Cable Unplugged On To Xp Machine
Mar 23, 2008
I have little red crosses on the LAN connections between my 2 pcs - one running vista, on running xp sp2. The ethernet cable is plugged in, and the ethernet ports work ok when connecting to a router, they only stop working when one pc is plugged to the other So far I've tried, amongst other things: -Installing the XP networking patch on the xp machine - Getting the workgroup and user names the same on both machines I dont seem to be able to run ipconfig on 1 pc - the window pops up ,scrolls and quickly closes. The xp machine says "cable unplugged" when connected to the vista pc, but is fine when I plug it into the router Can bright ideas...?

EVERYTHING is plugged in, the internet on my computer is working fine. However my laptop says "local and internet connection" but only displays the 5 bars now if I go into network configuration. It says everything is connected, yet ALSO says the LAN cable is unplugged, which it isn't. I originally thought this might be a problem with the laptop itself but my dad brought his home from work and it doesn't work either... I've done pretty much everything you can think of doing to fix this problem but nothing is working

I've bridged my wireless and ethernet connections to connect my xbox360 to the internet. This worked fine before on this laptop but now it don't! I've enabled compatibility mode via netsh but I still get "network cable unplugged" on MAC Bridge Miniport immediately after I create the bridge. The wireless network works just fine when I remove the bridge. I have the latest drivers and SP.

i have windows vista ultimate x64 since i first got my computer, never formatted it afterwards and its the same install since first. I have a problem that started some time a go (i think it started in md autumn last year) after installing NIS 2010 (i suppose this is when it really started). And if you ask me, no, it's not original. Or it may have started after an update...this is the problem cuz i can't pinpoint accurately when it first appeared. So here's the problem: my windows loads normally i type in the password to my account, and then i get the "X" icon on the Networks (it appears like this, the X doesnt appear after "it loads") i have to wait like 30 seconds and i'm not kidding, when my computer normally fully loads vista in 12 seconds or so (with all the startup progrms). AND HERE COMES THE S@#T biscuit: almost anything windows-related operations don't work until that stupid icon turns to normal (without the X)... like User Account control (UAC appears after the icon turns to normal, eventually), On-screen keyboard i found out that it doesn't appear until that stupid X disappears (i had probs with my keyboard).
There's another curious thing: if i wait a few seconds at the log in screen and then decide to log in, everything loads normally (as if that stupid X has a fixed timer when it disappears). Internet works fine, no network problems... except one minor, windows-related problem: i can't click the damn icon or right click it doesn't do jack !@@# as if the icon is frozen... if i hover my mouse over it nothing appears (the list of connected networks would normally appear if you hover the mouse pointer). I have Hamachi and Tunngle installed (they are both progrms which create virtual networks,i removed tunngle a few weeks ago though), but i had them before this problem first appeared and worked fine. Another thing i need to mention is i started to get some retarded "device is not working" like 4 of them under network adapters something called Windows 6to4 Adapter #4, #5 #6, but i solved it (unninstalled them, then reinstall ONE of it).

I have 2 computers,1printer, xbox360,and ps2. Comp1 running vista and comp2 running winxp sp3. I also have a 5 port ethernet hub. Last week I switched from DSL to Cable 20mb. With the dsl router all I had to do to allow both machines on line at same time was to just hook them up to the hub. No modifications needed. My problem is that the new cable modem (motorola) will only allow One machine on at a time. To switch machines I must reset the modem and re asign ip each time I switch machines. My ultimate goal in the end is to have all 4 machines be able to access the internet and each other. Can I accomplish this with the 5 port HUB, or do I need to buy a router. (wireless is out of the question).

As I was playing a game my speakers stopped and minimized, then my Realtek HD Audio Manager says that my headset is plugged in, I looked to see if it was, it wasn't...and now my sound is muted, I rebooted the computer and there was no change, I closed Realtek Audio Manager down and started it back up and still no change!

ive been getting this problem for a while now, even after system restoring. whenever im running something that requires audio, eg. itunes, ventrilo, Internet video etc a balloon will pop up from 'realtek hd audio manager' saying a device (my headphones) has been unplugged, it will then say the device has been plugged in again. it cuts the audio for about a second (very frustrating) and if i am in game, will make me lag also. it seems to occur more frequently when i am in vent and in game, if more than 2-3 people talk at once it will happen definately. i have tried reinstalling directx10, playing around inside the realtek hd audio manager.. but to no prevail.

