Cannot print wireless

I can't print due to the "wireless network connection" doesn't have a valid IP address.  How can I fix this problem myself (an absolute non-techie)?

Hello

-Did you change your computer, after which the question began?
-Check if you are connected to the network?

The question seems more like a network connection problem. I would like you to do the following.

Method 1: run the Network Troubleshooter utility and see if the problem persists.

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/using-the-network-troubleshooter-in-Windows-7

 
Method 2: release and renew the IP (Internet Protocol) address and see if the problem persists.

has. click Start. Type cmd in the search box and press ENTER.
b. at the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:
ipconfig/all (there is a space between ipconfig and /)
The command ipconfig/all command displays for all your network adapters, TCP/IP in Windows settings.
 
If your IP address of your Local network connection is 0.0.0.0 or 169.x.x.x (where x is a number any), then your computer is not getting an IP address from the router.
If this is the case, try this:
·        enough ipconfig at the command prompt and press ENTER
·        ipconfig / renew in the command prompt and press ENTER

Method 3:

Note: The steps also apply to Windows 7.

  • my wireless network connection doesn't have a valid IP configuration

    Hello all I tried all the things after searching the Internet for hours trying to solve this problem.  my computer does not display the available wireless networks.  I tried to renew my IP with ipconfig and it did not work.  I have also reset IP/THC and flush the DNS.  This problem occurred when I tried to change the ip address of my router because it matched my modem so that I could change the security settings.  I was going back to my router ip 192.168.5.1 to correct what I did but I now can not connect to internet at all.  When I go to the command prompt and type ipconfig/all, I get media disconnected with active DHCP and autoconfiguration.  But I also noticed there is no IP listed for IPv4.  If anyone has any ideas on how to solve this problem, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Try to connect by Ethernet cable to your router.
    If this does not work either I suggest that you set your router to the factory settings and to reconfigure him.   I'm not sure what you did, but suspect he touched the routers DHCP service.  Most routers have a built-in reset that you press with a paper clip or similar button and hold for 10 seconds to reset.

    Quite suddenly my laptop (Toshiba) could not connect to my Modem and printer. I can only connect to the internet with a cable connection to the modem. The printer reports no problem with the connection. Troubleshooting report 'Problem with the driver for the wireless network connection card.' Problems also with ISATAP MS Driver adapter and Teredo Tunneling adapter. Software could not solve the problem.  A technician online know-how also faled to solve the problem after an hour trying everything - uninstalling and reinstalling, etc. He thought it would be a virus even though I have several active antivirus programs. Any ideas? Should I chuck the laptop away and buy a new one?

    If, as you say, you have several active antivirus running programs, they will conflict with each other and you will have no protection

  • Problems connecting to the internet using the wireless network connection

    I can't connect to the internet using my wireless network connection. I had made the diagnosis and he stated that "the DHCP is not enabled for the wireless network connection. I had checked the DHCP, but it has been activated!... Someone would give any suggestion for me to solve the problem?

    Open the run command box by pressing Windows key + R, type services.msc and press enter . Search The Client DHCP and check if it is enabled or disabled. If disabled then turn it on and see if the problem still persists or not.

    Open the run command box by pressing Windows key + R, type cmd , and press enter . At the command prompt, type ipconfig/all and press ENTER. Now, check the IP address, default gateway, DNS etc. If you find all the information is correct, but you cannot yet access the Internet so if you connect the wireless network is secure or not. To determine the glance to the wireless network icon in the taskbar, then click on it. It will show you the available wireless networks. If there is a "yellow shield" present on the network icon, the network is not guaranteed, if there is no "yellow shield" does while the network is secure. In a secure network, you might have a "network security key. In this case try to disable the 'Network security key' option for this network. To do this:

    Open Control Panel , click network and Internet , click network and sharing Center , click manage wireless networks on the left.

    In the list select the wireless network and do a right click, select Properties, Security disable tab all options that is, in security type do not select no authentication (Open) and to the type of encryption , select none . You can also activate the automatic connection and SSID settings to further enhance connectivity, on the connection tab, click to select the "connect automatically if this network is in range " and "check boxesto connect even if the network is broadcasting his name (SSID) .

    For more information click here and see how you can determine whether a network is secure or not.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/how-do-I-know-if-a-wireless-network-is-secure

    If the problem still persists, then check your firewall settings and make sure that the firewall is not blocking your Internet connection. Some software Antivirus has a built-in firewall and they block by default all unknown connection to the tightening of security.

