  • I have a problem with the wireless network card.

    Hello

    I use a laptop Medion MIM 2210 and I have a problem with my wireless network adapter.

    I get a message before Windows 7 starts telling me that there is problem with a wireless driver. The exact message says:

    "Intel UNDI, PXE - Z.0 (build 082)

    Copyright (C) 1997,1998,1999 Intel Corporation

    VIA Rhine II Fast Ethernet Adapter v2.43 (2005/12/15)

    PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of

    "PXE - MOF: exit Inel PXE ROM.

    This message appears every time you start and I don't know what he means by "Media Test Failure".

    I turned on my laptop today and noticed I had no internet connection, it showed that it connected but with yellow '!' symbol indicating that it was not fully connected. He did this for a while now and I have reinstalled Windows, in safe mode and I tried to delete the drivers and re - install, but it hangs right on uninstall what makes me angry no the case.

    Of course now, I tried to look for help my internet connection is running but the message is still there. Can someone tell me what to do or how to solve this problem, I am standing now on what to do. I was also on the drivers Medion website but it is impossible to navigate around and drivers without end there'e to choose. I would consider ringing them and asking them if they were not located in Germany as it would cost me a bomb! I did just now searching online via the Device Manager to see if he can find an update for the drivers but nothing came.

    Thanks for any help that anyone can offer :)

    The message is to be cause the BIOS looking for boot from LAN (not wireless) before it starts and then from the hard drive. The Media test failure is because to boot from LAN it tests to see if the wired Ethernet is connected, it is not if it generates the error message.

    Enter the BIOS press F2 after initial power on but before the Logo Windows shows

    Integrated devices should allow you to set the settings of wired network adapter. According to the BIOS it is either "enabled with PXE" or have another option to enable or disable the boot ROM

    In the boot options the LAN card should be removed altogether.

    This message is ONLY applicable to the transfer of the BIOS boot process and should have no impact on the problems of WiFi (it is not on WiFi)

  • Wusb54g v2 - problem with Linksys Wireless Network Monitor Software

    I have a card Linksys USB wireless (WUSB54Gv2) that is currently used with an old HP Desktop running Windows XP Service Pack 3.

    I also have a Linksys Wireless PCI Adpater (WMP54Gv4.1) that is currently used with an old Dell desktop running Windows XP.

    I have a wired and wireless home network... My broadband provider is Verizon FIOS; I use their supplied router because the coaxial cable that provides the internet connection plugs only into their wireless router, not in a modem and a router. I have an encryption key for 128-bit WEP on the side of the network wireless; It is even once managed via the Verizon FIOS router via a web browser (like most routers).

    Two other computers I own are a desk custom-made to date with a direct link to the Verizon router and a laptop from Apple. These two computers are NOT having internet connectivity problems.

    I've updated to the latest drivers for my USB adapter and the car PCI.

    ---

    Here's my problem:

    When I try to connect to the internet using the Wireless Network Monitor software provided by Linksys, computers, I can connect to the "access point", but not internet. This product only when I don't have the key WEP 128 bits in place, when security is disabled.

    If I right click on the Wireless Network Monitor icon in the taskbar and select "Use Windows XP Wireless Configuration", enter my network through windows manually information (including the WEP key), I can connect to the internet perfectly.

    However, when I restart or stop two PC, the Linksys Wireless Network Monitor reactive software itself, where it automatically attempts to connect to the internet, but fails, after which I right click on the icon of the monitor again and select «Use Windows XP...» "and then I connect to the internet.

    Is anyway to disable the Linksys continuously monitor software WITHOUT uninstalling the software or drivers? (I tried this; Windows cannot use or recognize the network adapter).

    ---

    I might just re - activate the Setup Wireless Windows XP every time I close / restart, but other users of PCs on my network (my family) are exceptionally illiterate computer/network and would not be able to learn how to do whenever they want to connect. There is very little practice.

    If there is a way to solve this situation, please help! If all goes well there are other solutions I am open to suggestions.

    I must emphasize that our Apple laptop connects fine when the WEP key is set.

    Once more, looking for quick help!

    Thank you advance!

    Remove the Linksys adapter and uninstall the Linksys software menu programs... Re - install drivers insert the CD of Linksys install in your CD-ROM drive, when the welcome is displayed click on exit, connect your USB adapter now... When the Hardware Update Wizard window appears, click on install the software automatically (recommended) and then click Next... Click Finish when the installation is complete.

    NOTE: The hardware installation screen may appear indicating that the adapter has failed the Windows Logo test. Ignore the window and click on continue to continue the installation because the adapter has been tested and it works with Windows XP. When Windows has finished installing the driver, click Finish.

    Click Start and open the control panel and double-click on network connections. Right click on wireless network connection, and then select view available wireless networks "-If you see your network wireless in the list, the highlight by clicking 'single' on it now, click on the 'Connect' button below-if your wireless network is secured, it asks you to provide the network key - provide the wireless network key and confirm again in the confirmation box and click 'Connect'."

  • problems with Vista wireless

    I'm losing my wireless connection, but it shows that I am connected to the internet. I disconnect and reconnect and even though it shows I'm connected it does not connect to the web browser. Has anyone tried with a map of wiresless instead of the computer?
    Most of the ppl I talk seem to have the same problem. I'm sitting with my internet provider two nights in a row going on in connections. It works for a while and then it acks just straight up. Seems worse during the day for some reason any. I have a new wireless DSL and sometimes the only way I can get is to hook the Ethernet cable to the computer and DSL. If putting a wireless card in the computer would cure the problem I would be but what hard ware and soft ware problem?

