Vista Vs wireless connections

• Vista SP2 wireless connection drops

  People, I know this question has been asked before, but I can't find a solution to my problem.  I've had my Dell laptop for about 6 months now and it worked perfectly, without any problem wireless connection.  On Sunday, August 9, I installed Vista SP2.  It updated no problem at all, but once he did his final reboot, it connected to my wireless router for about 5 minutes, then dropped connection.  Now, when you restart it only connects for a minute or two wireless then abandons connection.  I then uninstalled SP2 but it has not solved the problem with wireless.  My wireless adapter is an Atheros AR5007 and drivers are all up to date.

  Anyone know how I can fix this so that my wireless signal stay tuned as he used to pre SP2?
  Thank you.

  To reset the stack TCP/IP go to this article and either click on "Fix it for me" or follow the instructions to fix it yourself:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/299357

  Disable the IP helpdesk:

  1 hold the Windows key and type R, type "services.msc" (without the quotes) and press enter

  2. scroll down to the IP assistance service, right-click on it and select Properties

  3. in the drop-down list box that says "Automatic" or "Manual", set it to disabled and then click 'apply '.

  4. then click on "Stop" to stop the service from running in the current session

  NOTE: You should do this for each network connection.

  Disable the DHCP Broadcast Flag:

  Link: http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx/KB/928233

  Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/322756/ (how to back up and restore the registry in Windows)

  Windows Vista cannot obtain an IP address from certain routers or some non-Microsoft DHCP servers

  To resolve this issue, disable the DHCP BROADCAST flag in Windows Vista. To do this, follow these steps:

  Click Start, type regedit in the search box, and then click regedit in the list programs.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

  Locate and then click the following registry subkey:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\ {GUID}

  This registry path, click the (GUID) subkey that corresponds to the card network that is connected to the network.

  On the Edit menu, point to new, and then click DWORD (32-bit) value.

  In the new area #1, type DhcpConnEnableBcastFlagToggle and press ENTER.

  Right-click DhcpConnEnableBcastFlagToggle, then click on modify.

  In the value data box, type 1 and then click OK.

  Close the registry editor.

  By setting this registry key to 1, Windows Vista's trying to get an IP address using the BROADCAST flag in DHCP Discover packets. If that fails, he will try to obtain an IP address without using the BROADCAST flag in DHCP Discover packets.

  Please let us know if it helps.

  Thank you and best regards,
  David

• Computer Vista laptop cannot connect to new wireless router

  I had the laptop for about a year and a half, and he has a history of being pretty skittish about the wireless connection.  Often he simply refuses to do so.  During vacation last year, for example, the other three laptops connected family easily to wi - fi hotel, but mine has refused to.  There are a lot of other moments when the laptop could not connect, but I was able to connect to two most important places - home and work - without much trouble, and so I haven't looked too hard to solve the problems of connection up to now.

  This week, I replaced the router in my original configuration.  The old Netgear router kept giving up the connection between her and my ISP.  The new Linksys router looks rock solid in this regard.  I have a desktop running XP computer that is wired to the new router Linksys, and he sees the internet very well.  My laptop Vista unable to connect (wireless), however.  He sees the network with a lot of intensity of the signal, and it tries to connect.  I get a message saying that the connection takes longer than usual, and then another message saying 'connected.'  However, I do not have internet access, and I see other devices (just the XP desktop, really) on the network.  The Network and Sharing Center shows my laptop connected to the 'unidentified network', and then there is a red X between this network and the Internet (represented by a grey globe).  Laptop computer signals its 'access' as "local only".

  From the desktop, I can access the internet, so the router is connected to the points upstream.  From the desktop, I can also access the router configuration pages, and I see that it does not list the laptop as a dhcp client, even if the laptop thinks that it is connected.

  ipconfig on laptop computer displays a wacky IPv4 address: 169.254.2.91 and I guess that the laptop does not get an address passed to the router.  I think that there should be a 192.168. *. * address if it worked properly.

