Unable to connect to wireless internet; can only connect to the network, saying "Local only" or "limited connectivity".

I have problems to connect to any wireless internet - home, library, coffee shops.  He used to work, began to get in trouble (i.e. could not connect sometimes to the diner, but works in the library) and now does not connect to internet AT ALL wireless.

Only connects to the network saying "local only".  And I'm lucky even get that much.  Furthermore, I don't know if it's a router problem or what, but it does not even accept the password for my home network (my boyfriend has no problem on the internet with Windows 7 and the current router password).

I use a HP G60 laptop (maybe?), I don't remember the model exactly.  Windows Vista.  I am frustrated beyond belief.  I took the computer to Best Buy and the man suggested that contact Microsoft because, in his own words, "this seems to be a very common problem with the adapter wireless in Windows Vista".

In summary: is it a hardware or a software problem?  It seems to be a software problem that can have an impact on the material.  Nevertheless, what can I do to fix this?  Y at - it a software update, I need to try for my wireless card?

This computer is not yet a year old, and already I am unable to use it for the internet.  Not very well I plug my ethernet cable router wireless in the library.  I bought a laptop for a reason, but it is on track to achieve more like a desktop.  Very disappointing.

Someone, please help!

Hello

When the man from BestBuy, fortunately for us technology is not a cleaning product, there is no way of knowing if someone puts his hand on it and knowing what is wrong rather than moving oral reprimand...

First step, log on to the HP support and download the latest drivers for your wireless card.

The HPG60 is a very good phone but its wireless card has problems with old drivers.

In which case it's a hardware problem, contact HP support.

In general, you can use this process to find out what's wrong with the wireless.

Most laptops have a physical switch for the wireless card. Read the manual of the computer and make sure that the wireless adapter is on.

Check the Device Manager for the wireless card valid entry.

http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_dm.jpg

If there is no valid entry, remove any entry from fake and re - install the drivers for the wireless card.

Check network connections to make sure that you have a network icon/entry wireless connection, and that the properties of the icon (right-click on the icon) are correctly configured with the TCP/IPv4 protocol in the properties of network connections.

http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_connection_tcp.jpg

Make sure that if there is Wireless Utility a utility vendor is not running with the native Windows wireless utility.

Make sure you firewall No. preventing / blocks wireless components to join the network.

Above everything is OK and it connects to the wireless router. Log in from any computer which is, or can be connected to the router with a wire wireless, disable wireless security, make sure that the wireless streaming is enabled and try to connect with no. wireless security.

When the work turns on the Wireless security.

Note * people sometimes make mistakes in writing and retype the password for security.

Another way is to copy in the menu of the router and then paste it when asked of the wireless card.

--------------------------------------------------

I really checked and configured every thing and it doesn't work.

Software firewall application that is not configured to allow local traffic (between the computer and the router is also a possible problem.
some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

  • Windows XP cannot see that the internet can only see LAN

    We have a small network in my house. My router was set to WEP security (I know its too old, but my windows xp laptop computer does not work with WPA or newer). And I also added mac filtering for more security addresses. This network has worked well for 2 years.

    Meanwhile in a cell phone (that has windows XP sp3) so its wireless network broke, and we couldn't get living, then we just plugged on the router via a cable.

    Recently I had to reset my router because I forgot a password and I could add anything to the mac filter list.

    After that, I put at 'the original' for example WEP + mac filtering (only the passwords have been changed).

    Now everything is working fine, 2 laptops (both Windows 7 a), 2 readers, network all our phones smart etc can connect again, the only laptop (with Windows XP) problem.

    The XP laptop can see LAN (two disks) and router only (ping works), but in any browser (firefox, chrome, iexplorer) give me a Web site cannot loaded in the background: error 105, Err_name_not_resolved.

    I tried names ping (google.com) and different ip addresses (for example my ISP dns server address) but I get no answer 100% packet loss. I tried a lot of things that they did not help

    (1) has tried to change my XP for some fix + fix dns ip (I found these adressis in my router configuration/network configuration)
    (2) then I put back to dynamic ip once again in the line of cmd ipconfig release, ipconfig/reset, etc., I checked all addresses was going well everywhere (I mean gateway, DHCP server, dns server, looked well with dynamic ip too)

    Hi Robert,.

    Thank you for updating us the status of the case.

    I suggest that temporarily disable you the firewall.

    I recommend you to test name resolution

    A DNS server provides host name resolution. If you cannot connect to a server on the Internet by using its FQDN, there could be a problem with the DNS configuration of your dial-up connection to your ISP or DNS server of your ISP.

