My computer is connected to multiple networks which is better?

If so how?, couldn't notice anything different.
as you can see in the attached image described, I am currently connected to the internet through ethernet also with my iphone, and I can also connect a wireless usb card and get another network

Not usually, it will not normally make a difference for you.  Only the 'best' current connection will be used to load a Web site for example, if you get no increase in speed.  In addition, it opens your attack surface for piracy, so I recommend against it and simply use the connections that you need.

  • Need 32-bit win7 driver for HP deskjet 950C for computer not connected to the network

    I can't find a way to load the driver for a 950C on a 32-bit computer Win7 HPDeskjet has NO internet access and no other network connection.  [Why is this so isolated computer?-this product is a Win7-Embedded-based instrument not designed for access to the network]

    The answers I found to this need internet access or a network solution.

    Can I get the files from the driver on a USB stick and install it?

    Help, please!

    Thank you

    -Tony H.

    This can be done, it is a bit involved.  You can download the driver site catalog update from Microsoft here:

    http://catalog.update.Microsoft.com/v7/site/search.aspx?q=DeskJet%20950c

    You should not use IE to your browser, other browsers are not supported on the catalog site.  Is the file that you want to a 32-bit system with a size of 11.4 MB.  (11.6 MB file is for x 64 systems and 13.9 MB system is for Server IA64 systems.)  Once the file has been downloaded, open a DOS command prompt and change directory to the location where the file was downloaded.  Then insert your USB key (I'll assume it's the X: drive in what follows) and in the BACK of the box type the following:

    Expand * .cab-F: * x:\

    This will extract the files and develop on your X: drive.  You can then take the USB drive to your computer and click Start, devices and printers, add a printer, have a disk and point to the INF on drive X:.

  • Connect to multiple networks

    Greetings. I have a HP 8600 all-in-one. Recently, I replaced an old router with a new router Linksys AC1900. This router is dual-band with 2 ghz and 5 ghz networks as well as a network of customers. All rooms have unique SSID. Is it possible to connect the 8600 to be seen and used by all 3 networks without having to manually change networks? I have the additional option to connect the 8600 in a USB port on the router itself if it would help. Appreciate any thoughts.

    Hi @GQuack

    The 2.4 and the 5.0 are the broadcast frequency of the network, they would all have the same SSID (network name). The guest network has a different SSID and is indeed without wire. The problem is, you can't have a connected Ethernet and use wireless, so you can not connect the printer to the guest network.

    I put my thinking cap and may have developed a possible work around! Where there is a will there is a way!

    Instead of getting a second printer, although the wireless radio is turned off when the Ethernet connection is connected, you can use the direct wireless printers for those who use your network of comments. It's not exactly ideal, but it works. Basically, the printer has its own network, and anyone can connect to it. You can set it up to make it a secure network and give the password, or you can make an unsecured network.

    How it would work: those located on the network of comments should be disconnect from the network comments and attached network printers when they want to print something. Yes, not ideal, but it's the only thing I could come up with the connection of a USB cable whenever they want to print, or purchasing a second printer.

  • If I have "Everyone" grant access to an external hard drive, which means that everyone connected to my network?

    I finally understood how to allow those that are related to my network to access my external hard drive, or so I think...

    If I have "Everyone" add to my safety for the external hard drive and I concede that "Everyone" control total, this means that these signed to my correct home network?

    I want to just make sure that the people not connected to my network (which is password protected) cannot access the hard disk.

    Thank you in advanced for your answer!

    Not everyone wants to say exactly that any connection to the drive can access. To restrict access, you must set the account in some way. In a workgroup, there is no definition of the global account for all accounts have access or each user must be explicitly included.

    Even all the computers in a home group have an additional account generated to allow cross access.

  • When a computer XP starts, the following errors occur. Can't find Mac addresses, can't find DHCP at startup. PC is not connected to a network. Why would it gives this error at startup.

    When a computer XP starts, the following errors occur. Can't find Mac addresses, can't find DHCP at startup. PC is not connected to a network.

    Why would it gives this error at startup?

    It is not a Windows problem, it happens very early in the boot process until Windows is still a part of the image.  Your computer is configured for a remote network via PXE boot and there is no this PXE server so that you get this error message.  With PXE network boot, you can start a computer without him having a hard drive, the operating system resides on another machine on the network.  When the BIOS does not find the PXE server it gives you the error message, and then it proceeds to the next start equipment, which is probably your local hard drive.  Go into the BIOS and disable the PXE boot option or move it to the bottom of the boot order so that the hard drive is set as the primary boot device.

  • Computer connects to the network wireless as "local only".

    I am running Vista Home Premium SP2 on a HP Pavilion laptop.  I've never had any problems to connect this machine to a wireless network before, in hotels, at home, or anywhere.  My current home network is a modem - cable-> wireless-> wireless netgear n300 router.  My laptop connects to the internet via the modem cable directly or a wire from the netgear router.  I have a second, almost cell identical (it's intel, while the one who does not is AMD) which connects to the network wireless without any problem.  Two iphones connected wirelessely without any problem.  My HP laptop is the only one who refuses to connect to the internet.  Connected to the wireless network, it has access "local only".

