Internet, home network ONLY

My laptop connects to the router and leaves the internet very well.  It will not connect, however, on other computers on our home network.  I ran the wizard several times and it seems to work very well, but he never finds the other computers on our network.  I have six other computers on our home network that connect with each other very well.  What is the problem with the laptop?

I just did a full erase of the C:\ drive and reinstalled everthing.  I wonder if something just have relocated to where it belongs.  Any ideas?

Blissfulsoul,

For Windows XP Home Edition, the maximum number of other computers that are permitted to simultaneously connect over the network is five.
For Windows XP Professional, the maximum number of other computers that are permitted to simultaneously connect over the network is ten.

    What version of Windows XP is on each computer (Home, Pro, Media Center)?  If you can connect to Windows, made a click right my computer and select Properties.  Also a report of the service pack.

    If you use the built-in account named 'Administrator' for daily use and connect your computers between them and the Internet "without protection of firewall or a virus", you should probably do a clean install of Windows on both computers.

    If you have important data on computers it back up to an external drive and scan with good antivirus and anti-malware applications before copying this back on your computers (after install it clean).

  • I can connect to the internet, but not to my home network

    I have a PC running Windows XP SP3, which is connected to a Linksys WRT300N router. I have access to the internet. I can not connect to my home network; don't know what happened. all (3) computers are set to the same workgroup name. I can't find anywhere in the network settings for WinXP that relates my network name. Help!

    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    I guess that the other two computers are working properly and that it can network together and that the only problem is the XP machine.  I'm also assuming that this problem persists when the firewall was disabled (including hidden like the one in the Cisco VPN client).  I also assume you mean by "is no longer connect to my home network" that you can't see other computers in your network neighborhood. See if this article helps you:

    Hello

    A message in the small window that says connected wireless does not mean that you really have a valid functional connection.

    Linking the means of router you can enter the IP base of the router in an address bar in one go, being able to connect, see and configure the router menus (extended to the wireless router manual should explain how to do).

    If it will not connect to your wireless router, journal newspaper from any computer that can connect to the router wirelessly with a wire, disable wireless security, make sure that the wireless SSID broadcast is enabled and try to connect with no. wireless security.

    Enable security wireless after you eat to make a functional connection.

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

    The wireless card drivers much also install utility wireless of the seller.

    To ensure that if there are utility wireless isn't running with the native Windows wireless utility provider (Service WLAN).

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

    Firewall software can block traffic Local to the network that you are trying to use because it is not set to the network Zone Trust.

    Make sure you firewall No. preventing / blocks wireless components to join the network.

    Some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible set up the firewall correctly, otherwise totally uninstall and get rid of its remaining processes that permit the own local network traffic flow.

    If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

    party like Hello and NetMagic 3rd network managers can block local traffic too.

    Stack TCP/IP (network IP number) of work should look like.

    Right-click on the wireless network connection card, select status, details and see if she got an IP address and the rest of the settings.

    Description is the data of the card making.

    The physical address is MAC of the card number.

    The xx must be a number between 0 and 255 (all xx even number).

    YY should be between 0 and 255

    ZZ should be between 0 and 255 (zz all the same number.)

  • Internet connection sharing: "Bluetooth network connection" does not appear in the list "Home Networking connection."

    Hello.

    With Windows 7, I want to share the network connection Wi - Fi with Bluetooth through PAN (Personal Area Network).

    When there are several connections in addition to Bluetooth after opening "Share" tab, I see these connections in the "Home Networking connection" list, but there is no Bluetooth. Then, when there is no connection in addition to Bluetooth which I can share with, there is no tab "share."

    Equipment: laptop Samsung NB30:

    • Broadcom BCM2070 Bluetooth 3.0 + HS USB Device with the driver PAN ('Bluetooth device (Personal Area Network)") provided by Samsung: Microsoft, version 6.1.7600.16385, 21.06.2006

    As I assume there should be means to somehow add "Bluetooth Network Connection" to a list of connections that can be internet shared with.