When I browse for a printer on the network I can see the workgroup, I can see the PC with the printer, but I don't see the printer show up under the PC in the Add Printer Wizard dialog. This was easy for me back when there were two machines running XP.
I have installed the x86 printer driver on the Vista machine. Would this be easier if I upgraded the Vista machine to Windows 7?

Computer 1 is my home desktop running Vista Premium SP1. It is on the 'workgroup' workgroup. Computer 2 is my work laptop (on docking station) running XP Pro SP2. It is on a domain called 'amer'. There is an HP LaserJet 2100 connected to the Vista machine. It is shared. This is a wired network with D-Link router. At first I thought it was a sharing issue when I could not print from the XP machine to the printer on the Vista machine. But then I realized it is a network issue because if I try to browse the Vista machine from the XP machine I get the 'no access, you may not have permission', etc. message. To make it work, I :
1. start the XP machine (assuming the Vista machine is already running)
2. wait about 15 minutes for the Vista machine to see that the XP machine is there.
3. Browse to and open the XP machine from the Vista machine
4. Go to the XP machine, open its workgroup (amer) and then open the XP machine
5. Wait a minute or so, then while still on the XP machine, navigate to
Vista machine's workgroup ('workgroup') and open the workgroup. If the Vista machine appears I am good to go. I don't need to browse it, it just needs to appear.........................

Its been about three months since I've given up trying to network my Vista machine with my XP machine, but I thought I would try it again. here are my symptoms again:
*Vista (Ultimate) machine cannot see XP (Home SP2) machine.
*XP machine can see and access the Vista machine.
*Xp machine shows up in the Vista Network Map, but not the Network Folder.
*Both machines can ping each other.
*I can access the XP machine via IP address, I can access the shared folder but not a shared printer.
*IPConfig for Vista shows that NetBIOS over TCP/IP is disabled even though it is enabled in the Network Adaptor Properties dialog. (NetBIOS over TCP/IP always enabled, the middle radio button)
Other information:
*Everything worked as it should once apon a time, then it all went to Hell. It could have been an update, tweaking software, or antivirus setting, but I notcie too late to do anything about it.
*I know it can't be that I don't have the same User/Password on both machines (I tried it anyway but it still didn't work), because it worked awhile back without having the same accounts on both machines.
*I had Bitdefender 2008 on the Vista machine, the Firewall log had entries that the ports 138 and 139 were being refused, despite having the XP machine being on the trusted list (by its IP address). So I uninstalled the Antivirus, but the problem persists.
*The XP machine has Zone Alarm Internet Security.................

I have the following issue and hope that somebody can give me a hint about what might be going on! My system has two raid 1 arrays - one is running on XP Professional SP3 the other one is running on Vista x64 Ultimate SP1. When I start my virtual machines (either from the Virtual PC console or when double-clicking the *.vmc files) than everything is working fine on XP and the virtual machines are booting and running as expected. However, on Vista the following is happening (and I hope somebody has an idea):
1. Starting the Virtual machines from the console leads to an immediate reboot of my host machine (I can't even see any boot screen of the virtual machine - it is like clicking start in the VPC console -- > reboot of host).
Now I tried the following:.........

I have a cable with a square nine 9 pins, a second square nine 9 pins and a single flat blade pin same on both ends. I am assuming it is to go from computer to computer. What is it? It also has a molded clamp on each end. It came with my computer about 1 year ago.

I use a LCD tv for my monitor. Currently im using a VGA cable to connect it. My 3D card has a DVI out and my TV has an HDMI in. So will it be better to use a DVI-HDMI cable. The VGA cable im using is a cheap one and seems to be having a shielding issue.

how to get Windows to remember my modem settings. Every time I wake up or restart my computer I have to get Windows to reset my modem. This has only just started happening after I had help from Microsoft. They had me run a reset .bat to reset my services (in an effort to restart Security Center). It failed and I have since run Black Vipers "safe" settings and also turned off Media Center services. Microsoft help has left my computer in a worse state than it was before I went to them

I have an HP laptop, a Pavillion dv9000. I recently got an hdmi cable to connect it to my tv. I was able to get it to work the first time, but subsequently when I've tried my mouse cursor disappears. I can still toggle icons and such using the keyboard but it's a pain. any thoughts on why this is happening or what to do to fix it?