    To determine if there is a problem with the DNS configuration of your dial-up to your ISP connection, follow these steps:

    a. at a command prompt, type ipconfig/all, and then press ENTER to display the IP address of your DNS server. If the IP address of your DNS server does not appear, contact your ISP for the IP address of your DNS server.

    (b) to verify that your computer can communicate with your DNS server, ping IP address of your DNS server. The response looks like this:

    Rattling #. ###. ###. # with 32 bytes of data:

    Response to #. ###. ###. #: bytes = 32 time = 77ms TTL = 28
    Response to #. ###. ###. #: bytes = 32 time = 80ms TTL = 28
    Response to #. ###. ###. #: bytes = 32 time = 78ms TTL = 28
    Response to #. ###. ###. #: bytes = 32 time = 79ms TTL = 28

    The series of digital signs (#. #. #. #) represents the IP address of the DNS server.

    If you can't ping the IP address of the DNS server successfully, contact your ISP to verify that you are using the IP address and the DNS server is working properly.
     
    When you have verified the correct IP address of your DNS server, update the settings of your connection to your ISP's dial-up TCP/IP. To change or add a valid IP address for your DNS server for a dial-up Networking phonebook entry, follow these steps:

    a. in Control Panel, double-click network connections.

    b. right click on your Internet connection, click Properties and then click the network tab.

    c. click the Internet Protocol adapter, and then click Properties.

    d. click use the following DNS server address, and then type the correct IP address in the preferred DNS server box.

    e. click OK, and then click OK again.

    Hello

    Good luck, you need technical support for a real computer store or system manufacturer is supported.

    Your router could be suspicious here, you have successfully updated its firmware as a possible solution? And I would like to
    Update your WiFi drivers on computers. How you are positioned in the router? Are there
    obstacles in the path?

    Actually try updating your driver and disabling the network logon. You can download these on another
    computer if you need to and transfer on removable media.

    Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write
    version - click the driver update (cannot do something that MS is far behind the pilots of certification). Then
    Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

    Download - SAVE - go where you put it - right click – RUN AS ADMIN.

    You can download several at once however restart after the installation of each of them.

    After watching the system manufacturer, you can check the manufacturer of the device an even newer version. (The
    manufacturer of system become your backup policies).

    Repeat for card (NIC) network and is a good time to get the other updated drivers as Vista like
    updated drivers.

    I would also turn off auto update for the drivers. If the updates Windows suggests a just HIDE as they
    are almost always old, and you can search drivers manually as needed.

  • HP 15-r099sm (Ralink RT3290 Wireless Adapter) can't find my WiFi network

    I bought my HP 15 a few days ago and since yesterday (after that I restarted) it does not find my network. Also, sometimes he finds all the surrounding networks, sometimes one or two, sometimes none, but it never shows mine.

    All my other devices connect to the network just fine and also when I connect to the laptop via a cable internet Ethernet works normally. I tried to reinstall the card and the driver, but nothing happens, the problem is still there. What should I do?

    Hey xdujex,

    Indeed, it is quite confusing.

    The only other things I could suggest would be to restore the laptop to until the problem started. I know your laptop is fairly new but it might help to avoid being without the unit while for repair isn't worth it.

    If this does not work, you can try a system restore to wipe everything and see if the problem comes back. Save your information and give it a try.

    If it does not solve the problem that the next step would be to ask the HP support by phone for service options. You can contact HP Technical Support at 1-800-474-6836 in North America. For all other regions click here.

  • Internet not working not but the laptop says it's connected to the modem and "Internet access".

    My laptop says it's connected to our modem and having 'Internet access'. However, I can't use the Internet on any of my browsers. I tried to turn my Wi - Fi, and who have done nothing. I also tried to restart my laptop and modem, but who didn't do anything either. I checked the Device Manager to see if the NETWORK card worked properly. It said it was working fine. Unless it's lying to me. I plugged in an Ethernet cable to my laptop, but I still couldn't get on the Internet. I ran my computer in safe mode with networking with an ethernet cable but still could not access the Internet. I don't know what the problem is.

    I used troubleshooting and that's what he came back to me:
    "The connection between your access point, router or cable modem and the Internet is broken."
    I did what he told me to and restarted my modem... once again. It did not work.

    Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?

    I have the same problem.  My internet connection seems fine.  I can connect to the internet on my laptop to the company, xbox 360, roku and my cell phone, but not my laptop from Sony.  When I check the connection it says its fine but when I run a diagnostic it says "the DNS server is not responding."  I checked with my cable company and that they 'refreshed' my signal, but it would not connect.  Even than your wi - fi network or directly with an ethernet cable.

    If someone could help us both appreciate it.

  • 7210 driver installed ok but can't find on the network

    Hello and thanks in advance for reading.

    I have an Officejet 7210.

