Programs of security software: Comodo & Panda Cloud Antivirus Firewall
Configs of security software: uninstalled, installed or disabled, and installed/enabled

DETAILS OF THE PROBLEMS:

No wireless network is detected on the computer with the installed adapter WUSB54GC.  Cell phones, printer (located in the same office) and game console, receive positive signals / have no connectivity problem.  With a new installation of Windows (i.e. the BONES cost installation before using each method) I tried to install the unit using the following methods: 1) using the Setup program on the CD-ROM included, 2) using the last program (drivers) site Web of Linksys, install 3) manually through the device with drivers from the Disk Manager and installing 4) manually through the Device Manager with the newer drivers from the Web site Linksys.  In addition, I tried with the firewall disabled/uninstalled software.

I had some success using the Linksys Wireless Manager program that is included in the installation program.  However, it is only if I choose the option 'connect to the hidden network' when the Wireless Manager is ran in the last step of the Installer (no network is detected the case).  The quirks are that the network is not hidden, and after Setup is complete, I can see all the wireless LANs with the Linksys Wireless Manager (no need to check the option hidden network).  After a few diagnostic tests, I think that the Network Magic software that is installed in quiet mode with the Linksys software is at the origin of the problem.

During the detailed above method that allowed me to connect to the network, I used the firewall software to observe that connectivity can be established only if nmsrvc.exe, a component of the network Network Magic/pure software platform that is installed silently, is allowed access to the network.  After this program to access the Linksys Wireless Manager network can detect networks normally and connectivity problems disappeared.  After he logged initially I can even kill the process, its assistance process and the program manager wireless, still maintain connectivity.  I also thought about this magic (AKA pure networks platform service) network installation two other network protocols that when disabled preventing connectivity.  With certainty the adapter only works if I finish the complete installation program by using the hidden network option and continue to use linksys wireless/network magic software later.

I'm trying to understand why the Network Magic software is necessary to detect and use all networks.  As I said originally, I tried just to install the drivers through the device without success Manager.  The adapter is configured on a machine Pentium 4 of 2001, and this software supports 40 MB of precious CPU cycles and memory.  I want to connect to my wireless network and use the computer without software bloated slow down the computer even more.  My own conclusion, after all these tests are that my router needs the network magic to work properly for some reason, but if that's true, I would at least use Windows connects to the network as Linksys Wireless Manager uses 30MB RAM itself.  Of course, it's more a problem advanced if I appreciate anyone who takes the time to read all this and make their contribution.  Thank you.

I think that the most appropriate statement would be that the WUSB54GC has some compatibility issues with Windows XP SP3.

Specifying the age of the available Linksys drivers I did some research and discovered that the WUSB54GCv3 uses a third party (a common practice), the Ralink RT2800UD chipset.  Latest Ralink drivers for this chipset are over a year newer than the official drivers from Linksys.  They require just a few reconfiguration so that they work with Linksys WUSB54GCv3.  With the updated drivers comes better compatibility and performance often.

Once I installed these drivers updated the device could detect local wireless normally, and I was able to use the Zero Windows wireless utility to connect to my network.  I think that others with similar compatibility problems will have the same result.  For more information and links to these pilots updated already visit reconfigured: http://sites.google.com/site/linksysupdateddrivers/.  There are not official, updated drivers for many other Linksys products here.  Credit for the drivers and the Web site goes to this person: http://sites.google.com/site/linksysupdateddrivers/about.

    Hi TheJohnParr, to your Thunderbird (e-mail client) problem, I you suggest have another question for this, and we could concentrate on your Firefox search engine problem in this thread.

    You can view, disable and usually remove extensions on page modules. Either:

    • Command + shift + a

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, when in doubt, turn off.

    Typically, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

    Any improvement?

    Moreover, the address bar works a bit different in the search boxes (homepage search box or the search box toolbar). If you enter a single word without spaces in the address bar (for example, hobbit or mozilla.org) then Firefox should first check with your provider if there is a known server name. Sometimes, these queries are diverted by your service provider to show you search results. By comparing your search in the address bar and the search box, you can see if it comes to the question.

  • Should I have the Network Access Protection Agent Service to start automatically on Windows 8?

    Hello!

    While I was looking for a completely different setting in Control Panel in Windows 8, I came across the center of the Action settings and noticed that the Agent of network access Protection service is not running. I open the computer management snap-in and noticed that the service is configured by default must be started manually. I looked for more information on the internet but I wasn't able to find a detailed explanation about his goal for a personal computer. The only explanation I found applied only to Windows Server.

    Is it really necessary to configure this service to start automatically on a home network, or can it be just left set to start manually? What is its use on Windows 8? Is this just in case the computer needs to access a network of business domain?

    I am running Windows 8 Pro 64-bit edition on an Acer Aspire 5552-5898 connected most of the time in my network domestic, although usually I connect to public networks. My computer is not configured to connect to a domain on a corporate network, not even using VPN. When I access my e-mail from this computer company account, I first need to authenticate with a code provided by RSA device before I can connect to Outlook (OWA).

    See you soon!

    Hi Cspork,

    Thanks for choosing Microsoft Community!

    You have reached the right forum. Try to solve this problem.

    As I understand it, in the center of the Action the officer of Access Protection settings network service does not work.

    The network access Protection agent service collects and manages health information for client computers on a network. The information collected by the NAP agent are used to ensure that the client computer has the required software and settings. If a client computer is not compatible with the health policy, it can be equipped with restricted network access until their configuration is updated. Depending on the configuration of health policies, client computers may be automatically refreshed allowing users to quickly regain full network access without having to manually update the computer.

    The service can be left to be set to start manually.

    It is especially where the computer needs to access a network of business domain.

