Windows 7 networking broken (and fixed)
It is not so much a question as it is a public service announcement.
A week ago, networking has stopped working on my Windows 7 Ultimate machine. The built in ethernet adapter has been enabled. The pilot looked good and was up to date. Everything was beautiful. But the icon in the system tray network had a big red X and windows refused to see the network. When you enable the network controller, it wouldn't go through the normal DHCP dance and get an IP address. He wouldn't even ask a. Static IP no longer works. I could put in the correct values, but he refused to see the network.
After the top for a few days, I decided that the jury of network on the motherboard must have failed. Then I went out and bought a wireless card throw PCI to hold me until I could get a decent ethernet card. After setting this up, he could see wireless networks. But when you try to connect, no IP address... even as a member of the Council.
I've done some digging in google and tried again to find the problem. Someone said that Hello had caused them some problems, and you must update to the latest version. I just uninstalled. This corrects the problem. Hello is apparently a software from Apple, and I think related to iTunes or iPod. I have not tried to connect my iPod yet, so I can reinstall this gem shortly.

Hey Femi92
I suggest that you use a friends computer to go to your computer manufacturers website and search for your model number for the network vista drivers
Download and save to drive flash and then reinstall them using your computer

Network XP and windows 7 - "limited or no connectivity."
My configuration: -.
Two desktop computers: one with Windows 7, the other with Windows XP.
PC W7 has a built-in Ethernet port connected via a modem cable to the internet. It also has a network card connected to the XP pc via a crossover cable.
XP PC has 1 network card and related to W7 as above.
Internet connection sharing is not turned on.
XP pc reports "limited or no functionality" and "repair" reports "Could not be completed because does not have a valid IP configuration".
Solving the problems of W7 also reports "LAN doesn't have a valid IP configuration".
Both computers are in the workgroup 'WORKGROUP '.
LAN network shows that undentified and 'public' location on W7.
QUESTIONS: -.
1. I would get full functionality by manually setting the IP addresses on the LAN?
2 do I need to configure IPv4 and IPv6 addresses?
3. are there any restrictions on the addresses?
4. I assume that as the network and the internet connection on the address conflicts different networks would not arise. Fix?
5. I can't change the connection to the local network at HOME - is it important?
6. article "Networking home computers running different versions of Windows" suggests that a NAT device must be interposed ECCAS cable modem and the pc. Is only relevant when connecting several PC only internet connection?
Advice on these issues would be highly appreciated.
Thank you.
Yes, Windows 7 can share its Internet connection with XP. I think we can all this work starting with all the settings. I added a few that we might have missed before and tested the settings on my computers.
On the Windows XP computer, configure these network connection settings manually:
192.168.137.2 = IP address
Subnet mask = 255.255.255.0
Default gateway = 192.168.137.1
Preferred DNS Server = 192.168.137.1On the Windows 7 computer:
1. disable Internet connection sharing.
2. enable Internet connection sharing on the connection of the cable modem. If it asks you to select a private network connection, select the connection to the local network.
3. in the properties of the connection to the TCP/IPv4 LAN:
a. set the default gateway to 192.168.137.2
b. click Advanced button , clear the Automatic metric check box, and then enter 999 in the Interface metric box.

Hello! This morning my Windows 7 (the motherboard Acer) desktop ceased to recognize the wired connection to its network card. In other words, it shows kind of connection, but notes "no Internet access. It connects to a surfboard by Motorola through one Ooma hub, although I encounter the same problem when I connect to the desktop directly to the surfboard. All other devices Wi-wired and that connect to the surfboard are functioning properly.
Thinking that the Realtek NIC on the motherboard Asus was the problem, I installed a new Trendnet network interface card in the PCI slot. I disabled the network card to the motherboard via the BIOS settings. No change. Always 'no Internet access.
Time Warner Cable test the modem from their office and said it was working properly. I also connected a laptop directly to the surf board using the same cable, and he was able to connect to the internet.
Can someone help me understand what the problem is? Thank you!
You have McAfee? McAfee has been updated at the same time as the last batch of updates from Windows 7 and this is the cause of problems of internet connection for most, if not all, users of McAfee.
See the communication from this "criticism" - McAfee
You should make the fix McAfee, if necessary. There are corresponding communications for their enterprise products.
I had to run the removal of McAfee Development tool a few times before and it caused a problem with the license if the PC was not connected to the internet during the abduction. Due cat of McAfee support reset their files in order to allow the relocation-reactivation. Here is their link cat - McAfee - media contains the link to the cat

But in the case of windows 7, you will not get the driver LAN, Wifi and Bluetooth page main media because HP made this model to be worked with windows 8. They provide generic drivers for above mentioned drivers missing.

What is the BSOD Windows 0 x 00000071 and can simply be fixed?
Whenever I run to the top of my Windows XP, I get a blue screen with 0 x 00000071 and session5_initialization_failed. I have no idea what that means and I CAN'T run in Mode without failure or last known working configuration, they also give me the same error. I used to have the BSOD 0x0000007b but then I used a CD of Windows XP Recovery console and it changed to 0 X 00000071. Is there anyway I can fix it from home and keep my data? I tried using fixboot and chkdsk/r, and it does not help. I have also a certain blank CD I can burn but I don't have the original Windows XP cd.
TechNet said that it is a mistake to Win2000, whatever it is, it relates to memory, or lack thereof. Chk this link
Ensure that all memory cards are of the same type, 1 face or 2, do not mix the... Was xp never top &
ongoing, in addition, youre cmd is incorrect by chkdsk, it must be: CHKDSK C: /F & if its recovery, his

I am already taking pictures of the sticker and serial No. my laptop if you need if you can help me please write me * address email is removed from the privacy * thank youIf you had not reinstalled Vista, we helped you recover the product key of Vista for running old, Vista activated using specific programs.
But, as you have wiped the hard and reinstall Vista, we will not help you recover the product key.
http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp
Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.
Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.
Using recovery disks is normally not need to insert a product key.
