Wireless and LAN problem with Thinkpad

Im having serious problems with my Thinkpad T61p on my wireless and LAN drivers (at least I think it is the drivers, could be something else). This can be a long explanation, but please bear with me.

Yesterday, after seeing an example on the net, I tried to connect my xbox 360 to my laptop. I thought I'd be able to play on the xbox wireless using the laptop as a gateway to my router. I never had any problems before with logins, and had the wireless on my home network.

After plugging in an Ethernet cable into the laptop and xbox (following the instructions, I had online), I became "Network connections", (start-> Control Panel-> network connections). I had used a cable to connect your desktop to my laptop before and normally when you go to network connections, the connection between them appears as an icon. This time, has no icon.

I decided to try and create a connection. At this point my wireless was still working because I was always browsing the net. On the left sidebar, I clicked on "create a new connection". Hit next, and then click the radio button "set up an advanced connection." "Accept inbound connections" option box pressed, the next button. Finally, a link has been created, but when I went to go again my wireless connection dropped. I went back and removed the link to "network connections".

I opened "Logins" and tried to connect to my home profile. No results. I tried clicking on 'Search' to see were there any other networks available and all I kept getting was: "the wireless radio is turned off. You want to turn on? ". Press 'Yes', landmark of waiting a few seconds, click on 'Search' again, same message. No matter what I did, I couldn't get the wireless to turn on. So I found this thread:

http://forums.Lenovo.com/LNV/board/message?board.ID=T_Series_Thinkpads&thread.ID=3314&view=by_date_a...

and decided it was best to update access connections. It came as a default as version 4.42 so I updated to 5.12. Rebooted and tried again. Now the wireless starts up fine, but when I look for my router connections, some networks are located.

Next to this thread:

http://forums.Lenovo.com/LNV/board/message?board.ID=Special_Interest_Utilities&thread.ID=524

I updated my drivers and countless other things without success. I've updated wireless drivers from this page and dial-up connections to:

http://www-307.IBM.com/PC/support/site.WSS/document.do?sitestyle=Lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-67853#wireless

Another strange thing I see is that when I try to 'Create a new connection' 'Network connections', select 'Create a home or small business network', keep the progression through each other, it is to choose connections it is said that both my wireless and LAN are disconnected.

Wireless that I use is: Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AG

LAN: Intel 82566MM Gigabit Network Connection

It is not to have problems in Device Manager and that these two are enabled.

Does anyone have an idea of what is after occurrence and how I could fix this? Any help is greatly appreciated, because I need it for work soon.

It sets obtained.

Essentially had to uninstall the network drivers (not enough I know) from Device Manager and reboot. After the wireless and LAN is back!

    Help, please!
    (answer in German would be nice, ill try English first tho)

    I installed ubuntu 12.04 on my toshiba NB510-108 (PLL72E-00R011GR) and then I was not able to go online via wlan or lan same kable.
    After some effort to install the drivers through ubuntu I have installed windows 7 starter edition back but now windows does not install the ethernet / wireless drivers realtek or atheros network device.
    so I tried to install all the drivers wireless by http://toshiba-asia.com/sg/support/drivers/ but now when I try to run these drivers after loading them down windows 7 cannot install correctly, it says that there is a compatibility issue. I tried to run these drivers in compatibility mode for win xp sp1 and win vista sp1 without success.

    Also, I installed all the drivers for my model of http://de.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=DE here with some of them have been properly installed and even when I get my system to a point where I find the two network devices work as 'good' in my windows Device Manager, the following problem occurs again:

    Someone here could help me please? It would be really nice

    Hello

    I m wondering why you have the same problems of connection using WLan and LAN.
    I mean its not really necessary to configure anything to get a connection to the local network works.
    The router must support, and DHCP must be enabled in order to assign the IP address automatically.

    I recommend that you check the TCP/IP settings in your network WLan and LAN connections.
    In TCP/IPv4, you can view the properties. The INVESTIGATION period and all other options should be set to assign automatically. You should also disable/uninstall the TCP/IPv6 and must use TCP/IPv4

    By the way: you have an antivirus and firewall software installed? If so, remember that the two don't affect the WLan/LAN connection.

