Private home networking issues

• Sudden home networking issues

  Product name: Macbook Pro 13 inch Retina early 2015.

  OS (when the problem started): Yosemite 10.10.5

  OS (now): El Capitan 10.11.5

  The problem

  So yesterday my Mac Wifi connection dropped suddenly. So, I moved to lightning Ethernet connection which has varied between does not and VERY slow, almost unusable. I work from home online, so the last 2 days I was not able to do anything.

  I can connect to Wifi, Mac said Internet: accessible. I can ping. But can not browse and other tools such as Google Drive and Dropbox are unable to connect.

  So far, this would indicate a problem with my network or my router, rather than my right to the machine? However, my Android phone works fine with Wifi.

  Things I've tried:

  I've been on Yosemite 10.10.5. I followed all the troubleshooting steps basis and the following:

  • Reset my SMC.
  • Reset my PRAM.
  • I turned off the Bluetooth.
  • I deleted the files in Network preferences to reset a reboot.
  • I "forgot" my home network to reset it like that.
  • Running reports "wireless diagnosis" everything is "as planned."
  • Attach to the Wireless on my Android Nexus 5 X hotspot. Connects to the Wifi but not Internet after 10 seconds. Sometimes not at all.

  Then, I took a backup and upgrade to El Capitan. The strange thing is, about an hour after the upgrade, my ethernet cable was working fine again! About 14:00 yesterday at 09:00 today when I turned on it to start working.

  NOTE: I connect to the network fine, and Google Drive and Dropbox plugins start synchronization. Full report 'sync', then, after about 10 seconds, they say "unable to connect". Holding "option/alt" and clicking on the Wifi symbol in the toolbar says "Internet: accessible. Indeed, I can 'ping' very well. There is no loss of data packets. So could it be a software on my machine which has suddenly become crazy and prevents connections other than the pings? I have run Avast Anti-virus, but which has worked for months and is running as I type this. Similar posts often get answers their questions about firewalls and proxies that might cause the problem. I only have Avast.

  Affirmations:

  If it was a problem with my router, my phone would not have a problem too?

  If it's a problem with my Mac, why would Internet suddenly started working again after a while?

  I write this in a coffee shop, using their Wifi and it works fine. I don't have whatever it is off on my machine. Yet once, which suggests a problem with my network rather than the phone.

  Is this something that could be fixed to an Apple Store? As I suspected, it works very well to the coffee then probably it would work fine in the Apple store and they don't know what to do.

  I thought only try you geniuses first!

  Thanks in advance.

  It is very difficult to debug an Internet without Internet problem.

  First of all uninstall AVAST from the system. then open system preferences > network > enter your network > what is place please do as automatic. What, the other DNS settings, preferred networks etc please post.

• Home networking issues

  OK, here's the problem. I networked my 3 computers together; 1 home, 1 vista home, 1 7 home xp. The XP tells me in my network places connections and 2 other computers through the internet. It has 2 categories showing the local network and internet. Why is that happening and how can I solve this problem? My vista and 7 computers show that a single network.

  Here are the steps of general network troubleshooting. Just cannot apply to your situation, so just take the bits that are. It may seem daunting, but if you follow the steps in the links and suggestions below calmly and consistently, you will have no difficulty to implement your sharing.

  Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused by 1) a misconfigured firewall or a firewall neglected (including a dynamic firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently run two firewalls such as the firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall. and/or (3) do not have accounts to the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup. (4) tries to create actions where the operating system does not.

  In Windows 7 and Vista, set the Type of network to 'Private', not 'Public '.

  In Vista, turn on password protected sharing. In Windows 7, go to control panel > everything in Control Panel > network and sharing Center. Click on "change the advanced sharing settings. You don't want to use the residential group unless you have all Windows 7 machines. In sharing advanced:

  Discovery of plug in the network
  Open the files and printers sharing
  Turn on the sharing section Public folder sharing
  Plug the password protected sharing

  A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, turning on window file sharing and printer as the above will take care of that for you. In XP, you can run the Network Setup Wizard or just enable file sharing / print in the Windows XP firewall exceptions. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus/security with its own firewall component program, then you're fine.  With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Refer to the safety of any third party program or the user forums for how to correctly configure its firewall. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

  (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This is done from the System applet in Control Panel, the computer name tab.

