Problem with ad-hoc connection

I recently had some problems with my University's broadband connection, my computer told me that "there is another computer with the same IP address on the network". This had never happened before, but I went our site computer and found that they were suggesting some settings of the LAN adapter. After that I put these settings in, my university broadband connection worked as well as it ever has.

However, when I try now to set up an ad-hoc connection so that my Nokia e63 can use wifi to browse and download apps, I find that the "Enable Internet connection sharing" button does not appear when I reached the last step of establishing an ad hoc network.

My E63 can detect and connect to the network, but it is impossible to browse. I'm sure this isn't a problem with the phone, because it works with other wifi connections. My ad-hoc connection does not appear in my list of 'manage wireless networks '. It is listed as 'Unidentified network' for awhile in my network center and share, but then disappears.

I can connect to other WiFi networks, and my local network is fine. Ad hoc is the only problem. I tried to change the settings of the wireless adapter, but it doesn't work.

When I go to the tab "Network connections", it says that my wireless network card is not connected. When I said to diagnose the problem, it is said that the profile of the wireless network (I think it means my ad hoc network) was not saved because of a parameter error.

Help, please. I wil be pleased to provide additional details.

Hi glacierthief,

You will need to remove all ad-hoc connections, and recreate a.

You can read the following article and try to reset TCP/IP and check what is happening.

    Hello


    Were there any changes (hardware or software) to the computer before the show?

    Perform the check and the boot if the problem persists.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Note: Follow step 7 to reset the computer to start as usual after the boot process.

    Hope that helps.
  • Problems with our internet connection

    Hello, I have a all in one HP touchsmart PC (running windows 7), and he has problems with our internet connection. I dot know if it is in the right section, but this seems to be the best in the class.

    The rest of my house to connect to our router fine (iphone, iPad, computer laptop) except this PC. I CAN connect to the router, but 5 minutes or later, he has a X red on the connection and said "the settings saved on this computer do not match the requirements for the network" I looked everywhere online for this, but it remains stubbornly disconnects every time.

    I tried to delete the network and try again, but he still has a red X and the message more each time. I tried to connect and Ethernet cable, still no luck. I am very desperate to solve this problem, because it's what I use for games. Can someone help me please? It would mean the world to me if someone could help me solve this problem.

    If you don't mind keeping this Ethernet cable connected, you might have a solid connection if you come to turn off the wifi connection completely and rely only on the cable.

    Here's how:

    1. Press on + R to display the run box, type ncpa.cpl , and then press OK.
    2. Right click on the wireless network connection and choose disable.

    That's all.  You can always reactivate if you wish.

  • IM problems with my wireless connection, it says my DNS server does not respond, what is this, can help to somone, thanks

    IM problems with my wireless connection, it says my DNS server does not respond, what is this, can help to somone, thanks

    Hello

     

    Thanks for posting the question in the Microsoft Community!

    You can't use the wireless connection and the message that the DNS server is not responding.

    The problem may occur if the computer is unable to connect to the DNS server.

    To check, I suggest you follow the steps:

    Method 1: Re-register the DNS

     

    a. Click Start. Type cmd in the search box and press ENTER.

    b. at the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:
    ipconfig/flushdns (there is a space between ipconfig and /)

    It will display the message properly emptied the cache of DNS resolution.

    c. at the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:
    ipconfig/registerdns (there is a space between ipconfig and /)

    d. at the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:

    ipconfig/all (there is a space between ipconfig and /)
    The command ipconfig/all command displays for all your network adapters, TCP/IP in Windows settings.

    If your IP address of your Local network connection is 0.0.0.0 or 169.x.x.x (where x is a number any), then your computer does not receive an IP address from router.
    If this is the case, try this:

    i. enough at the command prompt ipconfig and press ENTER

    II. ipconfig / renew in command prompt and press ENTER

    The test again by typing ipconfig/all to see what is the address? (If you are on a router, it should start by or 192.168.0.x or 192.168.1.x 10.x.x.x)

    Method 2:

    a. click Start and then click Control Panel.

    b. go to the networking and sharing Center and then click on change adapter settings.

    c. right-click on connection to the Local network and select Properties.

    d. Select Internet Protocol Version 6, and then click Properties.

    e. choose the DNS server to obtain an address automatically , then press Ok.

    f. Select obtain IP address automatically.

    g. Repeat steps for Internet Protocol version 4 as well.

    It's too generic to mean anything. The application is hidden the real error message. You got when you did the tnsping and obtained "TNS-12535: TNS:operation has expired. Now THAT's an error.

    This indicates a problem firewall and routing. You said earlier you could ping the server, but now we see tnsping fails. Two different protocols of usage, so that both the successful ping turns out a valid physical path, it guarantees not that all traffic will pass. What happens with

    I guess this could be a problem with the software or drivers installed.

    I searched a bit and his city that he has a software is compatible with windows vista/2000/xp. Win 7 is not mentioned do not know if this could be a problem, but in your case, I recommend asking the support of this software product for some advice.

    In addition, you can try to install this software once more, check whether this USB problem appears again.
