Windows 8 - no connection is available

• Not connected. No connection is available

  Product name: HP Pavilion g4-2002tx Notebook PC

  Operating system: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

  My wireless internet was woring fine until recently when the connection with my home internet modem became intermittent.  There will be either a computer icon with a red x icon shown that says "connected. No connection is available' or white bars entirely filled with a yellow caution icon sign indicating 'A limited Internet access', so I couldn't connect to the Internet more.

  I believe that the problem lies not in the modem because other devices in my house as smartphones or other mobile phones were able to communicate with the modem when laptop problem has occurred.

  I have tried to restart the laptop several times and still perform a restore of the system until it has Internet access, but I only have access to the internet for a short period (not more than an hour) until the problem mentioned above occurs again and all the vicious circle continues.

  For now, the internet connection seems to work very well once again, but I don't know when the Wi - Fi connection will goes haywire once again. Help, please.

• Remote Assistance error: "Easy connect, not available.

  Original title: easy Remote Assistance connect will not work

  I have 2 systems of windows 7 on a local network using Qwest PK5000 modem-router.  Both systems are connected via the home network and share files between them very well and there is only 1 active network.

  If I run the MSRA command on the 64-bit computer and select easily connect using the option "help somebody", the system displays the security code for the other system to use or "invite".

  On the 32-bit machine when I try either options it goes to the "easy connect, not available.  Network Diagnostics has found no problem, but if I try to access the Internet connectivity evaluation tool I can't in the tool.  It says at the bottom "IE6 is required" and nothing happens.   So I don't know if the PK5000 was the Peer Name Resolution Protocol on it or not.  Qwest or Actiontec will not respond to the request.  I guess it's OK if the 64, but the machine would not immediately come with the password to use on the other machine.  The command ipconfig/all look the same on both machines. Furthermore, both systems are (Inspiron 580) and DELL (XPS 420).

  Please give me more advice on this problem.

  Problem solved!

  Downloaded "Teamviewer.exe www.teamviewer.com.  It is a product of superior quality on remote assistance and is free for non-commercial use and it works great both ways. And it allows control over the other system instead of simply consider.

• Not logged in - no connection is available (but they are!)

  Windows 7 - WiFi worked perfectly but suddenly stopped - and now I have only a message "not connected - no connection is available.

  Network, router, etc are all very well - our other computers all connect without problem. Have tried a new brand of USB wireless adapter and confirmed drivers the latest are installed - still nothing.

  Any suggestions?

  UPDATE

  Thanks for the advice - we now have things market by taking a chance and turning off the firewall

  * disabled the firewall (Miscrosoft own and a third one)

  * re-installed drivers

  * Open Control Panel - hardware and sound - devices and printers, and click on add a device

  Hey Presto! Wireless networks now identified.

  * restored firewall.

  * connection resumed

  It does not explain why it stopped working in the first place...  Ah, well...

• No internet connection is available

  Okay, I currently have windows 7 on desktop with an Ethernet cable. It says "No internet connections are available". I have checked under device manager and it says there is an error with the network adapter decides. I've tried to uninstall, reinstall, everything really and It didn't change anything. I decided I may not even have them on my computer, so I was wondering, where do I install the drivers and which ones? I can send pictures if you need me to do that, thanks and please help.
  

  Edit

  Hello kobelockwood,

  Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community. We understand that you are facing problems while trying to connect to Ethernet. As you said, it is likely that your system does not have the appropriate driver or driver Ethernet itself may be corrupt.

  The best way to solve the problem is to re - install manually the driver appropriate for the system.  To check the Ethernet driver you need, go to Device Manager and find the device Ethernet under 'network adapters '. It should be something like this:

  

  Download the driver from the manufacturer's website and try to connect to Ethernet. Let us know for further details.

  Hope this helps,

  Dear Experts,

  I need your help and advise on a problem that I am facing.

  OS - Windows 7 Ultimate - 64-bit

  Wired (LAN)

  

  I am connected to the internet - I can navigate. However, when I click on network icon, I get the message "no connection is available" (see image above). I checked the Device Manager - it lists the network adapter and does not indicate a problem.

  

  The Network and Sharing Center indicates that I am not connected. When I click on 'Connect to a network', I get the error that no connection is available.

  

  The connection to the Local network is enabled and shows that I'm connected (does not display the Red 'X'). I tried disabling and enabling the LAN. It still does not work.

  

  I checked for Services:

  • Network location awareness - its works very well. I tried this stopped and restarted.