    Try to restore Windows Firewall default settings. Open Control Panel click on network and Internet , click system and security , click Windows Firewall , click default settings .

    Hope this will help. Thank you.

  • 5525 printer cannot find the wireless network

    Help

    I'm not good with technical stuff and need help with this problem.  Printer works well before going on holiday - power off, including the CISCO router when we went away--returned and turned on any return, printer will not connect to the router again.

    Have reinstalled router without result.  All other computers, phones, etc. to connect to the router fine.

    Wireless network test that the MAC address filtering is enabled, they suggest however have checked this and it's not.

    Wireless configuration wizard can find the network but it just seems impossible to connect to him.

    Please assume the lowest level of technical understanding when you reply!

    Thank you

    Hi K27,.

    I see that you are having some problems getting your Photosmart 5525 reconnected to your network after just unplugging a bit. I understand that you have your information wirelessly, but I don't want to set a link here which will take you to our HP print and doctor Scan, which can help you check some things on the wireless network.

    Since you already feed the router to bike, I would recommend restoring the default values of network on the front panel of the printer. You'll want to have your printer on the home screen (should say Photo, Apps and copy). On this screen you want to touch the key/tool icon in the upper right corner, then you want to click on wireless and made scroll down looking for default network. Once you click on that it will ask if you are sure and you want to say Yes. Once that is done, I would recommend the router/printer power cycling tips that were previously provided and then run the wireless configuration that you've been already and it should be able to connect at this time.

    That should hopefully fix it for you, so let me know what happens and I wish you a nice day!

    Hello

    I thank you and wish you the same.

    I see that your problem has been solved using the HP driver that you mentioned on Thursday, November 18 in your message and the Express.sys is a problem with Windows install.

    I suggest to install the version of Windows install 4.5 on the system from the link below and then update the driver from the link that was attached to your question before and check.

     

    Step 1:

    Install windows install 4.5

    Windows install 4.5 Redistributable

    http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=5A58B56F-60B6-4412-95B9-54D056D6F9F4&displaylang=en

    Step 2:

    Update the driver from the link you mentioned in your previous post.

    I suggest you to check with TP-link if this model is compatible with Windows XP or not.

  • HP PhotoSmart restricted 6525 in the wireless network connection

    Hello

    I need to connect my HP PhotoSmart 6525 to a wireless network in my college dorm room.  IT supports the University has published the requirements for the connection to the restricted network and attention that many printers cannot. I looked on the HP website to see if my printer supports the protocols required, but information HP provides on the website is not detailed enough to tell.  I hope that someone on the forum can help me.

    Here are the requirements of universities to connect to the restricted network:

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

    • A device with a Wi - Fi adapter capable of 802.11 g, 802. 11A or 802.11n

      Note: 802. 11 b-only devices are not supported

    • To enable DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) to obtain IP configuration information

    • Operating system and drivers that support:
      • authentication of 802. 1 x (also commonly referred to as WPA-Enterprise or WPA2-Enterprise)
      • WPA2-AES (preferred) or WPA-TKIP
      • EAP-PEAPv0 (external auth) / MSCHAPv2 (internal auth) or EAP-TTLS (external auth) / MSCHAPv2 (inner auth)

    All connections to the campus network, no matter what either wired or wireless, must also bear the following (which are installed and enabled by default on modern operating systems):

    • IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4)
    • TCP (Transmission Control Protocol)
    • UDP (User Datagram Protocol)
    • ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol)

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

    Does anyone know if the HP PhotoSmart 6525 meets these requirements?  For example, he says "PEAPv0(outer auth)/EAP-MSCHAPv2 (internal auth)" or "EAP-TTLS(outer auth)/MSCHAPv2(inner auth)?

    Thanks in advance,

    Paul2

    "I could check on the web site of www.wi-fi.org HP Photosmart 6520 series is approved for"WPA-Personal"and"WPA2-Personal"and _not_ certified for" ' WPA-Enterprise and WPA2-Enterprise.  The Enterprise versions require the device to authenticate with a username and password, while the personal versions are not.  I also talked to the school, IT supports and independently, they have said that the problem with the help of authentication printers more is that you can not provide a user name and password.  Given that I could check with two sources independently, according to me, the definitive answer is that I can't use the printer with wireless network from business school.

    I'm under Intel Centrino Wireless n 1030 in Windows 7.

    I finally found an updated driver for the Centrino Wireless n 1030. It has been updated 5/2011 which was more recent than the version 12/2010 I had on my computer.
