Wireless connections do not appear in the network connections

Running XP Home Edition with Service Pack 3.  Setup new rounter wireless.  Went to the Panel of control/NetworkConnections.  The LAN network icon is there, but no icon of wireless networks.  Is on a MacBook Pro running XP in Parallels and there is no problem on Mac OS wireless connectivity, then of course, the material is very well and comes with XP.  I ran all the shooters of boredom and configuration wizards, still called dLink support (router manufacturer), and the technology had no idea what to do when the wireless icon is simply not in network connections.  Any help would be much appreciated.

  • HP Officejet 4500 wireless printer does not appear on the control panel

    My HP Officejet 4500 wireless printer does not appear on the control panel.  How to fix it.  I have a laptop Toshiba and Windows 7 Home Premium OS.  Help, please.    rwillm

    Hey,.

    Thanks for the update, rwillm.  It seems that the installation of the printer can be a little messed up.  If the printer software is always installed, but simply lacks the printer, then I would advise to do a little cleaning before choosing to add the printer back.

    • Make sure that the printer is deleted from the file devices and printers
    • Click on one of the remaining printers folder
    • Select the properties of the print server at the top of the window
    • Click the tab drivers
    • Remove all drivers in this window for the Officejet 4500

    Also check in the Device Manager to verify that there is no mention of remaining of the 4500.

    • Click on the start menu
    • Right click on computer
    • Select manage in the list
    • Click Device Manager in the list of questions on the left side of the window that opens
    • Click the view at the top of the menu, and then select Show hidden devices
    • Remove all references to the 4500 in the list of devices

    After making sure of the device is gone, I recommend bike devices in the power circuit: router, computer and printer.

    * Make sure the printer has a valid IP address after switching back on and is connected to the same network as your PC before adding the printer.

    If the IP address and SSID are good for the printer, then try to add the printer with the printer software, you have installed.

    • Click on the Start Menu
    • Click on all programs
    • Open the HP folder
    • Open the folder for the series of the Officejet 4500 G510
    • Select Add a device option

    Let me know how it goes,

    I have a network of offices with windows 7 and XP PC 6 PC 7. Each day network neighborhood loses the xp computers. I can always ping them but they do not appear on the network. The PC xp always had access to the internet and can still ping windows 7 PC normally, but I can't connect to the shares or see them in the network neighborhood. The question seems to come and go during the day and can be due to the network traffic? I am lost at this point. A reboot of the xp PC is not resolved, but a restart of the server main window file 7 pc solves it for a while. Help!

  • Computer laptop XP does not appear in the network of Vista laptop

    My cell phone based on Windows-XP does not appear in my laptop Windows Vista-base and is not accessible from this Vista computer, but it appears in the network adapter connected to the network wireless by a double dashed line. At the same time, the laptop Vista appears in computers on the XP network and is accessible from there. I have already applied Windows XP - SP3 hotfix KB 922120 to XP laptop and checked the firewall on both machines (Exceptions) settings, and they seemed OK. Also, I checked the HKML restrictanonymous DWORD value data value data (0) of the XP machine.

    Can someone help me with this? Thank you so much in advance.

    To get best results connect to each computer system screen and set all the computers to be on a bearing the same name of Working Group , while each computer has its ownunique name.

    Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

    General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq.html#trusted
    Please Note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled).
    If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic.

    If you end up with the 3rd party software uninstalled or disabled, make sure that Windows native firewall is active .

    When you have finished the configuration of the system, it is recommended to restart everything the router and all computers involved.

    If you have permission and security issues with Vista/Win7, check the following settings.

    Point to a folder that wants to share do right click and choose Properties.

    In the properties

    Click on the Security tab shown in the bellows of the photo on the right) and verify that users and their permissions (see photo below Centre and left) are configured correctly. Then do the same for the authorization tab.

    This screen shot is to Win 7, Vista menus are similar.

    The Security Panel and the authorization Panel, you need to highlight each user/group and consider that the authorization controls are verified correctly.

    When everything is OK, restart the network (router and computer).

    * Note . The groups and users listed in the screen-shoot are just an example. Your list will focus on how your system is configured.

