  (2) Recycle the router wireless on and outside. Wait at least one minute, then turn it back on. Retest with your wireless network.
  (3) are getting you the error messages in the case where connects to deal with your wireless connection?
  To join the event logs: click on the Start button, right-click computer, click on manage.
  If you receive a notification of user account control , simply click on continue.
  Double-click Event Viewer. Study summary of the the event logs for errors dealing with wireless.
  (4) use System Restore to get your iIf wireless upward and running, you have a System Restore Point that was before starting the problem with your wireless network.

• Try a laptop through a desktop computer wireless network. Office uses a USB plug for internet access.

  I would like to access wireless internet on a laptop (XP; Atheros 802. 11 b / g) with a desktop computer (Win64) that currently, I connect to the internet using a broadband USB connect the device (AT & T USB Mercury).  How can I build a local network of the desktop that I'll be able to connect in the House with the laptop?  Are there restrictions and limitations when using this type of internet connectivity vs a wired version?  (Because of where we live there is no availability ADSL or cable, just wireless).

  Hi Mseibolt,

  Thanks for posting. From your post, it seems you are trying to send a signal from your desktop to your laptop using a wireless signal wireless. It is here that I don't see where you have any broadcasting wireless signal from your desktop. If this is the case, then the current senerio would not possible to establish ICS and have it function to your laptop.

  I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any questions.

• Issues with Dell desktop computer wireless and D-Link wireless network card. Only able to get wireless access by checking "Use Windows to configure my wireless network". This kind of file sharing impossible.

  original title: can't see the computer on wireless internet!

  I hope that's not too much detail, but I would like that the sequence of events to be clear...

  I have a Dell desktop computer that's probably six or seven years now.  It did not come with a wireless card, so I bought a DLink router and combo card wireless, install both with the DLink software.  It works beautifully.

  Later, we through my rep AT & T DSL, I got a Motorola modem/router with wireless capabilities.  I had plugged directly on my computer Dell desktop and moved to a Dell laptop DLink wireless receiver.  No problems.

  The Dell laptop is dead and the DLink receiver has not been used for a long time.  Family of my daughter moved to our place, and I have connected his desktop computers and laptop to wireless internet, using the Windows Connection Wizard.  Still no problem.

  I got a new ASUS laptop, I also linked using the Windows Wizard.  STILL no problem.

  Now, here's the problem comes.  I moved the Dell desktop computer, connected the DLink wireless receiver to it and I am able to get wireless access ONLY when I go into the properties of PC, click the wireless networks tab and check the "use Windows to configure my wireless network" box.  Then I can connect correctly, but I don't see this computer on my wireless network.  Bad luck... because I want to be able to access share files.  When I try to connect using different assistants of Windows, I get a message to the effect that, if I used another software to connect to the program, I can't use the Windows Wizard.

  So, what can I do to remove the original configuration of DLink completely and to connect to my wireless network using the wizards in Windows?  I uninstalled the software of DLink, but it seems to have no effect at all.

  BTW, Dell desktop computer is running XP, office computer of my daughter is running VISTA, and two laptops are equipped with Windows 7.  I can see all the computers on the network with the exception of the original Dell desktop computer wireless.

  Any help would be appreciated!

  Hi rajendrarao,

  Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft Community. According to the description of the problem, it takes a long time to connect to the internet. Provide the following information:

  ·         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.

  Startup options (including safe mode)

  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 3 from the link to start the computer to a Normal startupmode.

  Method 3: Follow the steps in the article.

• Printer LaserJet 4100: Should which cable I for Laserjet 4100 connected to the laptop with USB port

  I have the HP Laserjet 4100 printer. I bought a new laptop with USB ports.  What type of printer cable I need to connect the printer to my laptop? Is there some kind of printer cable adapter, or something else that will do the trick?

  I have the same question about my HP Laserjet 1100 printer.

  Thanks in advance for your assistance expected.

  If I remember correctly, the 1100 uses a cable "C", alias MicroCentronics.  Have never seen an adapter for that one.  On the 4100, you can get a USB to parallel adapter.  They are pretty cheap and available at most CESS (Consumer Electronics Super Store) as Best Buy.  Staples and OfficeMax/Office Depot should also wear.  Online is cheaper if you have time to wait.

