Wireless connection problem - "could not contact the primary DNS server.

Hello. As of today, I had an interesting problem with my connection wireless home.

I have DSL, and my router (an Actiontec GT704-WG, for reference), periodically decides to abandon the internet connection throughout the entire family. This includes our parent unit, as well as my lap top which relies on a wireless connection.

Today, I noticed that my laptop was switched to 'Access Local.' only I went to check my modem, only to find all the lights on the side were, and the computer was working fine. I tried to reset the wireless connection, activating / disabling the wireless and switch off, Plug and reconnect to the network without wire, as well as re-booting my computer. None of these things worked.

I also received and error message that tells me it: "could not contact the primary DNS (fe80::341b:6831:1247:6707 11%).

I don't know what this means, although I checked to make sure that my ISP address connects well, and as far as I can tell it is. I also checked everything that Microsoft suggested troubleshooting guides, nothing helps.

I don't know if that makes a difference, but I noticed to my lap top more close to the router, the connection would come periodically power on and off. Also, these problems started occurring after that I installed and then uninstalled Firefox. I use Internet Explorer, but I wanted to try Firefox.

Also, my computer is an application of Toshiba Satellite L305-S5944, running Vista Home Basic, I believe.

I hope I've provided enough information.

Go to the website of the manufacturer of your router > make sure you have the latest Firmware in Vista for it.

Go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/notebook > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for it last network adapters Vista drivers > download/install the.

Try without commitment TCP/IPv6:

If you still have internet connection probs, one thing to try is the separation of the TCP/IPv6 (which is done by going to network connection > right click > properties > it uncheck > OK.)

    Any advice? I'm happy test the beta fix only if available.


    I used to use the plugin to Jeffrey, and it's (I think still is) a fantastic product. Again, having a built-in feature delivered with LR has won my heart.

    BTW: it seems that the issue is on the side of Flickr and relates to their limitation (IP based) network. I don't understand why they do it and why too drastic. Try again potentially additional native plugin LR Flickr could help.

  • Windows Experience Index problem: could not measure the performance of video playback

    My pc is not yet rated. When I click on rate appears on this computer, a msg error saying that Windows Experience Index for your system could not be calculated, could not measure the PERFORMANCE of VIDEO PLAYBACK. What should I do. Help, please

    Hello

    Here are a few things to check before launching performance index Windows (WEI).

    • Quit all running programs, and restart the computer before running the assessment (WEI).
    • Check with the manufacturer of the computer or the motherboard manufacturer for BIOS updates.
    • Make sure you have the latest Windows 7 compatible drivers for the graphics device installed (video card).
    • If you have any third-party media players installed, uninstall them until the end of the evaluation of the WEI.
    • If you have installed any third-party Media Codecs, try to uninstall them until the end of the evaluation of the WEI.

    Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the folder C:\WINDOWS\Performance\WinSAT .

    You should see the following 8 videos.

    2 files with .mp4 extension.

    3 files with the .mpg file extension.

    3 files with .wmv file extension.

    Double-click each of these files. They should open and play in Windows Media Player. These are the files that WEI runs video performance.

    One thing to remember is that the WEI score is only an indicator of the ability of the main components of hardware on the computer. It has no effect on the performance of the system.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus: loss of wireless connection, printer does not accept the password wireless

    My printer has suddenly lost its wifi connection. It's the only phone connected to my network to do so.

    Through the Wireless Setup Wizard to restore the connection. Assistant tells me that I entered an invalid password wireless, that is not true. (I confirmed that all devices connected to the network using the same password).

    Reset the router (Technicolor of Time Warner). Reset the printer. The 'Restore default network' done. No luck.

    Zero has changed since yesterday, when my printer was working fine. I used the same router for months, do not change any settings. Any thoughts on what may be the issue? A bad update happen?

    Thanks in advance.

    My apologies for the late reply. I managed to get this problem resolved by phone to customer service.

    The security mode of the router had to be changed to 64 WEP for wireless connection to be restored. According to Support HP, it's a common problem with the routers in Technicolor. There was no explanation as to why the printer has suddenly lost the ability to connect wirelessly when safety was created to WPA2-PSK. The network has been configured this way for more than a year.

    I have almost solved this problem on mine (I had read about changing of security in a different post), but ran into a hiccup because of Safari. For some reason, Safari prohibited access to a menu page for my router security settings. You can imagine how boring it is to look at the HP Support use Firefox to access the router and do what a mouse click more, and then I had to make the change. So, if you make this change, be sure not to use Safari to access the gateway of the router Technicolor. Use Chrome or Firefox.

    Hi Todd,

    Your question relates to Foglight NMS, so your best option is to post in the Discussion NMS Foglight group.

    A search on the forum of NMS Foglight reveals a few posts with similar symptoms:

    Free Quest network tools will not activate

    Can not activate Quest free network tools

    It seems that the problem will be resolved by upgrading to the latest version (6,7).

    The SMN experts who monitor the Foglight NMS community should be able to clarify your question about the free version.
