Local and unidentified network access

I have recently updated my router to an Apple time machine... my iMac, PS3, portable 2 work running XP and another book of Vista works well, BUT my girls one has problems with wireless, it works very well if connected to the router.

The laptop connects to the router showing a good signal, but the network is showing as not identified and access is only local.

There seems to be a lot of similar problems on the forum with perhaps too collaborative... so far, I have upgrade to Service pack 2 and downloaded some difficulty is .no change

Anyone have any idea? Looks like I'm here for days!

The connection to the router should be local, and unless you have assigned a name to your router, it will say not identified.  The machine has internet access despite what network shows?  Is there an internet icon in the available networks?  If Yes, I suppose that I don't worry what it says - the conection works as it should (although the Internet should appear in connections made when it is turned on).  If not, go to start / Network / Network and Sharing Center / configure a new connection / configuration of an internet connection and follow the prompts to create a new internet connection on your system (you may need to reference the settings on another computer running Vista to the right).  Then try using this new connection to connect to the internet and see if it works.  If so, remove the old connection is not working and you're good to go.

I hope this helps.  If not, post back with what happens when you try to connect by using the new connection that you created.

Good luck!

  • Vista "Local access only" and "Unidentified network" problem

    Hi recently my Windows Vista Home Premium - 32-bit has had problems with the internet.

    It was only said 'Local' next to the 'access' and said "Unidentified network" and used to connect me on the internet.

    This problem occurs when you try to connect through an Ethernet cable to the Modem and the router and also while wireless.

    I know that this is not the fault of my Modem/Router, because my laptop says this when I try to connect about internet anybodies.

    Ive spent a good 3 days on this problem, looking for every website I could find searching for answers. NONE of them have worked :(

    Ive done everything except Microsoft and their paying a call answer...

    So if someone can help me, please and id love for it :)

    Also I know people will ask ipconfig/all, but I'll wait for a response and download what the person asking. Thank you.

    I will not need now, I used a program called "Connectify" on my windows 7 laptop. (connectify is a program that acts as a hotspot access point)

    Somehow I was able to connect my Windows Vista computer to the internet via Connectify and I ran all the updates on my laptop with Windows Update, now I am able to connect to my router and modem without any problem.

    Hope that if anyone else has this problem, they can also use Connectify to Windows 7 computers and difficulty there problems internet as I :)

  • Unidentified network access

    I use Windows 7 Ultimate. Whenever I start my system by selecting Normal mode or in advanced mode, I am not able to connect to the Internet, and it has a network that is not identified in the network and sharing Center. But when I start my system by selecting "Safe Mode with network" the Internet connection works fine, but in this mode, I'm not able to use my other apps.

    How can I solve this problem in advanced mode? Help, please.

    Hi Moiz,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand that the computer does not connect to the Internet in normal mode and I'll be happy to answer your query. However, let me ask you;

    1. Remember to no particular change in the computer before the show?
    2. What type of connection (wired or wireless) Internet do you use?
    3. What is the brand and model of the computer?

    Given that the computer connects to the Internet using safe mode with networking and not in normal mode, there could be a possibility of any conflict of third party software. I would be recommended to perform the clean boot and check the status.

    Method 1: Perform the clean boot in order to avoid any conflict of third party software

    Put your system to the clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. You must follow the steps in the article mentioned below to perform a clean boot.

    How to perform a clean boot in Windows

    Note: see 'How do I reset the computer to start normally after a boot minimum troubleshooting' to reset the computer starts normally after troubleshooting.

    Method 2: Visit the computer manufacturer's support Web site and install the latest network card for Windows 7 and check the status.

    In addition, refer to the article below.

    Wireless and wired network problems

    Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

  • unidentified network and local access only

    We have a wireless connection and our router is realtek. However, our network is unidentifyable! He said that it is a public network and gives local access only. When an ethernet cable is plugged into our computer to the router connect to the local network overrides this and we have local and internet connection.

    What is the problem that causes our network to not be recognized? I tried to diagnose and repair and renew the IP address, and none of these work.

    Its very frustrating...

