New to connect computers to networks...

I don't know what to do to connect my computers in a network at home but don't know what to do. Can someone help me?

Details:

Host: Windows XP SP2, DSL router, ethernet connection with desktop computer

Other computers: 2 laptops with wireless and ethernet, Windows XP Home Edition connectivity, prefer to use the wireless network

Connect each computer to the wireless router, using a wired or wireless connection.

Run the Network Setup Wizard (in Start > all programs > Accessories > Communications ) on each computer.  If the wizard detects the Internet connection shared the router bit, tell him to use it.  If this isn't the case, indicate the wizard the computer connects to the internet through a residential gateway.  Open file and printer sharing.

  • I have problems to connect to my network wireless computers in my house running XP Pro.

    Hello. I have problems to connect to my network wireless computers in my house running XP Pro. I set up my wireless router to use WPA - PSK encryption. When I type in the passphrase on computers running XP in my house, I get an error message indicating that the password must be 5 to 13 ASCII characters or 10 to 26 characters in hexadecimal. It doesn't even seem like it checks the password. The error immediately.

    I tried to connect to the network using my work running Windows 7 laptop and it works fine. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    original title: cannot connect wireless

    Go, I tried and it worked was that you have to be sure what parameters you have set when you set the security of your are wireless (for example the Type of security, Encryption Type etc.) and they have to be compatible with the version of your laptop.
    Older versions usually have 64bitWEP or WEP 128 bit and newer versions have WPA, WPA2-Personal (PSK).

    The 64-bit and 128-bit require 5 or 13 characters. These characters can be obtained when you configure the wireless (it will ask you to put the characters and the characters will be automatically converted to hexadecimal characters, which it must be remembered that they are the password wireless).

    WPA or WPA2 - Personal (PSK) are easier to implement and the passwords are normal characters that you want it to be.

    Then go to your security wireless set up the page and re - configure the password or the type of network and it should help

  • My computer guard give up a connection to the network but the other computers in the House are connected

    My computer said at the outset that it is correctly connected to the network but then immediately lose the connection. Sometimes it will say that I limited the connection, but the strength of the network is always excellent. Computers are my roommates are working properly. Initially, he says that TataraTmp is the network of choice. I tried to delete this network that I am still unable to connect.

    Hello

    I guess that it is a wireless computer.
    ------------------------------------

    Maybe this can help.

    Assuming that the signal is strong, and that there is no noise in the electrical environment (http://www.ezlan.net/wbars.html ).

    Uncheck the box to the NIC of energy economy (I.e., do not leave the card save energy).

    There may be some variations on where is the energy saving setting.

    Here are a few examples, YMMV, look around your systems.

    In Device Manager, right-click on the adapter.

    Click Update drivers and choose her browse my computer for drivers.

  • Windows 8 "not connected to the network" but it is, shows computers and can connect to the internet. How can I fix it

    I used the Windows 8 Pro Upgrade on a Windoxs XP pro installation.  Everything works except that the network and sharing Center indicates that the computer is not connected to a network, but it is.  I can files in front on other computers on the network (at home) and I can access the internet.  The active profile is public, although it should be private. I created this to access the homegroup during installation.

    I'm trying to get a first HD Homerun operation and if Media Center does not have any network, he sees no tuner either.

    What can I do to get this working properly.

    a. no red X

    1. I tried to download a different driver, but it didn't work at all so cancelled.  To check if it was a pilot, I bought a usb wireless adapter.  I've disabled the ethernet connection and used the wireless connection.  The results are the same regardless of which connection I use.

    2. ran every convenience store without success

    3. services were what they were supposed to be

    4 safe mode is worse.  No network connection (cannot see other computers in all), although internet is accessible

    5 start gives the same results. "You are not connected to a network" yet the computers on the network are visible and accessible top records.  Internet is available.

    I installed the software very little on this computer (just installed Win 8 last week.)

    The only installed software is software HP Officejet L7680, Brother HL5250DN & first Silicon Dust HD Homerun software driver. I'm trying to set up basically as a DVR, so very little will be on it.

    The only thing I can think is that I started with the installation of XP has been implemented using a VPN to connect to our network at work. This means that the computer should be part of the field it. Is it possible victory 8 retrieves these settings and now here's what's causing my problems? (I think that very few came from an installation of XP, but I noticed that some parameters met).

    I plan to start again and re-installed Win 8 a last ditch effort... If you can offer any suggestions on repairing this conditioin, please provide me with the best way to re - install Win 8 as a clean install (without the things I installed). I'll then make sure that the network is working correctly before installing anything.

    *************************************************************************************************************

    A follow-up for this reading. My problem was apparently caused by the upgrade of XP and usinging Dungeon files and SETTINGS. Although there are very limited items brought back an installation of XP, something is buried somewhere off network connections.

    To solve this problem, Windows 8 has a new feature called reset. This essentially Setup all over again if you choose the option to delete files. You must enter the product key again when you do this. This is a clean install.  I had to update the graphics card drivers, add Media Center back, install HD Homerun Prime, run the Advisor of cable, making the TV configuration and finally got it works as I had expected.

  • MacBook Pro connects to the network, but other computers will be

    As of today, my Macbook Pro (approx. 5-6 years running Yosemite) has had problems to connect to my network, even if the other computers connect very well.

    On the menu bar, it shows that I am connected with a signal strong.

    My only guess is that the hardware is obsolete?

    Thanks to anyone who can offer help.

    What happens if you disable wifi then on again? Have you tried to delete the WiFi network preferences and put it back? What kind of messages if none pull you.