  C. create the counterpart of the user accounts and passwords on all machines. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to boot directly to the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you can do this:

  (Vista and Windows 7) Start > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
  Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

  Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

  XP - set up Windows to automatically connect (MVP Ramesh) -http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Autologon.htm

  D. Si one or more of the computers on your network are XP Pro or Media Center, turn off Simple file sharing (Folder Options > view tab).

  E. create share as you wish. XP Home does not share the users directory or the Program Files, but you can share folders inside those directories. A better choice is to simply use the Shared Documents folder. In Vista and Windows 7 I usually shares its office and the Public directory.

• Home Networking issue - Apple Extreme + 2 airports of Apple

  I was wondering if there was nothing to do with my current setup or if I expanded my efforts wireless...

  This is the current situation. Internet broadband from Time Warner. I've reconfigured the Arris modem to act as the router and set up my Airport Extreme as the modem. Cable broadband wired in Arris - ethernet in Airport Extreme. Running Mac OS on everything.

  Airport Extreme radio 2.4 ghz to Airport Express in a room in the corridor (defined on the extension of the network). (All THE LATEST MODELS of AIRPORT EXTREME & EXPRESS)

  2nd Airport express in the bedroom (network extension) - Apple TV connected to wireless.

  It would be a bit of a pain to wire all of the way in which the provision is. I live in an apartment in Brooklyn, so there is a lot of interference. I configured everything for the best channels possible & DNS settings.

  In the living room, I have to get + 115 MB/s - and barely sufficient in the bedroom to disseminate the Apple TV. Some days are better than others, but I would really like to try for more consistency.

  I guess my question is I've done everything I can do to maximize the speed (without wiring or have internet installed in the back-end of the apartment).

  Is there anything else I can do?  Here is a picture of the configuration. Thank you.

  

  Assuming that the diagram on the left is about geometrically exact, the AirPort Express to the show probably is not much other than contributing to wireless interference which is almost certainly make life miserable for you. AirPort Express 2 has to communicate wirelessly with AirPort Extreme, as shown in the diagram of the AirPort Utility, but it is still further than what is Airport Express 1. Apple TV can connect to, or not, but its location relative to the extreme, is a reliable streaming challenge.

  Try moving 1 Express airport closest to the extreme, or position the extreme in a more central location. Ideally, the extreme should be in 1 room and 1 Express should be in the living room, creating a network topology more closely to what is stated in the form of AirPort Utility.

  Since you will need a cable between it and the modem which does essentially the same thing as the extreme and Express 1 with Ethernet cable anyway, and it's the only solution, you are likely to find acceptable. A network 'Wireless' is always a study of compromise. Video streaming is gourmet in-band bandwidth and intolerant to the interference. As much as you don't want to install one, a cable network is the solution to this problem.

  I configured everything to the best possible channels .

  Leave them all on "automatic". Try to manually force selection of the channel to be relatively "quiet" ones is a futile exercise because everybody does the same thing. "Automatic" frequency agility allows the specified channel to become unusable.

• Sharing files on home network - Vista Home Premium 32 and 64

  Hello people,

  I searched for hours, I made countless different steps to try to understand this point, and yet I'm still far away.
  I have two computers on my home network.
  -Machine 1 is Vista Home Premium 32-bit and is connected via a wired connection to my NetGear router.
  -Machine 2 is Vista Home Premium 64-bit and is connected via a Wireless connection to my NetGear router.
  I have a WD WorldBook connected to the Machine 1 via USB and I would like to be able to access it through my home network on Machine 2.
  Here are my settings that may be useful to know.
  Machine 1:
  -Cable
  -Network: NotURInterwebs (private network)
  -Working Group: DISCOVERY
  -The discovery of the network: WE
  -File sharing: WE
  -Public folder sharing: OFF
  -Printer sharing: OFF
  -Password protected sharing: WE
  -Media Sharing: OFF
  Machine 2:
  -Wireless
  -Network: NotURInterwebs (private network)
  -Working Group: DISCOVERY
  -The discovery of the network: WE

  -File sharing: WE

  -Public folder sharing: OFF

  -Printer sharing: OFF

  -Password protected sharing: WE

  -Media Sharing: OFF
  If I go into start-> network on the Machine 2 I see the other computer and the router, but when I click on the Machine 1 I get the following text:
  Windows cannot access \\Machine#
  Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise, there could be a problem with your network. In an attempt to identify and solve network problems, click on diagnose.
  Error code: 0 x 80070035
  The network path was not found.
  However, when I go to start-> network on computer 1 and click on Machine 2, I have no problem connecting.
  Does anyone have an ideas that could help me understand what is happening?
  Thank you!

  Hello

  Thanks for the detailed information.

  We need additional information to help you with the problem, please answer the following.

  What antivirus application do you use?

  I suggest to change firewall security settings, or disable the security software on the system and try to access the location.

  Method 1:

  Disable the firewall on the Machine 1 and check the status of the issue.

  Enable or disable Windows Firewall

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off

  Note: You should not turn off Windows Firewall unless you have another firewall is enabled. Turning off Windows Firewall may make your computer (and your network, if you have one) more vulnerable to damage caused by worms or hackers.

  Note: In addition to a firewall, you must also be an antivirus and anti-malware program to help protect your computer. Install Microsoft Security Essentials or another antivirus and anti-malware program and update it. Many of these programs update automatically.

  Method 2:
  Error code 0 x 80070035 indicates that the network path was not found. This problem occurs if the NetBIOS over TCP IP is not enabled in Windows Vista. Please follow the steps below.

  (a) click on «Start», enter "NCPA. CPL"(without the quotes) and press ENTER.

  (b) right click on the connection you use for the local connection, and then click "Properties".

  (c) click on the button continue to check the permission of the administrator.

  (d) click to select 'Protocol Internet Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)' and then click 'properties '.

  (e) click on the button "Advanced" in the opened window. On the "WINS" tab, select 'Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP' and then click 'OK' to save the setting.

  The following article presents NetBIOS over TCP/IP.

• Vista/XP Home network problems

  I created home network a few weeks ago.  I have a desktop computer THAT XP (old) with a local cable/network connected to a router for my laptop Vista wireless.  While I can get on the Internet and connectivity shows very well, Web pages are slow to load on both machines and I'm unable to download mail from my ISP to my laptop unless I have first download it on the XP desktop.  This problem exists since the network was created.  It is a private network and I tried the two disabiling and allowing the network discovery and sharing in network and sharing Center.  WHY I can't download my mail on my laptop and why are computers so painfully slow now?

  Hi Artistaplm,

• Can't view the YouTube video because there is an active filter. It happens on the job and home networks and only on Firefox (15.0.1).

  After update 15.0.1 Firefox and Adobe Flash Player to 11.4, I was unable to view the media from YouTube. I was given a message: "this video is not available with the filter of education allowed.» To view this video, site network administrator will have to add to a playlist. I work for a school district and use my laptop at work so I thought that I got this message because YouTube is blocked on this network. But when I got home, I got the same message on my home network with YouTube videos. I have reset Firefox and he took care of the issue until I'm at work, and the problem happened again with the same message everywhere... I tried to post the same videos on another browser (Safari) and it works beautifully. I'm afraid that if I reset Firefox even once, I'm having the same problem.

  It is possible that YouTube set a cookie to filter which can still be seen when you connect at home. To clear cookies for youtube.com, you can use one of these:

  (1) 'dialog show Cookies' tab in Preferences/Privacy:

  Firefox > Preferences > privacy > 'view the Cookies '.

