Windows Vista update (August 2010) left my laptop could not connect to the Internet via my home wireless network

Yesterday, on August 13, I installed - as guest - a number of updates to Windows Vista on my laptop. It seems that most of them is security updates. There are 16 in total, of which 9 are titled "A security update for Windows Vista". (For reference, they include KB978886, KB982214 and KB2079403).

Since the completion of this facility, I can't access the Internet using this laptop. I have a wireless router that works very well. Our other two laptops families (using Windows 7 and other Windows XP uses) are the two beautiful connection today by using the wireless router, so I know that the rest of the installation is fine.

Immediately before installing updates, everything worked very well; Since then, the problem exists. I made no other changes of configuration, facilities or any measure that might have caused this.

Please tell us how I can remedy this problem. So far my best idea is to uninstall all updates. I really don't want to do it, because I guess they are important!

Thank you!

However, when I checked it says he was doing routine checks the updates in vain when I told it to do a manually. So stick with McAfee you don't follow their procedure of fix would have upgraded my PC at risk by not updated and, as other listings of McAfee said since then, the application did not refer to his database of threats correctly. Actually, I removed and then installed Microsoft Security Essentials rather & my answer IE is faster I knew it [even though I had the Add-ons McAfee disabled for centuries].

    I had to run the McAfee Development removal a few times before and it caused a problem with the license if the PC was not connected to the internet during the abduction.

    Hello

    Maybe this can help.

    These steps and tell us where is the breaking point.

    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.

    Some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible set up the firewall correctly, otherwise totally uninstall and get rid of its remaining processes that permit the own local network traffic flow.

    If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

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

    Stack TCP/IP work should look like.

    Right-click on the wireless network connection card, select status, details and see if she got an IP address and the rest of the settings.

    Description is the data of the card making.

    The physical address is MAC of the card number.

    The xx must be a number between 0 and 255 (all xx even number).

    YY should be between 0 and 255

    ZZ should be between 0 and 255 (zz all the same number.)

    The date of the lease must be valid at the present time.

    * Note 1. IP that starts with 169.xxx.xxx.xxx isn't valid functional IP.

    * Note 2. There could be an IPv6 entries too. However, they are not functional for Internet or LAN traffic. They are necessary for Win 7 homegroup special configuration.

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

    Above everything is OK, you must be able to connect to the router.

    Connection to the router means that you can enter the IP of the router base in an address bar in one go, being able to connect and configure the router menus see.

    If it doesn't connect to the router, journal newspaper from any computer that can connect to the router wirelessly with a wire, disable wireless security, make sure that the wireless SSID broadcast is enabled and try to connect with no. wireless security.

  • Windows Vista update causes applications non - IE to be denied access to the internet

    I have a laptop Lenovo IdeaPad Y510 unfortunately comes with a Windows Vista Home Premium OS that has caused me a lot of problems with conflicts between her and others, package applications, and now I am forced to use my network at home for route information and documents that must move through the internet by sharing them with another computer Windows XP which is also configured exactly as my Lenovo IdeaPad Y510. I look forward to wean myself off of all MS products, possibly other that MS Office, I use a lot and plays always well for me to wire many years and updates/upgrades. Not the same for MS Windows Vista, however. My experience, similar to many other forum users, has been constantly frustrating over the years I've had to deal with it.  I lost a lot of time dealing with problems caused by code errors in the last set of MS Windows Vista updates that made all my package applications that require internet access unusable.

    I contacted the support of Lenovo and support forums for my problem, and they too cannot provide all the answers that address this issue that is causing me to spend much too much time I could use to work at a rate of $65 / hr, so you can see that this is not only an inconvenience.

    Before someone points me to the myriad other similar positions for possible answers, let me say that I probably have alread read it and tried all the suggested actions, without success. I need to REAL answers and REAL support, and I need it NOW.  Also, I don't think I should have to pay for the support which has been made necessary by the negligence of MS to test their updates for compatibility issues with the popular, free package critical applications for the safety of MS OS system of a user, such as AVG Free antivirus, ZoneAlarm Free firewall personal , OR who are competitors for their navigation on the web or by email client applications. I am not now under the other another firewall that MS Vista firewall having had to uninstall my firewall ZoneAlarm Free. I even had one of my other previously compatible and effective anti-malware/spyware apps, AdAware, uninstall Lavasoft. No matter what I did, which was suggested to me by MS resources support or Lenovo support resources, this problem, which began shortly after the last round of all the months of downloads to fix security and facilities, persists and cost me more money in revenue and lost time every day.

  • My laptop does not connect to the Internet wireless or Ethernet.

