  • DeskJet 3070 unable to connect to the ad hoc network

    Hello

    I'll put up my new HP Deskjet 3070. This printer has wireless capability. I would use it wireless with my laptop Macbook Pro (OSX 10.6.8).

    I don't have a wifi network or router at home. That's why I created a wifi (one to one) on my mobile ad - hoc network, named MyPrinterNetwork. This is the type of network used to connect a computer to the other on wifi. MyPrinterNetwork is then visible to other devices compatible wifi (other computers, smartphone,...), and devices can connect to the network (and share files or Internet by wifi). This thread http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-Setup/Connect-Deskjet-3070A-wirelessly-to-my... suggests that this printer is able to connect to ad hoc networks.

    I then launch the HP utility to configure the printer. But when the screen appears with the list of available wifi networks, MyPrinterNetwork is not in the list. The list contains only the other wifi available through networks points (values in wifi mode column are all infrastructure) access. If I try to enter the name of a network manually, the software indicates that the printer cannot see or connect to this network.

    Executive Summary:

    -Someone would confirm that the printer Deskjet 3070 is able to connect to the ad-hoc wifi networks?

    -If so, why my adhoc network isn't in the list in the configuration utility?

    Thanks and greetings

    Hello Johnny.

    Deskjet 3070 Network Infrastructure support only, it does not support the ad-hoc connection.

    As you can find in the user manual:

    Traditional wireless connection (requires router)
    
    To connect the HP All-in-One to an integrated wireless WLAN 802.11 network, you will need the following:
    
    - A wireless 802.11b/g/n network that includes a wireless router or access point.
    NOTE: 802.11n will only support 2.4Ghz
    
     A desktop computer or laptop with either wireless networking support, or a network interface card (NIC). The computer must be connected to the wireless network that you intend to install the HP All-in-One on. 
    
    Page 33:http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02887357.pdf
    

    As an alternative, try feature that allows the mac to act as a router in Mac OS X internet sharing Infrastructure mode:

    http://docs.info.Apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mchlp1540.html

    A limitation, you should be aware, the Internet sharing security supports WEP in shared only authentication mode that is not supported by the printer you can find below:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02871178

    Therefore, you should keep sharing without security password in order to connect the printer to the network.

  • Unable to connect to the internet, no network adapter icon?

    I received a computer toshiba satellite laptop which should have windows 7 ultimate on, however it does not connect to the internet wireless or ethernet, I lived all the troubleshooting suggestions, but there is no network adapter icon to activate. The laptop was of an elderly aunt who barely used and was not very tech savvy so I don't think that its been damaged (it has not been used for some time) any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Are there devices listed as "other"?

    If there is, run as 'Administrator' Device Manager and do a right click, properties, [pilot tab] and try to "roll back driver" (I guess the update driver will not work if the PC is not connected to the internet, but it can also be worth a try)

    If this does not work, try to force the hardware detection - http://www.pctips3000.com/how-to-scan-windows-7-computer-for-newly-attached-hardware/

    If still no joy, use another PC to go to the support site for the brand/model PC and download the latest driver available for your PC and the operating system network card (32/64 bit, etc.) and transfer it to the PC via a USB or SD card. Then try to install it.

    BIOS - how you access the BIOS will depend on the brand / model of the PC and the BIOS itself, but it gives an example: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/ht/accessbios.htm give it a read and see if you can follow. Ensure that you change and not change things randomly.

    Hello

    If a computer is not properly visible it generally means that sharing is not set correctly to match your system.

    You must also set your computers with the computer account of the friend as a user on your computer.

    Everyone does not mean everyone wishing to connect.

    If the accounts are presented only for John, Jill and Jack, setting in the folder with all permissions saves the effort of definition permission separately for John, Jill and Jack.

    Everyone isn't everyone group, only John, Jill and Jack.

    In general.

    Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

    Group residential network = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

    Working network = fundamentally similar to previous methods of sharing that allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.

    Public share
    = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

    Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled).

  • Unable to connect to the internet after you have reinstalled Windows

    It came with Vista on it, but it is basically screwed up... There was no recovery disk... so I did a clean install with a XP disk... all right except that I can't get on the internet... In the OTHER DEVICES ethernet controller PCI device, PCI Modem, SM Bus controller, unknown device and video controller (VGA Compatible) are all highlighted with a yellow question mark... Try to find the driver with my son's computer, but everything I find says that there in an internet search... until this problem is fixed, I can't connect to internet... Help, please! Thank you!!

    Hi Dreman1970,

    ·         What is the brand and model of the computer?

    Of yellow exclamation, PCI Modem and other devices Ethernet controller describes the drivers necessary for the device are missing.

    I suggest you use another computer connected to the internet to find your manufacturer's Web site. Then you need to find the driver to download links for your computer model. Once you have downloaded the drivers, you can transfer them to your computer and install them. Once the drivers are installed, you will be able to connect to the internet.

    See the following article for more information on installing the drivers:

    When I try to connect to a modem GSM receives the error:
    "Network connection based on a mobile broadband connection failed with the error code: 1.

    (GSM card works properly in other devices)

    Hello

    According to the Microsoft Knowledge base, the error code 1 means that the device is not configured correctly.
    One of the reasons why the device isn't configured correctly might be missing a driver or the driver / software are configured incorrectly.

    Recommend you to check the configuration.

