• my laptop has completed the automatic update of vista and after that I can't access wireless router with an ethernet cable only

  My sony vaio laptop running windows vista has completed an automatic update and after that, I can't connect to my wireless network, I can access the internet with an ethernet cable.

  It worked perfectly fine before the update, I know that there is a problem with what I had the same problem in the past. The way it's been solved previously was to restore the laptop to an earlier point before the end of the update. Unfortunately I can't do that and the laptop has been completed, wiped and there is no backup where I can go to restore.

  I know I can remove some updates but don't know what 1, me it is another way to solve the problem.

  Your help would be much appreciated.

  Thank you

• How to enter a wireless signal and convert Ethernet cable?

  I'm totally bafled by the nomenclature of wireless gadgets and would appreciate help. I already have a wireless router that allows my laptop work anywhere in my house. My need is to recover the wireless signal and somehow get this signal into an Ethernet cable.

  The reason is that my DVR (Replay TV) connects to Internet via Ethernet (not USB) cable and I want to move to a place where it would be impractical to try the new wiring through the walls.

  Thank you!

  You need a "wireless ethernet bridge", like the WET54G, WET200 or WET610N.  Once you set up the device, just wire your DVR to it.

• Lose the wireless connection when the modem connects to the internet.

  Hello

  I've updated my laptop to windows 7 (new installation).  I have a cable modem which is connected by ethernet to a wireless modem/router which I have configured to be a wireless access point (dhcp is the cable modem).  The laptop can connect wireless access point when the cable modem is not connected to the internet (so the ip address of the access point is 192.168.100.50 & the laptop takes an automatic ip address within the range). The problem is when I connect the modem cable to the internet, & so the ip address of the access point is derived the cable modem, the laptop can't connect to the access point. When I renew the ip address of the wireless card, it says it is connected to the selected network but the ip address is not correct, nor do I have access to the internet.

  The laptop connects fine to pick up the new ip address when it is ethernet connected the access point when the cable modem is both on or off, so I can access the local access point configuration when the modem cable is off, & can access the internet when the cable modem is enabled. When it is connected with the cable modem access point wireless at sea, both my wireless & ethernet connection say that they are connected to the selected network, but as soon as I turn on the cable modem, wireless connection says it is connected to an unidentified network, but my ethernet connection is connected to the selected network.

  I tried the broadcasting/no broadcast of the SSID, different levels of security, modification of the power saving options on the card wireless without success. I don't think it's a problem with the real network that the wireless card can capture the network & settings when the cable modem is disabled.

  This Setup has worked well when I had win xp.  My mobile phone can capture the network without wire end also & is able to access the internet.  The driver for the wireless card is current as well as the firmware on the access point.

  Can you please help? Thank you very much

  Hi Jack

  You led me in the right direction with the MAC addresses on the cable modem.  It's a simple solution... turn off the cable modem so it would refresh the MAC addresses of connecting devices, & hey presto, I wireless & ethernet access internet on my laptop with wireless internet on my laptop.

  Thank you for your perseverance.

  See you soon

• Compaq 6910p - wireless adapter turns off when the ethernet cable is connected

  Hi all

  Then, when I plug in an ethernet cable (connected to a router), my wireless adapter turns off.

  He immediately turns on when I unplug the ethernet cable.

  It isn't really a problem, either connection will provide my needs of networking, but it's just weird and I don't like it.

  Using Win7 Ultimate 64 bit.

  advice would be appreciated.

  Hello:

  This is the default setting to save the battery.

  If you always want the wireless on, go into BIOS > Menu of device Configuration and activation to deactivate WLAN-LAN.

• When I try to connect with my wireless laptop will connect only to Local access. If I connect the laptop to the router with the ethernet cable, it works very well.

  VIsta - Local access only

  HI -.
  I recently moved.   I use the same router from my old apartment and I had no problem connection in the past.   Since I moved I have a new Time Warner modem (Cisco) and the modem works fine.

