Windows 8 "not connected to the network" but it is, shows computers and can connect to the internet. How can I fix it

I used the Windows 8 Pro Upgrade on a Windoxs XP pro installation.  Everything works except that the network and sharing Center indicates that the computer is not connected to a network, but it is.  I can files in front on other computers on the network (at home) and I can access the internet.  The active profile is public, although it should be private. I created this to access the homegroup during installation.

I'm trying to get a first HD Homerun operation and if Media Center does not have any network, he sees no tuner either.

What can I do to get this working properly.

a. no red X

1. I tried to download a different driver, but it didn't work at all so cancelled.  To check if it was a pilot, I bought a usb wireless adapter.  I've disabled the ethernet connection and used the wireless connection.  The results are the same regardless of which connection I use.

2. ran every convenience store without success

3. services were what they were supposed to be

4 safe mode is worse.  No network connection (cannot see other computers in all), although internet is accessible

5 start gives the same results. "You are not connected to a network" yet the computers on the network are visible and accessible top records.  Internet is available.

I installed the software very little on this computer (just installed Win 8 last week.)

The only installed software is software HP Officejet L7680, Brother HL5250DN & first Silicon Dust HD Homerun software driver. I'm trying to set up basically as a DVR, so very little will be on it.

The only thing I can think is that I started with the installation of XP has been implemented using a VPN to connect to our network at work. This means that the computer should be part of the field it. Is it possible victory 8 retrieves these settings and now here's what's causing my problems? (I think that very few came from an installation of XP, but I noticed that some parameters met).

I plan to start again and re-installed Win 8 a last ditch effort... If you can offer any suggestions on repairing this conditioin, please provide me with the best way to re - install Win 8 as a clean install (without the things I installed). I'll then make sure that the network is working correctly before installing anything.

*************************************************************************************************************

A follow-up for this reading. My problem was apparently caused by the upgrade of XP and usinging Dungeon files and SETTINGS. Although there are very limited items brought back an installation of XP, something is buried somewhere off network connections.

To solve this problem, Windows 8 has a new feature called reset. This essentially Setup all over again if you choose the option to delete files. You must enter the product key again when you do this. This is a clean install.  I had to update the graphics card drivers, add Media Center back, install HD Homerun Prime, run the Advisor of cable, making the TV configuration and finally got it works as I had expected.

  • Unable to connect to wireless networks more. ("Windows could not connect to (SSID)")

    Hello!

    Something very strange is happening with my laptop (dv6-3060ee). Up to this day at noon, everything worked well, including the wireless network. So, I set my computer to Hibernate and came to the House of my parents. As I turn it on and try to connect to the wireless here, I can't. I get this error "Windows could not connect to (name of the network).

    I'm on W7 Home Premium 64-bit and the card wireless in an Atheros 9285 b/g/n (model number can be a problem, I have it does not properly check).

    Things to consider:

    -I don't know that this is not a router problem or hardware WiFi card because:

    1. I can connect to the router and get internet access on my phone and with the other computer normally.

    2. on the laptop, I can not connect to the network without wire inside W7, BUT with HP QuickWeb (this system of Opertaing before loading windows), I can normally connect to the network and access to internet.

    -Have you ever tried, without success:

    1 reinstall the driver for the wireless card / Unistalling the driver and install it again

    2. change the encryption on the router. (Even with no encryption I can't connect)

    3. of course, restarting the computer, turn off/on of the network card, reset the router

    So, I'm sure it's a problem with Windows. I did some research here and in other places and other people seem to have the same problem, but I couldn't find any solution.

    I didn't install any software today which could cause conflicts.

    So, can someone help me, please?

    Thank you

    Thank you for your help, but I'd already sorted.

    The problem was really the driver, an update had been installed by the HP update program and it makes the device stop working. This problematic driver was March, I can't remember the version number.

    I went to the Device Manager and pressed on "Roll Back Driver". Windows restored to an October/2009 driver, 8.0.0.238 version number, and now it works as it should.

    Hi 1234Tony,

    First of all, I suggest you that you also scan your laptop for infection by the virus. Second, reset TCP/IP stack Winsock settings. This could correct mistakes involving internet connectivity as a result of problems of installation of network software, due to a virus, trojan or malware infection or even due to disinfection of spyware security software.

    To repair and put back the Windows Vista

    1. Click the Start button.
    2. Type Cmd in start it the search text box.
    3. Press Ctrl-Shift-Enter keyboard shortcut to run command as administrator prompt. Allow elevation request.
    4. Type netsh winsock reset in the command line shell, and then press the Enter key.
    5. Restart the computer

  • Windows could not automatically detects the network proxy settings

    Recently, I noticed a triangle appearing little attention with my network icon in the taskbar. When I right click and solve problems, it comes with this message. Windows could not automatically detect the network proxy settings. My internet has been really slow lately, but I wonder if there is a problem with my network? or is - something that my ISP has set?

    (This message is intended for all problem reports)

    Check the Internet Options (Internet Explorer tools or configuration panel / /Connections Options tab / LAN Settings and make sure that Proxy Server is not checked even if you use Firefox.)  Check the settings in Firefox Tools / Advanced connections / settings (should be use system proxy settings or no proxy).

    Search for malware, especially using malwarebytes.

    Try these commands in this order in an elevated command prompt.  Not the first first, then reboot and try.  If still bad, try the second.

    netsh winsock reset
    netsh int ipv4 reset

  • Windows could not automatically bind the Protocol IP on the network card stack.

    Hello

    I installed an Edimax EW-7718Un network adapter that does not connect to the internet. I installed the same device on my Windows Vista laptop and it works fine, this isn't a problem with the product or my BT Home Hub. I checked the Edimax website and this product is compatible with Windows 7, and I have the latest drivers for it. I did the following to try to resolve the problem:
    -I've already been on the adapter properties, and clicked on "update drivers", the system says that the network card is working properly and that the drivers are up to date. I also installed the latest drivers on the Edimax website but the issue is not resolved.

    When I solve the problem, he told me that "Windows could not automatically bind the IP protocol for the network card stack."

    Please note that the settings are correct as the TCP/IP and DNS are set on "automatically get an IPv6/4 address server / DNS automatically".

    Also of note is that in "Network connections" in the Control Panel, the device is listed as "Disabled", I click to activate it but it does nothing, the network connection is still disabled. When I click on "analyze what" the same message "Windows could not automatically bind the IP protocol stack to the adapter network." appears.

    I also have compeltely re-installed Windows 7 and use the system restore, neither worked.

    I hope you can solve this problem.
    Thank you
    Mickey

    Hi Mickey888,

    According to the information provided by the Edimax website this particular model supports up to Windows Vista only.

    http://www.Edimax.us/HTML/English/products/EW-7718Unspec.htm

    You can try to install the same in compatibility mode and see if that solves the problem. To run the troubleshoot compatibility utility follow the link below.

  • Windows could not connect to the user profile Service

    I couldn't use my own laptop for six months. Whenever I try to connect to my profile (profile/ONLY the Administrator profile), it gives me this:

    -My personal profile seems gone.

    -Impossible to connect to the internet (my connection is fine, I use another laptop on the network even in the same House now)

    -Return to default settings

    -Slower than usual start.

    I tried the solutions that have been everywhere online and none of them worked for me. Help, please? I'd like to have my laptop back...

    Additional info: Im using a laptop Windows 7 Dell Inspiron (1564) and there is no point of restoration since before the error. I tried the Regedit fix and it didn't work and it doesn't let me delete the profile owner / administrator as to make a new one.
