• Cannot turn off or disable password protected sharing the network and sharing Center

  I'm trying to turn some pretty simple sharing of files between our windows PC (two portable minicomputers running under XP, a desk and a laptop running vista). File sharing functions between the XP computers. However, I am simply unable to influence the "password protected sharing setting" in the network and sharing Center. I check the option to turn it off and I get a click through UAC dialog window, the mouse cursor turns for a short time while as if windows is pretending to do something, but the password protected sharing setting is always on.

  I tried to disable Avira Antivir.

  I enabled the guest account and set its password to a string explicitly empty with net user guest «»

  Nothing helps.

  svampi,

• Network and sharing Center shows not connected, but the computer is connected to the wireless network

  When I open the network and sharing Center, or hold my mouse pointer on the icon of internet connection in the bottom right of the taskbar, it shows that I'm not connected to a network. However, I know that I'm connected to the internet. My internet and e-mail work correctly. Also, when I click on the 'Connect to a network' option, find the list of available wireless networks, and it shows that I'm connected to my home network. How can I make Windows everywhere where I am connected to the internet, instead of recognizing only on the list of the networks without wire-available?

  Had exactly the same problem on Windows 7 (win7). Connected to the Internet but the status showing no connection and a red cross on the network icon. Problem has also caused problems to connect to Lync and Office365 along with VPN, which apparently uses the status to check whether the connection is available.

  Found the solution here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/w7itpronetworking/thread/df17c593-e78f-4878-97b0-7569307934c5

  Apparently, certain permissions gets hurt in the database record and must be fixed using RegEdit. The solution is a step by step and likely to be resolved simply by removing a cache of file using RegEdit and potentially affecting certain permissions.

  It will be useful.

  2. to turn off the automatic setting:
  Run as administrator command prompt.
  Type: "netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel = disabled" (without the quotes) and press ENTER.

  See that article following (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833) if it can help you to manually replace the files that SFC could not fix, it also gives you measurements on log file filtering so that only unsuccessful repairs of SFC are listed. Please note that the best source for replacement files would be a sound installation of vista with the functions you want to work.

  I will add to check your hard disk for errors, as corruption SFC could be linked to it. For details, see check your drive for errors .

  Our final recommended option for the problem that you encounter will be a Vista repair install:

• restore service dependency for the network and sharing Center

  How to restore the dependency service or group who couldn't start for network and sharing Center?

  Hi patto1708,

  If it was something that was already previously and failed after certain activities on the computer for which you are not aware of, then the best possible thing to do is run a system restore. This will ensure that your computer is back to operational status.

  For more information about the system restore, you can see the link: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/System-Restore-frequently-asked-questions

  Or you may need to check for the dependency of the network and sharing center services and start them manually when they are stopped manually.

  See the link: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Manage-services-in-Windows-Vista-from-Windows-Vista-Inside-Out to learn more about how to manage services in Windows Vista

• Problem with wireless - Vista Network and Sharing Center does not recognize my connection!

  I use the Home Visa software and my network and sharing Center does not recognize my connection but I can access the internet without any problem. Previously, I was using a wireless router Linksys with an old box of AT & T internet with no problems. The problems started after I updated my AT & T internet box that made obsolete the linksys router and now the network share does not connect. I just have the problem of getting the network and sharing device recognizing that I am actually connected to a wireless network. I can't use my printer or share files with other people. I can't get my wireless printer to work if I restart my computer and I have the documents I want printed already sent to the printer. My network and sharing Center also works very well for a few seconds when I start my computer then it turns off again.

• How can I connect to the internet? Problems involving the network and sharing Center does not.

  Hello.
  I live in a House and bought a range extender so that I can get a connection in my basement as well.  I have installation range Extenders without problem.  When you install the range extender, I changed my name to my network router.  I changed the name of the network by typing 192.168.1.1 in my browser.
  The MacBook connects without a problem.  In the basement, the connection of Windows 7 works very well.  I have just connected Vaio Windows 7 my mother to the network, but it prompted that I enter the user credentials.  I read a post above and got that problem solved by opening the network and sharing Center and adding a new connection.  Now that the connection is configured correctly.
  The problem is with the laptop HP Windows Vista family basis.  Since I install the range extender, I can't connect to the network.  He had no problems before you connect the router or other networks to visit other places.  The new network name appears, but when I click it, it says I have to enter the user credentials.  I tried to manually, but the name is taken so I can't make a new and invites me to connect to the network that is established or to connect to a different network.
  • I tried to open the network and sharing Center, but it does not open.  When I click it, it opens a screen for a brief second.  The option "Display the status of network and tasks" opens either.

  • I logged as an Administration by entering the command line < net="" user="" administrator="" ctive:yes=""> > and restarted the laptop.  Even logged in as administrator, this folder does not open.

  • I also did a scan < sfc="" cannow=""> >.  The digitized rolled up with an error, but the error has been corrected.

  • I also updated the connection of the range extender.

  Why the network and sharing Center will not be open to the top?
  How can I configure my router my HP Windows Vista Linksys connection?
  Thank you.  Please let me know if you need more information.

  Thanks for your reply.

