• Windows live family safety makes the network/internet connection hang at 6 + minutes at startup

  When starting the laptop, the system hangs and does not connect to the internet for another 6 minutes after it starts.  Programs such as MS office Internet will work, while wait us... and wait...

  After 6 minutes it just connects and runs normally without assistance.

  I am running windows live family safety on a Vista sp2 with all updates completed.

  If I uninstall WLFS then the problem disappears.

  I have found no other mention of this on the web than this thread.  Can anyone tell if there is a solution?

  This happened for several months, but has only been bought to my attention by my niece, who, at the age of 12, all machines take 8.5 minutes to start to work!  I guess that there is a bug in an update somewhere causing this as it was working fine when I initially installed and set up the machine.

  Thank you very much

• SPA942 not visible to the network after factory reset

  Hello

  A while ago someone at our office a factory reset on one of our Linksys SPA942 phones.  He thought that it worked (it worked flawlessly; but our router has decreased. Great).  The sad thing is, from the factory, it did not work.

  The problem is that no matter what we try - DHCP or static IP - we do not seem to make this device visible on our network. As in, type us its IP address in a browser and do not see the Setup page.

  We have tried everything we can think of.  Subnet mask is correct. Addresses DNS and IP - PBX (for not they should really make a difference) are correct.  I don't see what the problem is.

  Can someone please offer a suggestion, before go me crazy? !!!

  Thank you very much.

  Jarrod

  First of all, thank you for your response. It prompted me to do some play. Here are the results, in case anyone else having a similar problem (a cable by a novice/cheapskate) stumbles across this post...

  We don't have a SPA9000. Simply, we have a Belkin router wired to four points:

  1. downstairs IP - PBX - work

  2. downstairs SPA942 & PC - both work

  3. downstairs SPA942 & PC - both work

  4 floor SPA942 (does not work) & PC (work)

  So... all PC connect perfectly to the Internet and the network, as do both phones down.

  Following the principle of your simple suggestion ("make sure that it is correctly connected to the network") and the first rule of tech support ("is the computer plugged in, sir?"), I decided to reject the hypothesis that the handset was at fault and check if the connection upstairs was to blame (even if the PC we have up there connects very well).

  Bingo! Telephone three works when it is plugged downstairs. Phone two, which worked fine at the bottom, does not work on the floor.

  So now I know what the problem is... but have no idea WHY the problem is. Why don't the floor point network working perfectly for each device I care to plug in - office book server, ATA, fax, you name it - and not for the SPA942?

  I changed all the cables around the router, in order to verify if there was something wrong with a specific port. That has not changed anything. Assume that all router ports are fine.

  So what does this leave... the cable? Seems unlikely, but all other possibilities have been rejected.

  So, I put the phone on the floor downstairs and plugged directly on the router, using another length of cable. Knit then all three phones.

  Look closer to the floor and found wiring that it is three separate lengths of CAT5, joined with connectors RJ45 base (suppose cabler could not to allow/couldn't be bothered buying a cable length).

  Last question... it is likely one of the lengths is a cable cross/patch... that all the devices other than our SPA942 are smart enough to understand this and to compensate accordingly? How the office is wired, it is very tedious and precarious (12 foot ceilings, etc.) to get in there and change the cable lengths, but obviously do so if it is the likely culprit.

  Thanks again,

• Remove or replace the name of the network (Vista, wired to the router)

  I have 4 computers on my network home (a new laptop and Windows 7 desktop computer and an older laptop and desktop Vista, which are replaced - laptops are wireless).  I had a LOT of problem with printer sharing, especially after a reboot printer goes offline, and I can't find any way to get them back another remove printers and reinstalling (disappointment, disappointment, disappointment) online.  And then I started having problems with one of the Vista (cables to the router) computers access the computer Windows 7 new, also wired to the router.

