Impossible to get Vista Home laptop to connect wirelessly to C6380 printer
Hello
I bought a Photosmart C6380 and I think it is an easy task to connect to this printer boy I was wrong! I have been successfully connect this ptinter to my ASUS router/switch and could print from my XP Home Office, this computer is connected to the router with CAT5e cable. What I can't do is get this same configuration on my laptop VISTA home. I'm sure that the laptop is connected to my network (pourrait borwse the internet, was ping my office) but I couldn't ping the IP address of the printer C6380. It is not surprising that the HP software provided has not found all devices configured on the network.
What I have tried is the following:
1. I could ping the IP of my laptop VISTA Home from my office and I could also ping the IP address of the printer and printing is successful.
2. I could ping the IP address of my desktop XP Home from my laptop VISTA Home, but from here, I could not ping the printer.
3 disabled the firewall on the VISTA laptop, I still could not ping the printer (Destination unreachable)
4. updating to version 12 of the HP software and did all the updates from HP. Tried to find the printer, as before, the HP software could not see device at all. Ping the IP address of the printer came with the same results.
5 disabled IPv6 on VISTA NIC, Ping the printer, the same results - inaccessible destination.
I think I did everything what a sane person would not to analyze this problem without resorting to trace on the network packets. Is there something else I could try - something I've missed here? I'm not accusing VISTA Home right now! Looking at this forum, there seems to be a lot of problems related to wireless to VISTA - is that correct? (This may be down to the chipset wireless laptop?)
Kind regards

Hi there is WiFi Guy,
Trying to navigate between the parameters of 'isolation of user' in the wireless configuration, I noticed that for some reason any which parameters would remain unchanged or registered. I tried different settings, and there is no change at all! I did not understand why it is thought that there is an error with the wireless router. So I tried firmware updates (but none is available from ASUS) and even considered going with the OpenWrt firmare. But before we go down that road it dawned on me that the update of the page could be due TSE incompatible browser. Then I opened to the top of old trust Microsoft IE, instead of Google Chrome that I used to try to change the settings, down-and-here's the wireless settings page is not what I saw in Google Chrome! "4 X" and is therefore "user isolation. So i unchecked 'isolation of user,' the settings saved and restarted the router's wireless service. Now I can ping other wifi devices even the printer to my wireless laptop!
Tried my luck, installed the software provided HP and now the SW can detect the printer on the wireless network. Yes!
So it is a lession: somethimes it's the room the less obvious technology that you take for granted is in fault and nothing complicated at all!
Thanks for your help!

Hello. I recently graduated from a COMPUTER course that was very intense, but I don't think that it covered all the basics for me quite challenge the MCSA exams. In order for me to do, I bought a bunch of MS Press books covering ISA Server, Server 2003, Exchange, etc. My journey made us buy copies of Server 2003 and XP Professional, so that we can continue to practice at home.
One of the things I wanted to do has been implemented a network in my home, using the software I have (not about to try 2008, although I think that one of the books I ordered comes with a version of a test - but it is in a game for the MSITP exams).
This is how I currently have my network configuration. Currently, everything is wireless. I have 1 spare computer that I use as DC with active driectory.
Currently I have a router D-Link DIR 655 (located in the basement) which acts as a gateway to the internet server and dhcp on my network and WPA2-PSK encryption use.
I have a laptop with Windows XP Pro top (that I gave to my wife - old laptop I have baught strictly for the course, I took), and it is completely wireless. It is located on the ground floor.
I have an office (located on the 2nd floor) using Vista Home Premium 64-bit. It's wireless.
There is also a network of printers laser color next to the router in the basement, connected via an ethernet cable.
On the main floor is also my Wii, which connects wireless.
So, as you can see, it's a mixture of differnet devices connected through my router. I have the Wii or the printer to connect to the domain specifically. The printer must be accessible to computers on the domain, but the wii should just be able to connect to the internet via the router.
The spare box I have kicking around, I put 2003 on server and install active directory. I will also implement via this network storage server. I would like to put up to control the accounts of users of my wife and myself and that it uses roaming profiles.
This works very well when it connects directly through, but how to configure something like this works wirelessly? I read something on another forum in which is setting up a wireless bootstrap, to authenticate against a Radius Server, and then log in to the domain. However I don't have the money to spend to get ISA Server. The server will be basically be there just to provide roaming profiles and to store things out of our systems, incase we have problems with one of our computers. We could set up something for our own internal e-mail in the future, but since we live in the same House, it seems rather useless at the moment lol maybe set something in the future to let the other note or purchase or to do list. But for now, just want to configure what initially appears to be a single domain with roaming profiles.
Everyone has tried to do that? Connection of the wireless networks in a field, with a router provides the address and gateway?

Can not get the new laptop to connect to my wireless network but connects to others
I have just bought a new laptop Dell Inspiron 1545 to Dell.com and have tried to set up the wireless internet for the past hours. The laptop running Windows Vista Home Basic Edition, & my wireless router is an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station (about 4-5 years). Below is a list of problems / advice I've come across so far:
(1) when trying to connect to a network, my network don't appears in the list of local networks sporadically even if she lost the signal strength of any nearby wireless signal (I must refresh the list to make it appear sometimes)
(2) when my network is displayed in the list, it is described as a network that is not secure; There are 2 others that come and go in the list that are also not guaranteed, but I was able to connect through one of them.
(3) when I try to connect via my network it either says unable to connect immediately or poster progress bar, then after a minute or two, says that it cannot connect.
-to diagnose the problem, I can exclude is not not in the range of my camera as I tried to connect when I'm 2 feet more far
-It also says view wireless connections again and try again, but this brings me to the same screen
-L' diagnostics screen mentions that "the network is"hidden"and is either not in range of this computer or wireless settings on this computer do not match the settings of the network." (is there a setting I'm familiar with that?)
(4) I checked device drivers and all said that they are working correctly
(5) I can connect to the internet via a direct connection to the router via a cable ethernet not wirelessIn my view, that it is all the information I can provide about this problem. If you need more information, such as the specifications of the system, let me know where to find them and I will re-post. Thanks in advance for any help provided.

