• When I try to connect to the wireless router, it asks you the password I put it and he then asked again and will not accept the password. all other computers (without windows 7) connect correctly.

  My new computer has windows 7 when I try to connect it to my router it ask the password, then he asks the network password I put in the same password and it does not accept it. I spent ove an hour on the phone with a very helpful and confused expert to the Virgin. He tells me that the password only I need to communicate with the router is the main. We tried a lot of things all very technical and finally he gave up. Other computers with vista on connect very well with no problems at all.

  The network is fine and all the settings are fine. Occasionally, it connects via a home network but then it stops. When I try to communicate with the printer wireless signal stops and starts.

  I don't hold much hope of a response that experts were left very confused by this first abandoned after 45 minutes and the second lastered over an hour are totally flumaxed and blame windows 7

  But everyone told me that windows 7 was supposed to be the best

• Windows 7 backup function does not recognize the external drive connected to the wireless router

  I installed a Belkin router for my laptop and pc, it came with a usb port so that I can connect my external hard drive directly and share it as a backup drive.  But when I tried to set up in Windows 7, the backup options list.  The network recognizes it, but Windows will not let me select it as backup destination.  A buddy of mine said that the backup of Windows 7 does not work with network drives, but no matter who else thought of it?  Thnx.

  It depends on the flavor of Windows 7. The Home Premium version will not network disks, backup but the Ultimate version. You can connect your drive as a USB drive when you make your backup.

• dv6t-6100 laptop loses the connection to the wireless network

  I n HP 6100 dv6t Select Edition Entertainment Notebook PC running Windows 7 (64 bit) with a card Intel WiFi Link 1000 BGN. After starting the laptop and looking e HP Connection Manager to display the message connected WiFi only immediately disconnected.  This just continues as long as the computer is on.  All work well for at least a year before it started, and to my knowledge has not changed have been made.  I have internet Comcast with TM602G ARRIS cable modem and a Netgear WNR1000 router.  I tried to uninstall and reinstall the network adapter, unpluging power and reset the cable modem and the router and start up the laptop in safe mode with network without success.  Connection to the laptop computer directly to the router works fine.  I also have a second laptop running windows 7 with two IPads some smartphones and my printer HP connected wireless without any problem.  I also tried turning off other devices with no luck.

  Thanks again, already tried to reset the modem, the router and the PC as you suggested and that did not work but I tried closing all other devices connected to the wireless router and the laptop connected properly.  Guess I will just have to turn on devices one at a time to see if one of them is to interfere or just for many connected devices.  It's again the aid.

• Unable to connect to the wireless network WPA2 in Windows 7 with Dell E6400

  Hello

  I've spent almost a week to find the following problem with one of my laptops:
  Laptop Dell Latitude E6400
  CPU Intel Core 2 Duo T9400 2.53 GHz
  Memory 4 GB
  OS Windows 7 SP1 32 bit Home Premium
  Card WiFi Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN Mini Card
  Intel 82567LM Gigabit Network Connection Ethernet card

  With the wireless configuration (Ethernet is unplugged), my E6400 sees the Motorola SBG 6580 wifi router using WPA2, but when I try to connect to this router (with WPA2 password) I got the error message:
  Windows could not connect to myrouter.

  I've updated all the drivers with the latest version and I still have the same error message.

  I have another laptop Dell E4300 under Windows 7 SP1 32 bit Home Premium and I can connect to the Motorola router without problems.

  Do you have ideas of how to solve this problem?

  Thank you

  I had this problem with my new Dell 1545 & wireless 1397 card, but it was some time ago. The utility Dell WiFi was, it turned out, interfere with the management of the windows of the WiFi card. There was also a problem of compatibility with versions of driver and I had to keep the driver to the version Windows offered two years ago. You can read about it at low signal wireless Dell Inspiron 1564 laptop 1397 WLAN Mini card , but do not forget that it was some time ago, it's with another model of Dell & that no router was involved.

  You can also try asking Dell support, but I never had any help from them at all, despite the request.

  Hello

  Maybe this can help.

  Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

  Homegroup = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

  Network of home or work = fundamentally similar (and better) to the previous Working Group sharing methods which allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.
  
  Public share = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

  To get best results connect to each computer system screen and set all the computers to be on a bearing the same name of Working Group , while each computer has its own unique name.

  Make sure that the software firewall, AV, or other security components allow free local traffic on all network computers. If you use the 3rd group of security, firewall native Vista/XP must be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

  General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq.html#trusted
  Please Note that some 3rd party software firewall/AV/security costumes continue to block aspects of the Local traffic even it they are off (off). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic.

  If you end up with the 3rd party software uninstalled or disabled, make sure that Windows native firewall is active .

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

  Network Win 7 with another version of Windows as a work network (works very well if all computers are Win 7 also).