    I'be been on the net looking for an answer requarding my Linksys E3000 router and my card adapter Mini PCI Dell/Broadcom DWLAN (DraftN) haf installed on my laptop Dell Inspiron N7010 XL 17 R and the inability to configure the card so he gets the same speed-172 wireless MBps_ as does our HP Vista Home Premium SP2 Laptop and Desktop! Yes, I spoke with Dell who seem to think that all their problems Tech and resolutions can be found with their technicians of the Manila-based Super (Word of warning-do NOT enter into the world of the concierge program of Dell Tech who, after having been assured it is based in the United States, I agreed to be a beta tester and lost my harddrive despite numerous attempts to stop the technicians to access remotely to do stupid things - but the new live Webcam and learn the hard drive but got none of my software original Dell with it as promised, too - another story). In any case, after playing with the DWLAN share of Dell said they question-nope Linksys ' cuz of course my other two computers would be quick at the speed they do. So I get ahold of Comcast, who of course told me, it's a matter of DELL. I have the WPA2 encryption on a network secure, but because my router there is no way to set up a "secure" network guest unless I have disable access to him (seems odd, he says: it is not guaranteed when someone trying to pass over the network, has knowledge password-weird with this router) it is anyway with this mini half DWLAN and the fact that it is not near the speed as the two other wireless adapters. My problem is with the speed I found all kinds of tips for use between Comcast Modem and Linksys router to make your network hum. What I want for now is someone to tell me how to configure this adapter on this Dell computer, so it does the job, it should. I have a program of diagnosis with her and from what I see, I must get off channel 1 as there is too much interference, but before I go and change the settings of the router, I want the adapter to work - especially since it's about 100 Mbps slower than our other wireless adapters. Does anyone know what should be the correct settings for this DWLAN 1501 or that I now need a new adapter in this laptop as well? Thanks for your help.

    LindaSView

    Hi Linda,.

    Have you tried to forget an instant wireless and bypass the router and cable connect directly to the modem to see if you get the speed you want in this way?  Yes, I know that this means to temporarily suspend the internet connection to the local network and also means the creation of a special no wireless connection for this computer.  But it could help determine if the problem is the computer and the router or wireless adapter - which excluding at least.

    If it works fine, then you can pass the wireless problem.  Otherwise, if it is still slow with a direct link, then you may need to consider another problem is involved and the router and adapter can actually be very well and you need to focus on all that is the bottleneck.

    I'm suggesting this to eliminate the possibilities that can be the underlying cause, while you spend your time on the development of bad (although I admit that I think that you are right and it is more likely - it can be useful a test just to be sure).

    Good luck!

  • HP 550 wireless and Bluetooth problem on win 7

    Hello

    I had a problem with the wireless and bluetooth connection, since I upgraded to windows 7 x 64

    The problem with the wireless, it's that I can't find not all devices wireless in range (even if I have a wireless router at 2 meters far from providing internet to a laptop computer and two mobile phones)

    I tried the drivers on the HP site, but I only need to support vista x 86 drivers.

    I also tried the drivers from a previous post on this Board link here (the broadcom wireless drivers) and even if they normally show on Device Manager window, always get a "turn wireless capability on" when I solve the problem. And Yes, the light on the wireless button is in blue (not yellow)

    The other thing with bluetooth is that I get some unknown bluetooth devices on the window of device as in this photo manager.

    I have no idea what to do now so please help.

    Thanks in advance.

  • Can I connect to the Deskjet 3050 wireless and LAN?

    I have connected to a new deskjet 3050 by WiFi. My laptop and iPhone worked well. I have an old desk top that has no WiFi. Can I also connect it to the 3050 by LAN? The office is connected to the router by LAN so it mails to my hpeprint but I would like to connect it directly to the 3050.

    Hello

    The HP Deskjet 3050 include wireless connectivity options and USB, the printer does not include any LAN interface...

    The printer connected to your wireless router, connection from the desktop to the same router via an Ethernet connection is sufficient, the type of conntaction used network is not serious as long as both devices connected to the same router.

    Make sure that ethernet cable connected to your router with a desktop computer and run the installation by selecting the wireless connection, the device should be detected on the network...

    If you wanted to can use a USB for PC connection, you can do the same. the wireless and USB connection can be used simultanly.

  • New and strange problem with Rhapsody to go on my Sansa Fuze

    Have a Fuze with 8GB micro SD 8 GB card inside and use for a long time without any problem with Rhapsody. Recently, I had not synchronized for a long time and got the message to play the tracks of my subscription, I need to sync with Rhapsody. So I don't tell me, no problem, and I do. The synchronization works very well and I get the message Rhapsody, it's reading the tracks on my Sansa and I get the message that it updates the internal memory on my Sansa. Then everything is finished and when I click on the internal or external memory, Rhapsody, I get the message that all is well and she sees all my Sansa great Flickr photos. I even put a couple of new albums of Rhapsody on the SD card in my Sansa. Once again, no problem.

