    Hi Forum,

    I just bought a new HP Photosmart B110A printer range. I got set up with my Belkin wireless router. It is successfully connected. I could set up printing webservice as well. The printer is offline and I could also print a document by sending an email to the email address for the printer configuration. This means that the printer is connected to the wireless network and the internet.

    However, I can not connect to this printer from my PC connected to the same wireless netwrok. When I open the HP Solution Center, it displays the message "disconnected wireless.

    When I connect the printer via USB cable, I am able to connect to the PC and impressions as well fire.

  • XP SP3 cannot connect to WPA2 wireless network, but can Debian on the same PC.

    I have a Toshiba Portege M200 dual-boot Windows XP Tablet PC Edition with Service Pack 3 installed and Debian GNU/Linux codename Wheezy with Debian non-free package firmware-ipw2x00 allowing my wireless adapter to use and wicd package to manage wireless connections.

    Two operating systems are able to connect to a WPA - PSK network automatically without any problem whatsoever.

    Debian is able to automatically connect to a WPA2-PSK network without any problem, but simply Windows doesn't connect at all.

    Windows shows the WPA2 network in the list of available networks and correctly recognizes as having the WPA2 security.  However, when trying to manually connect, Windows ask me the network key (I have enter), then spend about two minutes «Waiting for network...» "with the usual animation and indefinite progress bar.  Windows back me to the list of available networks window, then shows me not connected to everything as if I didn't choose any.  When waiting for Windows to connect automatically, Windows will sometimes appear a bubble icon connection wireless network saying that it could not connect to one of my favorite networks but that he will continue to try.

    I get no error message or any other message of any kind.  Windows just trying with fanfare and fails silently.

    The two operating systems have updates of installed operating system vendor.

    Someone at - it ideas?

    To give a vision a little to the solution "install a new driver" discussed in the Technet forum thread, it seems that the problem here is the same as that commonly encountered when trying to update printer drivers: a user downloads the new driver and installs it but the problem remains.

    What happens is that if the older driver is not removed all first, it is not replaced by the new driver.

    Windows installs hardware devices using INFs.  They are located in % windir%\inf.  Actually, the previous statement is incomplete.  The first time that a device is installed, Windows uses the INF file to create a corresponding PNF file located in the same directory.  The PNF file is a "precompiled" version of the INF file and Windows Setup actually uses the PNF file because it is "more effective" to do.

    If you download a new driver and replace only the INF file and do not delete the old driver files, when you 'day' the driver, Windows Setup examines the old file PNF which points to the old files and uses.

    Then... either completely uninstall the device or at least delete the PNF file appropriate before attempting to install an updated driver.

    And download the new driver from Toshiba or the manufacturer of the adapter wireless in the computer.  Don't understand from Windows Update.

  • Can not get the new laptop to connect to my wireless network but connects to others

    I have just bought a new laptop Dell Inspiron 1545 to Dell.com and have tried to set up the wireless internet for the past hours. The laptop running Windows Vista Home Basic Edition, & my wireless router is an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station (about 4-5 years). Below is a list of problems / advice I've come across so far:

    (1) when trying to connect to a network, my network don't appears in the list of local networks sporadically even if she lost the signal strength of any nearby wireless signal (I must refresh the list to make it appear sometimes)
    (2) when my network is displayed in the list, it is described as a network that is not secure; There are 2 others that come and go in the list that are also not guaranteed, but I was able to connect through one of them.
    (3) when I try to connect via my network it either says unable to connect immediately or poster progress bar, then after a minute or two, says that it cannot connect.
    -to diagnose the problem, I can exclude is not not in the range of my camera as I tried to connect when I'm 2 feet more far
    -It also says view wireless connections again and try again, but this brings me to the same screen
    -L' diagnostics screen mentions that "the network is"hidden"and is either not in range of this computer or wireless settings on this computer do not match the settings of the network." (is there a setting I'm familiar with that?)
    (4) I checked device drivers and all said that they are working correctly
    (5) I can connect to the internet via a direct connection to the router via a cable ethernet not wireless

    In my view, that it is all the information I can provide about this problem. If you need more information, such as the specifications of the system, let me know where to find them and I will re-post. Thanks in advance for any help provided.

    -Jeremy

    Well, it looks like the old router was the problem. You have a new N Wireless for about $80 as suggested and it works like a charm. At took 5 seconds for your laptop to recognize and connect to it and were without problems since then. Thanks again for the help guys... I hope that I won't bother you again =)