  In the center of the network, by clicking on the type of network opens the window to the right.

  Choose your network type. Note the check box at the bottom and check/uncheck depending on your needs.

• Computer Vista laptop cannot connect to new wireless router

  I had the laptop for about a year and a half, and he has a history of being pretty skittish about the wireless connection.  Often he simply refuses to do so.  During vacation last year, for example, the other three laptops connected family easily to wi - fi hotel, but mine has refused to.  There are a lot of other moments when the laptop could not connect, but I was able to connect to two most important places - home and work - without much trouble, and so I haven't looked too hard to solve the problems of connection up to now.

  This week, I replaced the router in my original configuration.  The old Netgear router kept giving up the connection between her and my ISP.  The new Linksys router looks rock solid in this regard.  I have a desktop running XP computer that is wired to the new router Linksys, and he sees the internet very well.  My laptop Vista unable to connect (wireless), however.  He sees the network with a lot of intensity of the signal, and it tries to connect.  I get a message saying that the connection takes longer than usual, and then another message saying 'connected.'  However, I do not have internet access, and I see other devices (just the XP desktop, really) on the network.  The Network and Sharing Center shows my laptop connected to the 'unidentified network', and then there is a red X between this network and the Internet (represented by a grey globe).  Laptop computer signals its 'access' as "local only".

  From the desktop, I can access the internet, so the router is connected to the points upstream.  From the desktop, I can also access the router configuration pages, and I see that it does not list the laptop as a dhcp client, even if the laptop thinks that it is connected.

  ipconfig on laptop computer displays a wacky IPv4 address: 169.254.2.91 and I guess that the laptop does not get an address passed to the router.  I think that there should be a 192.168. *. * address if it worked properly.

  Now, I was pretty sure my laptop's wireless adapter to work properly.  It always connects to the old router and it always connects to the work.  But to be sure and really test the new router, I went out and bought another USB adapter wireless.  When I plug it into the computer to Office XP, the Office connects to the router and can see the internet (even with the connection cable is disconnected).  So the new router and the new wireless USB adapater properly.  When I plug the USB wireless adapter into the laptop, the laptop still can't connect and still not get a good ip address assigned by the router.

  I've been at this for a few days now, and I could really use some help.  I read a few items in the Microsoft forums that was supposed to fix the problem.  One of them told me to try to start a program called DHCP in the Administrative Tools folder.  I do not have this program on my computer.  Another told me manually change my registry (ouch!) and add a new DWORD value, and set its value to 1.  I did, but it did not fix the problem.

  I would be very grateful for any help.

  Alright.  I am home to work and back again.  I have read several posts with people reporting problems similar to mine, so I guess I'm not alone in this.  In a thread, the experts proposed to start in Mode safe mode with networking.  So I gave that a shot.  I still couldn't really connect - just this 'local only' without an assigned IP address.

  One thing I did notice, is that my laptop brand and its wireless adapter seem to get a special mention in most positions.  I have a HP Compaq Presario CQ50 Notebook PC running Vista Home Premium SP2, 32-bit version (even if the processor is 64-bit).  The wireless adapter is an Atheros AR5007.  Several other people with this card have reported problems.  Maybe it's the cause?

  I look into updating the driver for the card, even if yesterday's test with the separate USB wireless adapter showed that the problem could not just be limited to the Atheros card.  To search for a driver update, I connect my laptop to the router with an ethernet cable.  It's nice to see the web on your laptop.  No update driver does.

  For fun, I try to establish a wireless connection with the router, while the wired connection is still in place.  Looks like maybe it worked?  I say a little prayer and unplug the ethernet cable...

  It's a miracle!  I have a wireless connection to the router and beyond, to the internet.  Huzzah!

  The network has a real name, too, instead of just 'unidentified network '.  I want to change the network type from the public to the private, which I was unable to do while he was still 'unidentified '.

  Can I terminate the connection so that I can see what happens when I try to reconnect.

  Another miracle!  It connects to and still see the internet.  Callooh!  Colay!

  Next test: see what happens after a reboot... (please, please, please)...

  Ch-ching!  It works again!

  Final (?) test: reinstall the McAffee internet security suite and restart.

  And it still works.

  Here's a recap of what I found:
  1. laptop could not connect wireless router again, despite dozens of attempts in which I get every available straw
  2. laptop computer could see the internet when connected to the router
  3. laptop could connect wirelessly to the router while the wired connection is in place
  4. Once this first wireless, laptop computer was able to connect to the router even when the wired connection has been removed and the computer restarts

  I would describe my discovery above as a work-around rather than as a solution, however.  It does not always help me stay connected the next time I'm on vacation, for example.  But perhaps the information I provided can help experts to diagnose the real problem a little.

  I look forward to hear something back.

  Jim
