Why other computers cannot connect to the internet with my ad - hoc connection?

Hi all! Here's my situation.
My friends router is dead and we are in the smack dab Middle no where with no transport and we want the internet.
We have only an Ethernet however.

Here's my situation.
I want to create an ad - hoc network and share the internet connection using ICS. The problem is, when I secure my ad hoc network with WEP or WPA cannot connect to the network. The network is visible on the computers of my friends (mac and PC) and they put the password nothing is done.

But here's the kicker, when I don't put no security on the network, everything works fine.

How do I create an ad hoc ICS with security network and have not really work?
Thank you guys!

Hello

Thanks for posting. If I understand correctly, you experience the problem with the connection of computers using the Ad - hoc network. Correct me if I'm wrong!

Before I continue, I would like to collect some personal information on the issue.

1. what security software is installed on your computer?

2. share your protected password put on or off?

The sharing tab is not available if you have only a WLAN card.

Method 1:

Follow the link below and set the ad hoc network.

Set up a computer-to-computer (ad hoc) network

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/set-up-a-computer-to-computer-ad-hoc-network

Set up a wireless network without router

http://www.Microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/setup/adhoc.mspx

Method 2:

After you follow the steps above to set up ICS on the host computer, make the following changes on other computers (but not on the host computer).

(a) open Internet Options by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking network and Internet, and then clicking on Internet Options.

(b) click on the connections tab, and then click never establish a connection.

(c) click on LAN settings.

(d) in the dialog box settings of the network Local (LAN), under automatic configuration, clear the check boxes automatically detect connection settings and use automatic configuration script .

(e) under Proxy Server, clear the use a proxy server for your LAN check box, and then click on OK.

If the password protection sharing is disabled, I suggest to turn on you or so try if this can help fix the problem.

Method 3:

Follow these steps and check if that helps.

(a) click Start, type Control Panel in the search box, press ENTER.

(b) click on network and sharing Center, click change advanced sharing settings in the left pane.

(c) click on him to expand the network profile (type) that you want to turn sharing on or off for protected by Word.

(d) select (dot), turn on password protected sharing.

  • Computers cannot connect to the server mirgae

    Hello

    I have the following problem.

    We have install a Mirage 4.0 Server and installed the Mirage-Agent to 10 customers.

    Eight of them are working properly. The other two cannot connect to the server. I figured out the they do not have a UUID in the BIOS.

    Mirage-server log appears in the event log, as the uuid = ffffffff-ffff-ffff-ffff-ffffffffffff on both computers.

    How can I make unique to the mirage computers?

    And how the mirage will create the AgentID?

    Thanks for your help?

    Sebastian

    Mirage uses the BIOS UUID and serial number to identify an endpoint. When one of them is absent, the other is usually sufficient.

  • How to access Windows 8 PC on the Internet with remote desktop connection?

    Hello

    Can someone tell me how to access Windows 8 PC on the Internet with remote desktop connection?

    I'm good with the software and I have used many Microsoft software since the 1980s. So I like Microsoft products, but since they have outsourced their tech support, you can't support quality even if you pay for it. I followed all the instructions in the Windows 8 will help about DRC setting screens, but I can't connect unless I'm on the same home network. Here are the details:

    I have a desktop PC with Windows 8 Pro and I have authorized the DRC. I tried two settings in system properties:

    1. Allow connections to this computer remotely.
    2. That allow the connection of computers running Office remotely with authentication NLA.

    I also turned on both private and Public Windows Firewall settings > allow an App or feature through Windows Firewall.

    I have installation then DRC to my laptop with Windows 8 (standard edition, not the Pro version). I have a DRC using the full name of the computer and other DRC using the static IP address for my ISP Desktop connection.

    I use the user account administrator Windows for connections of DRC of the laptop.

    I cannot get this to work on the Internet from a location outside my house with another ISP connection. The only way it works if I'm uncomfortable with the laptop using the same network home.

    I called Dell tech support and it is always useless and just a more aggravating waste of an hour to talk to their support of technique outsourced in India (who barely even understand English) and then they hang up the phone as it was supposed to be disconnected. I also called Microsoft support and lost more than an hour to speak to their outsourced tech support in the Philippines (and as support of the India, they hang up or 'disconnect' when they cannot answer your question and they go account learn you more about Windows while they do). U.S. tech companies use AMERICANS more for their technical support so their customers can get people who actually care about doing a good job and can actually understand English?

    So if someone who knows using Windows 8 for DRC on the Internet has some tips, then it would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!!

    P.S. If anyone is offended by my comments about the ugly, incompetent, stupid providing "technical support" in India or the Philippines - Nevermind! You go ahead and waste hours of your time talking to some Morón in these countries, who barely understands English and then 'disconnects' the call when they know that you realize that they are clueless and have all the answers.

    Take a look at no - IP.com or dyndns.com, and then use your host.domain:3389 of no.-ip/dynDNS or run RelaVNc SErver that is running on port 5900 by default.  Server options allow you to change the port as well if necessary.