  Type yout in the search box at the top to filter the list and remove each cookie individually.

  (2) "view Cookies dialog box" in the Page Info/Security tab:

  While displaying a page on the site-

  Tools > Page Info > Security > 'view the Cookies '.

  -remove each cookie individually.

  Then, try to reload the page and see if Youtube behaves differently.

• Satellite 650 d - WiFi drags on the home network

  I have a Satellite 650 d Windows 7 64-bit on a home network - there are two other (non-Toshiba) computers on the home network as well (both run W7 - 64-bit, 32-bit)

  Last week, when I turn on the Toshiba WiFi, it will drag down the overall speed the network about 10 MB less than 2 MB on download - and 2 MB less than 0.2 MB download. When I turn off the WiFi on the Toshiba, the network takes right to the top.

  I wonder if anyone has experienced this problem - and if so, what are some of the problems potential I should look for to try to solve it?

  I already tried updating drivers wireless on Toshiba site - with no difficulty on this end... so looking for other opportunities to meditate

  Hi crazyhorse_1,

  What laptop Satellite you have exactly? Is it Satellite C650D, L650D or what exactly?

  As you can see here in the forum issues wireless are hundreds of discussions on the problems of WIFI and I believe that you can find an answer in the other threads. I did a search of the forum and found some interesting discussions like these ones:

• Persistent problems with wireless home network

  Hi, the problem started two weeks or more ago, when after the connection to the internet easily using our wireless network connection, my computer began to say that our domestic network was unidentified, then studied by troubleshooting my self but do not really understand the information the computer indicated to me. As it was a problem of the internet I contacted our local provider broadband, they looked like the line and the service was absolutely perfect and to confirm this router computer of my father in the same cable network has internet connection easily as it was my mom who was using the connection via the same router wireless cell phone.
  Following the instructions of technitians I have tried to manually enter internet addresses to see if that would help the internet connection, it did. So I thought that the problem has been resolved. I had the use of the internet that day and everything was fine until I restarted the next morning. The problem reappeared. So I called my internet provider again, this time I'm sorry to say to a girl rather too quickly diagnosed that I had a virus to uninstall Google chrome and reinstall a different browser... That didn't make sense to me, but I tried some sort.  So I moved my office tower and all the bits in one place in the House were we could conect it to the router with an ethernet cable followed his instructions then moved the computer to its original position but still no internet connection and still this problem 'identification '. I turned off the machine and tried again the next day. Start by running the troubleshooting of network problems, this time I looked at the detailed report which curiously stated that the computer had difficulty oscillating between two somethings (sorry don't remember the detail correctly is days ago)
  So I called my internet provider again and I am a helpful young man, read him the information and examined the reports that they had written about the problem in the days preceding. I followed his instructions looked in the network sharing Center, settings changed and added in manual codes for the internet, turn off the router for 10 seconds or more and then restarted, this time with not even a temporary success. We tried a few things but I always got the same contradictory message in the dialog box in the lower right corner, where it showed I was connected to the local network not connected to the internet, when I opened the network sharing Center from the local network to the router would show that 'Identification' and the conection to the internet would be marked with a cross. I managed to pass my network profile is for some reason any defined to the public rather that home and we were able to change it (even if it wasn't easy)
  So I was told it was probably a driver issue, I was told I might need check the updates of my license on this operation the technitian and I also saw the site of netgear, that there was a potential conflict between Kaspersky and the netgear driver, so I need to uninstall my Kaspersky anti-virus stuff and the old pilot , down load and install the new drivers and then reinstall kaspersky. I followed it. (Movement of the tower and all the bits in place in the House were the ethernet cable was available).  I found an updated driver, uninstalled downloaded kaspersky and run only the driver installed Kaspersky again. Everything seemed to go well and I even plugged in the wireless adapter connected to the internet through that and disconnected the cable... things were going well.
  So I turned off the machine and carried over into my room where I turned on once again. The problem reoccured. I thought it was time to communicate with kaspersky. So I turned the computer off and reduced to the ethernet cable. Connected a Kaspersky contacted by e-mail, they were quick and I was asked to run a program that logeed my information system. I did this and I told them I thought it might be a conflict between the driver and their softwear, they have looked into it, asking me to run a misuse of this program and the results by e-mail. Once again, I've followed the instructions and took notes, but no problem was found. They showed me how to configure my kaspersky firewall to allow access to the networks. It's when I was doing that I noticed that the computer had five ads of our home network, so I put all the profiles of their trust, apply changes and tested to see if it would work. On the wireless internet in the office where the ethernet cable and a router are by train, it's good, it works. I connected the wireless network and disonnect the ethernet then on the internet and there is no break in service. But if I shut down the computer and set up in my room at 12 meters, it won't work with signal strong (4 / 5 bars are green).

