I think that I broke the internet. Unable to connect via WiFi

I don't know what happened, but for some reason, my laptop does not connect to my home network.  I tried to plug directly into the router with no luck.  I also tried to download the new drivers w / laptop from my friend to a USB key, but that was of no use.

Just to let you know:

It is an equipped 64 Vista DV4-1140go.

I am able to connect to my network wirelessly with my BlackBerry and laptop my girlfriend via wifi.

I am also able to connect to internet with Xbox plugged into the modem.

Thanks for any help.

Well, it turns out it was Norton all along. I thought that I had uninstalled completely until I came across this link Norton Removal Tool.

I then decided to test McAfee because Comcast (isp) offered free of charge.  Well, today they no longer offer McAfee. Instead, there is a link that says "with McAfee? Time to upgrade to Norton free with Comcast"LoL FML

  • How could I give priority to my network connections, (without turning off the strap attached, as it took), so that it uses the internet from my main network connection?

    Prioritize network connections

    OK, here's the situation.
    I have a regular ethernet connection that provides me with a network and the internet.
    I have also a tablet PC which I attach to my PC so I can use it as a controller. (Not that it is important, but it's for a DAW/Midi controller)

    My problem is that whenever I place my tablet, PC starts by ignoring my normal connection and taking the internet from my Tablet (even when it is not connected to the internet). As a result, my internet is de-energized once I tie it, if I'm not as under the wifi on my tablet.

    My question is, how could I give priority to my network connections, (without turning off the strap attached, as it took), so that it uses the internet from my main network connection?

  • HP 15-ac152sa laptop: wifi tab disappears from the network settings menu. Unable to connect to wifi

    I bought a new laptop. I connected to the WiFi network with no problems the first time. I have downloaded Microsoft office 2016 (home and student). The next time I turned on the laptop, the icon WiFi in the corner of the screen says "no connection available.

    On the tab "network and internet". There is no tab for WiFi. Initially, I managed to fix it by clicking on the 'network card', 'properties' and on the 'power management' tab, I unchecked the box indicating "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power. This fixed the problem... until the next time I turned on the laptop. It's the same thing and I am unable to connect to internet via WiFi.

    The single adapter in the list here is "Realtek PCI-e FE family controller #2". Still unable to connect to WiFi... Still no WiFi tab under settings "network and internet". Help, please!

    So, the problem was finally solved (fingers crossed!).

    Yes, the Internet access worked perfectly every time when it is connected through the Ethernet cable. Ultimately I phoned the helpline. They checked for the new driver updates (these have been already updated), restored the BIOS remotely and then restored the device to the factory settings. Start of the fault still took place intermittently. This indicates a hardware problem, and the unit was sent for repair.

    The idea was that when the WiFi did not work, the WiFi card wasn't physically visiable in the list of available adapters, nor has the Bluetooth adapter. Apparently in this device, the Bluetooth and WiFi functions are on the same network adapter and apparently those elements should not disappear from the list of available adapters. So the fact that they disappeared together intermittently indicated a hardware problem with the card.

    Now that I got my laptop back and I think that the WiFicard has been replaced. Hoping all is well now and I hope this post helps someone else.

    Thanks hp for fast and wonderful customer service.

    Temporarily disable the security software on both computers and check if it makes a difference.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats.  In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