  In a last attempt, my sister has used the ethernet cable to connect directly to our router.  Next time, she turned on her laptop, she managed to connect to our wireless network and she was not invited to enter credentials.
  In this case, the manual connection helped solved the problem.

• Network and sharing Center will not be open in the Panel

  I've been away from home - where I HSI and it works very well - for a few months, I plugged to the network sporadically awireless (sometimes just bad signal), with a lot of frustration.  A few days ago, I went to a place where I could connect to a hard (secure) wireless network and enjoyed the smooth navigation for about an hour.  Later when I tried to connect to the smaller network, unsecure, I couldn't open my network and sharing Center. Whether from the drawer or the Control Panel, a screen opens displaying nothing, but the circle of rotation.  The TASK MANAGER IS REQUIRED to CLOSE THE PAGE - it will not answer the close box. TM shows the centre network and sharing as 'running', although there is no indication on the screen, except the title and the circle of rotation.

  My laptop is a dv6t Pavilion with Windows 7 (64-bit)

  All the other files in the Panel seem to open and operate normally.

  Hello Hamanslayer

  Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

  I understand the network and sharing Center will not be open. I will do my best to help you! If please launch and center network and sharing, and wait for him so that he can provide an error. In addition, please try to run Centre network and sharing in a different user account. If you don't have one, create one.

  I did some research on this issue. Unfortunately, the only reliable troubleshooting that is remaining, if the above does not help, is to reinstall the operating system. Too, there are different issues that could be causing it. Reinstalling the operating system will focus on each of them.

  First, please save all the files you need. You can find specific steps on how to proceed in the following HP document: backup of files (Windows 7)

  Once this is done, you can safely reinstall the operating system. I'll also give you a document on how to do it: perform a recovery of the system (Windows 7) HP

  Please let me know your results. Thanks again for the display on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

• Center network and sharing Center shows "Page failed to load".

  On Windows Vista, Network and Sharing Center comes with a blank page except for text in the middle and says 'The Page impossible to load' steps, I tried:

  Clean boot

  SFC/scannow

  CHKDSK /r

  System Restore (has not only once other succeeded, but does not solve the problem)

  None of them have worked. I have reviewed the SFC newspaper and looked at DLL files, it says could not be fixed and replaced those with well known copies.

  A clean install is not a good option in this case either. My thoughts are that it is a corrupt DLL somewhere or a DLL that has incorrect permissions.

  On another note, I can't connect to wireless networks either. To be more exact, no networks appear in the list (I can connect by typing the SSID manually. The pop-up icon wireless in the status bar indicates "networks are available", but the list shows no. I believe that these two issues are related. Please give suggestions and connents, I appreciate all help.

  Thank you.

  Hello
   
  Do you remember any change to your computer before the problem?
   
  Search for related errors and Event Viewer .

  I suggest that you follow these steps and check if the problem persists.

  Step 1:

  You can uninstall the drivers for the network adapters in the Device Manager and reinstall the same.

  To uninstall the wireless device manager,

  1. click on Start , type Device Manager in the start search box and press ENTER.

  2 locate the network adapters and expand the same.

  3. Select the adapter, right click and selectUninstall.

  4 restart the computer, if prompted.

  Pilots should settle automatically after the computer restarts.

  Note: Before uninstalling the drivers from Device Manager, make sure that you have a backup installation files.

  Step 2:

  A. If not help, to create a new user account and check if the problem persists.

  B. Si the problem is resolved in a new user profile, then probably you had a corrupted profile and can be remedied .

• Windows Vista connected online but not shown on network and sharing Center or on the taskbar, leads to other problems

  I have a Dell Inspiron 1520 running on Windows Vista, my router modem is a Motorola SURFboard SBG901. A few months ago on this computer, I couldn't see that I was connected online either from right down icon in my taskbar (it shows just two monitors with an 'x', that when you highlight on he says "not connected, you are currently not connected to any network.")  I don't see it on my network and sharing Center which States: "not connected wireless connections are available." In terms of network it shows that my PC and then the line that has an x on him. If you click the x, or select diagnose and repair, he informs me that all is going well with my computer. If I go to connect to a wireless network, it shows that I'm connected to my network ready. I open one of my browsers and they all work very well, I can access any site without problem. I was not embarrassed with him at the time, but since then I moved into a new House and have a new service and everything, with this motorola modem cable. my new wireless network is a network unsecured, which of course, I want to fix it. I can connect to this network, but I can't access it through Windows properties to make sure. I read the manual of the modem, telling me to connect through an ethernet connection and access configuration manager using the ip address of my router on a browser, but which does not charge or the other. I have other devices (Ipod Touch and PS3) wireless I got other people come computers and they all detect the network but cannot connect to it. Thanks for any help.

• No network adapter is displayed in the network and sharing Center

  My internet connection works very well through a router, but if I go to the network and sharing Center and click on change adapter settings, I get a blank page.
  The adapter appears in Device Manager and it is used by the computer as disabling it kills the internet connection.
  I think that's the reason that I have a network with a red X icon. The ToolTip that appears when the mouse passes over the icon said access to the Internet.
  What would cause the network to do not "see" the adapter, even if it's to use?
  The adapter is a Netgear GA311 gigabit and compatibile with Windows 7.

  Have you installed the drivers of www.netgear.com?