  The router also works very well I'm able to connect with my iPhone and IPad without any problem.

  But when I try to connect with my wireless laptop, it will only connect to Local access.    If I connect the laptop to the router with the ethernet cable, it works very well.

  It's a Dell Studio 15 with Vista.

  The computer is able to connect to wifi to other places without any problem, but for some reason that I can't connect home.   I tried to reset the modem and the router several times, but that did not help.   I tried the option repair & diagnose several times but it doesn't work.

  I tried to look for other solutions online and tried to disable IPv6, and while it helped some and I was able to connect wireless, the computer ran so slowly that it didn't seem like a good solution.

  This has been very frustrating.   Thanks in advance for any help or suggestion.

• can only connect to internet access using wireless or ethernet cable

  I use a computer Windows Vista with Internet Explorer 8.

  When I try to connect to the internet from my laptop on a Netgear router I can connect only with limited access via an ethernet cable or wireless. My computer detects and attempts to connect (with complete connection) to the netgear router, but then the prompt appears on the screen, "connection takes longer than usual." Then, it displays "connection failure.

  I tried to use all the recommended solutions such as move the computer to a different location, automatically get new ip settings, etc... without success.

  In the past, I could access the internet without problems and the full connection and wonder if my college internet connection may have screwed up the settings.

  Thank you

• Canning Internet connection drops when the computer is connected to the PS3 via an Ethernet cable.

  Original title: Shared network problem

  I am trying to use a shared network, configure as follows. My computer connect wireless to my router. My PS3, however, seems to be really slow when connecting wireless to the router and is at a proper speed when connected via ethernet. So, I have my PS3 connected to my computer with an ethernet cable. I put the wifi connection to be shared. Next, I set up my PS3 to connect to cable internet. Has gone through the steps and connected properly and at full speed too. However, there is a problem. My PC guard 'give up' connection to my router, while remaining connected to the PS3. I have to manually connect to my router again, regardless of the connection automatically option. Almost as if my PC is to use ethernet for internet access, (which he won't get that which is connected to the PS3) and so it loses the wifi connection. This abandonment happens around every 5 minutes or more.

  Is it possible to keep my PC connected to my wireless router and still be connected to my PS3 through ethernet to connect my PS3 using my PC?

  The problem seems to have 'fixed itself. I tried messing around with the connections that would not work even the bridge. Then I've switched back to ICS and did not have a disconnect since then.

  So the problem is now resolved, but don't know how?
  Whatever it is, I am very grateful for your help Manasa, it is well appreciated!

• Problems connecting an Officejet 7310, wireless and ethernet cable

  My printer (Officejet 7310) is connected to two PCs with an ethernet cable and the router. Now I want to install a laptop as well.

  I know that the lap top is communicating with the wireless router, but I can't get the laptop to recognize that there is a printer is installed.

  I tried to connect the printer directly (via Ethernet cable) to the laptop and it works fine. I downloaded the latest version of the software for the 7310 and used two options (without wire and cable).

  Any help would be most appreciated.

• Pavilion dv7 Notebook - how will I know if I'm connected with the Ethernet cable or wireless?

  The notification area icon displays only a wireless connection, although the ethernet cable is connected to the laptop.  HP Connection Manager shows that both wired and wireless connections are active.  All of my previous laptop (not HP) had different icons for wireless to a wired connection in the notification area.  HP has a different icon for a wired connection?  If so, why it doesn't show in the notification area?

  Enrico, thank you.  I have installed Win7 Pro.

  The Network and Sharing Center says I'm connected wireless.

  Program of HP's "Connection Manager" shows that both the wired (ethernet) and wireless networks are connected.

  If I am always connected wirelessly with the ethernet cable plugged into my machine, how to move from the wired connection?

  Open the network and sharing Center. Look at the picture of what I have posted. Do you see where it says log in or out? Select it, and then disconnect from the wireless network. If you are also connected to the wired connecttion, then the connection should be almost transparent.
