Hi, the active network connection icon keeps changing on me.  He began by showing only 2 connections to the internet and the changes and then later to 3. But does not show where is this extra connection to connect to the local network.  I have a laptop so no wireless and cannot understand why he continues to display an additional connection.

  • There is more than one active network connection on your computer

    I have two ISP with 2 different IP addresses of course. With one I connect via cable, the other is wireless. Until a couple of days, I'd keep the Wi - Fi turned off on the front of the case, to allow the laptop to connect only to the cable connection.
    Some sites were not loading, indicating problems with DNS resolution. I checked for possible reasons online. I tried to connect to these sites using a webproxy and it worked, so I thought I would try the wireless connection. I turned on and sites would be load normally. However, when I checked my ISP number this shows that the active connection cable one.
    I hesitated to leave the switch turned on, but in order to leave these sites load, I thought I had no other choice. Needless to say that I am not notified at all or with the networks or computers.
    Everything seemed to work fine until the wireless connection has started having problems anyway, it stopped working (ISP issues), so stopped at new loading sites. I tried troubleshooting it and he said: "it has more than one active network connection on your computer" and suggested I would disconnect them. Naturally, I unplugged the wireless connection. Problems: I can not load the sites that seem to need to have wireless to turn on. Note that it does not need it to be active, only to have this switch.
    Please let me know if there is anything I can do to correct this inability to connect to the servers of some sites without the need to have that switch on. If there is no explanation for this behavior, which does not make sense. Again, I know nothing about networks or computers, forgive my ignorance!
    I use Windows 7 Home Premium x 64, my laptop is a Vaio. This happens on all my browsers and sites that have stopped loading were load normally when I 1st turned on the laptop the same day. To later that day there some sites stopped to load, which made me think it was a matter of site. Then I realized that it was not connect to twitter, which was not down, so I realized it was my problem.

    It looks at when you use the wired connection THAT DNS has failed.

    In order to clarify the names of web sites means absolutely nothing to a computer in itself, www.google.com is completely useless. All comms on a network revolves around the IP addresses and the DNS service is a process by which the dedicated servers which addresses are known can tell your PC what is the address of a Web site. For some reason any on the wired connection your PC isn't getting the address to soundcloud.com.

    In family situations more of a PC it gets the IP of the router settings, of course I don't know if this is true in your case. If you open a command prompt and run ipconfig/all, paste the result here and we can check. This would include which server DNS to use that, as I said is normally the router. There are actually millions of internet addresses, and your router could not store them to remedy this it forwards a request for an address of DNS servers listed in its own configuration of IP internet side.

    If you can connect to the router and look its DSL or WAN configuration, you should find at least one or two DNS servers. Take note of them. If you can't connect to the router then look at the website from your ISP for their parameters.

    On your computer, go to the network control and Internet\Network connections, right-click on your wired card, and select Properties. Double-click Internet version 4 Protocol. In normal use get it 2... buttons should be selected, are they?

    If you change only the down one to use the following DNS server address and enter the fields, addresses that you got the router. Click OK twice, but leave the window network connections open as you need.

    Now, try to get your site into a problem. If you can then the problem is with your router. Instead of asking the router address you have bypassed this stage and went on the server, your router is configured to use.

    If you are still unable to the site then the problem is further down and your router may be OK. Then go back to where you set the addresses DNS and replace those that you got the router and turnkey 8.8.8.8 primary DNS server address and 8.8.4.4 in another address, OK once again two times and then try again the site. These 2 addresses are own Google public DNS servers and should work.

    If the ISP provided the router they should replace it. Explain what is the problem and the results of these tests, although I have no doubt that they insist on their own checks before accepting.

    I tried several times to contact support, but have not been able to get well. I have a trial (try actually the second time), but are not yet able to test Lightroom/CC. I wanted to try the room light I use Capture 1 now.

    My question is this: the Downloader or installer will load only if I "Run as Administrator" and then it crashes every time in seconds. I even tried the Adobe application that will go well and remove all the remains of the previous software hoping that he would, but no solution. It will continue to act as his footstool, consumption of RAM, but do nothing else than the loop on the same screen. I have to force quit the program so that he could even respond. I'm a little confused on where to go with it. Thank you!

  • HP Advisor Dock - icons keep changing position

    I am using the HP Advisor dock for the last two days to see if it is useful or not.

    I've added some icons in the dock and reorganized the position of some icons. However, every time the dock stops and then restarts, some of the icons change of position.  For example, I want icons in the left to right order: 1,2,3.  But after a reboot, they appear as: 2,1,3.

    Is there a way to rearrange the icons and LOCK the arrangement?

    Thanks for any advice you can provide.

    I'll write this off as OPERATOR ERROR!

    I assess me the value of the docking station and to save time I dragged simply shortcuts icons that were already on the desk.  Apparently, this is not the right way to add icons in the Dock. After some reading, I tried dragging shortcuts directly from application files. Using this procedure, all of the icons remain in place on the dock; no more musical chairs!

  • How to prevent my Mac of disconnection after that I connected remotely from iPhone and then left the iPhone app?

    I use RemoterVNC on my iPhone to log remotely on my Mac at home so the children can use the computer without my go physically to the computer. (I admit, I am a bit lazy like that). However, lately when I launch RemoterVNC (on my iPhone), do the business of the connection, and then exit the application, the remote Mac began a disconnection. He also started doing this when I connect from my first Mac via screen sharing. It is a relatively recent behavior. Someone has an idea what setting I have (inadvertently) enabled to prevent the computer from automatically disconnect when the 'access app' is no longer active on the remote device?

    Go to System Preferences > energy saving > computer sleep > drag it FOREVER to prevent disconnection of your mac.
