• Issue with Vista wireless

  Computing:   I have a Dell XPS 420 Desktop Computer with wireless capability with a Broadcom 802.11 network adapter g. operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit with Service Pack 1

  History: I had my computer since December 2007 and used to access wireless internet with Bellsouth DSL and a Linksys router, and then for the past year, I got paired with a Linksys WRT150N router comcast. I have had no problems to connect to the internet until Verizon Fios has been installed on the Sunday, August 30, 2009.
  That said, I tried with a Dell laptop in windows XP and it is connected. I also tried with a mini computer dell laptop running XP and it is also connected. Yet once again, I say that all three of these computers connected to the internet using Linksys and two different ISPS, it was with the switch to verizon that it has lost its ability to connect.

  Verizon has installed a router wireless Actiontec MI424WR Rev E.
  Firmware version: 20.9.0 (this is the most to date version)

  I can't connect my Dell XPS 420 desktop using a wired LAN connection to the router and establish an internet connection. I'm not able to establish a wireless internet connection. When I try to go wireless, it is said:
  Public Network - unidentified network - Local access only.
  IPv4 connectivity: Local
  IPv6 connectivity: Local
  Media state: enabled
  SSID: FWLK5
  Speed: 54 Mbps
  Number of employees: (all 5 bars)
  Bytes received is always 0

  On the connection tab:
  Name and SSID: FWLK5
  Network type: Access Point
  Network availability: all users
  The checkmarks are: connect automatically in case of beach, connect to a more preferred network if available.

  On the Security tab:
  Security type: no authentication (Open)
  Encryption type: WEP
  Password: (wrong password is in the box)
  Key index: 1

  The properties of the wireless connection:
  Networking
  Connect with: map of network Broadcom 802.11 g
  This connection uses the following items:
  Client for Microsoft networks
  QoS Packet Scheduler
  File and sharing printers for microsoft networks
  IP version 6
  Internet version 4 Protocol
  Link layer topology discovery map i/o driver
  Link Layer topology discovery responder

  Sharing:
  The two boxes are checked:
  Allow other users to connect through this computer network
  Allow the other network users to control or disable the shared connection
  
  What I've tried so far based on reading previous forums discussing this issue.

  1. completely uninstalled Norton 360, including using the Norton removal tool and by calling the customer service of Norton who has accessed the computer and verified the complete removal.

  2 turned off the windows firewall.

  3 make sure the Broadcom network adapter driver has been the most up to date.

  4. people with disabilities and reinstalled the card network Broadcom.

  5 update Windows Vista Service Pack 1 and all other updates installed today.

  6 call Verizon Online support - they reset the modem and tried several things like change the "channel". Nothing has worked. They said to contact the computer manufacturer. They have pointed the finger to be a problem with Vista from the computers Windows XP work.

  7. called Dell: they tried several things with access to remote and says that it is the problem of the router/ISP.

  8. unplug the router several times, waited 5 minutes and plugged in. Has made several rounds of power on the computer as well.

  9. changing a registry key according to Microsoft technical support to disable the DHCP Broadcast flag in windows vista (I'm not entirely sure I did correct it because I didn't know what was the GUID) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928233

  10 disabling IPv6 (by unchecking it)

  11 disabling IPv4 (by unchecking it)

  12 Ran IPConfig to confirm I have a valid IP address (starts with 192 and is valid I don't know if I should post the full address)

  13 fact MSCONFIG with reset winsock

  14 changed the settings TCP/IP by netsh int ip reset at the command prompt, and out, and then uupon done restart ncpa.cpl in the start menu and unchecked the tcp/ip v6 Protocol restarted the computer.

  15. don't attempt to ping a website - no Exchange packets, error message cannot find the Web site. I tried www.google.com and www.verizon.com

  I am at a loss of what I can do to get my computer back operational wireless. Due to the entire office to the top of our House, I would really like this computer on another level and the only way to accomplish that without drilling the holes through the walls that it it works wireless.

  Any other advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

  UPDATE:   I rented the "Geek Squad" to come look at my system. The poor guy spent 3 hours going through all stages. Finally a last ditch effort he has installed a new NIC card. Bingo that fixed for some reason any. Apparently, the old NIC card was bad, even if the system was saying that it was good. The old NIC card was allowing him to connect to the router but no internet. He said it was weird, but the problem is SOLVED!

• Problem with Vista hit the Satellite X 200 - 20 s

  Sometimes during typing on vista, it will stutter and freeze. The time is very short. Is this a problem with vista or the laptop. The T7300 Core 2 Duo 2 ghz processor.

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro S200 and the same problem was with my camera. It s is not a hardware problem, it s more a driver related issue No. So, the best thing you can do is update your bios and keep your drivers up-to-date. Just check the download Drivers Toshiba site and make sure you have the latest drivers installed.

  I had resolved my stuttering (core2duo 2.33 Ghz, 2 GB RAM) by updating all drivers...