    Also, when I tried to fix this problem manually, other questions are raised:

    • There is really no Thoubleshooting guide for Internet connection sharing in Windows 7? I see this document on the site "Microsoft Support" for Windows 98SE, Windows XP - but not Vista and 7.
    • When I'm stuck to the administration of the system to the GUI, there is good decision to guarantee a target with the CLI. After searching a command line installation Internet connection sharing, I see no guides for this - only something likehttp://forums.devshed.com/windows-help-34/enabling-ics-under-command-line-89499.html . Is there really no way to set up ICS by command line and I'm forced to use complex GUIs?

    So, please help me solve problem BT PAN ICS. But if you reply to other questions, it will also be interesting to read.

  • Can play.wma files fully but only seconds of .mp3 files on a home network with Windows 7 and WMP 12.0.7601 wireless

    Hello community,

    I have a problem with Windows Media Player 12.0.7061 when I try to listen to music through my home network Windows 7.  Windows Media Player has no problem playing the media all types of files locally on the Windows 7 system.  On my home network, .wma files play well through the (Pioneer) wireless speaker, but .mp3 and .mp4 files only play for the first ~ 5 seconds and then the audio stops.  If I wait long enough, Windows Media Player will skip to the next song and continue to play the .wma file.

    Is this a problem of DRM?  My home wireless network is too slow to allow .mp3 or .mp4 fully transmit the wireless speaker?

    Thank you!

    Problem dealt with.  It's a problem of bandwidth of wireless network.

  • Can't view the YouTube video because there is an active filter. It happens on the job and home networks and only on Firefox (15.0.1).

    After update 15.0.1 Firefox and Adobe Flash Player to 11.4, I was unable to view the media from YouTube. I was given a message: "this video is not available with the filter of education allowed.» To view this video, site network administrator will have to add to a playlist. I work for a school district and use my laptop at work so I thought that I got this message because YouTube is blocked on this network. But when I got home, I got the same message on my home network with YouTube videos. I have reset Firefox and he took care of the issue until I'm at work, and the problem happened again with the same message everywhere... I tried to post the same videos on another browser (Safari) and it works beautifully. I'm afraid that if I reset Firefox even once, I'm having the same problem.

    It is possible that YouTube set a cookie to filter which can still be seen when you connect at home. To clear cookies for youtube.com, you can use one of these:

    (1) 'dialog show Cookies' tab in Preferences/Privacy:

    Firefox > Preferences > privacy > 'view the Cookies '.

    Type yout in the search box at the top to filter the list and remove each cookie individually.

    (2) "view Cookies dialog box" in the Page Info/Security tab:

    While displaying a page on the site-

    Tools > Page Info > Security > 'view the Cookies '.

    -remove each cookie individually.

    Then, try to reload the page and see if Youtube behaves differently.

  • Why Firefox Sync does not work on my home network, but at work?

    Firefox Sync on my laptop does not work when my laptop is connected to my home network, but for example if I'm at my desk.

    The internet connection in my house is fine, I can surf the web with this same Firefox on IPv4 and IPv6, DNS etc. also works. Connection to accounts.firefox.com works also, as Firefox for the sync account. Only the synchronization process runs aground. On my desktop at home, I have exactly the same problems. When I open https://sync-209-us-west-2.sync.services.mozilla.com/ in a browser tab, I see a confirmation message that synchronization runs on this server, so apparently the network path between my computer and this server is free.

    After investigation with Wireshark, I see the TLS negotiation successfully, then packages the client was able to respond and after some time, the server closes the connection (encrypted alert). Apparently, no content is transferred between the client and the server. I have attached a screenshot of how Wireshark sees the conversation between the server and the client (sending pictures here did not work so I put on the web: http://ibin.co/1zXABHKdj5mA).

    To exclude a possible configuration problem or bad module, I created a clean Firefox profile and logged into my account in Firefox, but this shows exactly the same problems.

    Fun fact: Firefox on my Android phone will sync on my home network.

    Below, I will link two logs, a successful synchronization (corporate network) and a synchronization failed (home network):
    Sync @ Office: http://pastebin.com/rZmfrbdL
    Sync @ home: http://pastebin.com/a3KUCevJ

    The problem seems to be with your ISP - you can refer to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1118958 and they may be able to find a workaround by changing your diet or to help you configure a different MTU for the network.
