  • Internet connection down, windows 8, reset wireless network adapter

    I am running windows 8 on a computer laptop dv6 HP Envy and my internet connection keeps falling every few minutes.  This is due to the wireless network card and I have to reset the connection manually each time.  Even plugged into my modem, the connection drops.  I had my ISP reset the modem, tested and it works fine.  My connection is still down because of my network card.  Help, please.

    If you run the dism.exe / online/cleanup-image /restorehealth it may very well be able to fix the corrupted files. If necessary reruns sfc / scannow.  Hope this helps and if you need another post to help and we will be happy to help you.

    If I try to connect to a wireless network, that nothing is happening.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8610: Unable to connect 2 laptop HP Officejet Pro 8610

    I have 2 HP laptops each with Win7 (64 bit) SP1 and I'm trying to connect to the computer laptop 2nd in an OfficeJet Pro8610 to print wireless.  I tried using the CD rom and download the drivers online but I can connect this laptop to the printer.  I get to a point where the login process requires the printers claim id code but when I enter the code I got a message that this code is already in use (the other laptop is connected wireless) and in order to connect, I have to delete the other laptop.  I am at a loss here because I had both the same laptops connected to my old 6700 OfficeJet and could print without any problem installing wireless at all.

    What I'm missing here with the 8610?  Thank you

    The code you enter is likely to set up ePrint for the printer address.  Once this has been done it is not necessary to do it again.

    An alternative is that the laptop is connected directly to the printer with direct wireless wireless.  In this case, you will need to disconnect the laptop computer from the printer to use the other laptop.

    A better configuration would be to connect the printer to your router wither wireless or cable LAN cable.  It would give the IP address which you can find by pressing the front panel of the printer to the printer (if the printer is in mode "sleep"), then tap the wireless at the bottom of the screen.  This will bring up the LAN wireless status, where you can find the IP address of the printer.

    You should be able to set up the printer with the driver available at http://www.hp.com/go/toolsinstallation wizard.

  • Unable to connect to laptop E1200 Vista.

    I recently installed a router E1200 to a friend.  We have all two laptop computers HP running Vista.  Mine connects wireless ok but its not working.  Network and share on his watch Center a connection between the laptop and the router, and the router is identified correctly.  But the link is broken between the router and the internet.  I made a little troubleshooting before I ran out of time.

    I have configured the router using the Cisco Connect cd.  Did not have a USB key, I went to every computer laptop and added a profile wireless to the router using the same Type of security (WPA Personal), Type of encryption (AES) and security key.  Mine connects, the sound is not.

    IPCONFIG/ALL shows that the two laptops got IP addresses in the DHCP of the router range.  The list of DHCP clients on the router shows the same.  I tried to reboot the router, remove and add new profiles, the same results.  Apart from the IP addresses and mac the IPCONFIG/all are identical.

    I won't be able to get there for a few days. I have a list of things to try and hoped that someone would have other suggestions.

    His laptop is Vista SP1 and mine is at SP2 and other patches because I run automatic updates.  I intend to bring his laptop to the latest patch levels.  Our wireless adapter models are also different, so I'm going to download the latest drivers for its.

    I'm going to update the firmware on the router if necessary and return the router to its default configuration.

    I'll use Cisco Connect to reconfigure the router and change the SSID and the installation time keys create.

    I'll set up two laptops using the setup button and see if they connect.

    I read something about a broadcast flag DHCP between some routers and Vista problem.  There is a registry edit fix for the problem of Microsoft, but it does seem to apply in this case because the IP addresses are assigned correctly

    Any help will be most appreciated.

    Install the Atheros HP sp48070.exe patch solved the problem.

    Thanks for your help.

    Thanks in advance :)

    Reema,

    There are several solutions here and you have not specified what solution you have already tried and did not work. Check the posts here and specify what solutions did not work for your question.

    Additionally, you mention that you tried "installation of the wireless network" in Safe Mode. This means it that you were able to connect mode without failure, but not in the Windows? If so, you should try a clean boot to identify the item or service responsible for the error:

  • Unable to connect my laptop XP Prof on printer Officejet J6450 AIO usb (in network)

    Due to some problems of scanning, I have reinstalled my AIO on my USB port of office instead of the old Dell (Windows 7-64) ethernet link. However, I'm unable to connect from my laptop with XP Pro. I downloaded and installed the latest version of the software of full J6450 and can do a test print, but cannot access the printer through the center of Solution, that's why the scanner and other features are not available from the laptop. Also, is anyone know hence the hp software file is extracted to so I can re - run the Setup file?

    The IOA has a w/l button, so I'll try an instalation w/l on the laptop.

    Hello Tracer_C

    Thanks for responding. The error was 'the scan cannot be performed because another program or computer uses... ". "The w/l installation was successful, after that several unsuccessful attempts. (I accept the blame for it). After 2 or 3 tries, I noticed the obligation to connect the printer to the USB port of the laptop to install the drivers. Apres_que the drivers have been installed the software it reset the network, and it does not connect until I plugged in the printer on the desktop).

    I thought I could do a no-w/l installation, but it is just as well, because I don't often print the laptop anyway, so I can keep the w/l off on the router function until I need to print from the laptop.

    I found the installation for Xp folder: C:\Documens and Settings\Temp\7Z***.tmp\Setup.exe Settings\nom of utilisateur\Local.

  • Unable to connect via radio - impossible to obtain network address

    All,

    I had to restore this laptop due to virus problems (my daughter system..).  I have put back it and it works except that I am unable to connect to the wireless network.  It says 'Acquiring Network Address' and goes then to the "Limited or no connectivity."

    Here are the details:

    System:

    Inspiron 1300 - XP Pro SP2

    Dell Wireless 1370 WLAN Mini-PCI Card

    Parameters:

    o use Windows to configure the verified wireless network

    o in Dell Wireless Utility, unchecked "let this tool manage your network."

    o WZC: start & automatic

    o TCP/IP: Obtain IP automatically and obtain DNS automatically

    I took action:

    o reloaded all drivers available for my service tag, including the pilot for

    the network card

    o went through all the Dell relevant troubleshooting steps

    o I have a different laptop that connects to the wireless network and I

    compared the parameters between the systems of work and non-working - they

    seem to be the same (another pc and card)

    o the 'bad' system can connect to the network via ethernet cable

    The status bar displays the network icon (pc screen) with yellow trinangle and!

    and 5 green bars for the network card has an excellent signal with unknown status.

    I'm not clear on the question of whether Windows or the utility of the card should be network management; I tried both to no avail.  I'm basically out of options to try and hoping someone can help me.

    Please let me know if there are any additional necessary information.

    Thank you in advance for your help!
