Windows XP cannot connect to DSL Wireless Modem - locked mode "Acquiring Network Address", never connects. Broadcom wireless card

I have a HP ZV5000 laptop, who has recently suffered a hard drive crash. I replaced the drive reinstalled the operating system and it is running Windows XP Home Professional with Service Pack 3 installed.

When you attempt to connect to a wireless network, it finds all those that are generally available, but won't connect.

The properties indicates that the laptop uses "Broadcom 802. "11b / g WLAN. (Broadcom website isn't much help. The site seems to be mostly press releases).

I am told that it worked (I can't confirm this, as the player crashed when I got it).

Any suggestions? If there is any other information necessary to solve this, please let me know and I'll be more than happy to provide.

Thanks in advance!

How do you reinstall Windows?

If you use a Microsoft Windows XP installation CD, you must install all of the drivers as well.  If you have reinstalled using any method HP supplies to 'restore factory State' you will have already installed the drivers.

If you can get to the Internet by connecting to the laptop using an Ethernet cable, you can go HERE and click the button "Scan Now" to make sure that you have all the correct drivers.

However, because you can see the available wireless networks, it seems that you have at least a certain driver installed for your wireless network card.

The usual reason that a wireless adapter cannot acquire a network address is the router's security settings are not allowing the connection.

The best way to deal with misconfigured security settings is to remove the 'profile' currently registered and try to connect again.

Open network connections (start > run > ncpa.cpl > OK)
Right-click on the icon for your wireless adapter and select Properties
Click the Wireless Networks (see screenshot)
If the "Use Windows to configure my wireless network" box is NOT checked, you use a third-party utility to configure the adapter and need to read its User Guide to determine how to remove the 'profile' to connect to your router.
Assuming that the box is checked, find SSID (network name) router in the list of "Preferred networks" and click 'delete '.
OK your way out
Find your network in the list of available networks, and then click 'connect '. Make sure you enter the password correctly.

If this does not work, the next step would be to connect to the router by an Ethernet cable, temporarily remove all security settings that are configured on the router, remove the "My network places" configuration as above and try to connect again.

If you need help to get to and the configuration of the router, please provide the make, model and hardware version, as appropriate (check the label).

  • Windows 7 cannot connect to a shared printer (error 0x0000000d code)

    I try to add a laptop to my home network and can not get the printer to connect.  Everything is wireless.

    The main PC uses Windows 7 Home Premium.  32-bit operating system.

    The new laptop uses Windows 7 Professional.  64-bit operating system.

    The all-in-one is Kodak ESP9 + 0250.

    The laptop recognises the printer on the network, but I get the error message: Windows 7 cannot connect to a shared printer (error 0x0000000d code)

    Any ideas on how to make the printer connect?

    The usual reason is no driver on the laptop. You should install the drivers and the software of the printer on each computer on the network. Once this is done, it will connect well. The network itself, will show the printer as a gift, just the laptop won't connect ' cuz he doesn't know how.

    During this process, I have disabled the firewall, but that did not help. However, I noticed 'tweaks' accessed via the tab 'Advanced' in 'Microsoft Firewall' which looked like, they must be checked in order to access the internet. I checked these and reintroduced the firewall. After I got things working, I unchecked them and things still worked so I obviously don't understand what these parameters.

    The solution:

    (1) I have to go straight from the modem cable to the computer. I can't have a cable modem, router wireless, computer, even if using hard wire, and even if this same configuration works with another computer. Also, I can't use a cable length to go from modem to the computer. So, it seems to have had a problem of cable length. Power problem? Only connected to this computer devices are the mouse, the keyboard and the Ethernet. Would not this be fixed with an upgrade of the power supply? Or is it due to the quality of the Ethernet hardware on the motherboard? It's a Dell Vostro 200.

    (2) in back and forth between configurations while following the problem, you must think to unplug the modem to reset between each configuration. You may have stumbled upon the solution, otherwise he's not shot. Also, I unplugged the cable from the modem when you reset data cable - do not know if it was necessary. I wanted to limit the degrees of freedom that I had a lot, as it was.

  • Windows 7 cannot connect to internet Bootcamp

    Hi all! Now, I know that there have been many discussions going around all sorts of places on this issue, but the sad part is that I could not well answer truly adapted to my situation. So first off, I got my windows 7 with bootcamp on my macbook 13' pro a week ago and the internet worked perfectly well. But I had problems putting games on the windows section, so I removed the partition and re-bootcamped windows 7 once again. This time, my game worked perfectly, but now internet cannot connect at all. The only difference between the different times that I partitioned the laptop, this is the second time that I actually put the OS disk in because the first time I forgot. If all the drivers and others have been installed at the second time around.