  Then I will begin first with the last problem.  Trying to get the old wired Office Access/recognize the new desktop windows 7 Wired, I ended up resetting my fairly new Linksys router e2500 to its factory setting - and in the process gained a new network name.  I finally understood how to get the laptops wireless to recognize the new network (should be easy, but it wasn't), but the old wired Vista insists on the use of the former name of network, one that appears in the network and sharing Center implementation.  The other funny thing is that even though she seems to be using the former name of network, I put on Jack autour with her so I don't have Internet access on my old Vista computer.

  I guess that because it is trendy, it seems not to worry about the network name, but it's bothering me because it's not fair.  However, I can't find any way to delete the old name of network.  I spent the day on that and am still confused.  Baffled because it is working and baffled because I can change the name.  I also get a lot of mistakes "Windows cannot access \\myWindows7computername" when I double click on the name displayed in the network folder of Windows Explorer (probably more serious problem).  In any case, I want to address what should be first the problem of easire.

  I discovered enabled network, public folder sharing, which transforms file on the computer discovery and Vista network, sharing the printer and sharing active files (but only on the printer and all the other things of file not checked), and sharing files public computer to Windows 7 (the one with the printers connected to it) - and passwords disabled on both (all computers).

  So my first question is how to make the network name on the Vista desktop wired old deleted/changed/replaced for the new name of the current network.  Why it does not insist in using the former name of network that no longer exists.

  Ron in round rock

  Sorry about that, but I got my answer from another forum, a Linksys Forum - and I will talk about a few things in case other people have this problem/question.

  To remove the network name that appears on the Network Center and sharing, click on the link to customize to the right of the network type - and on the next screen, click on merge or delete network locations, you will / should be able to remove (don't know what fusion done or means) the network with the wrong name, EXCEPT that you can't remove it If it is being used (which is / was the problem I had).  When I unplugged the cable between the computer and the router, I was able to remove the network location (the one with the old name of network), I tried to get rid of.

  Now for the confession.  All this has nothing to do with the name of the network - and most of the things in my original post is just smoke also.  I was going down the wrong path.  It turns out that with computers connected to a router, there is only one network involved and you can call it anything you like and it will work.  There is no selection of a network involved as in the case of a wireless network.

  Network with wired computers name is determined lby network name "you enter" on the screen to customize network settings, the screen you get when you click Customize on the screen of the Network Center and sharing - and you can type in anything you want here.  I'd so go through all this.  I simply had to re - enter the network name on the screen to customize network settings, that is simply a name that you can use for your own reference.

• How to secure the network after reset of the router WRT54G2

  Hello

  I could reset the WRT54G2 router with no problems, I have the IP address as 192.68.2.1 right now, but when I try to record things in the wireless security mode to make my secure system loses connectivity, fall of red zone. Then I can not connect to 192.68.2.1 more. How can I make the network secure? I usually follow the steps for making it from docs online but seems to have problems with it. Is that I can make it safe with the 192.68.1.1 or the amount of the fine with 192.68.2.1?

  San

  Make sure that your computer is connected to the router by an Ethernet cable, if you try to change the settings on your router using a wireless computer, then you will face this problem. So wired your computer to the router, turn off the WiFi feature on your router and then changes on your router and you should be to save your router settings.

• Windows Vista Firewall: Uncheck basic network layout would make my computer more secure on the Public network?

  I use the Public network a lot.  I noticed that on my Windows Vista firewall, Core Networking is checked on by default.  Unchecking it would make my computer more secure on the Public network?  I already checked in my firewall settings, block all incoming connections.  Regarding security, I run MSE, like Spyware Blaster in the background.  Automatic updating and Malware Protection are on.  My other security settings are OK.  I do not understand why Core Networking is checked on by default.  This would make an open port, right?  Unchecking it would make my computer more secure?  Thank you.

  Hello

  If you uncheck Core Networking IPv4 and IPv6 will be unreliable or blocked.

  You have a router, a firewall (today, most have them) which is excellent protection
  for your network against external influences. In addition, Windows Firewall.

• Make visible external hard drive on the network

  Hello.

  Here at my office, we have a server that contains records of employment. Whenever a task is completed, and is no longer needed, remove us the server and drop it on an external hard drive. This allows us to keep completed jobs in case they need to be referenced later while still freeing up space on the server.