  Now, I was pretty sure my laptop's wireless adapter to work properly.  It always connects to the old router and it always connects to the work.  But to be sure and really test the new router, I went out and bought another USB adapter wireless.  When I plug it into the computer to Office XP, the Office connects to the router and can see the internet (even with the connection cable is disconnected).  So the new router and the new wireless USB adapater properly.  When I plug the USB wireless adapter into the laptop, the laptop still can't connect and still not get a good ip address assigned by the router.

  I've been at this for a few days now, and I could really use some help.  I read a few items in the Microsoft forums that was supposed to fix the problem.  One of them told me to try to start a program called DHCP in the Administrative Tools folder.  I do not have this program on my computer.  Another told me manually change my registry (ouch!) and add a new DWORD value, and set its value to 1.  I did, but it did not fix the problem.

  I would be very grateful for any help.

  Jim

  Alright.  I am home to work and back again.  I have read several posts with people reporting problems similar to mine, so I guess I'm not alone in this.  In a thread, the experts proposed to start in Mode safe mode with networking.  So I gave that a shot.  I still couldn't really connect - just this 'local only' without an assigned IP address.

  One thing I did notice, is that my laptop brand and its wireless adapter seem to get a special mention in most positions.  I have a HP Compaq Presario CQ50 Notebook PC running Vista Home Premium SP2, 32-bit version (even if the processor is 64-bit).  The wireless adapter is an Atheros AR5007.  Several other people with this card have reported problems.  Maybe it's the cause?

  I look into updating the driver for the card, even if yesterday's test with the separate USB wireless adapter showed that the problem could not just be limited to the Atheros card.  To search for a driver update, I connect my laptop to the router with an ethernet cable.  It's nice to see the web on your laptop.  No update driver does.

  For fun, I try to establish a wireless connection with the router, while the wired connection is still in place.  Looks like maybe it worked?  I say a little prayer and unplug the ethernet cable...

  It's a miracle!  I have a wireless connection to the router and beyond, to the internet.  Huzzah!

  The network has a real name, too, instead of just 'unidentified network '.  I want to change the network type from the public to the private, which I was unable to do while he was still 'unidentified '.

  Can I terminate the connection so that I can see what happens when I try to reconnect.

  Another miracle!  It connects to and still see the internet.  Callooh!  Colay!

  Next test: see what happens after a reboot... (please, please, please)...

  Ch-ching!  It works again!

  Final (?) test: reinstall the McAffee internet security suite and restart.

  And it still works.

  Here's a recap of what I found:
  1. laptop could not connect wireless router again, despite dozens of attempts in which I get every available straw
  2. laptop computer could see the internet when connected to the router
  3. laptop could connect wirelessly to the router while the wired connection is in place
  4. Once this first wireless, laptop computer was able to connect to the router even when the wired connection has been removed and the computer restarts

  I would describe my discovery above as a work-around rather than as a solution, however.  It does not always help me stay connected the next time I'm on vacation, for example.  But perhaps the information I provided can help experts to diagnose the real problem a little.

  I look forward to hear something back.

• WIFI disabled on windows vista and cannot wireless connect to the net

  WIFI disabled on windows vista and cannot wireless connect to the net, but bluetooth wireless Wi - Fi and fine switch is activated. Have a problem with ISATAP #5 who is incapable of solving that can be bound.

  All of a sudden I lost my internet connection wireless and I am unable to return.  May be because recent windows update.  Error messages on the wireless assistant say WLAN offshore or disabled.  I have tried every fix.

  In device Manager (under network adapters) shows also that MS ISATAP disabled with "Windows cannot load driver (Code 31).  When I try to update the driver, "Best driver already installed" appears.

  Is there a way to FIX?

• Vista will not connect to Netgear WPA/WPA2 wireless router

  HP Presario laptop with Vista Home Premium. Added Service packs 1 & 2 in a timely and all upgrades of MS Vista through 8/11. Laptop does not work on the wireless network using a new Netgear N300 router with WPA/WPA2-PSK security.  Roommate has Windows 7 on his laptop and connects very well. I thought that these Service packs were supposed to solve the problem of Vista-WPA? My laptop connects fine with the router if I use an Ethernet cable directly between the laptop and the router. NetGear argues that it is a matter of MS Vista. I missed a special fix?  Any suggestions?