    * Note . All the users who are allowed to share need to have an account onall computers that they are allowed to connect to.

    Everyone is an account, that means a group of all users who already have an account now as users. It is available to avoid the need to configure permission for each on its own, it does not mean all those who feel that they would like to connect.

  • Workgroup computers connected but does not appear in the network folder

    I got number of connected computers on my working group, but for the moment, only 3 of 8 computers appear in my record of working group in my network.

    When I search the names of each computer on the 'Search' from the menu 'Start', they appear and seem to be connected as I am able to access the shared folders.

    The name of the computer, I searched (let's call it 'Computer 1') appears on the left menu under 'Network' with 3 computers that are obviously connected but when I click on network and go into the network, computer folder 1 is still not visible and only 3 computers are indicated.

  • Ubuntu PC not visible on the network

    I have a pc Ubuntu (10.10) in the same workgroup as a pc Vista (Home Premium). The Ubuntu machine can 'see' the Working Group and the machine Vista and actions. The Vista machine cannot see the Ubuntu machine (it does not appear on the network), although it may be possible.

    Network discovery and sharing are enabled on the Vista machine and have shared folders. Samba is installed and working OK on the Ubuntu machine.

    What should I do to allow the machine Vista access folders on the Ubuntu pc?

    This seems to be true for Windows 7 so it probably works for Vista as well.

    Machines of Ubuntu do not seem to be visible on the nerwork unless you have really shared a folder on them...

  • Unable to connect to the network and wireless interface does not appear in ipconfig/all on Vista32

    My niece has a laptop of HP under vista32 who cannot access the network wirelessly or wired.  She is in College and needs the laptop on the network as soon as possible for his class work.  I tried to reload the driver wireless driver (Atheros AR5007 b/g) and reset the tcp/ip stack using the command netsh addressed in the microsoft article, but nothing works.

    I brought the laptop to work where we have an unsecured wireless lan (called comments) for visitors and the laptop can go out and find all points of access wireless including comments.  When I select the comments and try to connect it times out and tells me to watch driver and tcp/ip connections.

    Another clue may be that the wireless card does not appear when I type ' ipconfig/all', or the adapter wireless and wired adapters are not displayed:

    C:\Users\Admin>ipconfig/all

    Windows IP configuration

    Name of the host...: Hannah-PC
    Primary Dns suffix...:
    Node... type: hybrid
    Active... IP routing: No.
    Active... proxy WINS: No.

    Bluetooth network connection Ethernet card:

    I'd appreciate any help I can get.

    Thank you!

    In the case where somone has this same question, I wanted to post my final resolution of the problem. I backed up its data and restored the laptop to factory default using HP restore and now everything works fine.  Better I would say loading Zone Alarm on Vista was a bad thing for my niece to do.  Would have been nice to find a magical solution to avoid restoring but never found one.  Even after the alarm zone using their instructions by removing completely, there was apparently a problem with the registry who wouldn't let networks are working properly.  One thing I noticed after that the restoration was the HP Wireless Assistant poped up and told me about available networks, etc.  Assistant wireless didn't pop-up at all whne the cell was dismantled so maybe assistant was broken?  Well, I'm out...

  • My wireless home does not appear on as a network available on my work laptop and always did before.

    My wireless home does not appear on as a network available on my work laptop and always did before.  He brings up and connect on my laptop. I have a Linksys broadband router - summer use it for at least two years with no problems until this.  I know that my wireless works on my laptop because there is an unsecured network listed in the available window.

    A really strange thing that happened two weeks ago (and I don't know if it's related) was my personal laptop was fine during several hours - then he kept abandonment of the internet connection.  I couldn't keep him connected - reboot etc didn't work.  I've not logged again until today - and that's what I use now.  He connected very well today.

    My work laptop had been connected to my wireless ealier in the week, but when I tried to connect as usual Thursday night he has not logged automatically as it has always done in the past.  Nothing has changed.  Security patches that my company had sent through this week have not downloaded until after that I tried to connect and couldn't.  There is nothing new - he had no reason to think I should not have automatically connected as I have in the past.
