Set up a home network on a Vista computer. Added my XP computer on the network. I can go on the internet but the signal strength is 'very low' 98% of the time.

I used a d-link WBR-1310 Wireless G router to set up the network on my Vista computer.  On my XP computer, I used an adapter G USB 2.0 Wireless d-link WUA-1340.  Both computers are single room apart and most of the time, the doors are open, so there is no major obstacle to interfere with the signal.  This is my first experience on the implementation of a network and I must admit I was a little unsure of myself.  I don't know if I have some incorrect settings or if the problem may be something else.  It is a WEP secure network but I don't think that's the problem.  My XP computer on the network automatically signs as soon as it starts.  I am trying to download the LLTP from Microsoft on my XP machine, but I don't know if this could be the problem.  I've been struggling with this problem for almost 4 weeks and I'm getting very frustrated.

PLEASE, I WELCOME ANYONE WITH AN IDEA OF WHAT I HAVE DONE WRONG, TO ANSWER!

I'm sorry, but I read your post and I do not understand what the problem is you want to solve.  Is something that does not properly?  If so, please give us the details: what you're trying to do, what happens when you do that, the text of the error messages, etc.

    You need to connect to your wireless network SSID of the router and its encryption key (in your case, the encryption WEP 128 bit key). No other information should be necessary.

    If you talk to access another PC on the network, you must first establish the wireless connection. If you have done this, you must provide a login user name and password for the computer that you are trying to access.

    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.

    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.

  • XP computer does not access the Vista computer on the home network.

    I have a three home computers I'm trying to set up using two with XP - Pro (all updates including SP3 installed) and a third with Vista Home Premium (SP2 installed, all the updates that are installed to date). The two XP machines can connect (access) between them, but they cannot access the Vista machine. The Vista Machine can access the two XP machines. I've tried every tip/trick that I can find so far and nothing. Ping on each pc test, uninstalled the Norton firewall, permisions changed part to the best of my knowledge on all PCs, I am the owner of the computer and to assume with a single account on Vista I have right to full ownership, contacted the manufacturer of routers (performed an upgrade), but nothing is allowing access to the Visat pc.  When you view the network connections on the XP machines, Vista is listed, I can click to open and see the folders to share, but when I try to open a file I get the error\\xxx\xx is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact. admin of this server to find out if you have access permissions. Access is denied.

    It's funny that I can find other users to comment on other forums that they are experincing the opposite scenrio with access denied on XP machines... Thanks in advance for any help...

    Hello

    Uninstall any software antivirus and then check to see if you can access the Vista computer again.

    Warning: 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.

Using a modem without phone/ethernet gateway serving a computer office wired ethernet and a wireless laptop, I would like to know if I should put in place a network home ethernet and add a wireless device or I set up a wireless network and add a wired ethernet device. Two computers use Vista Home Premium 64 - bit OS. I have 1 printer and a XBox (wired) and a (wired) DirectTV receiver attached, too.

    What is the brand and model of your wireless/ethernet modem access point?  It should be able to provide any wireless networks and wired Ethernet network.

    Wired Ethernet ports how do I need?  If she has enough for all computers and devices that you want to network, you're ready.  If not, connect a wired Ethernet switch for more ports.

  • -Is this a "no Proxy" security affect setting on my home network?

    I have established that the the unique proxy setting that makes my computer works best is the "no proxy setting. I read, however, that this setting could leave my computer open to hacking and other intrusions. I'm on a home network with no other users. My ISP is Comcast. I have not run any software protection protection other than what offers Windows and everything that gives a router. Is it safe set the proxy server offers 'no proxy '. Even if I have Internet high flow, I can't access most of the sites up to 30 seconds, and sometimes I just get wait times. When I changed the setting to 'no proxy', I was able to connect to the lightening quick sites. I always thought it was Comcast, but it seems that it is this particular parameter which is the culprit. However, if the "no proxy setting' endangers my safety, I'll change it to another setting.

    No, it isn't a threat to the security of your computer.

    Does anyone know what is causing the "debug" window pop up and how can I stop from occurring?

    Thank you very much

    DW

    Hi Donna,.

    We will see if it is caused by something starting at startup or with some drivers.

    Try a boot minimum http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.  If the problem goes away then it's just a matter of tracking down the culprit at the origin of the problem.   Follow the procedures described in the article.  Once found, remove, delete, disable or uninstall.  Once remember to put Vista in normal status, as described in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal and reboot - this solution will not work.

    Start in safe mode with network and see if the problem is here.  A result allows us to narrow down the search for the cause.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • I have problems with my computer with the time remaining after I reset the clock and made sure it was on the correct time zone and summer time has been check the battery has also been replaced

    and it will not keep the exact time it will keep accelerate at least 5 minutes or more.

    I don't know what else to do about it. You can someone help me?

    I still find myself make too many assumptions.
    First of all, I guess your derivative of clock occurs during the time when the computer is running and not during the period where it is off (or immediately early)?
    Second, I'm assuming that when you run the command "w32tm/Resync" above, the clock made it back to the correct time and no errors were reported?
    Third, you say that your clock drift 5 minutes or more, but you do not tell us how long this gain occurs.  It is two times more win if you wait twice as long to check?  Is the gain gradual or sudden?  Keep he wins or if he stops wins once it arrives before?

    Conditions of default for a computer connected non-member of the field, the time will be updated network-time only at the start and then once a week.  If you are winning too much too quickly, you can adjust how many times your computer asks for time.  Computers in the domain must be more precise and one every hour for a default time synchronization.  You can set your W32tm to that of a computer in the domain to resynchronize your computer more often (SpecialPollInterval).  Here are two articles that describe the clock settings:
