• 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.

• Connection to a wireless - printing Via Ethernet network?

  Hi, I had a search here but you can't find what I'm looking for, sorry if it was taken!

  I just bought a HP C310a wireless all in one, very happy so far.

  I connected my Netgear DGN2200 wireless, job done. I printed the test page and all is well.

  I'm now trying to set up my PC to print through my router via an Ethernet connection, but I've hit a brick wall!

  I tried to connect via usb and then try to go wireless, but it will not find the printer. I have also run the program quotes but it does not find the printer?

  Any ideas please?

  Thank you.

  OK, another problem as well!

  I just tried to connect with my wireless laptop and it failed. Looks like maybe that's a problem with my Netgear router?

  Hi Tinkerbellfancolorado,

  1. When is this last work fine?
  2. Do you receive an error message or error codes?

  3. Reset your modem and router. Remove the power cord from the modem or router, wait at least 10 seconds, then plug in the modem and/or router back.

  Step 2

• Cannot connect Stor.E Wireless Adapter + 1 TB HDD in my laptop

  I recently bought a Stor.e wireless adapter for use with my partner Stor.e 1 TB HDD laptop but I can't seem to connect to my laptop.

USB = blue.

  The disc shows hard on my Android phone and the android Tablet but won't connect, when you perform a scan for wireless on my laptop devices, the adapter cannot be found.

  I sent twice, the support from Toshiba on July 5 and July 10, but have not received the courtesy of a response although confirmation of receipt of my e-mail, so for them we will get back to you in the DAY a statement.

  Hello

  Maybe this can help.

  Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

  Homegroup = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

  Network of home or work = fundamentally similar (and better) to the previous Working Group sharing methods which allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.
  
  Public share = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

  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 own unique name.

  http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_name.jpg

  Make sure that the software firewall, AV, or other security components allow free local traffic on all network computers. If you use the 3rd group of security, firewall native Vista/XP must 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/AV/security costumes continue to block aspects of the Local traffic even it they are off (off). 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 .

  Hello @fairgame,

  Thank you for visiting the Forums from the HP Support! The forums are a great place where you can find solutions for your problems, with the help of the community!

  I understand that you have a problem with the WiFi and wanted to help you!

  First of all, try to review the next steps, offered by community member @Great-Christine-Tree:

  First of all, we have a step by step guide to guide you through the process of diagnosis here:

  HP PC - troubleshooting Internet and wireless network

  A second option is to try the following steps:
  Powercycle the network:
  1. turn off your laptop.
  2. unplug the power to your router.
  3. disconnect the power to your modem.
  4. wait at least 45 seconds.
  5 reconnect the modem and wait for it to come back online.
  6 plug in the router and wait for it to come back online.
  7. turn on your laptop and test your connection.

  Turn off the power to the adapter:
  1. open Device Manager. (Win Key + R > type devmgmt.msc > OK)
  2. expand the network adapters.
  3. right click on the Ethernet adapter / wireless, and then click Properties.
  4. click on the power management tab.
  5 remove the check mark next to allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
  6. click on OK.
  7 test cycle.

  Reset the TCP/IP settings on your PC:
  1. go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
  2. right-click on the command prompt icon and select run as administrator.
  3. in the window that opens type "netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt" without the quotes and press ENTER.
  4 restart your PC and test.

  It can also help to reset the winsock catalog:
  1. go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
  2. right-click on the command prompt icon and select run as administrator.
  3. in the window that opens type "netsh winsock reset" without the quotes, and then press ENTER.
  4 restart your PC and test.

  Reinstall the NIC drivers:
  1. download the drivers from here , but do not run them again.
  2. go to your Start menu/screen and type Device Manager.
  3. expand network adapters.
  4. right click on the wireless adapter and choose uninstall.
  5 install the drivers downloaded in step 1.
  6. restart your PC and test.

  Test an ethernet connection:
  Explicit. Test if the problem persists on a wired connection to the adapter hardware troubleshooting wireless can be directed to the appropriate areas.

  Test another connection:
  Many people excluded their home network as a problem if another device working on the same network. Networking is not as simple as that. Each device interacts differently with your router or modem and it is impossible to exclude the settings for this device until the laptop has been tested on another network.

  If these steps do not resolve the problem, try this document published by Microsoft for network management issues: wired and wireless network problems. You can change the operating system with the drop-down list in the upper right of the document.

• Aspire laptop connects to a wireless network, but not another

  First of all, I need to let you know that my home network consists of a Motorola router/modem from my ISP. I have the wireless off, then I use a cat5 ethernet cable to connect a Belkin wireless router, so that I can use the two USB ports on the back for a network storage device to make regular backups on all the pc in the House, and my printer not wireless, so we can print of anyroom home instead of taking the computer back to where the printer is. So about three days ago, I got my Aspire 5734Z-4386 laptop, and I don't have a wireless connection. So I checked my phone, and he always had a relationship with the Belkin. I took ten minutes to troubleshoot the Atheros AR5B93 wireless card. Could not understand why I didn't have a connection, it was great to work for about 12 hours before.

  If for some reason, I used another pc and connected on the Motorola and wireless turned on and immediately the Aspire showed a connection available, I clicked it and it says "connecting" for a few seconds and showed 'internet connection '. I spent about 5 minutes to surf the internet and then disconnected from the Motorola and reconnected to the Belkin, it says "connecting" for about a minute, then came to the yellow triangle, no internet. Back and clikced Motorola, once again the internet connection, but not on the Belkin. So I'm the other pc and checked the Web for the Belkin page to ensure that the Aspire had not been blacklisted in some way, there is nothing here to explain why I can't connect. So I spent three days, the adapter of the uninstall and re - install, I used the Motorola to download the latest driver for the adapter.

  When the Aspire is the Belkin network with the rest of the other pc, I have no problem, move files from and to the Aspire. I can use the Aspire to connect to one of the other pc and right click on a file and copy them to the Aspire and watch the file appear on the Aspire, take the Aspire and copy a file to another pc or use another pc to access the Aspire. But I can't get internet connection, unless I'm on the network from Motorola. Now, I had the wireless on the Motorola off so all attached devices would be on the same network, then we can share files, and other connected activities.

  I will admit that I am totally confused, it's not logical at all. I mean if someone else told me that their computer did this, I would have told them "it's impossible". Engineering wise, wise technology it not is not possible for an adapter do what made mine. But he does. Can someone please help me understand what is happening and how to fix it? I don't often admit defeat, but this time I've been beaten almost to death.

  Have you tried to reboot the router?

• How do I fix my laptop to connect to my wireless router?

  How do I fix my laptop to connect to my router wirelrss?

  Hello

  Check with the router manufacturer, their online documentation and forums support (if any). Most have
  excellent tutorials online. The router must be configured before connecting to it.

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  More troubleshooting:

  Your router could be suspicious here, you have successfully updated its firmware as a possible solution? And I would like to
  Update your WiFi drivers on computers. How you are positioned in the router? Are there
  obstacles in the path?

  Actually try updating your driver and disabling the network logon.

  Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write
  version - click the driver update (cannot do something that MS is far behind the pilots of certification). Then
  Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  You can download several at once however restart after the installation of each of them.

  After watching the system manufacturer, you can check the manufacturer of the device an even newer version. (The
  manufacturer of system become your backup policies).

  Repeat for network (NIC) card and is a good time to get the other updated drivers as Vista like
  updated drivers.

  I would also turn off auto update for the drivers. If the updates Windows suggests a just HIDE as they
  are almost always old, and you can search drivers manually as needed.
