Issue with Vista wireless

Computing:   I have a Dell XPS 420 Desktop Computer with wireless capability with a Broadcom 802.11 network adapter g. operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit with Service Pack 1

History: I had my computer since December 2007 and used to access wireless internet with Bellsouth DSL and a Linksys router, and then for the past year, I got paired with a Linksys WRT150N router comcast. I have had no problems to connect to the internet until Verizon Fios has been installed on the Sunday, August 30, 2009.
That said, I tried with a Dell laptop in windows XP and it is connected. I also tried with a mini computer dell laptop running XP and it is also connected. Yet once again, I say that all three of these computers connected to the internet using Linksys and two different ISPS, it was with the switch to verizon that it has lost its ability to connect.

Verizon has installed a router wireless Actiontec MI424WR Rev E.
Firmware version: 20.9.0 (this is the most to date version)

I can't connect my Dell XPS 420 desktop using a wired LAN connection to the router and establish an internet connection. I'm not able to establish a wireless internet connection. When I try to go wireless, it is said:
Public Network - unidentified network - Local access only.
IPv4 connectivity: Local
IPv6 connectivity: Local
Media state: enabled
SSID: FWLK5
Speed: 54 Mbps
Number of employees: (all 5 bars)
Bytes received is always 0

On the connection tab:
Name and SSID: FWLK5
Network type: Access Point
Network availability: all users
The checkmarks are: connect automatically in case of beach, connect to a more preferred network if available.

On the Security tab:
Security type: no authentication (Open)
Encryption type: WEP
Password: (wrong password is in the box)
Key index: 1

The properties of the wireless connection:
Networking
Connect with: map of network Broadcom 802.11 g
This connection uses the following items:
Client for Microsoft networks
QoS Packet Scheduler
File and sharing printers for microsoft networks
IP version 6
Internet version 4 Protocol
Link layer topology discovery map i/o driver
Link Layer topology discovery responder

Sharing:
The two boxes are checked:
Allow other users to connect through this computer network
Allow the other network users to control or disable the shared connection

What I've tried so far based on reading previous forums discussing this issue.

1. completely uninstalled Norton 360, including using the Norton removal tool and by calling the customer service of Norton who has accessed the computer and verified the complete removal.

2 turned off the windows firewall.

3 make sure the Broadcom network adapter driver has been the most up to date.

4. people with disabilities and reinstalled the card network Broadcom.

5 update Windows Vista Service Pack 1 and all other updates installed today.

6 call Verizon Online support - they reset the modem and tried several things like change the "channel". Nothing has worked. They said to contact the computer manufacturer. They have pointed the finger to be a problem with Vista from the computers Windows XP work.

7. called Dell: they tried several things with access to remote and says that it is the problem of the router/ISP.

8. unplug the router several times, waited 5 minutes and plugged in. Has made several rounds of power on the computer as well.

9. changing a registry key according to Microsoft technical support to disable the DHCP Broadcast flag in windows vista (I'm not entirely sure I did correct it because I didn't know what was the GUID) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928233

10 disabling IPv6 (by unchecking it)

11 disabling IPv4 (by unchecking it)

12 Ran IPConfig to confirm I have a valid IP address (starts with 192 and is valid I don't know if I should post the full address)

13 fact MSCONFIG with reset winsock

14 changed the settings TCP/IP by netsh int ip reset at the command prompt, and out, and then uupon done restart ncpa.cpl in the start menu and unchecked the tcp/ip v6 Protocol restarted the computer.

15. don't attempt to ping a website - no Exchange packets, error message cannot find the Web site. I tried www.google.com and www.verizon.com

I am at a loss of what I can do to get my computer back operational wireless. Due to the entire office to the top of our House, I would really like this computer on another level and the only way to accomplish that without drilling the holes through the walls that it it works wireless.

Any other advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

UPDATE:   I rented the "Geek Squad" to come look at my system. The poor guy spent 3 hours going through all stages. Finally a last ditch effort he has installed a new NIC card. Bingo that fixed for some reason any. Apparently, the old NIC card was bad, even if the system was saying that it was good. The old NIC card was allowing him to connect to the router but no internet. He said it was weird, but the problem is SOLVED!

  • problems with Vista wireless

    I'm losing my wireless connection, but it shows that I am connected to the internet. I disconnect and reconnect and even though it shows I'm connected it does not connect to the web browser. Has anyone tried with a map of wiresless instead of the computer?
    Most of the ppl I talk seem to have the same problem. I'm sitting with my internet provider two nights in a row going on in connections. It works for a while and then it acks just straight up. Seems worse during the day for some reason any. I have a new wireless DSL and sometimes the only way I can get is to hook the Ethernet cable to the computer and DSL. If putting a wireless card in the computer would cure the problem I would be but what hard ware and soft ware problem?

    Hello

    1. have you done any change in software on the computer lately?

