XP SP3 cannot connect to WPA2 wireless network, but can Debian on the same PC.

I have a Toshiba Portege M200 dual-boot Windows XP Tablet PC Edition with Service Pack 3 installed and Debian GNU/Linux codename Wheezy with Debian non-free package firmware-ipw2x00 allowing my wireless adapter to use and wicd package to manage wireless connections.

Two operating systems are able to connect to a WPA - PSK network automatically without any problem whatsoever.

Debian is able to automatically connect to a WPA2-PSK network without any problem, but simply Windows doesn't connect at all.

Windows shows the WPA2 network in the list of available networks and correctly recognizes as having the WPA2 security.  However, when trying to manually connect, Windows ask me the network key (I have enter), then spend about two minutes «Waiting for network...» "with the usual animation and indefinite progress bar.  Windows back me to the list of available networks window, then shows me not connected to everything as if I didn't choose any.  When waiting for Windows to connect automatically, Windows will sometimes appear a bubble icon connection wireless network saying that it could not connect to one of my favorite networks but that he will continue to try.

I get no error message or any other message of any kind.  Windows just trying with fanfare and fails silently.

The two operating systems have updates of installed operating system vendor.

Someone at - it ideas?

To give a vision a little to the solution "install a new driver" discussed in the Technet forum thread, it seems that the problem here is the same as that commonly encountered when trying to update printer drivers: a user downloads the new driver and installs it but the problem remains.

What happens is that if the older driver is not removed all first, it is not replaced by the new driver.

Windows installs hardware devices using INFs.  They are located in % windir%\inf.  Actually, the previous statement is incomplete.  The first time that a device is installed, Windows uses the INF file to create a corresponding PNF file located in the same directory.  The PNF file is a "precompiled" version of the INF file and Windows Setup actually uses the PNF file because it is "more effective" to do.

If you download a new driver and replace only the INF file and do not delete the old driver files, when you 'day' the driver, Windows Setup examines the old file PNF which points to the old files and uses.

Then... either completely uninstall the device or at least delete the PNF file appropriate before attempting to install an updated driver.

And download the new driver from Toshiba or the manufacturer of the adapter wireless in the computer.  Don't understand from Windows Update.

  • Cannot connect ot my wireless network after you run Setup WRE54G

    I bought a camera (ver. 3 - en) WRE54G refurbished. Just before the installation, I was able to connect to my wireless network, internet access, etc.

    So I ran the installer for the WRE54G to my laptop, which failed because the installation program could not connect to the diving (device was plugged).

    After this attempt, I am still able to connect to my wireless network at home with my laptop, however, I cannot access the internet.

    Other computers (macBook, my Galaxy Tablet) have no problem with the wireless network, only the laptop that ran the Setup program.

    I restarted the wireless router and my laptop several times. I then unplugged the WRE54G - no difference, Iam not able to access the internet.

    Can you please help?

    Never mind. For some reason any annihilated configuring the default gateway setting - so no DHCP, DNS server.

  • Cannot connect D110 for wireless network

    Hello

    I just bought the D110 all in one, but am having trouble connecting to my wireless network.

    Here is my network information:

    DSL with Verizon

    My router is a netgear rangemax wnr3500

    I use for my WPA - PSK [TKIP] safety + WPA2-PSK [AES].

    He can see my wireless network, but after that I put in the access code, it does not connect.  I also tried using the WPS method with no luck.  Help!

    I feel so stupid for this but I've checked the settings on my router again last night and the MAC address filtering enabled.  I must have forgotten that I turned it back at some point.  My fault.  Thanks for responding in any case.

  • Palm TX cannot connect to WLC4404 wireless network

    I work for a small junior College and I'm having a bit of trouble getting a Palm TX handheld unit to connect to our wireless network. I hope someone can help me solve this problem.

    Six months ago, I created a WLAN (other than broadcasting, WPA / PSK and TKIP) for three digital assistants; everything worked very well. Two weeks ago, I upgraded the software on our controller wireless unable to connect 4.2.112 to the 5.2.193.0 version and now the PDA version. Maybe it's a coincidence... I know not dion. Someone suggested the possibility, and it seems appropriate.

    Documentation for handheld computers say they can use WEP or WPA / PSK.

    I tried to connect the PDA with 1) no security/authentication at all, 2) WEP and 3) WPA Personal. The unit I tested will connect to an airport of Apple and an ad hoc network on my laptop. I'm going home tonight and test it with my wireless Netgear N series router.

    I read a little on a Palm TX Enterprise Security Update. The Palm device does not belong to the school that I work so I can't launch the update to this topic

    This appears in the log after I try to connect:

    To debug a client. CLI in the WLC who has the AP to which your wireless client is attached. The debugging of type customer. Then turn on your wireless client and enter what he brings in the WLC.

    I don't think it's malicious software or viruses that do, although I may be wrong. I have as well as perhaps he might have gotten damaged during the trip. I'll probably call someone for help tomorrow when I'm less tired. I also tried fn + f3 and has nothing because of my following problem.

    Problem 2: Fn key works oddly or not at all. A few weeks ago, when I was a lot of games on my computer. I used the FN up and down to change my fast volume. I used to have a bit of volume pop up showing what it was set, but no more. The same for left and right with the brightness fn.

    I'm not fn f3, because there is no nothing.

