Windows Vista network card issues: limited connectivity

Similar Questions

• Windows Vista continues to try to connect to the VirtualProfile in network connections.

  I was helping my brother set up its new Netgear Wireless USB adapter in Windows Vista and kept running into the same problem.  Once the adapter has been installed, Vista would continue to try to connect to a VirtualProfile under network connections which would interfere with the connection of the profile.  I had my brother take the VirtualProfile and then it connected correctly.  However, after each reboot, the connection of VirtualProfile appears every time and we need to start over the process.  A way to remove this VirtualProfile permanently and why what is happening?  Thanks for any input.

  Hello Flash4,

  Thank you for choosing Microsoft answers forum for Windows Vista.

  I suggest you go to your network card making and download / install the latest drivers.

  Also I suggest that you check your system for corrupted files. You use the tool (SFC.exe) System File Checker to check and repair corrupt system files. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. open an elevated command prompt.

  2. to do this, click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.
   
  3. type the following command and press ENTER:

  sfc/scannow

  The sfc/scannow command. analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

  Hope this information is useful.

  Thank you.

• Windows Vista Ultimate Media Center cannot connect to Xbox 360

  Hi, I can not connect my PC Ultimate Windows Vista for my Xbox 360 as an Extender. My configuration is:

  Xbox connected to the router, PC connected to the router
  Xbox connects to Live (e.g. internet) very well
  PC connects to the internet

  Here is a list of the things I've tried so far:

  Tried to connect Xbox normally (using the digit 8, many times)
  Computer restarted/Xbox
  Reset the router
  Installed all Windows updates
  Turned off the Windows Firewall
  Turned on Windows Firewall, with exceptions for Media Center Extenders
  Opens the ports on my router
  UPnP enabled on the router
  Unchecked "filter multicast" on router
  Updated drivers for the network adapter on PC
  Checked the event viewer for a conflict event program:
  Source: Media Center Remote Manager
  Event ID: 8
  Description: Unauthorized window was detected while running the Media Center experience, Program_name window, under the name of file Program_name.exe
  I tried to delete the certificate (it did not exist) for Media Center according to the http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/932163. I could not uninstall the Extender (part II) well because it is not installed.

  I am pretty sure that the problem is with the Xbox or PC (and not on the network), since up to last month, I've had a laptop XP Media Center using the Xbox as an Extender very well, using settings and identical network hardware. In this context, I unplugged the connection of the laptop Media Center Xbox, and I erased the extender connection data according to the http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932208/en-us. (This does not work either.)

  Notice that I can see the Xbox when you view the network on my PC devices.

  I've been at this for hours! Thanks in advance for any help.

  Munch444,
  What anti-malware-virus\firewall\anit programs you have installed?  You can try adding it after a clean boot to try to exclude another program interfering.
  You can also run System File Checker to help eliminate a possible corrupted system file.  Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

  I have a Compaq Presario CQ61-410US (WA974UA) which is equipped with an Atheros AR9285 B/G/N wireless network adapter.   The laptop Internet access was fast and stable when using a Wi - Fi N.   Its pilot AR9285 was the initial version of the 8.0.0.172 factory.  But because there were so many subsequent driver updates, I've updated the display driver version from the support page 8.9.9.316 (sp48755.exe).  However, after updating the driver, I immediately lost Internet access.   The laptop is running Windows 7 Home Premium with Service Pack 1 and 64-bit.

  I have read several messages from the HP Forum and tried a lot of things, including the installation of various updates driver later thanks to the version 10.0.0.222, but I still can't the driver to connect to the Internet.  I also changed my router "n" has only B/G as the AR9285 pilot has a history of problems with Wireless N.  Even back to the original driver version 8.0.0.172 provides an Internet connection.

  Any advice would be appreciated.

  Hello:

  I'm glad that you were able to restore your internet connection.

  I'd go with the latest driver HP vice one from another source.

  The only time wherever I go outside HP for wireless network drivers is if you have an Intel wireless card.

  My recommendation is to use the free MS Security Essentials antivirus/antispyware, which never interfere with how "things important works" on your PC, such as network connections.

  Method 1:

  Perform a clean boot.

  Put your boot system helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.

  See the following article in the Microsoft KB for more information on how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:

  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Note:

  After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

  Method 2:

  If this does not work then you can try updating the graphics card driver by visiting the manufacturer's website

• WIndows Vista not finding free Wifi connections

  I am running Windows Vista on an Inspiron 1420.  I used to connect to open wifi connections and now windows won't recognize that my connection at home I put in place manually.  I can see the other connections wifi with my computer, but windows will not recognize them.  This function is used to work and now it won't.  Any help would be great?