  • I can ONLY connect to the internet with IE7 and Outlook Express

    I have Win XP SP3, home wired network, Netgear router, cable internet, Lenovo desktop.
    I can run IE 7 and Outlook Express and connect to the internet very well with these.  However, I can not connect using FireFox.  Windows Update returns an error and does NOT connect to scan my computer and display the necessary updates.  I just installed tax program this year HR CD block and it is unable to connect to internet to download the updates.  I used IE7 to go to the web site of the tax program to download the update manually, but it doesn't connect either.  I also can't complete installation OF Adobe (Digital Editions) program because it must connect to the internet in order to make a registration.

    I have disabled the Windows Firewall, do not have a configured proxy.  So, I can browse the internet with IE7 and get email with Outlook express.  I went on the site from Google Chrome to try to download it and install it that (using IE7 of course), but after I press the "Download" button, IE7 says that it cannot connect to perform the download.

    I scanned this forum and not seen similar symptoms that would allow me to reach a solution.  Everyone knows about this issue and how to resolve?

    P.S. I have two other laptops Win XP which CAN completely connect to internet with IE and Firefox via the same router and the modem cable.

    I tried trojan remover and none of the things in the menu utils found any problems.

    But it turns out that my problem was a hidden/partial copy of Symantec Client Firewall that I thought was deleted.  Over the months some programs had been updated and Symantec didn't know about them, so it was blocking their access: FROM Adobe, HR Block, IE8, Firefox, etc.  Given that I have not seen it listed in the start menu and it was not listed in Add/Remove Programs, I didn't have to try to remove it.  And it was not poping up to tell me of a new program attempts to access the Internet.

    I used the Symantec tool to remove all THE stuff of Symantec and it cleared up my connection problems.  I then reinstalled Symantec Client Security (antivirus and firewall) and turned off the Windows Firewall.

  • computer not automatically standby (formerly titled "impossible computer automatically sleep when it is connected to the internet with modem cable")

    Hi, I noticed recently that my computer (Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005) is unable to sleep automatically when it is connected to the internet with a cable modem. Change the settings for my current power mode and try a different feeding regime (diagrams of Windows XP default power and power management, I created) only solves the problem for 2 days at most. I also tried to change the settings for the other power plans mentioned, and yet once again, the problem was only set for two days at the most. I also tried turning off my computer, restarting my computer, recording Powercfg /Restore Default policies in Run, saving sfc/scannow in Run, and again, I got the same result. Reset and power cycling the modem cable is not helped either. To help you better understand the problem, for example, if I had the date set for the screensaver set to 1 minute, the time for the monitor to turn off set to 2 minutes and time for your computer set to 3 minutes, the screen saver activate after 1 minute, the monitor turns off after 2 minutes, but the computer would not sleep mode after 3 minutes , even after an hour or more. I tried to check the Task Manager, and I have not noticed any process that would be interrupting the day before. However, I noticed that when I turned on the monitor by moving the mouse, even when the computer was unable to sleep and unplugged the ethernet cable from the cable modem and waited, the computer has entered standby as it should have.  I tried to find a solution for more than a week, contributions for this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read my post. (Update: it seems that the problem is something else then my cable modem.)

    Hello

    Thank you for the update.

    This behavior can occur because of possible conflicts of third-party software, which includes the third-party security software.

    You can also temporarily disable third-party security software and firewalls installed on the system and check the issue.

    If disabling the antivirus software solves the problem, you may need to configure the settings of the antivirus as a result program. Please contact the software vendor for assistance in this regard.

    Note: be sure to enable the security software on the computer after checking the issue.

    Note: When you perform a clean boot, you can activate services for the modem, network card and disable third-party services to check the issue.

    Hope the helps of information. Let us know if you need help with Windows related issues. We will be happy to help you.

    You must check with the help of the manufacturer of your router, their documentation online.
    and ask in their forums. Most have excellent online help. Your ISP should also be

    I tried to configure my router to work with my Hughesnet HN9000 satellite modem WRT54G and my desktop tray.  I have a Gateway PC and am using Windows XP. I had worked in the past but came out the router for a few months when my portable wireless is dead. Now, I can not the desktop computer to access the internet with the router in place so I can set it up. The cables are all plugged in right. Cable from the modem to the internet port on the router and the Router 1 port Ethernet cable or 4 for desktop.  I cycled all over and outside. I can access the internet fine if I have the modem connected directly to my computer so I know that I have an internet connection. Hughsnet says it's the router. Because it is out of warranty, I can't get any help from Lynksis. I ran the set up disk Lynksis. I suspect that error messages I receive it has something to do with the IP address. But if I can't access the internet how can I do anything with the IP address of the router?  I'm not very experienced when it comes to the routers and network settings. Anyone has any comments that could help. I should be able to figure it all out if I can get just the router connected to the internet. . Thank you...

    Thanks, I found the problem. The Ehernet cable plug was defective. It would work on the Satellite modem, but not the router because of the localities of diffétent and different stress on the card. Changed the cable and everything works fine now.  Thank you.