    Hope the helps of information. Don't answer if you need assistance, we will be happy to help you.

    Personally, I'd skip step 3 "download Network Magic."  There is really no need for this application and, as you saw, it can cause problems.

  • Network Magic with a Linksys WAG54G2

    I am trying to disable the network lock so I can uninstall Network Magic 5.5.9118.2 - Pure0. I can't do though, as he says that it cannot configure Network Lock on my router.

    My modem/router is a Linksys WAG54G2 (1.00.16 firmware version). I heard that it does not fully support Network Magic but I was able to turn on the last night the program of locking and security wireless network. What can I do now?

    Correction of the problem. Stop and restart the service of the platform solves the problem.

  • Problem Driver network Dell Latitude E5570 with MDT

    We received a lot of laptops Dell Latitude E5570. I want to install a picture on them, using MDT. I downloaded the file CAB for Windows 7, A02 08/03/16. Added to the output of the drivers on MDT as usual, then updated the deployment share.

    When you try to start the installation, I get an error in the wizard. Connect to the deployment share could not be established. The following network device has not been installed, PCIVEN_8086 & DEV_156F & SUBSYS_06DF1028 & REV_21

    I tried download the drivers for the network card on the Intel site and their import. This time, I can access the task sequence list. There's nothing wrong with the first part of the installation. When it comes to complete the installation, I get the same error of Assistant on the network device.

    Any suggestions would be welcome

    I finally got mine work. Drivers is must always use a combination of the taxi driver from Dell and Intel driver. If the version 3 of the TAXI driver who has been published will solve the problem?

    I try to import the driver directly from intel first as well as the cab file and see if it works. This is the link I used: downloadcenter.intel.com/.../Intel-Ethernet-Adapters-Connections-CD

    In the end, I think that my question was due to the SSD and the fact that I tried to start Win 7 x 86.

    After reading a couple of different forums, it seems new SSD require UEFi start to run, which is not supported in Windows 7 x 86. I tried an image with Win 7 x 64 and it worked the first time.

  • Problems of network with 715W

    For months (seems like years?) I had to power cycle regularly my printer, the PC and the modem/router to restore network connectivity.  More recently (now) connectivity is dead, even until I can't connect using a USB cable.  If I try to print a page of test via a USB port, it goes through the motions, pulling a page from the paper tray, abruptly resets and get the blank page on the output tray.  I tried without success with several resets of the router, different channels, power levels, etc.

    Anyubody other similar problems?  Of course, I had also just replace my black and purchased 2 new black cartridge and a color cartridge to avoid missing (victimized by this one at Christmas while they were not in stock!)

    After spending over an hour on the phone with Dell, call of the Canada, getting bounced to half a dozen different representatives in the United States and then back to the Canada even once, he ended it would cost more than a little troubleshooting only so buy a new printer (not DELL).  I managed to get a RA number to be able to return the cartridges, that I just bought.

    Then I called my provider I had problems last week with my network which I think might be related.  After about 15 minutes with them, they found where a framework had been modified caused place ended my problems.  Even if they are not 'officially' supporting printers, he worked through the configuration with me and you have my printer works again 100%.

  • Network problems intermittent management with more than 1 works ESXi

    Hello

    I had problems since installation with our 2 x ESXi 5.5 nodes running on a Dell VRTX system.

    If I had to run 1 ESXi nodes on its own, it works perfectly, no problems what so ever, but as soon as I start the 2nd node they network for the management network connectivity problems.  However any virtual machine that you are running on them have no problem at all.

    The easiest way for me to check it comes to ping the management network and it will be on one of the nodes timeout, then it will randomly and knitting on this node but timeout on the other, they will never return a ping at the same time.


    If anyone has experienced this before? I fight to see if there is a problem with the installation on the ESXi hosts, the network Dell VRTX or our NetGear switch.

    I tried a lot of solutions and been through the different pages of VMware KB but can't seem to find something that suits him.

    The network Dell 8 physical ports are all in one LAG with 2 nodes added, I tried the distinct lag, but that made no difference, I am focusing now on if it is a parameter of VMware to see where that gets me.

    That's how the two nodes are configured.

    vmnet.JPG

    Solved!

    Finally, I spotted the problem, and VMware technical support fixed it for me.

    The MAC address of each management network was the same!, for some reason, the host of the 2nd got the MAC address of a NIC to host the premiere, don't know how its possible but VMware support restored all of the network settings from scratch and it picked up the correct MAC and works.

    Thank you all for your suggestions.

  • Problems of network with Ubuntu 10.04

    Hello

    I've been running vmware on Ubuntu 9.04 for a while with no problems (host Ubuntu 64-bit with 2 guests, 1 32-bit Ubuntu and Ubuntu 1 64-bit).

    I've recently updated my Ubuntu to 10.04 and ran into problems with vmware, I followed the instructions here (http://www.marcosorfila.com/site/?p=380) and managed to get Ubuntu works with VMware 2.0.2 and my guests are here. Everything starts fine, except that I got the Firefox issue with the console. To work around this problem, I can connect to the console using my computer laptop windows and Internet Explorer, so I'm happy on this front

    My network uses NAT and it worked well with older versions. If I connect to the console on two comments I ping the host or guest, but for some reason, my host cannot see my guests. I spent the last 3 days, google search and I can't find anything to indicate how to solve this problem. The two guests are versions of server with no windowing capability and I normally rely on ssh access from the host, but it does not work either.

    My host is using a wireless internet network interface and this includes the IP 192.168.1.3, subnet of VMware is on 192.168.194.x

    Can anyone offer any advice to get access to my guests from the host?

    Thank you

    I managed to find a solution to this. I need to use a patch different than I used initially. Details can be found here.