  • I can not connect computer vista laptop to my network home, but I can connect to other networks. Other computers can connect to my home network very well. This can be corrected?

    My laptop runs Vista and I've not had problems connecting to my home network wireless until a week ago or not.  Then, trying to connect, I see other available networks, but not my own.  When I try to connect manually, it says that the network already exists.  Other computers, macbooks, are able to connect to my home network without problem.  I am able to connect to a network on my laptop fine unsecured wireless.

    I could 'solve' the problem or get reconnected with a restoration of the system to an earlier date, but it only lasts a day or two.  I searched for another fix and tried many things, including to reset the router, remove my network, and then reinstall, etc, but can't seem to get this to work as if it were - automatic connection as the first network.

    Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

    You have rebooted the router and the pc at the same time?

    You run the IPCONFIG / all from a cmd prompt can and download a preview of the output to a file share services like rapidshare and put a link to it in your next post?

  • New just installed Windows Vista, unable to connect to wireless networks

    So a few months ago my laptop (HP Pavilion dv6) fell from my bed and the hard drive was messed up, so I'm a computer geek friend to replace my hard drive and put a new operating system on it, he had no activation key. In any case, after I came back it was working fine and I was able to use the internet by connecting to public networks, but every time I would connect to my computer it asked me to activate it. And finally I got so bored with being bugged that I decided to buy a new product key, so that he'd stop bugging me. So I bought a new Windows Vista Home premium operating system and when I received it in the mail, I installed correctly and put in the product key and active it and all that much good but whenever I try to connect to the internet that it says "Windows cannot find wireless networks" and when I click on "Diagnose this problem" he says "this computer does not have an install_ adapter of» configured wireless network. and then it gives me options troubleshooting that brings me at all because most of them consist in some way to update my drivers online, but I can't online my laptop to update! and all the other solutions are just confused. Is there a reason why my "driver" would stop working AFTER you install Windows Vista? Or is there some way I can uninstall the operating system and just use the one I had before? Help please!

    Go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/laptop > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for the latest Vista drivers > download/install them.

    The computer you are using now if you have an Internet connection with the other > download / save drivers > copy them into Flash Drive > transfer / install on another computer/laptop.

    See you soon.

    I have a Windows 7, with other Vista and XP computers on a network.  I use MSHOME as the doman. I have disabled the firewall, I disabled Ipv6 on Windows 7 computer.  I use no password on the network.  I have to restart my Windows 7 computer several times a day because regularly it will block other computers and network equipment.  I reboot will allow everyone a new access for a couple of hours, then boom, no one can get to me.  Are there reasons that this could happen?

    The question you posted would be better suited in the TechNet Forums. I would recommend posting your query in the Forums of Windows 7 networking.

  • E-all-in-one printer, HP Photosmart 5520 connected to the network but not detected by computers

    Hello!

    My printer HP 5520 indicates that it is connected to my network, but the wireless printing does not work correctly.

    In the implementation of the process of the driver software the printer displayed after resetting my router, a Huawei HG655d. I get a "no connection" error when I try to send a print job to the printer. Function AirPrint doen and the printer is not visible on the iDevices. I have the latest version of my OS (OS X 10.8.3) installed, I also tried to reset and reinstall my router and my printer several times but nothing works.

    Is there a way to make printing wireless correctly?

    Access my printer directly via its IP address works, so the network connection should work. I've added details of the network below:

    Your router may not support Hello, who need your Mac to find the printer.  Enter the configuration of the router and see if there is a way to activate it.  It is sometimes called mDNS.

    Additionally, make sure that the multicast is enabled.

    Hello!

    What section of the Knowledge Base do you mean?

    However, try to update the driver. You can find it on the Toshiba site:

    Sometimes, I read in the forum that a BIOS solve the problem too.

    Additionally, make sure that the wireless is turned on with the power button on the computer laptop and FN + F8.

  • I am not able to connect to the main wifi network but can connect to the network of comments.

    Hello

    This is something new, I am facing to where I am not able to connect to a main network of airport extreme, but can connect to the network of comments. Guest network works perfectly fine while the main network does not connect to devices in the home. I also found that none of my base stations are visible in the airport utility (I Airpot extreme and Airport Express on the same network). Help, please.

    The first step in troubleshooting with this type of problem is to perform a complete network power cycle on your network. If you decide to do...

    Power off all the devices on your network... modem, routers, computers, printers, etc... in any order you want.

    Wait a minute

    Turn on the modem first and leave a few minutes, he managed by itself

    Turn on the next device that is connected to a modem and leaves turn a good minute

    Keep turn on devices one by one at a time, one minute apart, until the entire network is back

    Recheck the network and report on your results

  • HP ENVY 15-k163cl: HP ENVY 15 updated to Windows 10, now unable to connect to the network

    I've recently updated to Windows 10 with my laptop (from Windows 8) and remember, Windows 8 was working fine but now that I've updated for Windows 10, I can't connect to my home network.

    When I turn on my laptop, it is not automatically connect to my network and when I try to connect from the network settings, I get an error "Could not connect to this network" and I have to wait at least 30 minutes before it automatically logs. After waiting that it works, but my laptop goes to sleep or goes inactive for awhile, it disconnects again and I have to wait

    I connected via hotspot and it worked fine, but all of my other computers laptops HP connects very well and they are 10 Windows as well. Only this laptop is upward, so I guess it's a problem with a new driver.

    Hello:

    The only suggestion I can offer would be to install the latest driver for the Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160 adapter - 802.11 and see if that helps any.

    The 2nd driver on the list is W10 x 64.