  From now on, I am in possession of an external hard drive. Unfortunately, it's a little awkward for other people here at the office have constantly come to me old job information.

  So, this brings me to my question. Is there a way to ensure that all users of the network can access the information on the external hard drive? I'm pretty sure it's possible. I am running Windows XP. I plugged external and active Simple file sharing.  I already tried simply by looking at the properties of the drive and affecting him so it is shared with other people on the network. I was still not able to access the drive on the network. Do I need some kind of special material? I am naïve. Can someone help me?

  It must be configured as a shared folder for third-party access to the drive on the network.  Since you are not using a real server but the working groups (serving on workstation) each machine that is trying to access the files must have the same account that you use on the computer"to serve."
   
  BTW, XP Pro allows only 10 'connections' and it's not computers but "services" to connect to it.
   
  Have you tried to plug the external drive into the server and share where using field of the server if the server runs a network of real estate?

• Computer visible on the network

  I have a network that until recently worked as it should, it consists of a mixture of XP, Win 7, and WHS (V1 and 2011) as well as an Ubuntu machine. The problem was that I couldn't see my 3 of my machines Win 7 XP machines. It is now sorted, I hope! The problem I have now is that my main PC (Win7 Ultimate) displays all disks and partitions for all other computers on the network despite only downloads, my images, music etc. annotated as shared. For example, all users on the network can see my C:\ drive. Advice would be welcome.

• That means "another device on the network use the IP address of your computer"?, that means "another device on the network is using the IP address of your computer?

  That means "another device on the network use the IP address of your computer"?, that means "another device on the network is using the IP address of your computer?

  A

  Most likely, the computer becomes a network address of a router. The assignment of an address ("lease") expires and must be renewed after a certain period of time, which could be an hour or a day. The lease expired without being renewed because the device has been disconnected at the time. Meanwhile, the address has been leased to another device on the network, or maybe the router has not updated its list of addresses the leases. When the device offline comes back online, a conflict results. Depending on the type of router you have, the conflict can resolve itself automatically. If not, then in the menu bar, select please

  ▹ System Preferences network ▹ 

  If the preferences window is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Click the Advanced button, and then select the TCP/IP tab in the sheet that drops down. Look at the menu option

  Configure IPv4

  If the selection in this menu is

  Using DHCP

  Click on the button

  Renew the DHCP lease

  Test.

  Make sure that you have more than one DHCP server on the network. That could happen if you have more than one access point Wi - Fi, or if you have a router and broadband a wide device distinct in connection mode sharing.

  B

  Less likely, you have a network address that you assigned yourself and another device is itself by assigning the same address. In this case, the selection to configure IPv4 menu will be either manually or using DHCP with manual address. This kind of conflict will not be resolved automatically. You have the following options to solve:

  1. Change the selection in menu using DHCP.
  2. Change the address assigned manually to one that is not used by another device.
  3. Change the address of the other device.

  Which of these options you choose depends on the details of why you use a static IP address. Any changes you make to the network settings is necessary before taking effect. To do this, click OK, and then click apply.

  If the router is also your device at wide band, then he may be operating in bridged mode. In this case, only one customer at a time will be able to connect to the Internet. Consult the manufacturer or ISP documentation for how to reconfigure the device in the connection mode sharing.

  C

  According to a report a "DirectTV" receiver can cause the problem. If necessary, disconnect the device from the network, or power off and test. Consult the support services provider.

• Computer not finding printer on the network

  I have an OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus with a wireless connection to my home network, E2000 Cisco router. I have install the printer using the software that comes with it. Everything worked fine for several months, but recently, I found that my network computers are randomly impossible to locate the printer on the network. I am also unable randomly ePrint. I noticed that if I power cycle the router, the computer will then find the printer. Now, I am regularly power cycling the router. Should not have these problems, I don't know even where to start asking questions. I'm not having other problems with the router. I connect to the internet OK, see the other computers on the network OK, just could not find the printer. There are usually 3 different computers that are enabled and disabled the network throughout the day (sometimes using the printer, sometimes not).

