Unable to connect to the internet after you perform the recovery on the laptop.

Original title: after recovery on my computer dell laptop running Windows XP

I have a laptop Dell circa 2004 with windows XP Professional on it. I contacted a bug of some kind and it was very slow and the fan even stopped working. My only choice was to use the disk installation and F8 to recover the laptop. After that I got all going again once I tried to set up a new connection and it doesn't seem to know that I have a wireless adapter or the ability to connect wirelessly. Any body can help me to understand why it does this?

Hi Phillacio,

In addition to the procedure step by step proposed by Shenan Stanley, you can download the network drivers from the website of Dell support on another computer, bring to this laptop computer using a flash drive and install them first.

Then follow all the steps above one by one, and your laptop should work great.

Response with the State of the question and we say if it worked or not.

Thank you!

  • Unable to connect to wireless internet after Windows Vista update on 16/09/10

    Since I've updated windows I cannot access my wireless internet connection, however, I am still able to connect via the LAN port.

    If I check my ipconfig it says under the "media disconnected" wireless network connection  I tried to get my IP address into my settings because they seem to have disappeared, but I can't always wireless.  I ran all Windows diagnostic tools, but all say that the internet connection is fine (due to it being connected by the LAN port).

    I also tried to fix it by other solutions on this forum, that is

    Hello

    I tried everything above without result.  However, I managed to reinstall my wireless router software after having repaired my DVD driver software.  I restarted my computer and Wireless does not work.  Reinstalled the software new and restarted the computer, and then after a short period of time the computer connected to wireless internet!  Not know not why the remedy has been delayed or why it did not work after the first attempt, but it connects wireless now - what I know is that this problem occurred after an update of Windows, it's a shame that Microsoft failed to address this problem as it was their update it as many other people have also claimed.

  • Wired laptop but unable to connect to the laptop wireless wireless PC can connect cable PC OK

    I have a wired network on whiich, I connected a WAP54G access point for my laptop wireless to children. They are never anything other that connect to the internet, so I never noticed this before. Now, I bought my own laptop and that you want to connect from my main computer but the laptop is not visible on the network. I then connected directly on the laptop to the network wired through an ethernet cable, and it was visible from the wired PC as you would expect. Back fi he returned invisible.

    Does anyone have ideas, what could cause this behavior?

    Thanks for all your comments

    Presumably using your XP or Vista!

    You need to change network settings into the laptop to allow remote connections according to the directives of the wired connection.

    You will also need to make changes to the false firewall XP/Vista has as well.

    FYI: The WAP54G has no way to filter all network traffic, so the question is not to the AP.

  • Printer on Windows 7 PC, unable to connect with the laptop with Vista

    I have a Lexmark 2600 Series printer on a Windows 7 32-bit computer.  I am not able to connect to the printer with Vista laptop for my wife.  I can share files and see the printer.  I try to connect and I get "Windows cannot connect to the printer. Impossible operation completed (error 0x000003eb). "I tried to install locally and change the path without success.  Any help would be much appreciated.

    Hi Zyfot,

    First of all, I would say that you add the printer on the vista computer and check.

    1. open Printers by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, hardware and soundand then click Printers.
    2. click on Add a printer.
    3. in the Add Printer Wizard, select Add a network, wireless or Bluetooth printer.
    4. in the list of available printers, select the one you want to use, and then click Next. If your computer is connected to a network, only printers listed in Active Directory for your domain are displayed in the list.
    5. If prompted, install the printer driver on your computer. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    6. follow the steps in the wizard and then click Finish.

    You must be logged on as administrator to perform these steps.

    1. open Administrative Tools by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type Administrative Tools, and then click Administrative Tools.
    2. double-click on Services. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Community forum.

    As you mentioned after formatting the system, you cannot connect to a wireless router, I recommend updating the firmware on your router and updates your wireless network adapter drivers, as there might be a chance that the wireless drivers are deleted.