    I suspect that there is a third-party application which is in conflict with the wireless connection. Configure the computer to clean boot and check if it works very well. If it works fine, we can use a 50-50 approach to find the conflicting application. See the article below for more information on the clean boot.

  • Performance issues with Vista on Satellite L40 - 14N

    I just signed up to your forum, it's really nice, how it works.
    I bought 3 months ago, a satellite L40-14N, with Vista Home Premium pre-installed, but I'm starting to get tired of the delays.
    I also have a problem, always Walker I want to open some windows, such as control panel or my computer and all my icons on the desktop disappear after some time will be displayed again, but not the application open before (Panel configuration or my computer).

    I wanted to ask all of you, what may be the problem, in fact I think to get rid of Vista and install XP, do you think it would be a good idea?
    If so, what kind of xp (sp2, sp3, etc.)? And, what I would have in return when I install xp, as what drivers need me for my laptop works properly again?

    Thank you very much... good day

    Hello

    He knows that the Vista operating system is in need of more resources as a Microsoft OS at the beginning of s.
    I have a Vista on the L30 and I get a really slow performance.
    In addition many services and processes running in the background of the operating system. It also decreases performance.
    But all background processes are needed if you want to use all the features of notebooks such as the FN keys or buttons to Toshiba for example.

    However, I've installed XP on the L30 without any additional driver for the FN keys, control buttons etc and it was amazing to see how fast the laptop can be.

    So generally it s not a bad idea to install XP on the L40.
    But note; If you want to install XP on the L40 you must install the Intel Matrix Storage Manager first. Without this driver SATA XP does not recognize the HARD drive.

  • m11x r2 issues with car wireless in windows 8

    I upgraded my laptop Windows 8, but I'm having some problems with the wireless card. After a few minutes of use, it will randomly fall the network connection. I have to disable and re-enable the network card to get connected again. Is there an updated driver for the wireless card? I think it's an Intel card, but maybe it's the Dell Wireless card.

    Hi, that give a try.

    Make a left click in the lower right corner and open Device Manager.

    Click network adapters and find your wireless card.

    Right-click on it and open properties.

    Click power management and uncheck the BOX "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".

    Click OK, and then close all windows.

    You use the native drivers of windows 8 to run your wifi? If so and the solution above doesn't work try to download the correct drivers from the Microsoft or website killer, according to what brand wifi card you have.

    When it is complete Notepad starts and there is a message saying that Windows (Vista SP1) has recovered from a serious problem.

    AFAIK SP1 could create serious problems because of the problems of compatibility between some drivers and tools.

    Have you noticed the same issue without SP1 installed?

  • Track issues with the Wireless Mouse 5000 bought with Wireless Comfort Desktop 5000...

    Just bought a Microsoft Keyboard and Mouse (Wireless Comfort Desktop 5000). For some reason any mouse is pointing upwards and is not followed correctly. What seems to be the case after a few minutes of use tracking becomes unstable and it feels like the mouse pointer is delayed and begins to jump around the screen. It is even more evident when I start trying to drag windows around the office and if I drag too fast it starts to "hiccup" (best I can describe it) and it seems to miss a few frames per second that I am dragging to the desktop. I noticed in games, especially the FPS, quick turns because of the mouse to lose track, and a second, I'm facing forward and the other second I'm back, with no apparent transition between the two. I tried to disable the accuracy monitoring, but to no avail... For any help or suggestion would be appreciated...

    I use Windows 7 Professional and have no such problems with 8 year old Logitech wireless mouse, this keyboard is replacement.

    I know this is an old thread, but I can see nowear where the problem has been resolved.  I have a Logitech wireless mouse on my laptop and a thread on my desk, both had the same problem. The problem has been solved for me using just a mouse pad, no problem since! This answer may be there somewhere but I didn't fall on it even from Microsoft (surprise). Incidentally, my mousepad is often a sheet of A4 paper on a clip board. If someone actually reads this please let me know if it was any help.

  • Vista wireless loses Internet access after the mode "Eve".

    Environment:
    HP Pavilion dv2610ca notebook PC, broadcom 802. 11 b / g adapter, Vista Home Premium 32 bit SP2, Siemens Gigaset SE567 router/modem.

    Problem:
    I can usually connect wirelessly to my home network and to the Internet whenever I start my computer. However, I have close the lid and leave it in standby mode, I can't access Internet after I opened the lid and the system wakes up. The system connects to my home network but cannot access the Internet. It shows a Local access only.

    Diagnosis and repair fails generally, telling me that I have a problem with my router. Disconnect, then reconnect usually works. My router power market also works.