  This morning I watched the windows firewall settings and changed some of them to see if that makes a difference. but none.

  I'm trying hard to think about this problem but I'm getting nowhere fast, I know just enough. I just tried pluging in the wireless network adapter again, but there is no wireless network connection now and no internet connection:

  After having tried downlaoding a new driver and this has not fixed the problem after having only tested the wireless signal is strong enough for good internet connection to my mother's computer in my room, I'm stuck. I looked on the netgear site and follow their advice, but it's really a night Mare!
  I also noticed that somehow, we put in place five versions of our home network, I wonder if there is some confusion computer... I looked into the idea of the removal of the networks, and it seems that you can not do. I am trying to back up my files, uninstall everything and re - build my computer from scratch. If there is something else I should try before taking this message please drastic measures me ASAP.

• Networking of this computer in my home network from the desktop.

  I got the new laptop and it won't let me connect to the network. He calls it a homegroup instead, and I have already put homenetwork in place with my other computer. I need to connect this computer to the network, so that I can use the printer which is connected to the desktop computer and also use files on my desk.

  Hello

  There are homegroup that is unique to Win 7 and home network that is on all Windows OS.

  -------------------------------------

  It is history.

  Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

  Homegroup = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

  Network of home or work = fundamentally similar (and better) to the previous methods of the Working Group sharing which allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.
  
  Public share = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

  Please Note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic.

  If you end up with the 3rd party software uninstalled or disabled, make sure that Windows native firewall is active .

• Connection problems XP machine to the rest of the home network

  I have a home network with a Vista machine configuration, a NAS and a XP computer. The Vista PC is able to read and write on the NAS and sees the XP computer. PC XP have internet access but can only see the SIN as uPnP and cannot read or write on the NAS and does not see the Vista machine or WORKING Group also. Both computers have the McAffee protection and 'trust' between them.

  What I've done wrong? Can someone please help?

  Everyone is an account, that means a group of all users who already have an account now as users. It is available to avoid the need to configure permission for each on its own, it does not mean all those who feel that they would like to connect.

  Hi Vanchoch,

  Please visit the following link for instructions on how to connect a Windows XP-based computer to a wireless network:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/setup/wireless.mspx#4
  With regard to the abandonment of the connection, I highly recommend download the latest drivers for your wireless network card. If you can get me the model number and the company that makes it, I can normally provide you with a link to the driver.
  In the meantime, the following link can provide some advice on troubleshooting for your connection:

• WRT610N home network problems

  Hello, my network is not working properly at home.  Computers communicate with each other and I can't save on my NAS.  I think that there is a problem with administrators and/or the useres, but I have no idea.  This is the upward.  I'd appreciate any help that anyone can give me.

  (Wireless) LAPTOP running XP SP3.  DESKTOP computer running Windows 2000.  Western Digital MY BOOK (1 TB, call the BIG HD) connected to the WRT610N for NAS.  Western Digital MY BOOK (500 GB, call LITTLE HD) connected directly to the DESKTOP and shared with EVERYONE.  Computers and the router are assigned to the 'HOME' network  All IP addresses are static.  All firewalls have other computers IP Allow or FULL TRUST.  Before adding the WRT610N computers are networked and two external drives we connected to the DEKSTOP and everything worked great using a wrt54g.  The two external HDs were shared and I could read/write in everything on a hard drive of computers.   I could save the laptop via Norton 360 on each disc. Only problem was the speed and I wanted the SIN for the DLNA media service. Since then, I installed the WRT610N and connected to it the BIG HD for the uses mentioned previously.  There are a couple of different issues going on that I can't understand.