    The majority of connection inside Windows 7 problems have been resolved by installing the latest driver for the wireless card with obtained from the manufacturer. Download and install the Windows 7 compatible drivers and check whether the problem is resolved.

    You can refer to the link provided below to update the drivers from the manufacturer's website.

    DELL drivers.

    If the problem persists, I suggest you try the below mentioned methods and see if it helps you to solve the problem.

    Method 1:

    First of all, I suggest you run Windows built-in network troubleshooting to get the problem automatically detected and corrected.

  • Firefox said it is unable to connect to the net but IE and the signal is strong

    Firefox has been great until this afternoon. Then all of a sudden it gave me an error message that he was "unable to connect." "" The laptop thinks it entirely connected wireless to the Homehub. I have been in contact with BT that kept me in line with IE and say that the problem is with Firefox. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox and I'm still getting the message that it is unable to connect. Help, please!
    PS Firefox works perfectly on my desk.

    One possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or limits Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

    Delete all rules for Firefox in the list of permissions in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

    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.

    Thank you.

    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.

And the router sees my laptop and authenticates.   Ipconfig all withdrew them.  Information using fixed ip.  DHCP has never worked on this laptop because I have owned. I have tried many many suggestions on this support site that none have worked.  Any other ideas?  We did even restart router as a cause, it seems to resolve DNS names.  We don't have a dedicated dns server is just the router.  It seems even with fixed DNS the ip in the ip settings the router which is what we always used, it does not work.  I could not enter information in the lower body so had to go into the details here.  So I think it boils down to this... When I installed sp3 there is something that makes dns does not resolve so even though I can ping, be pinger and am authenticate to the net again I can not access resources or inet.  Help please.  No support for sp2 more but most everything worked fine.  Had a problem so I decided to go ahead and install and that's what happened.  Have uninstalled and reinstalled with the same results.

  • Unable to connect to the main DNS server when you try to access the internet

    Computer has worked fine for the year last until 2 weeks ago and now unable to connect to the internet.

    Windows Vista on broadband and services connected directly to the modem by ethernet.  Provider Internet has run tests and confirmed modem is fine and it's like my laptop runs very well on it.

    Re-initialization of the modem, internet works and you can type in a few places and it seems OK, but you can't do anything on a site, it is, enter the details and even if you try and enter anything, you can usually view 2 sites and then it goes again.  However, the network icon shows that on and connected to the internet.

    The diagnosis, it is said that he cannot access the primary DNS server.

    Do you have any idea how I can fix this or should I just completely re - install windows from the original disk set?

    A few things you can try...  [This will be the Windows to try to automatically fix your connection]

    Open 'Network and sharing Center' (you can search for it in the Vista Start menu)

    Under tasks, click on "diagnose and repair".

    If this fails, you can try...  [This will use the NETSHell utility to RESET your network interface (removes all static configurations and sets DHCP)]

    Open a command prompt (you can also search for it on the start menu in Vista, if you have this OPTION enabled, you need to start as administrator)
    The type of command line: NETSH INTERFACE IP RESET. JOURNAL

    If you still have problems, try to post your IPCONFIG/all, file HOSTS and ROUTE PRINT on this forum.

    How to:

    IPCONFIG/ALL
    Open the command prompt and type: IPCONFIG/all
    To save the output to a file simply type at the command prompt: IPCONFIG/all > filename.txt

    Your HOSTS file is located in the following path (the HOSTS file does not have an extension, it is simply named "HOSTS"):
    %windir%\system32\drivers\etc\HOSTS
    or
    C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\ETC\HOSTS

    ROUTE PRINT
    Open the command prompt and type: ROUTE PRINT
    To save the output to a file simply type at the command prompt: ROUTE PRINT > filename.txt

    PS: If it becomes really hairy, you can provide NETSH DUMP (this provides virtually all network configurations)... You certainly shouldn't need to re - install Windows.  There is probably a setting of network configuration problem that causes this problem.  Good luck!