    BUT when I disconnect the Sansa (again once, normal behavior with the green bar on the Sansa screen and the message it refreshes my media), he always says I have to synchronize to play the tracks on my subscription.

    Have tried resetting the sansa, tried the sansa when logged in to rhapsody, but nothing seems to solve this problem of license. How can I fix?   Thanks a lot for your help

    Ah, I leave you with the secret handshake to reset the secure clock.  Normally, this is done in this last step, when you transfer a track to the device.

    Open the client Rhapsody 4 and plug your rocket.

    Now for the tricky part.  Crack the knuckles and fingers ready.  Press and hold the [CTRL] + [SHIFT], then right-click on the "rocket" in the Sources pane.

    There you go.  Select Reset secure clock.

    See if the device is now happy.

    If all else fails, use the Format command on the "rocket", which will erase all media device, and then start over by allowing first and transfer some test tracks.

    My theory is that something is wrong with your secure clock...  Let me know how it goes!

  • Webview from landscape orientation to portrait mode causes the font size to become smaller and a problem with the context Menu

    Hi, I have a webview with inline html. It works fine except that when I pass in landscape mode, the screen fills fine and the police grows, but when I go back to portrait fonts are tiny, even smaller then when initially in the portrait. I am installing this on a Z10 with cascades 10.1 SDK. Is this a Bug somewhere in the SDK or BB10?

    Another problem I have is in Web mode, the shortcut menu appears when I touch a Word. I is no need to use the context menu. How can I get rid of him. In the case where I would like to someday use this menu, I would need to add code to it. I can't find the code. Where can I find it?

    Thanks for your help

    Concerning

    Roland

    I' to propose taying far WebView as much as possible and using TextArea (with type HTML). There are still a few bugs present in WebView that make it unpleasant to use.

    You cannot get rid of the context menu, so it will disappear once you remove WebView. You can still share with other methods.

    This may seem more work and it's probably, but it's going to do to improve the user experience and fewer headaches for you.

  • Contacts synchronization to Smartphones blackBerry and calendar - problems with Outlook Connector (and other things).

    Hello world

    I just got my first BlackBerry (storm) and this is my first post on the forums.  I read around a lot and found pieces of this problem but no definitive answer (which I understand).  So, I know it's a delicate subject, but really hope that someone can help you.

    FYI, I use Windows Vista and Outlook 2003 with the connector Outlook synchronize my e-mail, contacts and calendar on my Windows Live Hotmail account.

    I installed the Desktop Manager software V.4.7 and crossed to set up > sync and selected Outlook for Contacts.  The wizard all seems to work OK but then when I press "Finish" I get the error message ' file is does more part of the system data source or the couldnot folder is located.

    I partially understand the idea that my Contacts are not in Outlook, they are in my hotmail/live account.  My question is how can I work around this problem and import my contacts to the BlackBerry?  It will not accept an exported .pst file or can it link directly to hotmail?

    (On the basis of the advice on the forum), I found is you go into Outlook and adjust the settings of your e-mail account to send incoming emails into "Personal folder" instead of "* @hotmail.co.uk ' then he manages to pass the error message, however, I found no data calendar or contact in my outlook personal folders for BlackBerry to synchronize with a time that I did."

    I'll try to do a few requests on a Microsoft forum on the features between Outlook and Hotmail to see if there is an easy way to get my data anywhere in the personal folders so that the BlackBerry it can sync from there.  I'm afraid to lose emails or functionalitly to the Outlook Connector on my PC to subsequently change the default e-mail folder.

    Sorry for the length of the message but thought the more detail the better - thanks in advance for any help you can offer,

    Al.

    Just in case anyone else has this problem, I got a work around (not a solution, but it works).  In Outlook, go to Contacts - export to file and select: separation by comma (Windows). CSV file - save it to your PC.

    Then open a Yahoo mail account (if you have not already one) go to Classic view, Contacts and to the right of the screen, there is an option to import/export.  Select the location of the CSV file you saved on your PC and transfer it on Yahoo.

    You can now go through the DM Assistant and select sync with Yahoo.  It is ideal to add contacts to the phone for the first time.  Don't forget to make sure that everything is up-to-date and complete in Outlook Contacts before export to the CSV file.

    If you want to add contacts to the future, the best way is to add to Outlook first and then go through the process of exporting the CSV file again - this will ensure that all records are the same.  Although if you wanted too, you can also export from BB in Yahoo, then in Outlook as Yahoo also exported contacts to a CSV file.

    Hope that helps someone...

    Al.
