• Results of Toshiba Connectivity Doctor or Vista network & sharing Center

  I bought a 802.11n router to allow additional coverage of my Toshiba with a 802.11n Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN give me and I never seemed to get the extra than I expected! I tried etc. Since a few weeks I got the laptop, and was beginning to lose patience and hope of ever is it solved, however I just noticed something that only confused me even further!

  I always use the connection to a network/network and sharing centre within Vista OS under my control, "connection status" of my networks etc. & it has never showed that the network which should give me ' isn't a 'g '! But earlier I found and used the Toshiba connectivity doctor, and I found it is sometimes shows the connection as a 'n', but still the Vista "connect to a network & Vista network and sharing Center" show the same broadcasting as a 'g '!

  What should I take as the most accurate, I have little additional coverage when I used to have a portable 'g' and a router 'g', but perhaps remotely an additional 2 meters which, depending on how wonderfully better is the "n" does not seem to live up to the expectation!

  I based my results of the exact coverage, physician connectivity Toshiba or Vista network sharing Center, they can be opened at the same time and showing the different results? I do not understand why they say different things? Crikey Ca? s driving me crazy!

  Hi friend

  already tried INTEL drivers? Theres a special broadcast of the site just about your wireless card, so if you please, visit this site and download the drivers from here:

  http://support.Intel.com/support/wireless/WLAN/4965AGN/

  Maybe it s just a driver related problem. And another suggestion: use a single program to connect to wireless networks. Maybe they cause some internal conflicts in the system which turns off the feature n.

  Oh, and Don t forget to check the properties of the device manager/network on some technical parameters. Perhaps, it must be explicitly enabled, also on your router.

• Satellite Pro L40 with realtek card: cannot see wlan Vista networks

  Hey

  You just bought the L40 (Realtek card) and it cannot see wireless networks. The diagnosis of Vista, is that the wireless adapter must be turned on. Then, it will fail to start. Function key and F8 (wireless on/off switch) does nothing.

  The wireless router is well - connected to an XP machine. I can connect to the router without a problem by using an ethernet cable.

  Running on the latest Microsoft drivers.

  Pointers much appreciated.

  Thank you
  Frank

  Hello

  you turned on the wireless the case switch on "ON"? Maybe you forgot this one, and this is perhaps the reason why it won´t work.

  Please check and make sure that you then use the FN + F8 switch.

  Would appreciate your comments on this...

• Windows XP and Vista network

  I have two computers on the same workgroup "HOME", connected to a Verizon router via a connection to the local network, so they should now be able to see each other, right? But how is it my desktop Windows XP SP3 can network with my laptop Windows XP SP2 (now corrupt), but not with a laptop Vista Business SP2? The Vista can "detect" the XP and all shared on this topic, but does not know what to do with it in the network map. However, even after installing the LLTD thing on my XP desktop (which failed, because it is SP3 and didn't need it), it does not even detect the Vista. What should I do?

  Here are the steps of general network troubleshooting. Just cannot apply to your situation, so just take the bits that are. It may seem daunting, but if you follow the steps in the links and suggestions below calmly and consistently, you will have no difficulty to implement your sharing.

  Excellent, comprehensive, but easy to understand article on sharing files/printer under Vista. Contains information about sharing printers and files, and the folders:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx

  For XP, start by running the Network Setup Wizard the on all machines (see warning in section A below).

  Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused by 1) a misconfigured firewall or a firewall neglected (including a dynamic firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently run two firewalls such as the firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall. and/or (3) do not have accounts to the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup. (4) tries to create actions where the operating system does not.

  A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, it means which allows file sharing / print on the Exceptions tab normally run the XP Network Setup Wizard will take care of this for these machines. The only "witch hunt", it will turn on the Windows Firewall. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus/security with its own firewall component program, then you're fine.  With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Refer to the safety of any third party program or the user forums for how to correctly configure its firewall. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

  (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This is done from the System applet in Control Panel, the computer name tab.

  (C) in Vista, turn on password protected sharing. Create accounts of users and corresponding passwords on all machines. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to boot directly to the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you can do this:

  XP - set up Windows to automatically connect (MVP Ramesh) - http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Autologon.htm

  Vista - Start ORB > Search > type: netplwiz [Enter]
  Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

  Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

  D. Si one or more of the computers is XP Pro or Media Center, turn off Simple file sharing (Folder Options > view tab).

  E. create share as you wish. XP Home does not share the users directory or the Program Files, but you can share folders inside those directories. A better choice is to simply use the Shared Documents folder. See the first link above for more information on Vista sharing.

  F. you have the job of file sharing (and tested by exchanging a file between machines), if you want to share a printer connected locally to one of your computers, share of this machine. Then go to the printer mftr Web site. and download the latest drivers for the correct system. Install them on the target machines. The printer must be collected during the installation procedure. If this isn't the case, install the drivers and then use the Add Printer Wizard. In some cases, printers must be installed as local printers, but it is outside this response.

