I have a problem connecting to the internet with remote access.

Hi I have a laptop Dell Inspiron. I installed Vista and now I am unable to get on the internet. I use the dial upward at home. None of my ISP disc make me on the internet... It gives a message that there is a problem with the hardware. What can I do to fix this?  I had XP before and it worked fine.

Hello

Hello

Make sure you have the latest vista drivers for your computer which you can get your computer manufacturers Web site

go to their website and look for a driver and software download section

Enter your model number for the last look drivers vista then download and install

http://support.Dell.com/support/downloads/index.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=Gen

If there is no vista drivers available, you're out of luck and that the machine was not built by Dell for vista

If necessary, use another computer to download and save = copy to flash drive - transfer and then install them

    HI Maria,

    If you are using Vista, go to http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/06/22/reset-and-fix-broken-windows-vista-file-ext-and-type-associations-include-exe-com-sys-zip-lnk-folder-drive/ and scroll down to EXE and click or double-click it to run the program to restore EXE file associations.  Once done, do the same for LNK entry.  This should restore your programs and get the Internet icon to go to the internet rather than WMP.  If you use Windows 7, go to http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/19449-default-file-type-associations-restore.html. If you are using XP, go to http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm.

    If this does not work and it started recently, try a system restore to a restore point BEFORE the problem started.  If you use Windows 7, see:http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/700-system-restore.html.

    network/security problem

    I have a problem connecting to the internet. A windows security message appears requesting a user name and password. I spoke with my internet provider and they say it's problems with windows. Administering the computer was an old laptop that isn't in use anymore so I can't change the admin settings. Is that what you can offer and do you need more information about me?

    How you connect to the internet, dsl / comcast / wireless.

    The installation disk of your ISP to the main computer, then put it to the top with a modem what ever, after that you can reload the disc of routers and probably have to reset the default password,

    Once you get the configuration of your Internet service provider again then your router again you can re - enter the wireless or wired computers to the new network,

  • Problems connecting to the internet with my wireless router

    I have a WRT54GS v7 wireless router that I use with a modem ADSL ZyXEL P-660R-D1. during installation, I was unable to establish a connection to the internet, once my router is properly connected to my desktop computer and my modem. All the correct lights on my modem and router are turned on. Please help, I tried to turn off the two as instructed by the installation wizard, but who failed to make the internet connection works and I continued the installation process after many attempts. At the end of the installation, he said that my router has been set up, but I don't have an internet connection. What should I do to fix this?

    The problem you are experiencing is caused by the fact that you Zyxel and your WRT54GS both try to use the same 192.168.1.x subnet.   Your WRT54GS will not work properly if you try to put the same subnet on the LAN ports and the port Internet (WAN).  Also to note that the installation wizard will not work in your situation, then stop using it.  You will need to manually configure your router.

    There are two ways to solve the problem:

    Option 1) Change the subnet in the WRT54GS.    To do this, follow these steps:

    (a) turn off your network

    (b) disconnect the WRT54GS of other devices.

    (c) connect a single computer via ethernet cable, a LAN on the WRT54GS port

    (d) turn on your computer and the WRT54GS

    (e) point your browser to 192.168.1.1 and connect to your WRT54GS

    (f) change "local IP address" 192.168.2.1, then click the 'Save Settings' button and wait (3 to 60 seconds) of the screen refresh.  You will be probably disconnected from the WRT54GS.  Don't worry about this.

    (g) take out your browser and turn off the WRT54GS and your computer.

    (h) then, using an ethernet cable, connect the Zyxel ethernet port to port Internet (WAN) of the WRT54GS.

    (i) power of your network.  It should work.

    You will now access your pages of configuration WRT54GS to 192.168.2.1

    Option 2) the other way to solve your problem is to change your Zyxel to 'bridge' mode  (You will need to consult your Xyxel user guide, or your ISP website, to find out how to do this).  This will convert the Zyxel a real modem, and then he won't get an IP address.  After that, you need to configure your WRT54GS to your PPPoE connection for you.

    I guess that your Zyxel is a PPPoE connection.  If we perform a PPPoA connection, then does not allow Option 2 because your WRT54GS is unable to make a PPPoA connection.

    Additional notes:

    You don't need to do both options.  Choose one or the other.

    For a more normal web use including browsing, email, downloads, etc., or another option should work fine.  If you are an online gamer, you will probably prefer option 2, because this will make it easier to set up many online games.

    I have a problem with access to the internet on Windows Vista Business x 64 on VMware Workstation 6.5. My computer is Windows 7 professional 64-bit. I left everything default settings.

On my guest OS I am connected via Nat and when I start first of all my virtual machine that my network card shows as connected with local and internet access but after 5 seconds it only local changes. My host uses a system of IP of 192.168.1.x and my guest operating system is using 192.168.19.x. I don't know where to start. I tried google and know disp.

  • Problems connecting to the internet from my laptop

    My phone (Samsung A NP550P5C-S02AU running windows 7 Home premium) does not connect to the modem (which is a D-link DSL-2740 b - F1)

    For the past few weeks that I was able to fix this by resetting the modem/restart the laptop and I also did a full restore on the computer laptop but also completely reset the modem and updated the firmware. I also tried two different wireless, WPA and WPA2 security settings that solved the problem (although surprisingly, it worked for a few days during the passage of to WPA). For the last two days the laptop was not able to connect to the internet outside a few times where the connection lasted 2-5 minutes. We have several computers and portable devices in the House who seem to have no problem connecting to the internet, so I'm not sure of what could be the problem.