    Hello

    1. have you done any change in software on the computer lately?

    I suspect that there is a third-party application which is in conflict with the wireless connection. Configure the computer to clean boot and check if it works very well. If it works fine, we can use a 50-50 approach to find the conflicting application. See the article below for more information on the clean boot.

    It will connect and stay connected for a while but then at the same time, he will say it is plugged into the router but no internet and all I have to do to fix is to run the troubleshooter and it restarts the adapter wireless in my computer. but on the resolution of the problems then says that the default gateway is not found. How can I fix so it continue to happen? here is an idea of what it looks like after the resolution of problems is run

    Hi evanhoozier,

    ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    ·         You get the error message?

    Follow these methods.

    Method 1: Temporarily disable the security software .

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Method 2: Follow these steps:

    Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode with network and check if the problem persists.

    Step 2: If the problem does not persist in safe mode with networking, perform a clean boot to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Note: After completing the steps in the clean boot troubleshooting, follow step 7 the link to start the computer to a Normal startupmode.

    Method 3: Follow the steps in the article.

  • Problem with HP Wireless TV Connect 2.0

    I can't connect the transmitter and the receiver.  I even had a new transmitter delivered to my HP.  But I still get a message saying: "Please activate record on transmitter unit" do not know how to do this and there is no instructions anywhere to fix this.  Almost ready to return this product to the HP.

    It seems that the transmitter and receiver are not matched.  I think that the quick start guide has some instructions on how to add a device?

    During the process of adding video source, the on-screen display on will say "Please activate record on transmitter", when you see that, press the button on the back of the transmitter and hold it down for 2-3 seconds or until the light goes solid.

  • Drops of wireless network connection - windows Vista Restart problem

    Hello

    Recently installed Windows Vista on a new version of a recovered old PC as well as a few new purchases (memory, DVD player, NAS). Everything in place and works very well, but I'm faced with a problem of wireless network. The system works well: internet etc, but will drop the connection to the router wireless without apparent reason, he is followed by repeated reconnection automatic attempts when he will restore a decent connection for a minute or so and then drop again. This continues ad nauseam. The bulk of what a Windows restart will completely solve the problem for an hour or two until it is started.

    The research of the forums etc, I tried so far:
    -Switching of wireless channels
    -Deletion of "turbo" on the router
    -Disable IPv6
    -Checked drivers are updated
    -Check the firmware of the router

    I'm also reasonably sure of the following:
    -There is no interference (I put 'new' PC exactly in the same place as my old and uses exactly the same network card and router)
    -The work of the (PCI) wireless card (available connections always show the router as well as others in the region when connecting).
    -The router does not appear these problems with my PS3

    My details:
    -Windows Vista Home Premim - fully updated
    -Windows Firewall is the only firewall running
    Belkin router - G and complementary wireless card (a good old now a few years but run perfectly in XP)
    -P4HT 3 GHz, 2 GB system
    -Very little software installed to date (software the only thing I can think of Buffalo NAS relevent)

    Anyone with a similar experience? It's driving me crazy!

    See you soon!

    Hello DizzyEgg,

    Thank you for posting.  Transitional issues are most frustrating to resolve.  I think that this problem is with your wireless card.  If your PS3 and other devices are not the problems to give up the connection to your router this supports the hypothesis that the problem is in your wireless NIC.  We have seen that many times on this forum and I personally had the same problem with a wireless card.  The symptoms are identical, will connect for awhile, and then abandons the connection while still showing a strong wireless signal.  You can reconnect manually for a few minutes, and then the connection drops again.  Restart Windows seems to fix the problem than to have the connection after a variable duration.  Unfortunately, the only step in troubleshooting to verify this is to replace the wireless NIC card to test if the connection will be held with the new card.  Since you admit that the map is several years old that increases the likelihood of this being a transient failure on the NETWORK card wireless itself.

    Thank you

    Jack

  • Problems with wireless USB adapter. Icon missing "Wireless network connection".

    I recently got a laptop HD malfunction cause me to start my PC from 2004. I bought a Belkin N150 Wireless USB adapter to connect to the internet connectivity. During the installation, I do not get a "Wireless network connection" icon I am running Windows XP SP3. I installed the same USB adapter on a computer running Windows XP SP2 and it works fine. I plugged it in my desktop PC and it just doesn't work! Even with my router disconnected I should still be able to see other networks WiFi available in the range (I live in a community of apartment) as he worked on the other computer it elsewhere too. I double checked the drivers, reboot the cable modem, so that appropriate services were activated and still no dice. I have read forums and I'm almost at the point of paying MS for technical support services, but it's really just my last step before I shell out money for professional help. Notice to lovers? =)

    Hello

    Well, at this point, you should make an executive decision.

    If you think that someone will take just guilt because it's comfortable, it is not going to happen.

    If a new card that is known to work does not work, then you can try to re - install Windows.

    One of the differences between computer enthusiasts and regular users is the availability of the material. I have a set of wireless router, network cards, etc. that are known to be good.

    The components are used for the sole purpose of trying them temporarily on the troubled computers to rule out hardware problems.