Well, it looks like the old router was the problem. You have a new N Wireless for about $80 as suggested and it works like a charm. At took 5 seconds for your laptop to recognize and connect to it and were without problems since then. Thanks again for the help guys... I hope that I won't bother you again =)

I'm sure it's maybe something simple, but for the life of me! (When my brother-in-law used this computer, he only uses it through dialup (!), he lives in a remote area). With the help of Vista, and when 'Management of connections' I see my network...

How do you get VISTA home premium install on hard drive replacement
I have a laptop HP which came pre installed with windows vista home premium WITHOUT install disks. (The license key is located on the sticker on the machine). The hard drive has crashed and had to be replaced. How can I get the disks to reinstall vista?
You can request a HP disk to reinstall Vista.

How to get Vista Home Premium recovery media?
I need to know if theres any websites to download the relocation of the disk for vista home premiumif anyone nows could you let me know please.
No.; It does not exist.
Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .
There is no Vista free download legal available.
Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.
Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.
In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.
See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.
Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...
Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.
Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.
They will tell you how to do this.
Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.
Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.
If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

Equium A200: impossible to get Vista installed on the new HARD drive recovery
Hello
After a failure of the HD I bought a Toshiba no AF HD which is defective
Now that I had to buy a replacement HARD drive that is a player of AF but no matter how hard I try, I can't recovery Vista Home Premium software to installI get an error "Windows cannot configure Windows" or something like this message.
Pointers would be most useful.
Thank you, Tim.
Usually, is not a big problem to install the Toshiba Vista image using the new HARD disk.
But I've already read in different threads that in the case of much larger hard drives the recovery procedure could not complete successfully.In which case you would not be able to complete the Vista installation by using the recovery disk, you can try to install the system using the Microsoft disc. In this case I recommend you take the Win 7 OS. Its much better than Vista OS.

I'm unable to delete documents, photos, etc. of my files by the usual method of mouse right click and selecting delete. The message "error 0 x 80090009: Invalid Flags specified" appears and click Try Again does not help. I emptied the Recycle Bin to make sure that it was not complete. I have Vista Home Premium.
Thank you. I have gone through articles. They were somewhat useful. It seems that the trash does not accept the delete, but I can work around it by removing permanently without going through the trash using the click, move, delete approach.

Wireless laptop cannot connect to Photosmart C5180 printer on network
I recently got a new computer, which is the main connection to our home network. We have a laptop and a Photosmart C5180 printer. I can't get the wireless laptop to connect to the printer, even though I have the shared printer on the pc. I have the printer connected to the pc via a USB cable.
I see the printer shared and available on the laptop, but get the error message when you try to print.
Does anyone know what I'm missing that will allow me to print from wireless laptop? It worked until I'm the new pc, so I know I'm missing something. Should the laptop have both installed printer software/drivers?
Yes, the printer directly connected to a router with an Ethernet cable will be the simplest solution.
Yes, all computers will be able to access the printer on the network as long as they are connected to the same router (Ethernet or wireless, regardless).
He shared from the computer and the printer connected to a computer with a USB cable are not a real printer on a network. This creates what is essentially a print server and the computer with the USB connection manages the interaction of this printer with all the devices on the network.
A USB connected printer sharing can be done, but it's a lot more work that the printer is connected to the router with an Ethernet cable.
It's really a lot more work to set up the printer with a printer shared over a network connection USB method true when it comes to do this with Windows 7.
Windows XP made it incredibly simple, but he was not very secure on a network. With Windows XP, all you had to do was to share the printer, and then install it on another computer.
With Windows 7 on both computers, you must configure a homegroup, enable file sharing and printers (disabled by default), share the printer and install the printer on the computer client / remote. In addition, this method will require the host to be on anytime for remote printing machines.
The printer is connected to the router with a Ethernet means that the functionality of the printer depends solely on the router being on (most are on 24/7). Computers will print regardless of the other computer either on or off. There should be a shorter time in the impression that a computer is responsible for printing rather than two computers.
Again, I will be more than happy to help you set up with the method USB shared with two Windows 7 computers if that's what you want. You find that it is much easier to use the Ethernet connected method to be simpler and more efficient to print well.
If you want, here's a little more information from Microsoft on sharing a printer between two units of Windows 7.
Setting up a homegroup
Activate the file & printer sharingand sharing the printer on a Windows 7 computer
As long as the printer & file sharing is enabled and two Windows 7 computers are in the same group of residential, you should be able to use the USB share method. Without these two two options being Setup, it simply does not work with two Windows 7 systems.

Laptop can connect wirelessly, but not through cable utp to the internet. Help!
I tried to connect my computer laptop windows 7 to the internet using a utp cable. Unfortunately, without success. Works with wireless, but in my dorm, I cannot use internet via cable. I tried to turn off the wireless, but that did not work either the comouter does not recognize that the cable is already connected. Please help me solve this problem.
Thanks for your help in advance! :)
I would check the cable carefully. Sometimes, some of the wires are loose from the plug. See if the laptop can connect to cables in other places. If possible, the problem is with the cable and not on your computer.
Good luck.
