    I want to use my computer laptop wi - fi as a hotspot to use internet on my HTC Desire V for this I'm using connectify software but when I start HotSpot Wi - FI Access Point Encrypted (WPA2) method of sharing is for me the hosted Microsoft network is not available.

    Original title: Microsoft Hosted network is not available

    I had the same problem and that's what I did on my PC Win7:

    (Forgive me if my English is not good)

    1. verification of my network hosted in my driver. I have run the administrator command prompt and type netsh wlan start hostednetwork
    If you get this message:
    The hosted network could not be started. The group or resource is not in the correct state to perform the requested operation.

    Then you have the same problem with me. It is the next step.
    2. check my driver. Type of command line: netsh wlan show pilot
    Then I saw that my support pilot hosted network. If your driver does not support hosted network, I suggest update you your driver or reinstall it.
    How FND out your driver and update: Start - Control Panel - system and safety - device (under System) Manager - ECS

    3. If your drivers support hosted network but still will not start, then the problem could be that you do not have Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter (the same problem happened to me). You can search and download. I tried and installed the new card.
    Now I have Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter under network cards, in Device Manager.
    4. I tried step 1 and it worked! So I can run my Connectify and this error message never showed even once.
    I hope this works for you also.
    Good luck

  • T450s: Hosted network feature not supported?

    I have a ThinkPad T450s bought in Dec 2015 with Windows 10 Pro. It has the Intel AC 7265 wireless card. I am trying to use the hosted network feature Windows to use the laptop as a hotspot for other devices, but I can't make it work.

    When I open an administrator command prompt and run "netsh wlan show drivers", the parameter ' hosted network supported:' has the value 'no '.

    I tried updating the wireless network card driver via the tool companion of Lenovo, via the Intel driver update utility and Windows via the Device Manager. The wireless driver has been updated to version 18.330.1 dated dated 05-01-2016. Then, I rebooted the machine but still no improvement. The characteristic hosted network shows as not supported. I also tried showing the devices hidden in Device Manager but under network adapters, there is no virtual card listed Microsoft hosted network.

    Is this a driver problem? Anyone with a broadcast network animated T450s as being taken in charge?

    Thank you

    Well, I found a solution on the Intel community forum: https://communities.intel.com/message/327193. A couple of users in this thread (the one with a Lenovo X 1 carbon) suggested to use an older version of 18.11 18.12 driver. So that's what I did and it worked! Here are my actual steps:

  • "The hosted network could not be started."

    I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 and when trying to connect to my Wifi network, I found that the signal from the router was not strong enough to reach the floor, and since I have a laptop connected with a cable that I thought I could make it work like a virtual router. After some research, I found several programs:

    I tried Connectify, which did not work. Then I tried Virtual Router, that does not work either. Then, I found this:

    And it worked, the network appeared in the list on my phone. Unfortunately, when you try to connect, it got stuck on ' Optaining IP-address '.
    I tried to use a static IP address, and even with one put in place, it got stuck on ' Optaining IP-address '.
    After that, I have been clicking through the menus a lot and hit accidentally turn off somewhere. Since then, when I try to start the virtual router, it says:
    The hosted network could not be started.
    The group or resource is not in the correct state to perform the requested operation.
    I can't find the place where I hit the turn off, and I don't know what to do more :(

  • Bluetooth network is not available

    Been trying for a while to use AirDrop on my MacBook Pro (Version OS X El Capitan 10.11.6) and my iPhone 6 s more.

    Just realized today that it might not work because the Bluetooth on the Pro does not work. With each device I try a pairing, it says that the network is not available and that I need to make sure that network access is enabled. Trying to do this, system preferences > network > Bluetooth PAN, I get the same message. I need you to ensure that network access is enabled.

    Someone else had this problem? Any ideas on how to solve it?

    Open system preferences > Bluetooth. Make sure that Bluetooth is enabled.

    Hi lindat7439924,

    There is no uninstall for Mac Reader program. You can directly delete the application from the Applications folder, which is just trash/Applications/Adobe Reader.app.

    Then you can download Adobe reader from here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

    Original title: cannot connect Yoga 11 on behalf of Microsoft (Win RT)

    Hi all

    A week ago, I bought the new Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 11, win RT

    All air well excluding the following problem: I couldn't move the laptop to my Microsoft account.
    Currently, the laptop is connected to the local account, but that does not allow me to use SkyDrive and MS Store.

    I tried on:
    Went to Setup, press the button, then I asked to provide my local password and then my email.

    Finally, the white rectangle appeared for half a minute about, and then following message will appear:
    Connect with the Microsoft account.
    The service is not available right now - please try again later.

    I tried for a week, to no avail.

    I don't know that my Microsoft account works well. I can connect using a web browser.

    I called Lenovo support, but they won't help me because, as they say, they have no idea about the problems of Microsoft. And they directed me to MS support.

    So I called MS support service, they told me that they do not support Windows RT. As they say: Windows RT IS NOT a MICROSOFT PRODUCT, every HW vendor built for her own use he wants. And they sent me to the support of Lenovo.

    Catch-22. Deadlock.
    ... ...

    Everyone faced with similar problem?
    What would you suggest?

    Thank you in advance!

    PS. It was also a problem with the activation of Windows. Finally I did over the phone.

    Finally, I managed to switch to MS account. The date of the laptop was wrong.

    The issue is closed.

    A big thank you to all and especially in Aïssa B Ganesh

  • Microsoft hosted network

    I create a network hosted by using the command line. I was wondering if there is no way to block a MAC address by using the command line. The most I can do is run the netsh wlan show hostednetwork command to see what mac address is located on the network, but I can't block everything. Is there a way to do this?

    This is my first time posting and I do not see a category to put this so I'll just put it in a category at random.
