• Enabling/disabling wireless adapter without administrator rights (Win 7 64 - bit)

  Is there a way to toggle wireless adapter without it as an administrator? Our political laptops where user access is limited and admin password is required to install all the software are submitted. Since the enabling/disabling wireless adapter requires Admin rights, users by default are not able to turn on/off wireless. However, our IT Department has confirmed that their policy has nothing to do with the wireless adapter and it's a setting in Win 7. Is there a solution to this? Thank you.

  There is no control of Windows 7 that will allow a user account Standard toggle the WiFi card.

  A Standard user account is limited to the secondary action of switching on & off WiFi using the F7 / Fn + F5 key or the key it is for the model [a switch is often provided in the dialog box Windows-X as well, "Windows Mobility Center" key].

• Windows 8 sometimes disables wifi adapter

  Hello

  I have a problem with my laptop Windows 8, which is that, sometimes, when I log in, my wifi adapter is disabled. It is a Realtek RTL8723AE wireless adapter. In Device Manager, it is reported that the ' device reported problems "and has thus been disabled. This issue seems to happen randomly, sometimes, it's going to happen, sometimes not, but is annoying, because I have to go to Device Manager to reactivate, and then to modify the settings to enable wifi PC.

  No, updates do not resolve it and system checks show nothing wrong. What could be the cause of the problem?

  Thank you.

• HP ENVY disabled wireless adapter

  I used this link:

  The wireless on my laptop key is orange shiny, but I can't figure out how to make it blue again. I've never used the Wifi on my laptop, at work, school, etc. I've never had a problem until now.

  I also used the trick troubleshooting using Windows 8 where you are looking for and then look in the section airplane mode and now I have airplane Mode and Bluetooth to this article, no Wifi.

  Can someone help please?

  Thank you!!

  It would be useful that you have identified your laptop with its full product name or number and the adapter code manufacturer orr wireless PCI\Ven and model name.

  -See web document this HP if you do not know how to locate the product number or model number.

  You can reinstall the driver for the card through the HP Recovery Manager. The following images were made for previous discussions. Find your adapter wireless among drivers available listed in drivers available from the laptop Recovery Manager packages.

  

  

• How do you completely disable the Adaptive brightness on Windows 8?

  I have a Thinkpad x120e; upgrade to Windows 8 last week and we tried EVERYTHING to get rid of this brightness Adaptive craptastic.

  The screen becomes clearer on a white background and fades slowly on the dark images. I feel like I'm tripping when I read the articles online.

  Yes, I turned the Adaptive brightness (battery and AC options). Yes, I tried each power plan. Yes, I created my own power management, through the Lenovo "power manager" and "Control panel" window. Yes, I optimized the display, I updated the driver for the monitor. I did everything. Even spent an hour chatting with Microsoft technical support (who says essentially nothing is false and restart my laptop). I swear to you that this thing is to go out the window if I have to deal with the darn labile brightness.

  Please help me. Please, please, please and thank you.

  So I don't know anything about your computer... and I don't know if you still have problems.  I had the same problem, my computer would be dim whenever I'd go for a darker picture.  I was getting so frustrated with no solution anywhere.

  Finally, I found the answer for me was to to in the media parameters and an Intel Graphics. Turned on, there is a setting for a battery.  Which has been set to display Power Saving Technology.  I just décliqués who and now my computer decreases more.
  It's amazing all the places on the Windows that controls a power and a brightness adjustment.  I found this after days and days of research.

• Two virtual machines share the same physical network adapter

  I have a virtual network adapter that I linked to a physical network adapter on my box where two virtual machines are running.

  I assigned two virtual machines to this vmnet adapter.

  On one I can ping other machines of physics on the same subnet as the physical computer, but the other VM can ping only other virtual machines.

  When I try to ping from one physical computer to this virtual machine I get the error message windows "ping transmission has failed. General failure. ».

  Is what I'm trying to are not not possible?

  First thing to do is to ensure the automatic bypass is enabled disabled in the VMnet virtual network editor your use to the bridge to.

  Second need to see the output of ipconfig/all on the Windows host and guests and or ifconfig on the Linux host and or guests.

  DO NOT copy and paste the output directly in the body of the response rather redirect the output of the commands in a text file and then archive (compress) files in a single zip archive and attach it to an answer.

  You can use the following example:

  Under Windows:

  ipconfig/all > "% USERPROFILE%\Desktop\host_ipconfig.txt".

  ipconfig/all > "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\guest (n) _ipconfig.txt".

  Linux:

  ifconfig > ~/Desktop/host_ipconfig.txt

  ifconfig > ~/Desktop/guest (n) _ipconfig.txt

  Also include in the archive .zip .vmx and vmware*.log for two Virtual Machines configuration files.

• Specify a physical NETWORK adapter to a virtual machine

  It is a fundamental issue, or it was in VMware Server 1.x, but in v2.x options may not be available.  Here's what I do:

  I have a physical host with 3 different network interface cards installed. I want to configure the vNIC on each of my 2 mV at one of the physical network cards, so they each have their own. In VMware server 1.x I would install a vmnet # for each NETWORK adapter and then configure each virtual computer to use one of the new vmnet I set everything up. VMware Server 2, I can still set up since both vnet (one for each NETWORK card), but when I go to change settings of NETWORK adapter in the virtual machine, I have three options (Bridged, host-only and NAT). Two of these two new vnets are "bridge", but I need to specify a fo the vnet jumpered for each.

  I know I must be missing something very simple, do not hesitate to point out my mistake. Thank you!