• Vista - > slow to a Vista client vista network printer - connection

  I have a Vista computer with printers and two computers sharing portable conecting to it over ethernet.
  Print to the shared printer is a portable XP without problem. FRM the vista customer it takes a long time to print our a page for example internet exproler show does not and after 5 minutes I got the print dialog box and when you press OK, it "does not" for another 5 minutes before the actual start of printing.
  I tried to remove/connect printer, update the network, software drivers of registry fix etc.
  When you run FixIt MS it takes about 5 minutes to connect, 5 minutes to check ink cartridges etc but not problem is presented at the end after 25 minutes :-)
  Printer is HP PSC 2110 all-in-one, but I don't think that is the question.
  In addition to printing the rest of the machine Vista works fine.

  No idea what to try next?

  Hello

  It has proved to be a problem with the dns timeouts

  When ping was a slow response because dns has expired (the provider dhcp) and then I guess that wins or similar was used to find the ip address. When you add the name of printerserver and intellectual property on the vista pc that has solved the problem.

• Problem with wireless - Vista Network and Sharing Center does not recognize my connection!

  I use the Home Visa software and my network and sharing Center does not recognize my connection but I can access the internet without any problem. Previously, I was using a wireless router Linksys with an old box of AT & T internet with no problems. The problems started after I updated my AT & T internet box that made obsolete the linksys router and now the network share does not connect. I just have the problem of getting the network and sharing device recognizing that I am actually connected to a wireless network. I can't use my printer or share files with other people. I can't get my wireless printer to work if I restart my computer and I have the documents I want printed already sent to the printer. My network and sharing Center also works very well for a few seconds when I start my computer then it turns off again.

• Backup Vista network wireless on PC Client

  I've seen many comments in this regard, but fail to find a clear solution.

  The scenario...

  My Vista Premium client is wired to a modem/router ADSL Wireless.  The customer has a second 1 TB HARD drive installed to be used only for backups.  The issue is trying to save a Vista laptop wireless using the Vista backup program in system tools.  Both computers use the same workgroup name.

  I have created a shared folder on the backup drive called "laptop".  All actions necessary and safety issues are resolved.  I can create a file on the laptop and send it in without a problem drive backup destination folder.  When you run the Vista backup program, it creates a shot and then fails on the transfer immediately complain of not being able to access the folder (which is the correct path).  I have to admit, even getting to this point has been a task.  Understand the actions, security issues and password problems.  This is clearly a problem with the backup program, and I think probably related to security issues regarding the backup authentication protocol.  There, someone has a solution, and I sure can't find it around Ms.  It's funny how W7 doesn't have this problem.

  Hello

  In principle, when you have a mistake like that it shows lack of configuration on the remote computer is correct.

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

  Maybe this can help.

  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.

  For the best newspaper of the results of each computer screen system and together all computers on a network of the same name, while each computer has its own unique name.

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

  Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

  General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq.html#trusted
  Please Note that 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 you end up with the 3rd party software uninstalled or disabled, make sure that Windows native firewall is active .

  Network Win 7 with another version of Windows as a work network (works very well if all computers are Win 7 also).

  If you have permission and security issues with Vista/Win7, check the following settings.

  Point to a folder that wants to share do right click and choose Properties.

  In the properties

  Click on the Security tab shown in the bellows of the photo on the right) and verify that users and their permissions (see photo below Centre and left) are configured correctly. Then do the same for the authorization tab.

  This screen shot is to Win 7, Vista menus are similar.

  http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/permission-security.jpg

  The Security Panel and the authorization Panel, you need to highlight each user/group and consider that the authorization controls are verified correctly.

  When everything is OK, restart the network (router and computer).

  * Note . The groups and users listed in the screen-shoot are just an example. Your list will focus on how your system is configured.

  * Note . All the users who are allowed to share need to have an account onall computers that they are allowed to connect to.

  Everyone is an account, that means a group of all users who already have an account now as users. It is available to avoid the need to configure permission for each on its own, it does not mean all those who feel that they would like to connect.

  Please correct this problem in windows 7 please.

  miro2009,
  I'm sorry that you are not satisfied with the way Vista displays the LAN activity.  However, there is not a way to change this.  You are invited to read all about Windows 7 which has a release candidate available for free download.  I don't know if the icon of LAN traffic is different in Windows 7 it is XP.  You can read all about Windows 7 here:

  I installed it successfully in other XP machines, but I'm not able to do so in all Vista machines...

  I already formatted Vista.

  I have the following settings:

  -The discovery of the network: WE

  -Value private network

  -File sharing: WE

  -Public folder sharing: WE

  -Password protected: OFF

  I've run the wizard for XP network enabled file and printer sharing and then restarted.

  I put the same workgroup for Vista and then restarted.

  I don't have any of the following AVs installed:

  I.S. Norton, McAfee, Trend Micro or Kaspersky

  I downloaded the drivers from kyocera and installed on Vista and tried to add the printer again...

  Nothing seems to work. Please help me...

  Already done that it did not work...

  Found another solution but...

  The printer has an ethernet port. Connected that to the router, then install the drivers and successfully detected and installed the printer...