  • OTP-S6200 unable to connect to the Sony entertainment network

    I have a new BDP-S6200 and I can't connect to Sen. I have the network set up correctly which means that when I perform network diagnostics it reports 'network connections are correct. I've tried wired and wireless. One of the first things I did was download and install the update to firmware M21. R.0112.

    I also tried a reset and reconfiguration and turn off and unplug the unit for 10 seconds.

    System Information also indicates "LINK Connection Status: successful" and "Provisioning Server Connection Status" -"."

    Found a solution to my problem in another topic. It was to go to network settings and to change primary DNS Server 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 secondary DNS server. (Must manually configure your IP address, etc.). After that go to SEN which is the menu item right on my X-bar menus, press 'OPTIONS' on remote, select "Update List". At this point, since I've never been this well before, asked me to register the device to www.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com. Then it worked.

  • Unable to connect to the internet after the removal of important processes in the task bar

    I am not very tech-savvy then let me explain.

    I have a laptop Lenovo I recently bought in August 2014.  A friend suggested that I have download the free application "Open Office" in line, so I could open a school power point.  Open Office gave me a handful of viruses, which I managed to delete, then having served the system well, panic I accidentally opened the Task Manager and deleted a bunch of processes that are running.

    Now, I find that, although I am connected to WiFi, I can't open Internet.  I click on Firefox, but it shows that I am unable to connect to the Internet.

    Original title: I accidentally turned off the program that allows my computer to connect to the Internet

    Hi Tunasushiroll,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing and will certainly help you in the right direction to solve the problem.

    The problem can occur for various reasons, including incorrect TCP/IP settings configured, firewalls third of anti-virus programs blocking the connection, or due to bad the advanced sharing settings. So, I would suggest trying the following methods and check if you system is able to detect the wireless network.

    Method 1:

    Run the troubleshooter network first, and then test your Internet connection.

    Open the Network Troubleshooter by hitting on any fly in the Dashboard screen, quilting Search(or if you use a mouse, pointing to the top right of the screen, move the mouse down and then clicking search), entering the network troubleshooterin the search box, type, or by clicking settingsand then by typing or clicking on identify and fix network problems.

    If the problem persists, try the following method.

    Method 2:

    Second of all, please check if the WLAN service is started and set to automatic. If it is stopped, then I suggest you to start the service and set it to automatic.

    1. Press the Windows key + R, type services.msc in the Run dialog box and press ENTER.
    2. Select the Autoconfiguration WLAN service in the list and double-click it.
    3. Change the startup to Automatic type, then click Start to start the service.
    4. Click apply and then click OK.
    5. Restart the computer and verify if the network is detected. If this is not the case, go to method 3.

    Method 3:

    Reset the DNS and TCP/IP settings.

    1. Press the Windows key + X, click prompt (Admin).
    2. Please enter the following commands and press ENTER after each one.

      netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt
      netsh winsock reset
      ipconfig/registerdns
      ipconfig/flushdns
      ipconfig/release

    3. Restart the computer to check the issue.

    Check if the system is able to detect the network. If this is not the case, go to method 4.

    Method 4:
    Temporarily disable the security software (if any), and check if it helps.

    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.

  • Satellite C660-1NJ - unable to connect to the wireless network

    Hi guys

    I got a 1nj c660 and I have a wireless connection to a Fritzbox 7170.

    Now, this morning, everything was fine and I connected wonderfully, but now I can't connect no settings have been changed I just stop and start as usual. I used configfree and it shows the network but if I try to connect it says unable to connect to the network. I have Win7 home basic OS.

    I uninstalled the wireless network card and reinstalled, updated the drivers but nothing works, I still get the same error.

    Can someone help will appreciate it greatly!

    Hello

    Are you able to connect to open WLan?
    I mean you can try to disable security options in your Fritzbox and might test whether you are able to connect without the WEP, WPA or other safety standards.
    Of course, you should only done for testing purposes

    If this box works, then it means that the security of your router settings were not consistent with the settings of the Wlan card.

  • Satellite L650 - unable to connect to the public network (has no valid IP address)

    Hello

    Toshiba satellite L650 laptop computer (with windows 7 64-bit), I bought two days back and I'm unable to connect to the public network. Sometimes, it must be connected to the public network and after a few minutes it disconnects. I get the message "wireless network doesn't have a valid IP configuration him."

    I have visited many forums and did everything, but of no use.

    1. people with disabilities the tcp/ip V6 of the registry.
    2. the DHCP is enabled. With the help of the automatic IP (DHCP)
    3. also tried with a static IP configuration.
    4. uninstalled the antivirus provided with laptop computer (Norton).
    5 disabled the windows firewall.
    6. restored to factory settings.

    I called Toshiba Tech support as well and they have suggested that it may be a problem of H/W but I don't think that so that it can be hardware problem because sometimes he must be connected to the public network. Now I'm left with no option except return the laptop to Toshiba (I'm less interested in this because I know that sending laptop for replacement will be more frustrating).

    Can someone please give some other suggestions for this problem?

    Hey,.

    Can you connect to your home WIFI router correctly?

    If you have problems with the public network connection, you should ask the owner of these networks. Usually, there is always a contact, you can ask if you have any problems with the connection.

    What you can try is updated WLAN driver from Toshiba's official website:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

    If it doesn't work, ask the person contact I mentioned.