    When I try to connect to the internet and troubleshooting it said only that "wireless isn't a valid IP configuration" I do not completely understand. And the funny thing is that I have about 3 other computers using the same router everything on windows 7 with absolutely no problem. I tried rebooting the machine and the router, enter the network name and password manually, refresh and reversing the network card and a few other unnecessary things. However, I don't have a Hello on my computer and I don't know if I really needed, because it seems like that was a problem.

    Sorry for the words really not technical, but I am not that computer savvy, especially with regard to such things. I'd appreciate any help, thank you in advance!

    You have installed the Windows drivers instead of Apple's Boot Camp drivers. Start with step 18:

  • Windows 7 cannot connect to World Of Warcraft

    Hi there, my friend recently bought a new laptop with Windows 7 running on this topic from Dell. The new OS is nice and smooth, but something with this set-up allow him to connect to WoW, when you sign in. He has been able to download patches and updates, but just cannot connect. When he puts in his password, he tries to connect for about one second and starts an error he is incapable. With that it is fast I think it's something to do with its firewall. After disabling the windows firewall and disable the antivirus, we still have the problem. No it's not the router because I have my laptop connected to the server just WoW beside him on the same connection exactly to the same router. I've seen others have this kind of problem, but there is never really no answer. Help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    FreakPeach,
    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Forum.  Well I must say that I am under WoW on Windows 7 without any problem.  Since everything seems to work fine, I can only think of a few things for you to try now.
     
    First make sure that your friend connects with his account Battle.net and not the old name of WoW.  Have him connect you on your PC just to be sure nothing upward with his log in.

    Then (and I know that you said that is not the router) check the configuration of the router.  Just make sure that your PC is not in the demilitarized zone, or is it not any port forwarding setup just for your connection.  Just check the WoW server settings are global.

    If the router is good then you may want to Clean Boot the PC and see if that helps.  Maybe another program is in the way.

    If these things check all out them and you can't always get connected I would try the Support of WoW because they have better information on this matter.

    I hope that your friend will be Arthas and running and fragging with a mohawk in a very near future grenade!  :)  Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

  • HELP linksys wireless USB adapter: (model # WUSB54GC) "acquiring network address" not actually connect to the internet! ?? Windows xp pro

    Hello. Ive been at this for 4 days now, I can't find a solution. I'll try to remember as much as possible regarding what ive tried.

    here goes...

    long story short, due to unfortunate system errors, I have reinstalled my OS XP home to xp pro. PC works great now! problem is... now my wireless adapter wont connect to the internet.

    When I had xp home edition installed, I could just plug in the adapter, and a few seconds, it would connect to the favorite network. (with all settings on Auto) no problem.

    now that ive put in OS, it's just cycling "absorbing the network address" infinitely...

    his watch the access point, the preferred network, showing the signal strength and do not show errors in Device Manager. right-click and choosing fix do not work. It gets stuck @ renewing IP address scene. its not send or receive packets under status.

    He EXPECTED to be functional? It uses a 10-digit WEP key.

    Ive tried both the linksys wireless monitor and the windows zero configuration utilites.i since removed the lynksys software screen because it never worked anyway. WZC is that used to work on xp family.

    I used " ipconfig/all" to determine the values of the network on the host pc. I tried manually punching in those values (IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS settings, according to the suggestion of a networking of friends) on the adapter wireless itself; using tci/ip options. still does not connect.

    Ive tried different USB ports, all that seems to do is to change the number of the wireless connection.

    It just does not connect to the internet.

    I have the driver I need for this after contacting linksys. I also disabled windows firewall and the firewall/antivirus of 3rd party associated with the network.

    He knows questions w / windows xp professional and this particular wireless adapter? (WUSB54GC) that's the only reason why I can think of that is not connected.

    what I forget? internet hard wiring of an ethernet port is not an option because there is no ethernet card installed in the pc.

    any help is greatly appreciated in advance.

    Thank you.

    Sorry it took so long for me to return.

    It was a setting under working group which had to be adjusted from reinstalling windows. (something that has been disabled I forgot, don't remember what it was since its been like 3 weeks)

    that he got the running dhcp... That is to say. allowed 4 dependence to work progrmas, boom, problem solved.

    the adapter now works with the automatic settings, using WEP encryption. as it should, and it was.

    Thank you very much for the replies, I appreciated the help.

    Hello

    Keep the changes and open the wireless. For example, to disable security in the router (turn on when to managed to connect).

    You can also try the wireless in a friends house, or an Internet café to get a frame of reference for this behavior elsewhere.

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

    Wi - Fi in general.

    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

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

    The wireless card drivers much also install utility wireless of the seller.

    Make sure that if there are teas from Wireless Utility of seller does not work with the native Windows wireless utility (Service WLAN).

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

    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 .

    party like Hello and NetMagic 3rd network managers can block local traffic too.

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

    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.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/status-NIC.jpg

    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.

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

    A message in the small window that says connected wireless doesn't means that you are really a valid functional connection.

    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.

    Enable security wireless after you eat to make a functional connection.
