allows access to two areas of storage separated from two different servers. So the first "thing" would be to get two buses attached together inside the unit so that the two connectors on the back see all readers, you must get the endpoint SCSI disabled on the device (you want termination on each 'end' of the cable that is two SCSI adapters in the servers).

    While you might be able to get the 4354R shared between the two ESX hosts, you can also get all the benefits of the shared disk + the possibility of vMotion, etc. by implementing the 4354R known as iSCSI or NFS storage. It also swings you back to something that is 'supported '. To do this, you have two approaches

    1. Fix 4354R on one of the ESX boxes, create a virtual machine that has access to the entire disk on the 4354R and run something like OpenFiler in the virtual machine to 'share' the disk via NFS or iSCSI

    2. Set up a 3rd server if you have one available and run the version of "bare metal" OpenFiler, or install Linux or OpenSolaris distribution and configure NFS and/or iSCSI target.

  • I cannot print to my photosmart C5280 of my laptop computer on the wireless network

    I have a Toshiba L750 running the operating system of Windows 7 32 bit and I am unable to print on my HP Photosmart C5280 printer. The printer is connected to my desktop which works on Windows 7 64 - bit OS with an ethernet cable. The printer works fine from the desktop and the laptop captures the internet wireless via the modem attached to the Office so that the network connection seems to be OK. I am also able to access the shared files on the desktop hard drive of the laptop which again seems to confirm that the network connection is fine. I tried to update the drivers concerned and all seem to be up to date. Previously, I was able to print from the laptop, but for some reason any, that he will no longer work. I have installed the printer software from the original CD supplied with the printer on the laptop to see if that would solve the issue, but nothing helped. I uninstalled from this software. I am at a loss and frustrated. I have also been through the printer Troubleshooter and Microsoft MrFIXIT, to anything will do. Someone out there of the clues as to what could be causing my problem? I might also mention that HP laptop of my son is able to print to this printer without any problems.

    Which, in my view, could have gone, it's that you used on your desktop printer sharing to allow other computers on your home network to access. Here's a video of Microsoft on how you can achieve:
