Is the warranty of my internet connection Windows 7 undermined by having my local network Windows XP connected with off ICS?
My Windows 7 connects to internet via my Android phone - sometimes using WiFi Hotspot of the phone and sometimes by direct USB connection between them.
My Windows XP is often connected to my Windows 7 in a LAN network two computers [no router involved] or the Ad Hoc WiFi connection. Internet connection sharing is off in Windows 7 so that Windows XP can not connect via the internet.
Currently, I disconnect the two computers when the Windows 7 to go on internet. Am I being too conservative? Could I just leave the two computers when Windows 7 is on the internet, given that ICS is off?

Keep the changes and open the wireless. For example, to disable security in the router (turn on when to managed to connect).
You can also try the wireless in a friends house, or an Internet café to get a frame of reference for this behavior elsewhere.

Wi - Fi in general.
These steps and tell us where is the breaking point.
Check the Device Manager for the wireless card valid entry.
http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_dm.jpg
If there is no valid entry, remove any entry from fake and re - install the drivers for the wireless card.
Check network connections to make sure that you have a network icon/entry wireless connection, and that the properties of the icon (right-click on the icon) are correctly configured with the TCP/IPv4 protocol in the properties of network connections.

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

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 .

The date of the lease must be valid at the present time.

* Note 2. There could be an IPv6 entries too. However, they are not functional for Internet or LAN traffic. They are necessary for Win 7 homegroup special configuration.
---------------------------------------------------
A message in the small window that says connected wireless doesn't means that you are really a valid functional connection.
Above everything is OK, you must be able to connect to the router.
Connection to the router means that you can enter the IP of the router base in an address bar in one go, being able to connect and configure the router menus see.
If it doesn't connect to the 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.

context: a previous thread with an identical title never responded, the problem just disappeared. Well its been two weeks since then and the problem came back.
somethings which may or may not apply: internet TV seems to work better in media center. All updates have been applied to H.P. of Vista SP2. Netflix works fine in ie8 (such as the internet, of course). Tried to delete all the Internet Options, delete browsing history section of Internet Explorer. I get the same error message with my windows 7 professional media center, but netflix seems to play anyway (no game with vista). I recently installed quicktime alternative 2.72 to see what it was and how it worked, then removed and put back in quicktime.
Tried / symptoms:
-Remove all the browsing history (econcepts)
-Same message on Win7pro but works even when (econcepts)
-Works on Win7 no problem (omegafiler)
-Works in ie 8 (econcepts)
-Works in crome (Martin TX)
-Consensus is that it started around December 30, 2009 (GeoffG1, johnetX, me)
-Remove and reinstall silverlight (omegafiler)
-Remove and replace netflix plugin (omegafiler)<- how="" did="" you="" do="" that="">->
-Netflix says: microsoft problem (Nitestalker)
-Microsoft is silent (this thread - on vacation?)
-Same problem on 32-bit and 64-bit VMC (JRSMiamiFL)
-No applied update (johnetx)<- perhaps="" date="" related="" or="" drm="" date="">->
-Disconnect from netflix, you reconnect again - ultimately the same error (chicagokiwi)
-Tried to reduce the number of items in the queues to well below the limit of 200 (econcepts)
-Tried the register / unregister the third wire procedure, no joy (does not break anything else however)
-Disabled the firewall, no change (econcepts)related topics:

It started yesterday (30/12/2009) for me. I looked fine the day before without problem. The message I get says "there was a problem of data recovery. Check the works of your internet connection and try again. Ok. I make it work with both my VMC - one with the service pack and the other without. My OS updates have been loaded in early December, so I don't see how this could it be. I searched and found this problem has come up before, but I have not found a solution. I made NO changes to my HTPC.

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE *.
2009-01-05 has attempted to start Netflix this morning and you know, it works on both my VMCs. That's the good news. So now the real questions are:
Only 20 people reported it as a problem and only 6 on the green button. I believe that it affected all the world with Media Center. So why not discussed much?
It already happened, causes a stir and silently slips without known cause or cure. How can we find out what caused this and how to prevent it from happening again in the future?

Wireless router / Internet problems
I am running Windows Vista Home Edition with Security Essentials. I can connect to my wireless router, but cannot get internet connectivity via Wireless. If I connect the cable to the port on the router, I get internet connectivity. Is there a firewall setting that could cause this problem?Hello
Your router could be suspicious here, you have successfully updated its firmware as a possible solution? And I would like to
Update your WiFi drivers on computers. How you are positioned in the router? Are there
obstacles in the path?Actually try updating your driver and disabling the network logon.
Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write
version - click the driver update (cannot do something that MS is far behind the pilots of certification). Then
Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

Internet connection with Windows 8 computer issues.
Dear Microsoft,
My internet is perfect. Other computers are perfect, but there is now a computer. An Acer Iconia Tab the W500 to be more precise. This computer had Windows 7 top and was very slow, and the internet cut into once in a while. When I went to help out, the 'detected problem' was 'a cable is not correctly plugged' and 'problem with the access point', but that is not true. The internet has worked with other devices in my house. Another reason, I know that it is not this, because he says the same thing in any other place, and then he refuses all connections in the region, to me saying 'No available networks', while everything else works!
This computer, got only Windows 8 is installed. Windows 8 is very nice, and I want to congratulate the team and very soft works. The computer has not stuck or run slowly, for now. But guess what. The internet does not work. He tells me the same thing. My uncle suggested that there was a problem with the hardware, because the computer was all erased and has a new operating system, Windows 8, but what it could be? Where would it be? This is the question I ask. Maybe I could get it fixed elsewhere? What are the causes of the internet by computer recognition which is material? Kindly, let me know. This problem as been there for years and I would be grateful, not buy a new device.
It's not that old, I got it in 2010 or 2011.
I understand it can not be a problem for Microsoft, but the contact Acer service is complicated and limit to a valid warranty. But hey, someone here can have the answer.
Also the touch screen does not work.
Thank you.