  First of all, DESKTOP does not see other computers in the HOME network.  It is always assigned to the HOME network.  Trying to view other computers in the HOME network, that the DESKTOP appears.

  Laptop will show the WRT610N and the OFFICE of the HOME network.  Laptop will be connect/read/write to the BIG HD on the WRT610N. Laptop has no permission to access OFFICE. So I can't go to the SMALL HD on the DESKTOP via laptop.

  This is where it gets really strange.  When you back up PORTABLE HD GRAND via Norton 360, the backup fails after 832 files.  After the backup fails, laptop no longer has permision to access the BIG HD.  Laptop can no longer open WRT610N of icon in the HOME network either.  Does not have permission.  Also, if I try to click the icon for the WRT610N on the HOME network or the icon for the mapped HD BIG in my computer, the wireless signal is de-energized and resets the WRT610.  Laptop gets all rights, and permisions on WRT610N back after restarting the laptop.

  Before attempting the back upward, I made the BIG HD available via FTP and www.dyndns.com.  It worked, I could remotely to the BIG HD from other computers via internet.  Then after that the BACKUP failed, I got an email from dyndns.com saying that my host name has been blocked.  Dyndns.com, three reasons for blocking are ' updates to your client on an interval (e.g. hourly), your client is defective (e.g. flooding), you run several clients. "  I don't know why mine failed, but he did about the same time, I ran back upward.  I know that I don't have muliple customers.  It is the only host name or service or what I use with dyndns.com.  I sent without changing anything on the WRT610N, dyndns.com, asked to be unblocked, and they unlocked my hostname. Have not been blocked since then, but I have not tried a return to the top since I unlocked yesterday.

  It's the last symptom.  In my HD GRAND, all users and "S-1-5-21-789336058-329068152-725345543-5703" are listed as users.  I understand that the long alphanumeric user can be the WRT610N.  I didn't create it and I can't remove it.  I don't know if this user is on the SMALL HD.

  So, how can I get the DESKTOP on the HOME network?  How can I get the LAPTOP and the DESKTOP sharing?  How can I get the LAPTOP to save BIG HD without dropping out and having to restart the laptop (can't get a full backup now)?  This is a problem of 'property' on which device has the HOME network.  I know initially (WRT54G days) I have everything set up by the OFFICE.  It now appears that the property could be made through the WRT610N.  EVERYONE is allowed on each disc shared in the HOME network.  All drives and shared folders have different names.  All the problems occur with all security and firewalls as well off.  I already flashed the firmware and power cycled the WRT610N about 30 times over the 3 months because of the attempts to connect the two HDs at the same time.  The WRT610N seems to be stable except to drop the connection after 832 files during back upward.

  Can someone help me please?

  As you mentioned that all computers are in the same workgroup. Thing you need to check, on your desktop, open the window prompt commands and ping your IP of your laptop and check if you get all the answers, if you are getting answered, on your desktop, click Start - RUN - "\\Laptop IP" and click OK... and it will show you the folder list or the drivers that you have shared on your laptop , Just right-click on it and select 'Map network drive' and below check "Reconnect to the connection" and click Finish. It will be the card your laptop computer drivers shared on your desktop and you should be able to transfer the files from your desktop to the laptop.

  When you ping your laptop from your desktop computer are we can't get an answer, then you can try to disable the firewall and Antivirus on your computer.

  Your router has changed the MTU size to 1300 and click on save settings... That does not solve the problem even if you transfer files from your desktop / laptop computer on the NAS.

