  Hello

  Check the firewall it is maybe it has been reset.

  In general.

  Most laptops have a physical switch for the wireless card. Read the manual of the computer and make sure that the wireless adapter is on.

  Check the Device Manager for the wireless card valid entry.

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

  If there is no valid entry, remove any entry from fake and re - install the drivers for the wireless card.

  Check network connections to make sure that you have a network icon/entry wireless connection, and that the properties of the icon (right-click on the icon) are correctly configured with the TCP/IPv4 protocol in the properties of network connections.

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

  Make sure that if there is Wireless Utility a utility vendor is not running with the native Windows wireless utility.

  Make sure you firewall No. preventing / blocks wireless components to join the network.

  Above everything is OK and it connects to the wireless router. Log in from any computer which is, or can be connected to the router with a wire wireless, disable wireless security, make sure that the wireless streaming is enabled and try to connect with no. wireless security.

  When the work turns on the Wireless security.

  Note * people sometimes make mistakes in writing and retype the password for security.

  Another way is to copy in the menu of the router and then paste it when asked of the wireless card.

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

  I really checked and configured every thing and it doesn't work.

  Software firewall application that is not configured to allow local traffic (between the computer and the router is also a possible problem.
  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 the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

• Windows Vista Home Basic Edition, Acer laptop wireless, Linksys router and connect Lexmark X 9350 wireless network.

  I'm tired... I tried everything I can think of, as well as everything I can find online in order to connect my printer Lexmark X 9350 WiFi for my Acer laptop which is connected to my home network wireless via my linksys router. At the same time, the printer has been set up through my existing wireless network and was working properly. (FOR A SINGLE DAY!) Then I got the bright idea to installNorton Anti Virus Security. Since then, my printer stopped working through the wireless network. It works as a stand-alone Copier and fax machine, but nothing of the printer.  I contacted Lexmark via online support, but their suggestions did not work or were so confusing that it would take a computer technology to interpret the instructions to correct the problem. I learned more about the Wi - Fi networks and computer by trial and error, I should be able to re - connect my printer the eyes bandaged.  Help, please... This problem is ongoing for weeks. Thank you so much in advance.

  Just a thought, as you say it started with Norton check his firewall exceptions:

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

  Have a read of the link above re Vista file and printer sharing.

  Permissions/Share info is there as well.

  If you use Norton, make that file and printer sharing is enabled in THE Firewall (or LAN enabled, depending on how their Exceptions are formulated in their firewall)

  See you soon.

  1. I get the following message when I consult my network connections:

  "Connection status: unknown.

  The dependency service or group was able to start. »

  2 Windows cannot find any wireless networks in range.

  3. I tried to use Windows Network Diagnostics and the message I got was "The Windows Wireless Service is not running on this computer."  I tried to start the service, but couldn't.

  I would appreciate any you can give troubleshooting tips!  Thank you.

  Hi Kelly1986,

  1. what happens when you try to connect by using wired connection?
  2. do you have security software installed on the computer?
  3. did you of recent changes on the computer?
  4. What is the error message when the service started?

  First of all, I would say that check you what happens when you connect using the wired connection.

  Check also in mode safe mode with Networking if you are able to connect to internet using wired connection.

  Steps to start in safe mode with networking
  1 restart your computer if it is running.
  2. press the F8 key after your initially on powers computer.
  3. Once you see the menu Advanced Startup Options , you can stop tapping.
  4. use the up/down arrow keys to highlight your selection.
  5. Select Safe Mode with network and pressenter.
  6. you should see loading drivers and wait please.
  7. you should then be at the Welcome screen.
  8. connect to your computer using an account with administrator privileges.

  Start your computer in safe mode
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

  Restart the computer to return to normal mode

  Disable the security software on the computer and try to start the service and check.

  Important: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  If you still cannot start the try running SFC scan service that would have a search system files corrupted on the computer and replace them.

• MacMini don't auto connect to the preferred wireless network when the router reboots

  My MacMini is located to join my favorite wifi network. Where I stay, there is usually a power failure close to a minute or two during the day.

  My setup is such that my MacMini running 24 x 7 with a backup uninterruptible but my router (AirPort Express) turns off during the power outage. When the router goes off, my Mac disconnects from the network which should, but now when my router turns, the MacMini reconnect to the preferred network.

  It shows the network preferred list, and when I manually click on this subject, it reconnects immediately without asking for password. But this will not happen automatically.

  If I restart my MacMini it reconnects very well. The problem occurs only when my MacMini is but my router restarts.

  To reproduce this problem on your side, just turn off your router and once your Mac disconnects from the network back on the router. See if your mac reconnects to your wifi fine.

  Any solution or advice for this problem?

  Thank you.

  Please test after taking each of the steps that you have not already tried it. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.

  1. If possible, test at another network, such as a public access point or hotspot created by a mobile phone. Some Wi - Fi routers are not fully compatible with Apple devices.

If the router doesn't support either of these modes, it should be replaced with another.

• Cannot connect Tecra 9000 to wireless network

  Hello

  I am trying to connect my laptop Toshiba T9000 to my BT home Hub 2.0 Wireless v but a little difficulty.
  The laptop recognizes the hub, but every time I click on connect, I get the same message.

  ""Windows cannot connect to the selected network. " The network can be is no longer in range. Please refresh the list of available networks and try to connect again"

  I went through a few troubleshooting steps to resolve this problem, but always without success.
  Can I update the driver? My inclination is that this may have something to do with the laptop is not able to support WPA?

  I am not very computer but if anyone has any additional input to help me with this question then I would be very happy.

  Kind regards
  Answer by quoting

  > Can I update the driver? My inclination is that this may have something to do with the laptop is not able to support WPA?
  This may be possible

  The point is that this laptop is an oldie and the wireless network adapter appears to be old too.
  I ve no idea what WLan card you have, but you could try to connect to the WLan without use of encryption settings. Disable encryption on the router Wlan and test connectivity again. of course, this must be done only for testing purposes
  The wireless network must be always secure

  The alternative could be the use of external USB WLAN, it would be the easiest and fastest way for that to be resolved

• I can not connect to or finding wireless networks

  I really appreciate any help you can give me for this problem.
  While I tried to include all the relevant details, please let me know if you need more.
  I have these specifications or running programs
  • Sony Vaio VGN-FE865E
  • MS Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit SP2
  • A/b/g/n wireless D-Link router
  • Intel (R) PR0/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection, version 10.6.0.29
  • Spybot S & D
  • AVG Free Antivirus
  Recently, I removed these products with REVO Uninstaller:
  • All click DVD products
  • Windows Media Player

  I will have these disorders:

  • When I "manage network connections", none are present now while 10 + networks should be there.
  • When I "diagnose and repair" the wireless network it says: "this computer is set to connect manually to"Netgear F8"" is not a router I know or preferred my network
  • When I press the update under "connect to a network", the thing that looks like a trash icon, but turn it show it is refreshing, not is nothing more

  I did:

  • under the command prompt, I did a sfc/scannow (full audit; Protection of resources found no breach of integrity ;)
  • I tried to diagnose the connection, it keeps telling me to change the network settings
  • Wireless adapter found under "Device Manager": device is turned on, works fine, up-to-date and has no resource conflicts
  • I have reset, turned on and off and enabled the network card

  PS. connection to the preferred network via LAN internet gives computer problem

  OK, so it has been set to 0 (the DHCPNode) and I changed it.

  What strikes me as odd, however, is that earlier tonight the problem cleared up. I don't know what has changed.

  I noticed it happened because I was playing a game online (with LAN) and jumped rope, but I was able to continue playing.  During the inspection of more I noticed that all the saved networks were back and I connect to my local network.

  I then remove the Netgear network recorded, that I didn't.

  Again, thank you for your time and help,

  Sincerely,

  Lance

• Win 7 does not recognize that I am connected to my home wireless network.

  Recently, I upgraded my desktop and my laptop at home to Win 7. I'm trying to set up a home network, but on my laptop, I can't change my home network location. Even though my laptop is connected to the internet via my wireless router, Windows don't think that I'm connected to a network. When I click on "connect to a network", it shows that I am connected to my wireless router. When I try to set up a home network on the laptop, it tells me I need to change the network location of the Public at home, but since he did not think that I am connected, it will not allow to do me this.  I searched the internet and worked through it for hours, but can't seem to find a solution to this problem. Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

  Ideas:

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

  I had this same problem.  I have a home group on my desktop running win 7 64 bit.  My laptop (win 7 64 bit) could not connect because the internet connection was showing pubic hair and I couldn't change it.  Here's what I did.  I deleted all my networks and groups off the laptop computer.  I restarted my laptop.  On my desktop, I went into Control Panel, home group and consulted my password.  I also need my wep key of wireless network.

  To better understand, my wireless network name is cleopatraiz

  On my laptop, I went into the wireless network connections through the status bar at the bottom right which displays all networks wireless scope.  I clicked on my wireless (cleopatraiz) and it prompted for the wep key.  I entered that and then I went into newwork & Sharing Center, was now showing my active network as cleopatriz, I clicked on choose home group and sharing options and joined using my password of the Group House of desktop computers.  It worked.