  The thing with these USB converters is often must 'install' the cable first.  In other words, connect it to the laptop, then wait so he could install, then connect the printer.  Depending on your operating system and if you have correct updates that can be almost instantaneous, and you may not even see it pop on the screen.

  Best idea is that since these are obviously not portable machines, connect them to your router via a network card.  I had the 1100 years and used a cheap 170 X.  I know most recent are available which are faster.

  For the 4100, see if you can retrieve a Jet Direct 620 unit on eBay.  Probably less than $50 and sometimes even as little as $25.  Stay away from the 600, 510 or 615 cards.  Low or as the 600, they can leave your network open to hackers.  No need to get Gigabit cards as they will be well above what the 4100 can handle.

  Now, two of these old devices, processing power and memory can be a problem.  Never try to print documents online.  Save them on your laptop, and then print.  You will probably get communication errors if you print directly from IE or FireFox.

  If the 1100 does not die, not even worth fixing.  Put into a Fuser is a nightmare.  The 4100 will probably work for another 20 years if you keep to clean and replace the rolls before they cause jams.

• I have a problem with the connection of the laptop with the LCD.

  I'm trying to connect my laptop with a cable adapter VGA - HDMI to a LCD to watch my PC to TV programs but I don't get the window to duplicate the monitor and apply the correct resolution.  How can I solve this?

  Don't forget to press the FN key and screen switch on your laptop to an external monitor/tv/projector keyboard.

• Cannot get the resolution of 2560 x 1600 Dell U3011 connected to M4600 laptop with NVidia

  My setup:- Dell U3011 30'' IPS monitor- Dell M4600 Laptop with NVidia Quadro 1000M - Simple E-Port replicator model PR03X- OS: Ubuntu 12.10, kernel 3.5.0-21, 64-bit (I know it is not supported officially, RHEL is, so I guess there should be a way of getting it work)- Drivers: NVidia proprietary drivers 304.48 (also tried with 304.60)- X.org version: 1.13
  

  According to the specs the monitor should be capable of doing 2560x1600 through DVI-D or DisplayPort.
  

  The problem is: I can't get it to work with DisplayPort even if directly plugged to the laptop. The Nvidia driver seem to detect DP properly, although it doesn't detect the monitor. It only detects the laptop LCD display. If I go to Nvidia Settings, there is no eternal monitor listed.
  
  What I tried and what did not work:
  

  • Turning off the optimus in the Bios
  • connection of the monitor first, then reboot,
  • start first then connect the monitor
  • by pressing Fn + F8 several times
  • go to Nvidia settings and press "Detect displays" - the monitor is off "sleep mode" for a certain time but past sleeping within a few seconds later, nvidia does not detect
  • installation of different versions of nvidia drivers (the most recent, I tried was 304.60
  • completely uninstall the Bumblebee (optimus is disabled in the bios though)
  • using the open-source drivers again (they don't seem to not work at all, even for the computer screen)
  • Delete entirely xorg.conf file

  What works "partially":
  

  • Connect the monitor using the VGA cable. So I'm able to get resolution of 2048 x 1240, but the picture quality is bad, it's blurred. Not a solution, really. In this context the NVidia driver detects the monitor as U3011 correctly.
  • Connect the monitor using DVI - D (dual link) cable through the dock station. In this context the NVidia driver detects the monitor as U3011 correctly, TwinView works very well.
    However, I get only 1600 x 1200 resolution as the highest option (not even the 1920 x 1200 which is supposed to work with DVI single-link).
    May be that the docking station does not support DVI dual link?
    The connector on the back of it is dual-link for sure, but perhaps there is no connection of double bond between the laptop and the dock?
    Unfortunately, the laptop has a DVI - D, only HDMI, VGA and DP connector, so I can't try a direct connection.
    Or maybe the driver is misdetecting dual-link as a single link connection, and in fact, it might be possible to force it to use the pixel dual-link clock?
  What to try next? Please help, because so far my new U3011 is useless... :(

  OK, so finally I thought, after reading a thread on some Dell 27 "monitor problems DisplayPort (really scary thread, shame on you, Dell).

  The solution was to turn off the monitor, * unplug it from power * and leave it in that State for some time. Now, it works fine, if connected both via the docking station as well as directly. Also, there is no problem with going back to suspend / sleep.