  I also tried to remove/uninstall the network driver then reinstalling the latest Intel driver (https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=18713&lang=eng&wapkw=(82578))

  Please let me know if any of you have come across this situation. Please help me to get this resolved.

  If the problem persists, go to method 2.

  Method 2:

  1. Go to Start, click all programs and open the Accessories.
  2. Right-click on command prompt in the list programs, and then select run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, click OK, or alternatively click on Yes.
  3. In the command prompt, type the following commands and press ENTER after each command:

     net localgroup administrators networkservice / add
  4. Close the command prompt, and then restart the computer.

  Check if the networks are now available.

  Hope this information is useful. If the problem still persists, please post back for further assistance, we will be happy to help you.

• Windows 7 wireless connection problem

  I just bought a brand new Alienware m17x and all drivers are up to date... .IM with broadcom wireless network adapter. The strange thing is that last night I was on the internet for several hours without any problem using the wireless, but this morning iwas unable to use my wireless internet access. This has happened several times now. Sometimes it says "not connected - no available connections" and sometimes he says "not connected connections are available" when she says, links, I try to connect to the network, but it says "unable to connect to the network. The only time wherever I was able to connect to wireless internet, was when my computer is automatically connected to my wireless network without me having to select the network and attempt to connect. I read things about windows 7, with a mode of "sleeper" for wireless connections or something, and that can be the cause of it and that it is better to turn off or downgrade to xp. I am really frustrated because I am not able to connect wirelessly and I hope you guys can help me find a solution.

   

  Guide to correctly troubleshoot wireless M17x
  with Dell Wireless 1510/Broadcom card
  by Glzmo

  Since many new Alienware M17x all powerful users, especially those who use Windows 7 as operating system there are various problems with their Wi - Fi connection and post threads asking how their difficulty over and over again, I decided to write this guide to show them how to solve these issues properly Commons. The solutions in this guide were created and designed for 64-bit Windows 7, but they may also work in Windows Vista, although these problems were experienced by users of Windows 7 mainly in the past. It could very well be that the problems start occurring in Vista as well with the new drivers and Windows updates.

  I. may not connect to the wireless network and or see the wireless adapter when the Ethernet cable is disconnected
  If you sometimes or always unable to connect to the wireless network, cannot connect to the wireless network when the Ethernet cable is disconnected, unable to connect to a wireless network unless you restart once to get this work and other weird problems to be unable to connect to a wireless network continue with section II. Otherwise, continue with section II..

  Sleep of a.i. Disable on disconnect device
  Some new Nvidia Ethernet drivers have a function called sleep device to disconnect. This is the culprit. Normally, it should only put the card Ethernet to sleep when the cable is disconnected, but it is buggy and thus kill the wireless connection as well.
  Follow these steps to disable this feature on your Ethernet Nvidia card:
  1. open the Device Manager of Windows by pressing Win + break, and then click on Device Manager on the left side.
  2 double-click network adapters.
  3 double click on NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller (Yes, that's indeed wired Ethernet adapter).
  4 click on the Advanced tab.
  5 select sleep on disconnect device.
  6 set the value to disabled.
  7 click OK and wireless should work again (may require a reboot later, but probably not).

  I.b. install different drivers (older) who do not have the device sleeping on disconnect feature.
  The above does not work or if you are not comfortable with these drivers, follow these steps (if step A.i. was successful, you will not need to follow these steps). Take care to create a system restore point before proceeding:
  1. click the Windows Start button in the taskbar.
  2 click on Control Panel.
  3 click on uninstall a program.
  4 in the list, double-click Nvidia drivers.
  5. Mark Remove only the following.
  6 in the box below, only check the Nvidia Network driver.
  7 click Remove and follow the uninstall instructions.
  8 restart the system, if you are prompted to.
  9 download another (older) driver from Nvidia.
  10 install the old driver.
  11 when asked what drivers you want to install, select only the network driver.
  12 follow the installation instructions and restart your system if prompted.