  What is your host operating system? If Windows, run the virtual network Editor (vmnetcfg.exe) announces the administrator, disable the automatic bypass and map each physical NIC to another VMNet adapter * in the tab "virtual host network address." If Linux, run /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl (it will take your virtual machines off / suspension) and choose to create more than one Bridged network when you are prompted, choosing different logical names and specitying eth0, eth1, eth2 or whatever they are called.

  Then in the virtual machine, they must appear in the drop-down list for the card that you have.

• T530 Windows 8, cannot turn Adaptive dimming off

  I went thorugh these forums, but it seems that none of the solutions work on my T530 about try to disable adaptive dimming off the coast. I defined the characteristics of graphics power Intel to the 'sector' and the 'Maximum Performance' settings, then I also disabled the Adaptive gradation in Windows 8 settings (made even a new profile where I put on the maximum brightness in the settings and turned off at the gradation Adaptive.) power. Nothing helps. Whenever I pass a program with the darker background, for example Spotify, the occultation happens, switch back and it will brighten up the screen. It's makes me completely crazy.

  Is it maybe a problem with the drivers of Windows 8? Any ideas what to try next?

  Never mind. It seemed that the new parameters of entry into force until after a reboot.

• New XPS 13 cannot turn off Adaptive brightness

  I can't turn off Adaptive brightness on the i5 HD 5500 1080 p on new XPS 13 version.

  Once I consult a dark page, the screen turns off, and when I discover a brilliant page, the screen will get brighter. It's extremely embarrassing, and all the options I've tried have not fixed this issue.

  

  Disabling the option of Adaptive brightness to activate in the advanced power settings does nothing. I have on all levels of electrical energy.

  

  There is no option to turn off what should be in the Intel Graphics Driver.

  

  Disabling the sensor monitoring Service doesn't fix or the other.

  I have the latest version of the Intel graphics drivers. Uninstall, it doesn't fix or the other.

  Install another operating system doesn't fix either, so I guess that it is some kind of hardware problem.

  Does anyone have a solution to this annoying problem?

  To be clear, there is no solution to this problem. No amount of software configuration will fix it. Dell engineers have confirmed that this behavior is controlled by the firmware of the screen.

  Last I heard, Dell is working to expose a switch in the BIOS that would disable the Adaptive function contrasts, although they would not give an ETA on when the BIOS update would be available. (source)

• Wireless stop working... Adapter not appearing not

  I have a Dell Inspiron 15 3542, which had an integrated Dell wireless adapter. At approximately 20:30, Sunday 30 November, my screen went crazy. I had to unplug the AC adapter and remove the battery to restart the computer. Since then, the wireless card is not like a NIC anywhere... as if he was not just any what wireless card installed in the computer. The only projected network connection is the Ethernet connection, for which I have no Ethernet cable to connect the laptop on the Web site to run the online diagnostic tool. The laptop is a loan from ITT Technical Institute, until I receive 36 hours of credit, date at which the property will be transferred to me.

  Got to work, had to disable the adapter, then re-enable it and restart the computer. Thank you for the trouble.

• Bluetooth icon tray disappears after turning off the USB bluetooth adapter in the system tray

  You seem to have a problem with your bluetooth icon. If you cannot match something you can try to remove the device and then put it back. I tried it didn't work. Then, you may need to disable bluetooth adapter on the icon. But if you do that you cannot turn it back on because the bluetooth icon status bar disappears when the adapter is disabled. Also it does not appear in "peripheral" that the adapter is turned off. You must go to the C:\Program WIDCOMM software and double-click BTTray.exe to redisplay the icon, and then turn on the adapter. Come on Microsoft, surely it would be easier to just gray exit icon at its stop, then your right click the greyed to activate the adapter turn it back on. Simple really.

• VMWare Workstation &amp; adapter VMNet1 VMNet8

  I am a newbie to vmware workstation. I have been using VirtualBox for awhile. I noticed after installing vmware, it installs 2 virtual cards: VMWare VMNet1 and VMNet8. I use Windows 7 64-bit. After the reboot, my network card takes about 5 minutes to initialize. I can't get on the internet for a while until that my main support initializes. Should I really have two adapters? I noticed that if I turn them off, I can speed up my DNS. I have 3 virtual cards on my box: adapter for my VirtualBox, VMWare VMNet1 and VMNet8 VMWare. I'm only using VMWare for educational purposes and check how stable it is with Windows 7 64 bit. All ideas are welcome. I want to disable 1 adapter, but anyone advise.

  Windows 7 as a HOST is not supported up to what VMware Workstation 7. With the help of the previous version is extremely discouraged. Compatibility is clearly listed on the VMware compatibility guide when you look at the guest/OS section and search for Windows 7. While you can run Windows 7 as a GUEST in WS 6.5.3 does not allow it as a host up to version 7 or later.

  I have VMware Workstation 7 installed (7.1 now) under Windows 7 x 64 and the host operating system not impact at all during the boot process. Network connections are available immediately. I'm only running a Dell Precision Workstation 490 with dual quad core Xeon s to 2.33 GHz (E5345), 16 GB of RAM, 3 disks Seagate Barracuda SATA 750 GB in RAID 0 array rote. I use the onboard Broadcom Gb NIC, as well as a single port Broadcom Gb NIC as well. I have a real DC on my network, so I'm not according to my router to complete any task DNS/DHCP.

• Several physical network cards in WS8

  Hello!

  I have two physical NICs in my host with two different VLANS. I would like to connect a virtual machine to the first NETWORK card and an another VM the second network card.

  Is it possible?, I can choose "Bridged: directly connected to the physical network ', but how do I know which physical network?

  
  Bartoooo

  Hi Bartoooo welcome to communities,

  It is possible using the virtual network Editor. You must disable the automatic bypass and specify which physical NETWORK card to fill what VMNET adapter.

  This kb shows the use of the network virtual editor-in-Chief:
