    I saw the same problem with a different providers wireless solution. When I've sniffed the air with OmniPeek and the network that the ap was conducting with WireShark, I see the arp for the gateway request going to the router, the router gateway response is sent to the suspect machine in the air, the acknowledgement of PC than the package but never fills the arp cache. I watched two arp responses in a vs work for lack of scenario, the two packages are the same.

    The only way I could solve it was to disable IP Helper (not start too) services, reboot the machine. I see 3 to 4 drops per day, but since the deactivation of this Service the machines with that I tested have not seen the question once again.

    IP Helper:
    Provides tunnel connectivity using technologies of transition IPv6 (6to4, ISATAP, Teredo, and Port Proxy) and IP-HTTPS. If this service is stopped, the computer will not have the benefits of improved connectivity offered by these technologies.

    Acer Aspire One
    Dell Latitude E6420

    Ip assistance service has been changed about 40 laptops, a dozen of which would fail in about an hour. So far, 0 out of the 40 saw the question since this change and reboot (reset is the key after disable it) laptops. It's been about 5 days.

    Any reason why disable this Service solves the problem? With it I can replicate the problem pretty quickly on a few different types of machines so it seems not to be driver or provider specific wireless network card. I checked through the Event Viewer logs, but nothing seems to be triggered during the show. Using the Troubleshooter or disconnect the wireless service will fix the problem for a short period only.

    We have two laptops, one with Windows 8.1, the other Windows 7. When I installed the driver of a HP6700 on the 8.1 it was successful and the wireless icon has been lit.

    Hi PapaDT ,

    I must have misunderstood your first post.

    Please let me know if you can now print from your Windows 8.1 wireless. Please leave the printer and unplug the power cable, after a minute, you can maybe plug the wireless light and back will be back. Maybe it's just a little hiccup.

    Yes the printer work with Windows 7 even if the software is not installed. You must use the-OS driver. However, have the software installed, it is not what is causing the problem.

    I would like to help and will be happy for once I understand very well. Thank you for your patience. I am firmly convinced of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." Forgive my application, but given that you can print on both computers, why not leave it as it is?

  • My office wireless icon is x'd - cannot detect wireless networks.

    My computer screen suddenly went black this evening - the monitor was still, the fans were still humming, but it was totally insensitive.

    I forced a stop, and when I rebooted the computer, my wireless icon has been x'd out. My computer cannot detect wireless networks (there are a half-dozen or more in my building). I tried a good stop and restart, but the problem was still there.

    The Network Diagnostics tool told me to check the router, so I did--but all other devices in the House are connected very well. I thought it would be a malware, so I ran a MalwareBytes scan, which turned up nothing. Then I reinstalled the drivers from the card WLAN - no luck there.

    System Restore has not solved the problem. ipconfig says "media state: disconnected ' for my WIFI adapter, but I don't know how to fix this. In the devices, the Broadcom WLAN card Manager, he says "this device is functioning correctly.

    I work from home, so it is important that I can access my wireless. Help, please!

    The switch is on and without thread is working but I don't know until I try to connect a place - and wants to get rid of the ed - X on the icon.  But oddly - the wireless icon won't appear again.   So I worry about this unless it disappears again.

  • Why does my SkyDrive icon display not in my favorites from Windows Explorer?

    Why does my SkyDrive icon display not in my favorites from Windows Explorer? I installed on my PC under Windows SkyDrive 8, but Skydrive icon does not appear in the Windows Explorer Favorites? How can I fix it?

    Thanks for your response - I did this and the last step of drag or copy in the Favorites list failed. He said "can't put in Favorites? This is the real icon for SkyDrive placed on desktop as a shortcut. Any thoughts?

    Right click the Skydrive shortcut that you created, and select copy.

    Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the C:\Users\your name\Links folder.
    (Where 'your name' is the name of your user account)

    Right click on the links folder and select Paste.

    This will place the Skydrive folder in the Favorites list in the file Explorer.

  • user name displays wrong in capital letters at the top of the support page. I see it correct in post however; Passwords not displayed in the Security page?

    There is a similar issue where a user asks why his user name is indicated in all cases of small. My problem is the reverse of this and have a problem me of security in the way that it appears. Do you understand what I'm saying / implying? Second half of my question must be indicated separately... but I can't show screen captures and copy / paste it to display all my concerns separately. It took me two weeks just to get the support of Mozilla to take one of my questions, which includes a separate question on the connection to this page (to check under my username). I'm that raise because I can't it spend many hours just trying to get answers to things that should never occur on Firefox. It's as if it's the same amount of security issues, such as Internet Explorer a. cannot find a field course. Your app problems works, I see well at first glance. But good blood, so many hours spent on brand laptop nine just to any browser without these security vulnerabilities expose me as I am naked; just try out these issues for you. I'm sorry to ramble on time, but it seems so wrong to have so many problems on a PC new, new version of FF 41! There are issues with copy / paste, to better explain the problems of screen capture. I need to be connected to a remote control utility PC just to show all questions. Is this possible with your troubleshooting app? Please don't leave me because I'm sniveling. I must really be reassured that it will happen as I am exposed just by sending this. Can you feel me? I need to view the issue with error message of synchronization. Is it possible to address all the issues at once with your troubleshooting app? What I really need to open each issue separately because they are many. Sorry, but I can't reinstall FF 41 is no cure for these issues. Is no answer. Thanks in advance for listening. I believe in FF/Mozilla concepts.

    I use a rule in userContent.css to change this in small capitals.
    Which looks almost the same and allows to preserve the species, that is to ask a question shows with a capital 'A' instead of as 'ASK A QUESTION '.

    You can use the Inspector to find the switch to other containers where you want to change the appearance.

    @-moz-document domain(support.mozilla.org) {
     #aux-nav,.question-meta {font-variant:small-caps}
    }

    Add the code to the userContent.css file.

    The file userChrome.css (UI) customization and userContent.css (Web sites) are located in the folder of chrome in the Firefox profile folder.

    You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:

    • Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file (Linux: open the directory;) Mac: View in the Finder)
  • icons displayed in the web pages

    navigation icons are displayed under vacuum with a 4-bit code. I have a screen Save example.

    What is a narrow box with two rows of two characters? Firefox displays this code when it cannot find the character in any available font. The most common reason to see it is that some sites are now replaces the image icons with characters that Firefox has to download. If you have set Firefox on:

    • use only the fonts your favorites instead of the page fonts
    • not to download fonts (or in total: config or by using the NoScript extension)

    Then, you need to change it in order to see the icons.

    First, check your settings here:

    "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > content

    Click the Advanced button and make sure there are check box 'allow pages to choose their own fonts.

    If you change this, try to reload the page. Firefox support missing icons?

    If this isn't the issue, please come back and move us to the next things.
