XP SP3 laptop computer connects to various WiFi hotspots but not to an individual.

Just upgraded to Verizon MiFi 2200 MiFi 4620 the personal hotspot.  Our other Office XP SP3 computer, a Windows 7 laptop and Tablet Android ASUS everything automatically detected and entering the network key/password, all connected to the hotspot and the WWW.

Fortunately, the XP SP3 laptop connects to other WiFi hotspots and will always connect to the MiFi 2200 old if it is powered even if, of course, he cannot access the WWW, because Verizon's network no longer recognizes the 2200 due service is transferred to the new 4620 MiFi.

The XP SP3 laptop detects the new hotspot very well.  The command 'View available wireless networks' shows the new hotspot, but when 'Connect' is attempted he goes just in the cycle to appear in the connection, but returned eventually to view available wireless networks.  The 'Connect' button is available, implying that it would connect so click on new.

Use the same settings (SSID, password, encryption, etc) for the device problem than others who work as they should.  It seems to be an incorrect setting or adjustment in the laptop but I can not understand that one.  I compared the services running on two XP machines and have found no obvious inadequacy.

Advice?

Thank you!

When you say that the new device has the same encryption, do you mean that you know that both old and new devices use the same type of encryption (for example, WPA2, WPA, WPA-TKIP, etc.)?

I noticed the following two statements in the Guide of the user for the MiFi 4620 L (page 30)

  • WPA/WPA2 Personal joint (safer, less compatible with older devices)
  • IMPORTANT you must use the profile secured with WPA/WPA2 Personal Mode security settings mixed when possible.

Suggesting that the MiFi 4620 can by default that set... and that the hardware in your computer laptop problem is one of the 'old' devices that is not compatible with this setting.

Just as an experiment, temporarily configure the MiFi to 'Open' (see pages 30 et seq.) and see if your laptop can connect.

    Hello

    Disable all the security settings on your router and then try to connect the M400 protected wireless.
    If you will be able to connect to the WLan and will be able to navigate a few s webpage you could activate step by step all the security settings such as encryption of WLan, Mac address filtering, SSID hidden, etc.

  • How to connect to 2 wifi hotspots by using the 2 wireless network connection (wifi virtual Miniport Adapter) Using Windows 7?

    the main wifi adapter is connected to a Wifi hotspot
    I want to use the wifi virtual Miniport Adapter available in windows 7 to connect to another wireless connection at the same time, is this possible and how?
    Thank you.

    Hi Grafx1,

    Virtual WiFi cards are commonly used for things like virtual machines or VPN connections and are not the real wireless cards.
    To connect to 2 wireless networks, you need 2 physical wireless adapters.
    I hope this helps!

  • I can connect to the local network, but not to the internet

    Why in an internet connection, I can connect to the Local network, but not to the Internet.
    I have valid IP address and configuration is good.

    I recommend you read some threads here in the forum about similar issues.
    If this problem occurs using the WiFi network, then check if you can use the connection to the local network.
    Using the WiFi network, you must check if the common WLan parameters are favourable;
    Check if the encryption key is right; turn off filtering by mac address, check the TCP/IP protocol settings if it has been set to automatic, disable the firewall settings, rest you WLan router, check if you connected to the right SSID.

    Good bye

  • I can't scroll through sites that I connect. something happened in mozilla firefox. It allows to work when I am connected to a Web page, but not now. all I can do is

    I can't scroll through sites that I connect. something happened in Firefox Mozilla. He used to work when I am connected to a Web page, but not now. all I can do is to manipulate the page through links on the page. No sidebar to scroll or the other. It works fine in Explorer, so I know it's a problem with Firefox, also can scroll etc on pages like MSN, Yahoo, etc., but does not not using Firefox, when I connect to one Web site other than the one which is also a search engine, what happened? can you help me?

    You get a pop-up window or dialog style without menu or the toolbar either? In this case:

    38 of Firefox has a little problem with this combination of circumstances:

    (1) turned off tabbed browsing
    (2) viewing a page in a private window
    (3) you click on a link encoded with target = "_blank", which launches the link in a new window

    The new window opens without menus, toolbar, scroll bars, etc.

    Work on this bug is in progress, but I don't know if the fix will be available in the coming weeks. These are the known workarounds so you can continue using windows browsing private - one of them will work around the bug:

    (1) use tabbed browsing (there is a checkbox in Options > general > "Open new windows in a new tab instead");

    (2) shift + click the links to open in a new window with standard features. or

    (3) change a bunch of hidden settings as explained below - it will not you make changes to the way you use Firefox, but sometimes you need to enlarge some small pop-up windows that have been sized for a window with no toolbar displayed.

    # 3, here are the steps:

    (A) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (B) in the search above the list box, type or paste feat and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (C) for each preference that begins with dom.disable_window_open_feature. , if it is not 'true', double-click it to true.

    You may find that you prefer this anyway, given that sites can band is more these pop-up windows features.
