  • I can not connect computer vista laptop to my network home, but I can connect to other networks. Other computers can connect to my home network very well. This can be corrected?

    My laptop runs Vista and I've not had problems connecting to my home network wireless until a week ago or not.  Then, trying to connect, I see other available networks, but not my own.  When I try to connect manually, it says that the network already exists.  Other computers, macbooks, are able to connect to my home network without problem.  I am able to connect to a network on my laptop fine unsecured wireless.

    I could 'solve' the problem or get reconnected with a restoration of the system to an earlier date, but it only lasts a day or two.  I searched for another fix and tried many things, including to reset the router, remove my network, and then reinstall, etc, but can't seem to get this to work as if it were - automatic connection as the first network.

    Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

  • Firefox opens, but this morning, I can't access all the links via Firefox. I can through Explorer. I prefer Firefox. Help!

    Firefox opens, but this morning, I can't access all the links via Firefox. I can through Explorer.

    One possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or limits Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

    Delete all rules for Firefox in the list of permissions in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

  • Firewall Windows settings keep changing ~ I don't change them! HELP Please

    Recently, I noticed that to change my Windows Firewall settings, AND I'm not modify them.

    I set the Windows Firewall as follows:

    1. on the "Général" tab
    I ticked the boxes: 'On' (recommended) and "don't allow exceptions".
    2. in the tab 'Exceptions ':
    NO boxes are checked
    I ticked 'display a notification when Windows Firewall blocks a program '.
    3. on the "Advanced" tab
    ONLY "Connection to the Local network" is checked
    and under the 'Settings' button ICMP NO boxes are checked.

    Periodically, I notice that my "Network Icon" (two screens) is very active when I'm not navigate on the internet or by e-mail.  When I click with the right button on the icon and select "Change Windows Firewall settings", I note that the following changes have been made to my original settings, BUT NOT BY me!

    1. on the "Général" tab
    The box: 'On' (recommended) is checked
    BUT "don't allow exceptions" is now disabled
    2. in the tab 'Exceptions ':
    File sharing and printer is enabled
    AND "Display a notification when Windows Firewall blocks a program" is now disabled
    3. on the "Advanced" tab
    If I click on the box 'Connect to the Local network' that is always checked
    under ICMP, and go to the "Settings" button
    NOW, the first "Allow an incoming echo request" is checked.

    Earlier this week, I hadn't double checked if the parameters have changed and started printing a Word document, I had been editing.  Before the start of my print file, my printer started to print pages and pages of garbled text (just the letters and not readable ~ grabage).  After the cancellation of all the print jobs, I checked the Windows Firewall settings again, and they had been changed from the original settings that I had chosen, once again!

    The only way I can restore my original settings is to click on the default button on the tab "Advanced" and then double-checking the options I want.

    This happens at least 8 times a day and makes me crazy, because I am constantly having to check if the Windows Firewall settings are as I put them in the first place.  If they are not, I have to go through this process over and over again.  By making print a nightmare, but it's also annoying to have to keep control of the settings.

    Ask everything you big strong guys out there to give this 'small' a helping hand technique with this one, please.

    Thank you very much

  • Windows 7 not remembering home network

    I have 2 computers that are configured in a wired network:

    Laptop1 - Network switch - Laptop2

    For security reasons, there is no access to the internet.  (For the few times that it is necessary, we use wireless.)

    Because they are only 2 computers, I've set up static IP addresses to Ethernet adapters (IPs private / class C) and told me the network card it was a home network and then set up a homegroup.  (They are also in the same working group).  Since there are only two computers on the same subnet, I don't bother to set up a DNS gateway or default.  The only thing that caught my interest is that the NIC kept showing "unidentified network" - which could be the cause of the problem described below.  (Because this network does not have the particular signs, I expect that's why Windows confuses.)

    After everything was set, I was able to share the files from one computer to another.  I have had absolutely no problem.  Unfortunately, every time restart us the computer, the two computers stopped talking.  When I went back to look at the network, it has been reset to the Public network instead of :ome network I selected previously.  What happens on BOTH computers.  Once I tell the computer in a home network, everything works perfectly - I don't even have to Setup homegroup.  Unfortuantely, as soon as we reboot a computer, this computer forget and returns to the Public network.

    Other information:

    Both computers running with administrative accounts.  Because of custom software, we are unable to upgrade to 8.x Windows or Windows 10 right now.

    I did some research and have seen many answers/different answers to this question.  #1 response seems to be to update the NIC drivers and I'm looking into that.  Is there something else I can look at?  Maybe add something to the network configuration to manually tell him it's the same network?

    Found the workaround:

    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/71408-unidentified-networks-set-private-public.html

    While I don't really 'it' because it is automatically the network a network of 'work', it allowed me to progress.  When I had to add a 3rd computer to homegroup, I had to change the first computer network temporarily work back home in order to get the 3rd computer to join the homegroup and then after the system has restarted, he returned to 'work', but the HomeGroup continues to operate correctly.

    I don't know if this is addressed in Win10, but it would be nice if manually configure us a computer on a network, so we can manually set as call it and the private setting would stick without having to enter in the security policy.

  • Please can someone explain why the windows Installer keeps appearing when nothing is installed? Any way to stop this?

    Why the Windows Installer keep popping up, either on a web page or an e-mail to the office when nothing is installed.  No way to stop that... ?

    The desktop of your computer, click on the tab "Start", usually located at the bottom left of the screen (on Vista, it's maybe the windows symbol instead of the word 'Start').

    Now, find and click on the program title 'run '. Vista users can locate this program by typing "run" in the area of research at the bottom of the menu 'start '.

    Once you open 'Run', type 'MSCONFIG' in the empty box and click 'OK '. This will open the System Configuration utility.

    With the open System Configuration utility, select the tab "Services".

    Scroll down the list of services (it may be advantageous to click on the 'service' column to sort the services by alphabetical order) until you find the program "Windows Installer".

    Now, click on the checkbox next to the name of the Windows Installer and click on the button 'Disable' at the bottom of the Configuration of the system.
