  • How to lock your laptop when the lid is closed.

    Hi, I would like to know how to lock the computer when I close my laptop something similar to press windows + L. I don't want to put my laptop in prolonged standby/sleep mode and do not want to set a screen saver due to watching movies and other. Surely, there is a parameter that can be tweaked to make this happen if it is not a visible option?

    Because you don't want your laptop to sleep/hibernate just by closing the lid, the only way to lock your computer click Start and close this computer or windows logo press L and then close the lid of your laptop

  • How to access multiple VMs on the network with nic 1 host?

    Greetings,

    I have a server vmware running windows XP with 3 virtual machines in suse. I would like to access the 3 virtual machines from the network at the same time. The vm 3 has their own static ip address. I use the bridge network mode. There is only 1 NETWORK card on the XP computer. With this configuration, I can access only 1 vm the network at a time. When I added an another NIC and jumpered it on a second computer, virtual, then I can access 2 at the same time.  Any ideas on how I can access all the vm 3 at the same time on the network with just 1 NETWORK card?

    Even if you only have a physical NETWORK adapter, you should be able to access all the guests at the same time when they use bridged networking and have a correct IP configuration. Can you put your host IP configuration and your guests so we can check it out. Make sure the guests are really "bridged" and disable all firewall during the test.

    If you found this information useful, please consider awarding points to 'Correct' or 'Useful' answers and answers. Thank you!!

  • How to reconnect my state of mobile network (currently disabled)

    Hello

    Currently my phone can make calls and send text messages, but it will not send/rx data type calls. The H icon + appears and I'm in a zone of signal is good. A Wi - Fi connection works fine. In the status of phone menu, I see a potential problem that the State of the Mobile network is set to "disconnected." Type of mobile HSPA network (meaning what?) = State of Service = 'in service', and I'm on AT & T network.

    Does anyone know how to recover my mobile network state on?

    This is my 1st post on motorcycle forums

    RAF

    Well the live chat online with AT & T was pretty useless, other than to have to ensure that nothing on their side was the problem. I had to do a reset to get the phone working properly again so now everything works fine. I backed up my data using My Backup appp so I was able to restore everything.

  • How to remove or delete profiles redundant network (names) of my office and laptops running Windows 7?

    With Verizon DSL modem in bridge and as a router Linksys WRT 160N, my desktop and laptop computers have been in a network.  Laptop computer and printer via wireless and desktop wired.  The name of the network used to be the same for all connected devices.  However, when my Linksys gave the soul about a week ago, I reconnected it via the Verizon Actiontec WRT704G modem/router combination and since I could not print from the laptop, and it takes about 5 minutes to print 2 pages of my office.  The network name on my desktop by default automatically to the network 4, and on the laptop, there '2' after the former name of network.  With different network names, I couldn't set up my home group.  But I have access to the internet on both computers.  The network name (SSID) on the site config the router and the printer is the same: the former name of the network without the '2'.

    I need help or advice on how to clear or remove these other network names and have just 1 network name for all connected devices.  I know that in Vista, you can merge or remove network profiles but can't seem to find a way to do this under Windows 7.  Also, my laptop is Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit and the Office on Home Premiun 64 bit.

    Thank you

  • 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.