    Hello

    I have an Acer Aspire M1610 running Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2 and 2 days ago when I turned it on the internet was not working and it says unidentified network Local access only. I use a wired Ethernet connection. I don't know how it happened as before I had used the computer as usual and the Internet worked very well. I did a lot of research and read a few forum posts about this problem and tried a few solutions but non of them worked. I tried the following:
    (1) disable my firewall and anti-virus who didn't work, I turned their back on immediately.

    2) press Ctrl-Shift-Enter keyboard shortcut to run a command as administrator prompt.  Allow the elevation.

    Type route delete 0.0.0.0 press ENTER.

    (3) the internet protocol version 6 clear, disable and enable the thing

    (4) if same Norton software removal tool I had uninstalled the when I got the computer I read that uninstall it by using uninstall windows is not entirely remove it.

    (5) another thing in the command prompt I don't remember exactly what it was, and I can't find the site Web is because I looked so much of.

    (6) I even reset my computer to factory settings and then uninstalled all unnecessary software and trials that come with and used the software again Norton removal tool.

  • How can I get unidentified network settings stick, private and change its name?

    I use Windows Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) on my computer at home, because my Internet is wireless usb (AT & T Quicksilver) device that can be plugged directly into my router (Linksys WRT110).  Given that the router accepts only as an internet connection ethernet cables, instead I use my desktop computer as the connection (ICS) and using the router only as a hub, essentially.

    Everything is working well at the moment.  The Office will connect to the internet and other computers and devices connected to the router (wired and wireless) are all works well and can share the internet connection.

    But whenever I restart the desktop computer, the default network is "unidentified network" and as a type of 'Public' without discovery service.  So every time I go to network settings and make it private.  It works fine until the next reboot.  In addition, I am not able to change the network name.  The field seems open for entry, but selecting and typing does nothing.

    I don't know if it's relevant, but other devices to connect to the network are laptops (of various working groups, need to be since they are mainly used to work) and a DirecTV DVR, using Mediashare (via Windows Media Server).  Yet once, they all work, after doing the private network, but this is lost at every restart of the desktop computer.

    I wish I could have it be a private network that is identified by a name and keep these parameters at each reboot.  But I have yet to find an online solution that worked for me.

    Matt,

    Thank you very much.  It worked like a charm.  I was pulling my hair out on this one for a few months.  Once again, a big thank you!

    For anyone else trying to solve the same problem, here is the summary of the solution.

    I have already had no default gateway specified.  As advised by Matt, I right click on the Local network connection (in network and sharing Center / manage network connections) and went in the IPV4 properties and put in the address of a default gateway (equal to the IP address of my router/hub).  I left the ICS settings and all the way IP addresses which I had them before (with zero in the third byte of the IP address of all and ICS turned on).  I have no registry changes.  The only change is the default gateway.  After this change, a wizard appears to allow me to set up the network properly.  And I could rename and define the private network.  And the changes were intact after several reboots.  Perfect.

  • Blocks VIRTUAL local network access to a tunnel VPN IPSec on WRV200?

    I have two identical WRV200 wireless routers which are connected by a VPN IPSec tunnel.  This goes to my LAN LAN of my parents.  Everything works well.

    But I also have my WRV200 configured for two VLANS.  Vlan1 for my network and secure wireless access.  VLAN2 for a WiFi not secure for customers.

    My problem is that my guest on VLAN2 slips through the VPN devices and access on LAN of my parents.  I'm looking for a way to block to do this.

    I use the version of the software on the two routers (v1.0.39).

    For what it's worth, I know that my receive an IP address in the range 192.168.x.101 DHCP - 199.  I could assign a different range if that helps.  I thought that I could block this beach on the remote router firewall, but I see there is blocking a single IP address at the time, maximum of 8.  Am I missing something?

    Or could I put something weird in the routing tables somewhere to get the IPs guest out of lala land?

    Any suggestions are appreciated.  I can't be the only one in this boat.

    Try to check local and remote, vpn under safe group settings if you change the ip address range subnet. Don't include the range of ip addresses of the computers wireless comments so that it will not pass through the vpn tunnel. If there is no ip range option, you must to the subnet of the network in order to control the ip address you want to allow on the vpn tunnel.