  That's all

  Good bye

• Compatibility problem with Vista and iTunes

  I downloaded iTunes 9 on my Tobisha laptop Satellite last night and put about 2.5 GB of music on it. I didn't upload the music from the internet. I used MP3s, I had for a few years.

  When I went to boot up the laptop this morning the loading process took some time, but it never loaded to the login screen. I just see the bottom of MicroSoft. Is there a compatibility problem with Vista and iTunes? Maybe I put too much music on my laptop?

  Boot in safe mode and delete iTunes and all the music I downloaded would solve the problem? Or it is less simple than that?

  Don't know where to direct this question if any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  iTunes is compatible with Vista and there should not be any problem.
  Yesterday, I installed iTunes 9 on my U400 and everything happened correctly.
  If your laptop can not boot Vista correctly, then you should try the repair feature.

  Turn on the computer and press F8. Now you will see the advanced boot menu.
  Now, you have many choices.

  As a first step, you should try the option called: last good known Configuration (Advanced)

  If this will not help and the Vista will not start then try the option called repair your computer. This option displays a list of system recovery tools, you can use to repair startup problems, run diagnostics, or restore your system.

  If that does not help, then you will need to retrieve the unit using the Toshiba recovery disc or HARD drive recovery.

  Hi there I have an acer aspire one and I have problems with my wireless connection.it is connected, but I can't use internet.any thoughts? Thank you

  A look at the "front" face, under the lip of the keyboard, similar to where a lock would be on a laptop. There is here a cursor that is not a lock, but it is a switch that activates / deactivates him wireless on and outside. Slide it on until it turns on the light above it (with the logo of the antenna), indicating wireless is turned on and drag it again to turn it off.

• 4320 proBook s - problems with the wireless Assistant

  Hello

  I have my ProBook s 4320 for about half a year now. For most of the year the half I had problems with the wireless assistant - it seems that when I start my laptop it takes about 5 to 10 minutes before the work of the internet. I never changed any settings in the wireless assistant.

  Nobody does face these same questions and no one knows how the internet starts immediately when I start my laptop? I tried this on different places with different wireless modems, but everywhere, it's the same thing and books of other people can use internet immediately.

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  You are welcome to help

  The fact that it connects properly in Mode safe indicates that the driver who normally starts with Windows or a program is causing the problem - most likely candidate is to begin by F-Secure.

  Before attempting the following procedure, make sure that you have an installation of F-Secure program, so you can re - install this software, and also a license key necessary to activate it.

  Then, from the windows control panel. Open programs and features, click on the entry for F-Secure once to highlight, and then click the option to uninstall at the top of the window.  Once done, restart the laptop.

  Again, when windows restarts, check the internet connection by using only a known secure site.

  Let me know how this affects the problem.

  Kind regards

• I started having problems with the wireless mouse and the carpet of my laptop - Lenovo ThinkPad T420 mouse.

  Original title: right click on the mouse itself activating

  I borrowed a USB to a person at work and I started having problems with the wireless mouse and the carpet of my laptop - Lenovo ThinkPad T420 mouse. The left click of two devices works normally, however, sometimes she does not respond to clicks and it takes a few seconds to work. The left button was constantly starts to turn on, as if he was stuck. After that I hit Alt + Tab and modify windows it stops for a few moments and starts at a later date. I havo not found a specific condition or a combination of keys that may trigger the fault.

  I read a few posts on discussion forums, but all say that it could be a hardware problem, which I think is not, because both devices have the same problem and I'm sure it all started with the insertion of the borrowed memory stick. I scanned the readers to help Symantec's EndPoint Protection and installed Microsoft Security Essentials and performed a full scan, but found nothing. I even restored the system, but the problem remains.

  Should I get a different antivirus? How can I find the cause so I can find a better targeted solution?

  Try to install the drivers from this link and check.

• Problems with N5050 wireless

  Hi I've had problems with a wireless N5050 for six months now. He was inconsistent and little by little do worse even if the signal always displays also available. I have a N5030 who has never had any problem to connect to the same wireless network. I tried to reinstall the drivers. I tried to change the configuration wireless between WEP / WPA etc... I've updated the BIOS. This seemed to have worked briefly, but after about 3 or four connections immediate restarts more than 2/3, he returned to be flaky. Usually when I try to connect it fails and I need to connect a cable directly from the router for access. If I leave it on it will usually manage to connect to some point in the next hour or two. The windows messages/troubleshooting help make no difference and seem to contain no useful leads. Another curiosity is that usually when he can't connect only lists my wireless network and one or two others, but when he is able to connect it lists more neighbors etc... I also tried some changes configuration after completing the other threads, but without improvement. Firewall and AV is McAfee, but it's no good to an immediate connection is restarted in Mode safe mode with networking that seems that reading absolves McAfee to be the problem? The laptop out of the warranty period, is it likely to be a problem with the wireless card or is there other configuration changes, I can try? Thanks Ben

  Ben,

  You have changed security WPA, correct?

  You wireless router Belkin router?

  I had you get your product key of McAfee using Belarc Advisor

  Then remove McAfee using the McAfee removal tool , and then restart your computer and try to connect.