  What are some of the common issues that could cause this problem? Any suggestions to make the connection to the most reliable printer?

  Hi there, your PC into hibernation should not make a difference but some common router settings to watch out include:

  •Wireless isolation is enabled (won't let not peripheral connected wireless to talk with each other)

• Unable to communicate with the host computer using the network University compactRIO

  Please move this topic to the appropriate section if it is not the right section. I can't locate a Council called the compactRIO. Thank you very much.

  I encounter this problem of network communication with my cRIO 9067. the linklocal or USB connection is fine but not static IP connection on the network. I contacted the it Department to assign me a static IP address for my MAC address of cRIO. In our University, they block only unknown MAC address access and the cRIO is in the whitelist. Here are the details

  cRIO attributed to IP address: 129.12.54.xxx, tried both netmask 255.255.255.0 and 255.255.0.0, no luck

  the host computer's static IP address: 129.12.50.xxx, subnet mask 255.255.255.0 (information of cmd - ipconfig)

  First question would be: they are on the same subnet? I need to make sure that even if scientists confirm that.

  Secondly, I followed https://www.ni.com/getting-started/set-up-hardware/compactrio/static-ip by using the IP address assigned, but not luck. I've noticed that I configure same address type cRIO static IPv4 using the USB connection or for local link mode, she went in DHCP mode or Local link once I unplug the USB and restart it.

  Whenever I restart MAX, connect the cRIO and my host to Ethernet jack on the wall, it shows the DHCP mode or link with assigned Local 129.12.54.xxx IP and the subnet mask 255.255.255.248. In addition, I am not able to change it in a drop-down list even after removing it and restart MAX indicated by tutorials OR.

  If you need more information, please let me know.

  Help, please!

  Jinyu

  Dear Mikko,

  I am pleased to tell you that the problem has been resolved. The cRIO works very well.

  The reason why it does not work is in first place because they are in the other subnet. For my school, my host is 12x.1x.54.130 and the IP assigned to my cRIO is 12x.1x.54.131. the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 number marked in red must be the same for the cRIO is connected correctly.

  Kind regards

• OfficeJet 4630: Says printer connected to the network, but computer says that it is not connected or idle

  I can't print to our hp officejet printer range 4630.  The printer says that it is connected to our home wireless network.  However, he said that it is inactive or not connected to the network on my mac.  The only way it will print sometimes is if I switch to a wireless network that is named the same as the printer.  AirPrint does not work.  We have a Linksys router.  Not sure if this is the problem or not.  I ran all kinds of diagnostic impressions on the printer and all say that it is connected.  I also tried to put the ip address into my web browser and it does not find the printer when it is connected to our home network.  Help, please!

  Thanks for trying my earlier recommendations. In my view, the problem you are experiencing may be with your wireless router. Normally, I would have you make sure that it is configured correctly, but you cannot access the built-in Web server.

  I want to try to set a static IP address, so we can try to get in the EWS. Please continue here: printer does not maintain the wireless connection

  A little luck? If you were able to set a static IP address, please try and access the built-in Web server. Follow the steps below:

  1. open EWS (use my earlier recommendations) printers

  2. go to the Network tab

  3. network protocols

  4. Select enable IPv4 ONLY

  Now with IPv4 enabled, you should be able to print wireless.

  If this isn't the case, you will need your router company to make sure that the multicast is enabled, Hello Protocol is enabled, mac filtering is disabled and ask them to check if there are updates the firmware for the router and the router's firewall check to make sure that it does not obstruct the communication

  The following ports are also used by your HP device and may need to be opened on your firewall configuration

  Incoming (UDP) ports are ports of destination on the computer while outgoing ports (TCP) are ports of destination on the HP device

  Incoming ports (UDP)

  137, 138, 161, 427

  Outbound ports (TCP)

  137, 139, 427, 9100, 9220, 9500

  The ports are used for the following functions:
