Network XP and windows 7 - "limited or no connectivity."

My configuration: -.

Two desktop computers: one with Windows 7, the other with Windows XP.

PC W7 has a built-in Ethernet port connected via a modem cable to the internet. It also has a network card connected to the XP pc via a crossover cable.

XP PC has 1 network card and related to W7 as above.

Internet connection sharing is not turned on.

XP pc reports "limited or no functionality" and "repair" reports "Could not be completed because does not have a valid IP configuration".

Solving the problems of W7 also reports "LAN doesn't have a valid IP configuration".

Both computers are in the workgroup 'WORKGROUP '.

LAN network shows that undentified and 'public' location on W7.

QUESTIONS: -.

1. I would get full functionality by manually setting the IP addresses on the LAN?

2 do I need to configure IPv4 and IPv6 addresses?

3. are there any restrictions on the addresses?

4. I assume that as the network and the internet connection on the address conflicts different networks would not arise. Fix?

5. I can't change the connection to the local network at HOME - is it important?

6. article "Networking home computers running different versions of Windows" suggests that a NAT device must be interposed ECCAS cable modem and the pc. Is only relevant when connecting several PC only internet connection?

Advice on these issues would be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

Yes, Windows 7 can share its Internet connection with XP.  I think we can all this work starting with all the settings.  I added a few that we might have missed before and tested the settings on my computers.

On the Windows XP computer, configure these network connection settings manually:

192.168.137.2 = IP address
Subnet mask = 255.255.255.0
Default gateway = 192.168.137.1
Preferred DNS Server = 192.168.137.1

On the Windows 7 computer:

1. disable Internet connection sharing.

2. enable Internet connection sharing on the connection of the cable modem.  If it asks you to select a private network connection, select the connection to the local network.

3. in the properties of the connection to the TCP/IPv4 LAN:

a. set the default gateway to 192.168.137.2

b. click Advanced button , clear the Automatic metric check box, and then enter 999 in the Interface metric box.

    I had to replace/upgrade to update my wifi router after purchase/adding a 'Smart' to my network TV and now have a noise to connect/disconnect running in the background, on something, every few minutes.  It does not affect the operation of my computer, but it is very annoying. Cut the old router market and connect and disconnect before replacement, but did not any noise so I don't think it is related to that.  I can't find any evidence of the old router on the computer anyway.  I hope you can help me!

  • Unable to connect to the internet with the NETWORK card and Windows Millennium Edition.

    Hello

    I turned on my old computer yesterday, who has installed Windows Millennium Edition. At the back of the computer is an Ethernet port which is marked as LIEN ACT. The NIC with this port is Realtek 8139 PCI Fast Internet Adapter. I spend two hours on the Internet configuration and I did and finally got connected, but then, a few hours after, something went wrong and the Internet and the NETWORK card has stopped working! And the card has disappeared from the Device Manager, but he's still showing in network in Control Panel. I opened the computer and I reconnected it to the slot, but it did not help. At the back of the computer next to this port are two LEDs - green indicates the power that lights up when I plug the Internet cable and the other orange indicates actual connection. But now these two LEDs are not indicating something even when I plugged in the cable to the Internet, which comes from my router. In the computer a Dial Up connection PCI is installed too, but I disabled it. I used Dial-Up in 2002. So, I need help.
    But I know that I can connect with this Ethernet card to the Internet because it worked for 3 hours, I've loaded the pages and downloaded programs.
    Please don't point, should I upgrade Windows!
    Thank you.

  • Installed wireless Belkin, unable to see network, get error windows cannot configure this wireless connection and starting the WZC abuse

    Hello

    I have a belkin wireless router that worked on my primary computer and a portable computer for years.

    Recently, I moved my main computer and now it dosnt seem to work. Belkin is installed but when I ask to see available networks, it says that windows cannot configure this wireless connection and starting the WZC abuse. Belkin still works fine on my laptop so I know no there is not a problem here. Can someone help me please? I tried to type in %SystemRoot%\system32\services.mcs\s as with a question of people, but all I get is windows can't find this.

    Any ideas please?

    Thank you

    * original title - Help... problem with belkin wireless *.

    Let's see if I can cut through it.

    You wrote:

    Click the Wireless Networks (see this picture) - I did

    Is the box 'Use Windows to configure my wireless network' checked or unchecked? There is no such box.

    I connect using - he says belkin. another box saying this connection uses the following items. then underneath there are 3 tabs - install, uninstall and properties. If I press on properties it says name provider and in this box, it says windows index.

    It seems that you don't have not clicked the "Wireless networks" tab, after you open the properties of your wireless adapter.  From your description, you look at the 'Général' tab: click HERE to see the "Général" tab Click HERE to see the 'Wireless Networks' tab.

    There are 5 columns: name, description, status, startup type and log as.  The values for the last 3 columns should be started, automatic and Local System - on my screen there are 4 tabs at the top - general, connect you, recovery and dependency.

    You skipped a step... 5 columns are in the 'Services' window initial... you arrive at "4 tabs at the top", AFTER you double-click the Wireless Auto Configuration.

    Status of the service which includes 4 boxes. stop suspend and resume. the button highlighted in the start menu

    Just to the right of the expression "Service status", you should see a Word.  On your system, this word probably is "stopped."  The 4 buttons (boxes) are how to control the service.  Because you said that the highlighted button is 'start' which means that the service is currently stopped, and you will need to click on this button "start" to start.

    I strongly suspect that you had used the Belkin utility to control your adapter - and now, you also started WZC.  As I wrote above, you can have both running at the same time.

    When you click the icon of your "Belkin", do you have a screen that looks like this: http://www.wi-fiplanet.com/img/2006/belkinn1/08.jpg

    If so, you should return to the utility Services and 'Stop' the automatic configuration service.  If you want to use WZC instead of the Belkin utility, see http://en-us-support.belkin.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/40/related/1

    I'm not familiar with the Belkin Wireless networking utility, but many wifi manufacturer utilities can be used to turn your wifi on and off, then maybe your was off (the adapter on your computer - not the router).  If you identify the model of the card you have in your main computer, I'll see if I can find the manual on the Belkin website and maybe give you a little more information.

  • Loss of Internet and Windows features limited after a clean install of Windows 7

    Hi all

    Here's a bit of context. I had an additional Lenovo T410 sitting around, so I tried restoring it to its "factory condition" by a start-up "format". Plan was to boot from the CD drive and reinstall Windows 7 (32 bit) in the process. However, disaster, after the process complete, I'm now stuck in a kind of safe mode (everything is bigger than usual) and the computer is running several pilots. I manually installed the network card driver (can identify networking but cannot connect to the internet). Device Manager still shows device Base system, controller, Ethernet, Serial Port PCI, PCI Simple Communications Controller and unknown to be updated device drivers.

    My goals here are to 1) restore internet connectivity and 2) make all the features of Windows 7 Home Premium.

    Thank you for any input!

    * Virtual H.o.t. If you stuck with me through this whole explanation.

    Lenovo.com connect on another computer, click Help, enter your computer type and download the network drivers for your machine. Then return to the page to download the driver to your computer and download ThinkVantage System Update. Run this and it will update automatically the rest of your hardware drivers (see the post of Zoltan, above).

  • Wireless network disconnects and then take the time to connect again

    Hello

    We have a wireless network, composed of 23 WAP (1700) and WLC 2504. We have three SSID, 2 in vlan 120 and the third in the vlan 121.

    The network takes time to connect to any SSID, and after three or four attempts, it connects and some time connected to less range and a few times at all, even if we are under the WAP.

  • HP Pavilion Notebook 15-p119: Windows 10: since the execution of Windows update, I can't connect to the wireless network

    Hello, HP assistance.

    I'm having a problem with the connection to my home Wi - Fi network. I am sure the problem has nothing to do with my material and is a problem of Windows only.

    Here's the story: I was fortunately with the Internet from the network before and Windows was connecting automatically every time. But since the Windows Update recently it does not connect. Sometimes it says "unable to connect to this network" and then sometimes it comes up with a box asking me to enter a user name and a password. The thing is... I've never set up a password in Windows for Internet access, so I do not know why he was asking me now. I looked around the Internet via my Tablet (which is connected to the same Wi - Fi network fine, with my phone) and found that it is a common problem. And yet, none of the solutions work for me.

    I wonder if the solution is somehow change the settings so that a password is not required to connect to a network. Or maybe enter a default user name and password when the box appears again. That said, the box did not come for a while.

    Help, please!

    Thank you for your query.

    I understand that your mobile phone works well and you didn't have any problems with your wireless connection. After the upgrade to Windows 10, your wireless network is intermittent and will prompt you for a user name and password.

    The guest is not the Internet, but rather to join your network. He is looking for the network name and password.

    When I did a search for HP laptop 15-p119, I was unable to locate this model. Would you please check your model? How can I find my model number or product number?

    After the upgrade to Windows 10 did you all your Windows updates?

    Sometimes it fails to be installed automatically, if you can try running the Troubleshooting of windows update. to maybe gain others.

    You run the HP Support Assistant since the upgrade?

    If the problem persists, once you have established a test of Wi - Fi automatically update drivers Device Manager wireless.

    • Right click on the Windows button in the bottom left corner, then choose Device Manager

    • Click network to expand the list

    • Right click on the wireless adapter and choose put updated driver

    Select "Automatically search for updated driver software" this month may start a download to install a newer driver.

  • Internet connection issues "Limited or no connectivity." and "windows could not find a certificate to log on the network.

    I'm so unable to connect to the internet?

    Hello.

    I'm so unable to connect to the internet.

    Since I've renamed our WiFi network and add a WEP key, I have problems with wireless connection on my
    Windows XP computer desktop, which is a Dell Dimension 4700.

    The questions that I get connection are...

    "windows could not find a certificate to log on the network.

    "Limited or no connectivity."

    I did all the solutions I could try to fix the connection problem!

    1. once I received the message "limited or no connectivity", I click with the right button on the connection and click on repair. It is not always connect for me and I got the "limited or no connectivity message.»

    2. then, I disabled the network connection and then enabled. That no longer works.

    3. I tried to withdraw from the ordered list of connections, and it still doesn't work.

    4. I checked the driver manager, and initially the Ethernet driver was outdated and missing of its pilot. He had a yellow question mark with a black sign and yellow with an exclamation mark inside.

    5. I used DriverZone, downloaded the driver, installed and rebooted the computer after the installation of the it. Apparently, it worked. But I could not always connect.

    6 I have ensured that I entered the correct WEP key, and then adjust the settings correctly. I did it like 10 times in a row and would not always connect.

    7. I tried to go to the command prompt and typed in IP Config/All and that's what I mean.

    Windows IP configuration
    Node type: unknown
    Active IP routing: no
    WINS proxy enabled: no
    ETHERNET connection to the Local network card
    State of the media: Media disconnected
    Description: Intel PRO/100 VE Network Connection
    Ethernet card 2 wireless network connection:
    Suffix the connection-specific DNS: (EMPTY)

    8. after that, I typed the command: ipconfig/release
    and then I got this error...

    No operations can be performed on the connection to the local network, although it has its media disconnected.

    9. after that, I tried Googling for some solutions, and the solutions I found were not any use.
    A solution was

    10. opening of Services...
    Start | Run | Type: services.msc | Click OK |
    Scroll down to and double-click Client DNS | Set to automatic on startup
    type |
    Click apply | Click the Start button | When it starts, click OK
    Do the same for the DHCP Client.
    Do the same for the remote procedure call (RPC).

    and it still doesn't work.

    11. when I look in the menu network connections, I see my connection with a lock on the side, with a red X under the lock and key. In the description, I see not connected, protected by a firewall. How could I remove the internet connection firewall? I disabled the firewall and that did not work.

    12. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the network card and who does not work either.

    It is not the network itself that is the problem.  It is not the modem or the cable. There are no disconnected son or something like that. We have other computers in the House and the internet works fine on other computers. As I said, since I renamed our WiFi network and added a WEP password, I had problems with connecting to my Windows XP computer.

    My computer has updates that must be installed as well. Updates would fix the problem? I just need to have internet.

    What should I do? Thank you for your time.

    Sincerely,

    Justin

    Have you tried to set the value of the link speed/duplex mode? I had the same problem you describe. Your card is only capable of 10/100 communication.