    Any advice would be appreciated

  • computer not automatically standby (formerly titled "impossible computer automatically sleep when it is connected to the internet with modem cable")

    Hi, I noticed recently that my computer (Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005) is unable to sleep automatically when it is connected to the internet with a cable modem. Change the settings for my current power mode and try a different feeding regime (diagrams of Windows XP default power and power management, I created) only solves the problem for 2 days at most. I also tried to change the settings for the other power plans mentioned, and yet once again, the problem was only set for two days at the most. I also tried turning off my computer, restarting my computer, recording Powercfg /Restore Default policies in Run, saving sfc/scannow in Run, and again, I got the same result. Reset and power cycling the modem cable is not helped either. To help you better understand the problem, for example, if I had the date set for the screensaver set to 1 minute, the time for the monitor to turn off set to 2 minutes and time for your computer set to 3 minutes, the screen saver activate after 1 minute, the monitor turns off after 2 minutes, but the computer would not sleep mode after 3 minutes , even after an hour or more. I tried to check the Task Manager, and I have not noticed any process that would be interrupting the day before. However, I noticed that when I turned on the monitor by moving the mouse, even when the computer was unable to sleep and unplugged the ethernet cable from the cable modem and waited, the computer has entered standby as it should have.  I tried to find a solution for more than a week, contributions for this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read my post. (Update: it seems that the problem is something else then my cable modem.)

    Hello

    Thank you for the update.

    This behavior can occur because of possible conflicts of third-party software, which includes the third-party security software.

    You can also temporarily disable third-party security software and firewalls installed on the system and check the issue.

    If disabling the antivirus software solves the problem, you may need to configure the settings of the antivirus as a result program. Please contact the software vendor for assistance in this regard.

    Note: be sure to enable the security software on the computer after checking the issue.

    Note: When you perform a clean boot, you can activate services for the modem, network card and disable third-party services to check the issue.

    Hope the helps of information. Let us know if you need help with Windows related issues. We will be happy to help you.

  • How to access Windows 8 PC on the Internet with remote desktop connection?

    Hello

    Can someone tell me how to access Windows 8 PC on the Internet with remote desktop connection?

    I'm good with the software and I have used many Microsoft software since the 1980s. So I like Microsoft products, but since they have outsourced their tech support, you can't support quality even if you pay for it. I followed all the instructions in the Windows 8 will help about DRC setting screens, but I can't connect unless I'm on the same home network. Here are the details:

    I have a desktop PC with Windows 8 Pro and I have authorized the DRC. I tried two settings in system properties:

    1. Allow connections to this computer remotely.
    2. That allow the connection of computers running Office remotely with authentication NLA.

    I also turned on both private and Public Windows Firewall settings > allow an App or feature through Windows Firewall.

    I have installation then DRC to my laptop with Windows 8 (standard edition, not the Pro version). I have a DRC using the full name of the computer and other DRC using the static IP address for my ISP Desktop connection.

    I use the user account administrator Windows for connections of DRC of the laptop.

    I cannot get this to work on the Internet from a location outside my house with another ISP connection. The only way it works if I'm uncomfortable with the laptop using the same network home.

    I called Dell tech support and it is always useless and just a more aggravating waste of an hour to talk to their support of technique outsourced in India (who barely even understand English) and then they hang up the phone as it was supposed to be disconnected. I also called Microsoft support and lost more than an hour to speak to their outsourced tech support in the Philippines (and as support of the India, they hang up or 'disconnect' when they cannot answer your question and they go account learn you more about Windows while they do). U.S. tech companies use AMERICANS more for their technical support so their customers can get people who actually care about doing a good job and can actually understand English?

    So if someone who knows using Windows 8 for DRC on the Internet has some tips, then it would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!!

    P.S. If anyone is offended by my comments about the ugly, incompetent, stupid providing "technical support" in India or the Philippines - Nevermind! You go ahead and waste hours of your time talking to some Morón in these countries, who barely understands English and then 'disconnects' the call when they know that you realize that they are clueless and have all the answers.

    Take a look at no - IP.com or dyndns.com, and then use your host.domain:3389 of no.-ip/dynDNS or run RelaVNc SErver that is running on port 5900 by default.  Server options allow you to change the port as well if necessary.

  • Wireless connectivity problems: Windows Vista displays connected to the internet with good signal, but cannot access the internet more than a few seconds.

    Hello

    Recently, I brought a Dell with Windows Vista and a Belkin Wireless adapter in my house somewhere else. The computer has never had problems connecting to wireless internet on the other networks, however since the move I was not able to access the internet. Sometimes the network shows only a local connection and not Internet and other times, the network has a strong signal, a network identified and even an internet connection, but when I open any browser, it is only able to load the Google homepage and I cannot navigate anywhere else. I turned off all firewalls and even uninstalled all 3rd party software protection. I checked all my browser settings and made sure they detect automatically the IP settings and proxy settings. In other words everything seems in good shape, but I still have no navigation capability. Any ideas?

    It turns out that I had to remove all the old Wireless USB software that had been used previously (there had been other versions of Belkin and Linksys). I then used the computer from my friend to download suitable driver on the Belkin site for the internet adapter USB I used and BAM.