    I saw lots and lots of issues with Vista wireless networks and I followed several of the recommended actions:
    -updated the driver broadcom
    -reset the IP stack by using the tool "Fixit" of Microsoft
    -disabled the use of IPv6 in two by disabling the check marks in the related devices and changing the registry TCPIP6 parameters
    -modified the registry to activate/disable the DHCP broadcast flag in the TCPIP Interfaces
    -J' tell the system not to disable the card Broadcom, but the "Power management" tab mentioned in some articles does not appear in its properties. The only reference to power is "Minimum energy" under the "Advanced" tab, then I disabled who.

    Nothing has solved the problem.

    Has anyone else had this problem and fixed it?

    I'm not a technical Wizard, so please provide instructions for any action that you suggest.

    Thank you.

    I replaced the Siemens router/modem provided by my ISP (Telus) with an old D-Link router and separate modem 3Comm I had been using a couple of years and the problem seems to have disappeared.

    I'll close this thread on the assumption that the problem will not rear its ugly head again.

    Hello pookieboy140,

    I suggest that you start with the management of Network Diagnostics on the computer that will help you in error, like why you are not able to connect to the Internet.

    You can refer the link that will give you information about this below:

  • Intel 4965agn wireless wrong with vista Home premium sp2

    recently I had to reinstall vista (clean install of 2007 system disk) due to an unknown problem that caused the ms does not recognize my installation as "authentic." The system is updated after a week of daily updates. before this problem my wireless connection worked continuously for years without problems. I remember having some problem with it before sp1, but certainly no problems since sp2. Since the reinstallation, I was not able to get the wireless to work. Device Manager indicates Intel wireless wifi link 4965agn works fine, but the diagnostics windows network says "intel...» 4965AGN"knows driver or hardware related issues. I tried updating to the latest driver for vista (32 bit) intel (13.2.1.5) and the issue has not changed. I have a gateway with processor nx860xl intel core2 t7200 cpu and 2 GB ram.

    Does anyone know a solution to this problem? How do I can diagnose to refine the cause to the driver or hardware or system settings or registry errors, etc.? Is there another driver who would be better suited or I'd better go back to XP or forward for win7? I have never had to reinstall older XP on my laptop. It was the 3rd or 4th reinstallation of Vista (although the last one was a good two years ago). I just want to get the wireless working again, so I must not be attached to my router for internet, etc.. Thanks for any help or suggestion.

    Hello

    Connect you to the support page of Intel card download the latest Intel drivers and update any drivers you have now.

    After installation, make sure that the Intel Wireless utility is not running in the background. Turn it off and get out of the startup folder.

    In general

    There is an inherent Catch22 to attempt to repair a computer wireless through wireless. Given that the without wire is not connected to the source, there is no interaction between the wireless source and the Wireless Client and no frame of reference to find what works and what does not.

    As a first step, I will temporarily move the computer to a place close to the wireless router and plug with a wire.

    When he works with a wire, switch Off the Wireless Security in the router, disconnect the wire and try to make wireless work. This must be done when the computer is always close to the wireless router to compensate for the weak, and or blocked the signal that could be part of the problem in the new suite spot work.

    In the computer itself.

    Most laptops have a physical switch for the wireless card. Read the manual of the computer and make sure that the wireless adapter is on.

    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.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_connection_tcp.jpg

    Make sure that if there is Wireless Utility a utility vendor is not running with the native Windows wireless utility.

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

    Above everything is OK and it connects to the wireless router. Log in from any computer which is, or can be connected to the router with a wire wireless, disable wireless security, make sure that the wireless streaming is enabled and try to connect with no. wireless security.

    When the work turns on the Wireless security.

    Note * people sometimes make mistakes in writing and retype the password for security.

    Another way is to copy in the menu of the router and then paste it when asked of the wireless card.

  • Major issues with Satellite S70 - t wireless has

    Hello

    I received a Satellite - S70t 31/10 and then had some problems wireless. From the start up my computer and began its activities on the internet, I suddenly noticed the sudden slow but also many problems such as the loss of packets and ping (which I had never experienced before) high.

    After some tests, I came to the conclusion that it is either something wrong with the wireless adapter, or on the other hand is not compatible with my router. I had questions everytime I open the laptop and connect to the internet, where my reasoning.

    I've updated the drivers for the wireless adapter, but it did not help.
    I am running a router Netcomm NB9wmaxxn.

    I hope that it will be able to be resolved quickly.
    Thank you.

    In my opinion you issue needs further investigation.
    It isn't quite clear, if the Wlan problem is related to the network card wireless Wlan driver, Wlan router or maybe the combination of the Wlan router and module Wlan.

    In my opinion, you should check if the same thing happens to connect the phone to another access point.
    You should check the laptop with or without the power adapter connected.
    Energy savings can affect the performance of Wlan.

    You should check if the problem could be related to the intensity of the signal.
    You should test the connection network wifi secure Wla also open Wifi (unsecured).

    Check also different standards of WLan 802.11 A B G N
    Of course, this test depends on the Wlan module. In the case of the wifi card does not support the 802. 11A, you will not be able to verify this.

Maybe you are looking for