  II. Low or fluctuating wireless connection speeds
  If you have problems with WiFi low connection speeds (such as rates decline over time, the speeds are much lower than they should be, network lag/stutter in online games, loss of light packets, loss of internet connection as LAN works and other weird things) or speeds of fluctuating wildly without apparent reason wireless connection install the version of the Dell Wireless 5.60.18.8 drivers instead of the standard Broadcom drivers. All older drivers will usually cause the speed of connection under normal. Note, however, that you may need to install the driver manually via Device Manager as the pilot was not released for another laptop and is not officially available to the M17x yet - that's why the installer won't work. Take care to create a system restore point before proceeding.
  Here is a step by step how manually install the driver:
  1. download the drivers Dell Wireless 5.60.18.8.
  2 check out the R29128.exe file using an extraction utility like WinRAR or just run it and quit the installation program.
  3. open the Device Manager of Windows by pressing Win + break, and then click on Device Manager on the left side.
  4 double-click network adapters.
  5 double-click the Broadcom 802.11n network adapter entry.
  6 click on the driver tab.
  7 click the button Update driver .
  8 click Browse my computer for driver software.
  9 click on Let me take form a list of drivers for devices on my computer.
  10 click the disk provided .
  11 click Browse.
  12. select the folder that you extracted the drivers you just downloaded in step 1. in.
  13 select the subfolder DRIVER_US (if you are in the United States), DRIVER_JP (if you are in the Japan) or DRIVER_ROW (if you are in the rest of the world), according to the region you are in.
  14 click on the Open button.
  15 click OK.
  16 select the driver that says Dell Wireless 1510 Wireless-N WLAN Mini-Card of the list (you may have to scroll down to see - it presents itself as second to the last in the list for me).
  17 click on the Next button.
  18 you will get a warning that the driver that you are about to install is not compatible with your hardware. Ignore the warning and proceed with the driver installation.
  19 restart your system if prompted to do so.
  20 your new driver should now be properly installed and the speed of your wireless connection in the order.

  III. If all else fails (or you've just had enough of boredom arising from the Dell Wireless 1510/Broadcom card)
  Replace the Dell Wireless 1510 problem with a card half-mini Intel Ultimate N WiFi Link 5300 A/G/N (use the bluetooth as the third antenna antenna or buy you an additional antenna for this). It works very well with the M17x, has better connection speeds to strips of the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz (this last has speeds really bad on the Broadcom/1510), it has not required to jump through the hoops to make it work properly and much more, it works with standard drivers and Intel maintains their drivers up to date. It is also much more reliable and faster as well, especially on the 5 GHz band, but also on the 2.4 GHz band.

  I hope that this guide will help you solve your Wi - Fi connection and allow you to enjoy speeds of complete wireless connection on your laptop Alienware M17x.

  Addendum: Quick links in this Guide

  Driver wireless Dell 5.60.18.8 version
  Download the driver for the Mini PCI Dell Wireless 1510 card used in this guide.

  Broadcom 943xx Wireless Driver version 5.60.18.41
  Download the latest Broadcom driver as an alternative to the Dell a little older driver who may or may not solve the problems more. Some have seen more success than with the 5.60.18.8 drivers with it (you need to use the 802.11n network adapter driver rather than at the entrance to Dell Wireless 1510 Wireless-N WLAN Mini Card in step II.15. the guide when you use this driver).

  Hello

  I suggest that you want to run system restore to the date it was working fine.

  System restore

  Once you do the system restore, then I suggest you to download and install the updates from the Download Center. http://www.Microsoft.com/en-in/download/default.aspx

• Backup/restore of errors Windows 8 feature is not available in a portable workstation environment

  I get the following error message when you try to disable the calendar jobs '

  Backup/restore of errors Windows 8 feature is not available in a portable workstation environment

  I'm on a desktop computer,

  Thank you James. This procedure has helped and I can see the option to backup again to 8/7 of window control center. What I did wrong in the first place was canceled the backup on an external disk, formatted the disc one plugged a new drive. Then, I was not able to click on the link "Backup." Its now fixed. Is some other problem with the problem of recognition of backup or drive window, try this procedure by Michael below.

  Follow these steps to remove the value of register Windows To Go:

  • Open regedit.exe
  • Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control
  • Delete this value: PortableOperatingSystem

  You'll probably notice that the problem reappears when you connect a USB drive in the PC. Subsequent removal of this drive will cause the PC to crash. This occurs because the unique identifiers of the USB drive and the internal HARD disk are the same. To resolve this problem, the simplest method is to "clean" the disc. A cleaning will destroy all data on the disk, so backup first.

  1. Open diskpart.exe
  2. Type "list disk" to determine the number of disk to the USB drive.
  3. Type "select disk #", where # is the number of disk you determined.
  4. Type "own."
  5. Type "exit".

  Restart your PC. You can use diskmgmt.msc and diskpart.exe to repartition your drive USB to use it normally.