  • My computer does not connect to my network... !!!

    Hi, my Dell laptop (Inspiron 1420) work properly after that only after a certain time he reported that the wireless card will not work correctly. Now, the laptop does not connect to my network more, even with cable LAN, I checked the Device Manager and I found a yellow exclamation on the Microsoft ISATAP #2 map then I double clicked it only to discover in its properties of this statement, "this device does not work properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31). Well, I try all I can, but the problem is still there, and the laptop won't always connect to my network, please anyone has an idea as to what I could do please answer as soon as possible. tThank you.

    Go to the website of the manufacturer of your router > make sure you have the latest Firmware in Vista for it.

    Go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/notebook > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for it last network adapters Vista drivers > download/install the.

    Try without commitment TCP/IPv6:

    If you still have internet connection probs, one thing to try is the separation of the TCP/IPv6 (which is done by going to network connection > right click > properties > it uncheck > OK.)

  • Unable to connect to the network because the parameters of the computer do not match the requirements of the network.

    The main computer in my house is connected to the web via a modem to our ISP (Cox).  We use a Cisco's Linksys wireless router.  We have configured a new laptop to connect through the router yesterday.  Now my laptop, which had been the connection very well, can't access the network.  When I go in the "network and sharing Center" and pull up nearby wireless networks, our network shows is even more bars, just a red X.  Reads the error message "unable to connect to this network because the settings of that computer to match the parameters required network.»

    I don't know what has changed on our network, but I was unable to understand what these "required parameters" are, so I was unable to change the settings of my laptop to match the requirements.  Pls help.

    Hi Sharpdale,

    Step 1

    I first suggest you to perform network troubleshooting in Windows 7 and check if it finds problems, and if he is able to fix it.

    Step 2

    Use Windows to configure wireless settings and check if it helps to solve the problem.

    a. click on Start menu and select run

    b. type ncpa.cpl, and then click OK to open the menu of the network connections.

    c. Select your Wi - Fi connection service and choose the option change settings of this connection.

    d. go to the wireless tab and select (tick) labeled use Windows to configure my wireless network

  • HP Envy 4500: Printer connected to the network; laptop computer connected to the network; laptop cannot find the printer!

    I searched through the forums and read a few threads about similar questions, but do not yet have a solution to my problem.  The printer is connected to the network (even printed page "Congratulations, you're connected" with all the relevant information).  It is on the same network as my laptop.  However, when I run the exe to install on my laptop, it does not find the printer, even when I put the IP address the printer gave me on the congratulations page!  I have run Avast Free Antivirus 2015 on my machine, but don't see any particularly troubling parameters which could interfere.

    Any thoughts on how I can get the laptop to see the printer?

  • I don't know if I'm connected to a network. How would this knowledge? I've never read "Learning the Computer for Dummies"!

    How will I know if I'm connected to a network?  IP address conflict arises and I don't know what to do.  I forgot to get the book "Learning the Computer for Dummies", which I should have got that I'm completely computer illiterate!  Please, someone help!

    You can have an ip address conflict if you are connected to the internet through a wired or wireless router that allows two or more computers or other devices in your home to connect to the internet at the same time usually by means of a cable or dsl internet provider.  You can have this conflict, even if the computers in your House did not implement a network to share files and printers between them.  You can go to control panel > network and sharing Center to view network information.

    A common situation that can lead to a conflict of ip address, it's only 2 (or more) computers or other devices are connected to the router (via ethernet or wireless), and both have ip addresses assigned by the router automatically, one of the computers, then past in mode 'sleep', and while we sleep the router restarts.  When the router comes back online he doesn't know the computer sleeps is here and that he already has an assigned ip address and so it gives the ip address of the other computer.  When the computer asleep wakes duplicate error will be triggered.  It can be solved by turning off computers and turn it back on so that the router will assign them new ip addresses.  If this is not what is happening in your situation, the following may help: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Get-help-with-There-is-an-IP-address-conflict-message

  • How can I connect my Mac to a network server? As in windows yo go to my computer / connection to a network drive, and then you select a letter and write the name of the server that you want to be logged

    I'm trying to adapt Windows to my new MacBook Pro with OS El Capitan.

    I work remotely for a company and I want to connect my Mac to the server of the company.

    My question is how to connect a MAc to a network drive with the permanently available connection.  For example, in my old HP I went to my computer / connection to a network drive. I've selected a letter and note the name of the server that I wanted to be connected to. The connection was then shown with my other drive hard 'sections '; I want to say C:, D: (for recovery), e: (for tools) and then connecting to the external server has been shown with the selected letter.

    There is no "letter" under OS X. It's a hangover very old of BACK, devices of mapping and volumes labeled mailbox.

    If you are connected to your corporate network, you should see the available network volumes listed in the Finder, in ' my computer > network ", or with the command K to connect to a server.

    You can create an alias for the volume and put it in the Dock, or leave on the desktop or put it somewhere else, and the next time you want to connect to this subject, simply double-click on it. You can also add the server address to your "favourites" in the connect to Server dialog box.

  • 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