    I used on a network before without any problem, but put in place years ago. Since I used it on a USB connection, but wanted to get on the network, we can print wireless.

    Currently it is wired to my router Linksys and I have assigned a static IP address of 192.168.1.148. This laptop is connected to the same wireless network, and from there I have no problem connecting to http://192.168.1.148 in a web browser to access the config and can also send a scan job through as well without any problems.

    However, I can't understand how to add this printer at all so I can send print jobs. I have no success adding.

    I use XP and installed HP multi-function products driver Bundle - Corporate only from this page. After that it extracted the files in the folder HP_WebRelease, I ran setup.exe it and he reportedly installed a bunch of stuff, but did not attempt to actually find the printer. When I tried to add the printer via the standard start > settings > printers and faxes, I can't recognize my printer on the network, and if I put http://192.168.1.148 in the URL field, it is not successful.

    I tried to uninstall all printer software HP of Add/Remove Programs, and then restart, then install this same company pilot beam once again, which had no effect.

    I then returned to the same page of the HP driver and tried to install the software/driver of basic function of HP . Same results with this one. But I do not think that I took the time to uninstall everything completely from the Group of companies.

    If someone could suggest my next step to get this object linked, I would really appreciate it!

    Thank you

    Mark in SF

    Mark,

    I think that you will need followi the instructions in the Readme file in the extracted directory. On XP, it should be here:

    C:\temp\HP_WebRelease\Setup\Enterprise\readme

    If you want to do a full manual installation, the sequence for XP:

    1. Click on the 'Start' button--> printers and fax machines.
    2. Under print jobs, click on "add a printer".
    3. Click 'Next' in the Add Printer Wizard window.
    4. Select "local printer attached to this computer. Deselect "automatically detect and install my Plug and play printer." Click "next".
    5. Under Select a Printer Port option, select "Create a new port" and choose "Standard TCP/IP Port" and click "Next".
    6. In the "Welcome to the Add Standard TCP/IP printer port Wizard" make sure that the printer is enabled and configured. Click on the button "next".
    7. Under "Add Standard TCP/IP Printer Port" enter the IP address of the printer (normally I would put the name of the printer here, but you use a static IP address for the printer). Click 'Next' and then click 'Finish '.
    8. Now, select HP in the manufacturers list, select your printer in the list of the models of printers and click the button "next".
    9. Keep the existing driver and click "next".
    10. Add the name of print spooler, and then click "next".
    11. Click "next".
    12. Click "Next" and "Finish."
  • two computers on a network (wireless) but three show upward in the network folder

    I have a Dell Inspiron under Vista x 64 (server) and a Dell Vostro, computer laptop, running on Vista x 86 (client) and a printer (USB Server) network associated with a Cisco WRT400N... everything works fine. However, in the network folder, on computer, I get an icon for a third computer. When it is explored it looks exactly like my server... but it has its own unique name... and I have only the above two networked computers. I worked with a Cisco service representative yesterday to ensure that all goes well with my router. I don't know I've caused this... now... can someone tell me how to UN-cause it?

    Hi runslong,

    It is possible that computers on the same network can be duplicate themselves.

    I suggest that you disable the discovery of the network on the computer and later get back, check if it works.

    To turn off network discovery
    a. open the network and sharing Center by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, click network and Internet, click network and sharing Center.
    b. click turn off network discovery, and then click apply. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    Enable or disable network discovery
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/enable-or-disable-network-discovery

    If the previous step fails, then I suggest that you unplug all the devices connected to the network and then reconfigure the new network, check if it works.

    I hope this helps!

  • Pro 8000 Wireless with incompatible IP address to the network

    I installed a Pro 8000 A809 wireless printer to my wireless network. It cannot establish a connection with my laptop running Vista wireless. The diagnosis of HP network attributes the cause to different IP addresses on the printer (169.254.29.69) and the Microsoft Vista laptop (192.168.1.xx). A unique SSID is used and there is no local network using the same SSID. The router is a Linksys WRT54G with a range extender WRET54G. The laptop and a wireless printer make contact through the range extender.

    To access the settings of the printer through the IP address of the printer results in Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer, a Page load error (can not find the page). I ping the printer successfully using his IP address, so it is really seen by the router... All HP software has been updated. Still no connection.

    Is there another way to change the printer wireless settings? I tried to reinstall the HP software with the same results.

    Kind regards

    Jim...

    Thank you. I had already downloaded the network diagnostic and he pointed out that the printer was not on the same network. I solved the problem by using an ethernet cable between the laptop and the printer. The diagnosis reported then one network address different IP (169.254.223.86) for the installation of the printer. I was able to access this page and set the IP address to the correct network. It works fine now.

    Kind regards