• Cannot find a home network - G60-630US

  I see other wireless networks but not my home network. Turned computer walking several times and reinstalled all both network cards.

  Hello @alethea11 ,

  Welcome to the HP Forums!

  I understand that your notebook is not your home network.

  Start later.

  Powercycle the network:
  1. turn off your laptop.
  2. unplug the power to your router.
  3. disconnect the power to your modem.
  4. wait at least 45 seconds.
  5 reconnect the modem and wait for it to come back online.
  6 plug in the router and wait for it to come back online.
  7. turn on your laptop and test your connection.

  Reset the TCP/IP settings on your PC:
  1. go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
  2. right-click on the command prompt icon and select run as administrator.
  3. in the window that opens type "netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt" without the quotes and press ENTER.
  4 restart your PC and test.

  It can also help to reset the winsock catalog:
  1. go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
  2. right-click on the command prompt icon and select run as administrator.
  3. in the window that opens type "netsh winsock reset" without the quotes, and then press ENTER.
  4 restart your PC and test.

  Reinstall the NIC drivers:
  1. download the drivers from here , but do not run them again.
  2. go to your Start menu/screen and type Device Manager.
  3. expand network adapters.
  4. right click on the wireless adapter and choose uninstall.
  5 install the drivers downloaded in step 1.
  6. restart your PC and test.

  If these steps do not resolve the problem, try this document published by Microsoft for network management issues: wired and wireless network problems. You can change the operating system with the drop-down list in the upper right of the document.

  If you have other available networks, you can try to change the channel of your wireless router to eliminate (RFI) radio frequency interference. try to set it to 1 or 11 (default is usually 6). It will take, as far as possible most of the other networks, the dissemination of the wireless signal. To do this, you will need to contact the technical support of the manufacturer of your router. Don't forget that you can also reset the router completely for a new start, which may be a good idea.

  Let me know if it helps!

• try to set up a home network with two different operating systems.

  My mother has a desktop in Vista and two laptop computers, 1 on Vista and XP 1. the office is connected to the internet and has a wireless modem. the two laptops are wireless connections and both can connect to the internet using the wireless. The printer is connected to the desktop computer and file/printer sharing enabled. I can't connect to a home network.

  Home both my desktop and my laptop are Windows 7 and both are connected to the home network and I can share my printer. I can't seem to find the right/instructions buttons to connect his and do his work. Any suggestions?

  I tried to run the tutorial "set up a home network" and solve problems, but since they are different versions that the buttons are not in the same place and are marked differently.

  Hello

  This"the desktop computer is connected to the internet and a wireless modem" , is not clear.

  To have a coherent network, the Modem is connected to the network, the router must be connected next Modem WAN, and the wire from the computer or the wireless must be connected to the router.

  In general.

  For the best newspaper of the results of each computer screen system and together all computers on a network of the same name, while each computer has its own unique name.

  Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

  General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq.html#trusted
  Please Note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic.

  If you end up with the 3rd party software uninstalled or disabled, make sure that Windows native firewall is active .

  When you have finished the configuration of the system, it is recommended to restart everything the router and all computers involved.

  -------------

  If you have permission and security issues with Vista/Win7, check the following settings.

  Point to a folder that wants to share do right click and choose Properties.

  In the properties

  Click on the Security tab shown in the bellows of the photo on the right) and verify that users and their permissions (see photo below Centre and left) are configured correctly. Then do the same for the authorization tab.

  This screen shot is to Win 7, Vista menus are similar.

  http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/permission-security.jpg

  The Security Panel and the authorization Panel, you need to highlight each user/group and consider that the authorization controls are verified correctly.

  When everything is OK, restart the network (router and computer).

  * Note . The groups and users listed in the screen-shoot are just an example. Your list will focus on how your system is configured.

  * Note . All the users who are allowed to share need to have an account onall computers that they are allowed to connect to.

  Everyone is an account, that means a group of all users who already have an account now as users. It is available to avoid the need to configure permission for each on its own, it does not mean all those who feel that they would like to connect.