  • Cannot connect Tecra 8200 wireless network

    I have an old laptop Tecra 8200, I recently bought a wireless router but I can't get the laptop to connect to it.
    He sees the network and attempts to connect to it, but after a few minutes it stops and returns looking for available wireless networks.
    The laptop uses windows XP with service pack 2.
    Everything on the laptop is standard and I did no improvement to him so there the standard network card. I don't know if this is the problem and that is that I'm not sure what network card enough.

    What card Wlan do you use?
    Check Wlan card details in the Device Manager.

    Looks a bit a problem of compatibility between the wireless network card and router.
    Please make sure that your wireless network card uses the same Wlan standard IE. 802 11 B G etc. as the Wlan router.

    What you could do is update the Wlan driver too.

  • XP is connected to the wireless network but can't get online...

    I have a wireless network that works very well with my computer laptop and desktop so its punt in Mac OS, but when I boot XP, it cannot get online. He sees the network and says I'm connected but IE and Firefox keep the display of error messages telling me that they can't connect. If I click on the icon of repair under wireless network connection settings, it would loop forever in the IP address area you are looking for. I figured out how to manually enter the IP address and the error is now in the clearing the DNS cache.

    I also tried implementing the wizzards and messed with the different service settings, but still no luck.

    Does anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong or what needs to be done to get this connected to the internet?

    Why windows is so difficult? my Mac is hooked up very well with little effort.

    I'm so frustrated. Help, please

    If you are connected your computer must be able to connect to the menus wireless router and have an IP address valid (169 . xx.xx.xx isn't a valid IP address).

  • Can not get the new laptop to connect to my wireless network but connects to others

    I have just bought a new laptop Dell Inspiron 1545 to Dell.com and have tried to set up the wireless internet for the past hours. The laptop running Windows Vista Home Basic Edition, & my wireless router is an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station (about 4-5 years). Below is a list of problems / advice I've come across so far:

    (1) when trying to connect to a network, my network don't appears in the list of local networks sporadically even if she lost the signal strength of any nearby wireless signal (I must refresh the list to make it appear sometimes)
    (2) when my network is displayed in the list, it is described as a network that is not secure; There are 2 others that come and go in the list that are also not guaranteed, but I was able to connect through one of them.
    (3) when I try to connect via my network it either says unable to connect immediately or poster progress bar, then after a minute or two, says that it cannot connect.
    -to diagnose the problem, I can exclude is not not in the range of my camera as I tried to connect when I'm 2 feet more far
    -It also says view wireless connections again and try again, but this brings me to the same screen
    -L' diagnostics screen mentions that "the network is"hidden"and is either not in range of this computer or wireless settings on this computer do not match the settings of the network." (is there a setting I'm familiar with that?)
    (4) I checked device drivers and all said that they are working correctly
    (5) I can connect to the internet via a direct connection to the router via a cable ethernet not wireless

    In my view, that it is all the information I can provide about this problem. If you need more information, such as the specifications of the system, let me know where to find them and I will re-post. Thanks in advance for any help provided.

    -Jeremy

    Well, it looks like the old router was the problem. You have a new N Wireless for about $80 as suggested and it works like a charm. At took 5 seconds for your laptop to recognize and connect to it and were without problems since then. Thanks again for the help guys... I hope that I won't bother you again =)

  • 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?

  • OfficeJet 6500 a: cannot connect Officejet 6500 wireless network has

    I had my Officejet 6500 has connected to my computer cable for the past two years.  Now I'm setting up a wireless connection.  In the control panel of the printer, I have chosen settings - Web Services Setup - "Yes to allow to the Web Services-'Yes' to accept the terms of service.  So I wonder for a proxy address.

    I followed several older directions found in the forums on how to set a proxy address, but have had no success.  (Including printing the Configuration Page of the network, which was supposed to give me the IP address of the printer, but didn't).  There are indications to unplug the printer, while he was still on, then wait 30 seconds before plugging it in.  Then I tried to unplug the printer while still on, then disconnect the wireless router while still on, wait 30 seconds, and then plug in the router, leaving the network back to the top, then plug the printer back in.

    In the upper right corner of my control panel, there is a small symbol which seems to be the end of a cord.  So I guess that the printer is always set to a wired connection.  How can I reset for a wireless connection?  And when this is done, how to find a proxy address?  Thank you.

    Again, I don't know why you do not see these menus. I suggest you call HP directly now.

I don't a not to worry about this until I got an Iphone and now I would really appreciate help because its a lot cheaper to use a wireless connection when on the phone.

    I was able to re-establish the connection Wireless on my netbook today after a ton of research and messing around with the settings and then downloaded magic of network, which finally solved the problem. The problem is that I have no idea how he solved the problem, I think that it automatically sent the WEP key for the Netbook, which is what I'm missing when I try to log on to the network on the Iphone. How can I get this password appears on Network Magic? When I look at the settings, it does not show the actual numbers, that they are hidden.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    There is no other way to get the password wireless except for access to the interface of the router. Check with the Network Magic if it will show you the password wireless before attempting to access the interface of the router. Open Network Magic > go to the TASK tab > click on add a device > select computer and you want to connect wireless. If she won't ask you a USB device just click No and it should show you your wireless settings. If this isn't the case, then you will need to access the interface of the router.

    Click on this link and just follow the steps how to access the router and how to check the wireless settings. No need to change anything.