• Wired or wireless connection. Was not identified until the restoration of the system. Windows Vista Ultimate

  I am currently on my laptop. I have my Windows Vista Home Premium desktop connected with a wire to the internet, and there is currently no link. I can't even connect wirelessly, and yet my laptop is fine with both. It was not identified until I restored the a few days before, and now he has no connection whatsoever. Type of emergency because my business is at a standstill right now because of this.  Edit: Where you plug your cable internet on your computer, it normally has a flashing beside him, but it currently isn't. I can plug the wire into my laptop and it works fine, but not with the office. So I know this isn't a problem of modem/router, it's a computer problem.

• I try to connect my Acer Vista laptop for HP Officejet 7310 printer using a wireless connection.

  I try to connect my Acer Vista laptop for HP Officejet 7310 printer using a wireless connection.  The printer is connected to a Dell XPS running Windows 7.  Is there a way to do this?

  Hello

  Printers use a built-in wireless card and plug it into a power source, not your network or computer. After turning on the printer, you must refer to the documentation that came with the printer to set up a wireless connection for each computer.

  I suggest you to download and install drivers from the link below

• between my computer and router wireless connection (vista, premiem windows 7, 64 bit)

  Hey I recently had problems with my connection Wireless between my computer and the router.
  Normally off during the night is not connected to my router or on the internet the next day.

  I have been in close contact to my isp provider and have received a new router and reset my wireless Internet services provider site but I'm still having problems. I have also updated my drivers for my wireless on my laptop Hp G62 and have found that it will not cut when I do not shut down or sleep during the night.

  When you try to solve the problem, it will come back with "problem with the adapter or wireless access point and then asked to disconnect the power to the router. After doing this it will be fine all day.
  I do also to turn a blackberry 9000 "BOLD" and see first thing in the morning if the wireless is connected or not.

  ask for help, here is my last option I have been through everything and had an expert look at my computer where he found nothing wrong with my computer or wireless set up settings.

  any help or advice would be great

  Hello

  1. do you have problems connecting with Windows 7 or Vista?
  2. you remember of any change to your computer before the problem?

  Make sure that there is no interference between your router and your computer. For example. Mobile phones, like the mobile signals could conflict with your router signals and therefore no connection to your computer.

  You can uninstall and reinstall the Device Manager wireless network card.
   
  To uninstall the wireless device manager,
   
  a. Click Start, type device manager in the search box of start and press ENTER.
  b. Locate the network adapters and expand the same.
  c. Select the wireless connection, right click and choose uninstall.
  d. restart the computer, if prompted.
   
  Pilots should settle automatically after the computer restarts.

   

  Now you can install the latest wireless drivers and check if this solves the problem.

• My laptop Sony VAIO with Vista will not connect and stay connected to my wireless internet.

  My laptop Sony VAIO with Vista will not connect and stay connected to my wireless internet.  All other laptops in the House are perfectly.  Internet disconnects, says local only, then reconnects constantly making internet hard work.

  Hi Tinkerbellfancolorado,

  1. When is this last work fine?
  2. Do you receive an error message or error codes?
  3. Recent changes on the computer?

  There could be several causes for this problem.

  Try starting with these methods.

  Method 1

  Step 1

  1. Open Network Diagnostics by right-clicking the network icon in the notification area, and then click diagnose and repair.
  2. Make sure that all cables are connected (for example, make sure that your modem is connected to a working jack or cable phone connection, either directly or through a router).
  3. Reset your modem and router. Remove the power cord from the modem or router, wait at least 10 seconds, then plug in the modem and/or router back.

  Step 2

  Another reason may be windows disable your network adapter to save power. Turn off the power saving option in the properties of the network (wired network only cards) card:

  1. Open network connections by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking network and Internet, click network and sharing Center, and then clicking manage network connections.
  2. Right-click on the connection and then click Properties. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
  3. On the Networking tab, click Configure.
  4. On the power management tab, clear the allow the computer to turn off this device to save power option, and then click OK.

  Method 2

  Temporarily disable the firewall, and check the status.

  NOTE: To re-enable the firewall after check you the status. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your /firewall antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