    Hi my laptop does not connect to Internet via Wi - Fi or Ethernet connection. He previously connected the two. The model is a portable HDX-18 1201 and runs the Windows Vista 64-bit operating system. I have had the laptop for a while now and this is the first time that this has happened. I tried to locate the network drivers but can't find them on the Device Manager. To my knowledge, I have not changed anything on the computer that may have caused this. If someone could help it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Richard

    Hi Richard,

    Search for the latest drivers for your model laptop from the HP site and then try if operate you, install it, for the wireless and Ethernet cards

    just download the drivers from the HP website through another computer, copy it to MemoryStick and install the drivers on your laptop and see if it detects it fine, and then it should work Fine.

  • My laptop does not connect to the internet, even if the wi - fi connection is available

    OK, I have a netbook ASUS T-100 with windows 8.1. Yesterday, while I was downloading a game software, a notice came up saying "Windows Defender has blocked a program to run. I trusted the software so I went Windows Defender and allowed the program to run. But I discovered that the program could have the potential of harmful effects to other startup add-ons and programs download without my permission (even if during the installation of the software, I REFUSED any other unwanted programs being installed). So, I opened the Panel and uninstalled everything that has been downloaded.

    This is where everything started to go weird. I thought everything was fine until I tried to open Google Chrome on my desk.  He said something like 'cannot be opened because this application may have been moved or copied. Same for Internet Explorer. I went on the start screen and tried to open Chrome and IE, but there was no answer. Then I thought maybe restart the laptop would be useful. So I restarted. Worst decision ever. After the reboot, there is no Chrome or IE. They simply disappeared! I tried to look for them, but it did not help.

    I tried to download Chrome from the store, but it wouldn't connect to the internet (even if it was connected to my router). It showed an error «0x80072efd» I went Windows Network Diagnostics and tried to solve the problem, and something else end up - "the remote device or resource wont accept the connection". I looked on the internet and there are solutions saying to disable security. So I tried to turn off Windows Defender and firewall, but even once, that does not solve anything. One of the alternatives was to do a system restore, but I don't think that this is necessary, just?

    P.S. I have an iPod touch and a family laptop that connects perfectly with WI - FI. Thus, there cannot be a router issue...

    I DON'T KNOW WHAT DO YOU HEEEELLLP PLEASE! I have an assignment due next week and I need my netbook for IT... any help would be greatly appreciated...

  • HP laptop could not connect to the netgear N600 router secure

    New laptop HP MAY connect to the Netgear N600 dual band router if NO guarantee is enabled, but it cannot if security is enabled on that either WPA, WPA2, WPA2-PSK regardless.  It can connect too well if wired (of course).

    I reloaded the drivers and all the usual remedies but not joy.  Also I tried using a USB WiFi adapter with the same result, unable to connect with security enabled.  All other devices connect very well including 2 Iphones, Tablet android, Apple TV, Apple MacBook pro, printer, etc. then it does seem like a router problem.

    Laptop is slightly, around the age of 6 months running Windows 8.  As a temporary workaround I disabled DHCP, security and peripheral isolation enabled 2.4 ghz radio router static address then attributed to the laptop, not a lot of security, but that's all I have.  I moved all devices except a (2.4 ghz only) iphone on the active side of 5 ghz on a different SSID with WPA2.

    It seems that the OS has a problem with the hold of encryption in the stack, or maybe it's a hardware problem.  Whatever it is, it works very well with an open WiFi but died completely when any type of security at all turned on, same WEP.  I arrived at the end of my knowledge here and short of a relatively new machine of retirement or try a full reload of the OS (Win 7 X 64 use), I'm stuck.  It is the only system to win 8 I worked (OS nasty if it is).

    Any ideas or suggestions?

    I know it's late, but there are probably people searching on the net because of this problem just as if I were stupid. I got a new laptop Windows 8.1 and plugged into my router to set up. Worked without problem. I unplugged the ethernet cable and jumped on the wireless, typed in my network key and hop, connected with no internet access or other useful functions. Long story short, eventually work was by using the automatic connection on the router (the one at the bottom that looks like a radio with 2 waves coming out of it) to connect the first time instead of manually typing the password.

    You will need to clear your computer auto-enregistré on the network so that you leave cool to do that. At least, I assume that. My laptop has a dual band wireless card, so I just shot on 5G and serves as my network "expenses. After he successfully connected to that one however, my laptop is now having no problem with the 2.4 G which was faulty in the first place.

    Who knows why he can be configured automatically, but don't let you not type the password yourself. In any case, I hope this helps someone!
