By not allowing access to an account with administrator privileges. If they try to do it with a Standard user account, then they need to know the Admin password. If they don't know that so they cannot see the characters.

  • How to view the wireless networks that are available in Windows 2000?

    Hello

    I'm still on windows 2000 on a laptop IBMT20. Don't laugh, it works well.

    I have an Aironet 340 pc card installed and it has no trouble automatically connect to the nearest wireless LAN.

    But under XP, there is a facility to display wireless networks and gives their status.

    How can I do this in Windows 2000? Is there a utility that I can download and install on W2K?

    Any thoughts?

    Hello!

    Normally on the NB200 wireless communication can be activated with the key FN + F8 combination * and * in the BIOS.
    Check it!

  • How to hide the user network in Windows 7

    Hello

    I have a domain where we changed windows XP customers 7. It is one of the many areas in the school, so we do not want users to be able to see the network.

    I got through a few Registry hacks and an adm template to hide all references to the network in windows Explorer, but the open/save file dialog boxes do not respect this setting and the entire network is available.

    I managed to control this behavior in windows xp using "no entire network in network locations" policies and "no computers near me in network locations", but these policies are supported on "Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000 operating systems only. Will there be an equivalent value in Server 2008 R2 group policy that applies to Windows 7?

    Can anyone help with any suggestion to prevent users from being able to see and browse the network in this way?

    I scoured the group policies, but I have not been able to track down a setting that will allow me to control this behavior.

    I disabled the network discovery and I have also disabled the following computer policy:
    Computer configuration administrative-->> network-->> Link templates-->> - Layer Topology Discovery-->> activate the IO of the Mapper (LLTDIO) driver

    Computer configuration administrative-->> network-->> Link templates-->> - Layer Topology Discovery-->> activate the answering machine driver (RSPNDR)

    I'm now hacks out of ideas other than the registry to turn off the navigation pane in the open/save dialog box, but I already know of one application that we use does not respect the windows way of doing things so that the network will still be visible through this application.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    As I posted yesterday, I solved this by a pretty messy workaround. It is to import registry fragments set some properties of the Solution Explorer and using a custom ADM template to show and hide items in the open/save dialog boxes. It took a lot of time to work this out and it's not ideal - but it works at an acceptable level.

    Group Policy settings that are supposed to control this behavior (as I said in my original question) are "no entire network in network locations" and "no computers near me in network locations", but these policies are supported on "Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000 operating systems only" - it seems (to my surprise) no equivalent Windows 7 workstations. I tried to define these policies in case there has been an error in the description - but these settings have not been respected on the desktop.

    I posted this in several other places - another microsoft site and several other sites and have not found information on the relevant group policy settings.

    As I said - I found a workaround for this thread can be resolved/closed - but repost in another forum management should not be marked as an answer, because it does not help people who find this thread at a later date. I can reach some fragments of registry (for later import with a startup script or group policy preferences) and the appropriate adm templates if moderators think that here would be useful.

    Btk (billy the kid)

    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.

  • Equium L10: How to configure the wireless card to pick up the router?

    Am wireless news and putting in place Broadband BT BT Voyager2091 router. Laptop wireless button in 'on', but is unable to connect or view available wireless networks. How to set up the portable integrated wireless card to pick up the router?

    Hello

    First of all, I hope that your camera comes with the wireless network card and the wireless network adapter is listed in the device under network adapters Manager.

    The card must be activated first with wireless switch that you can find on the front of your laptop near the lights on the system (right). When the adapter is enabled using FN F8 key combination to activate the card. When you use the FN keys in the middle of the screen, you will see a small window. When the FN button pressed constantly, whenever using the F8 key the different symbol will be chosen.

    Go to START > Control Panel > network connections. Click with the right button on wireless network connection and choose Properties. Chose the WIRELESS NETWORKS, tab and activate the option called use Windows to set up?

    At this point the available networks are listed. Select view wireless networks. If your WLAN is listed here you must configure the connection if the password is set.