  KristinTX,

  I've been on the Forum and it seems that there are many people who have problems with the WiFi Catcher on an Inspiron 1420. You can see their support Forum.
  http://en.community.Dell.com/forums/default.aspx?GroupID=9

  However, there are a few things you can check.
  (1) did you use Dell QuickSet to enable and configure the switch to control WiFi network connections?

  This seems to be one of the conditions for their WiFiCatcher to work.
  (2) have you used the BIOS (System Setup program) to control WiFi network connections?
  (3) you have the BIOS update for your Inspiron 1420 system? The latest version is A10 with a date of 01/07/2009.
  (4) I recommend that you check all the driver updates especially for networking to see if this will help your question.

• In windows Vista (Home Premium) Remote Desktop connection does not work correctly

  I installed and re-installed my Vista (Home premium) 2 times already because of the remote desktop connection.  I have a problem connecting from another laptop running windows 7 to connect to my desktop running Vista.  The remote control works on the other hand the meaning of desktop running vista, laptop running windows 7 Professional.
  Looking at the Vista under \System\Remote setting\Remote tab which shows the remote assistance box, but the Office box where you can choose what type of connection can be established remotely is missing.

  I went though all as responses to forum, but nothing helped.  Even in a "sfc/scannow" command prompt running did not help.  It is said that he finds corrupted files, but it cannot solve all corrupted files.  That's why I reinstalled windows hoping to fix this problem but WITHOUT SUCCESS.

  Can anyone help?  I've attached a screenshot of what I see in vista.

  You can connect FROM an original version of Windows to another computer, but you cannot connect to an original version of Windows.

  It is not an 'idea' it's hard cold fact that is at least 12 years old.

• Windows Vista activation key issues

  I have a Toshiba laptop, has problems with the firewall and had to take it to get fixed and when I got back with him all my stuff on Microsoft Word is "locked." I can't access any of my stuff out there, it's wanting to enter me an activation code to activate it. My laptop came with Windows Vista already installed and when I received the product key on the back of my computer to activate it again once it says it is incorrect.

  Is there anything else I should do? The only disc that came with the computer is one that installs everything here from scratch, I need to use?

  Thank you

  If you mean that you can not turn on, try to do it manually:

  To activate manually, go to start, search, and type in slui 4 enter.  Enter your country and press Next.  You will be on a screen with a phone number and a bunch of codes below.  Dial the number and browse automatic guests until you get to a human being.  Have your handy product code because it will be asked.  Explain the situation, but it's the same PC and only installed on this PC.  They should give you a code to enter on this screen to activate Vista.

  To solve the real problem (if even the activation group will not help because of this), repost the genuine advantage Forum at:http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/genuinevista/threads.

• Broadcom NetXtreme II 5709 quad port NETWORK card issues

  Environment:

  -V4.1 ESXi on:

  -3 x servers Dell R710 (48GB of RAM) with SAS shared storage (No iSCSI) each with:

  -4 x Gigabit Broadcom PowerEdge R710 BCM5709 Ethernet ports on the motherboard (works well)

  -2 x Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5709 1000Base-T on card 2 ports (works well)

  -4 x Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5709 1000Base-T on a card 4 ports (problems!)

  Have installed ESXi 4.1 fees to each server.  When you configure the management network, I noticed that:

  -Server ESX1 correctly displays the 10 cards

  -Server ESX2 incorrectly shows 8 network interface cards (2 on the card 4 ports are "missing")

  -ESX3 server incorrectly displays 6 network interface cards (all 4 on the card 4 ports are "missing")

  VMware, I downloaded the latest drivers Broadcom 5709 for ESXi v4.1 and installed via the vSphere CLI (successfully) and restarted.  No difference.

  I exchanged the cards around in the server and 'mistakes' follow the cards.

  2 / 3 of the cards of brand new (I hope!) which have been purchased in an order are so apparently defective.  Maybe bad batch?

  Should I go with trying to replace these cards with the same model of 4-port Broadcom NetXtreme II 5709 cards... or should I try a different provider (for example a 4-port Intel card)?

  Suggestions welcome.

  In fact the network cards should be picked up in the order the PCI ID as described in example http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1002315

  Maybe it's allows you to run a 'Reset configuration data' in the BIOS of the server after connecting the network cards.

  The really strange thing is numbering ESX1, where even on a NETWORK card ports are not in ascending order.