I see all these USB link cabled on eBay and most say they're not compatible with Vista. Why? What is the big deal? The reason I'm asking is part of my job is to retrieve databases off clients' machines and sometimes I can't tear it down and pull the drive.In that case I have to screw around with jump drives - etc. With the size of these files I need a backup plan - link two machines and pull the data off via a cable.So, why no Vista?

With old computer, running Windows XP, if I wanted to transfer pictures from my camera to my computer I could just plug the USB cord into the camera & into the computer and the picture wizzard would automatically come up and walk me right through it. With my new computer, running Windows Vista, when I plug the USB cable in, I get the sound that I usually get when I plug the cable in but nothing more happens. I don't know how to get to the wizzard so I can download (or upload or whatever the correct term is) my pics to my computer. I do have the capability to take out my XD picture card and insert it into my computer but I also want to be able to use the USB cable. Is this a Vista thing?

I am trying to use a SYBA USB to Parallel Cable to support my Color LaserJet 5 printer underVISTA. I checked SYNA and they stated support for only SPP mode but don't know where to change to SPP mode. Also, is there a special driver to change theinterface from Parallel to USB? I also tried using the installed Manhattan Parallel Port card but the result is always the same - data is loaded into the printer and then disappears without printing and no errors.

I've got a SAMSUNG notebook and my "Atheros AR5007EG Wireless Network Adapter" seems to be not working. I cannot see (let alone connect to) any wireless environment. I have to access the internet via ethernet cable, which is really annoying. I've done the following so far: The device manager says the adapter is working properly. I've updated to the latest driver The adapter is also turned on. I don't know what else I should do.

I have the vista premium and I'm trying to set up the win fax for cable, through comcast in spokane wa. I have three fax pending and not sent. It says that I have to set it up on the server. I have no clue about setting it up, and I am the system admin on my personal computer. The other issue is the dialing rules do not work. I do not want the win fax to dial +1 for a local number.

Which is the maximum length for using the HDMI cable? Ok what i want to do is. I will like to connect my PC Graphic card Ati Radeon 3870x2 with my HDTV Samsung LE40A656F1 1080p 100Hz LCD 50,000:1 Both are 1080p capable and they have HDMI. But they are in separate rooms,the distance from pc to tv is 50ft long.
1)Is there any problem to use 50ft long HDMI cable?
2)Is there any <<special>> HDMI cable for 1080p?
3)Which is the best brand for the best results?
4)How do i know if my HDMI cable is 1080p capable?
(The main usage for my pc is gaming in 1920x1080 resolution and watching HD movies) I forgot to write that i already have 1 connected tv in my graphic card and i want to connect a SECOND tv in the SECOND hdmi of my card. Is that ok? i will find any problems in picture quality,sound or anything else? The purpose of all this is to play(1920x1080) games in my room,and watch 1080p movies in the living room. How i enable the second tv view in my card? (Btw i found a 15metres HQ hdmi cable) is that a good brand?

I recently purchased a HP C4180 All-in-One printer for use on my Vista home Premium 32-bits laptop. But I don't succeed in installing the printer. Everytime that I have to plug in the USB-cable, Vista recognizes the printer model, but doesn't find the drivers. I've already concacted the HP customer center, and many people tried to help me, but without succes. At last, I tried to install the printer on our XP-computer, and this worked very well, without problems.
I have to say that these drivers were installed with the XP-installation disk of HP. The other cd that came with my printer was a vista-drivers cd. At last, one of the people who helped me, said it could be a problem with the USB-cable. The length was alright (1.80 meters), and it worked on XP, but they said that Vista is more sensitive for different cables... I use this cable for my Maxtor hard drive too, on this laptop, without any problem caused by Vista.

I have two HD tv tuners in my machine, which I ordered when purchased the machine, so the cable guy came to my house to put a card they have to put in the back of this tuner (equiv. of digital cable box, I'm paying $10/mo. for it..) but now I can't activate the digital cable-tv feature in Windows Media Center b/c Vista is not accepting the product key supplied (it's in a sticker on the machine..) folks where I bought my machine said it's b/c Vista has gotten corrupted and I need to re-install it.. (this is based on their experience with other users having reported this problem, it was solved by re-installing Vista..)
now pls note I'm NOT talking about the Windows activation prod key, but another one, a 2nd product key on sticker in my machine, specif. for digital cable TV.. Vista is not accepting this product key; I have to do a clean re-install, which means wiping out all my data and starting over.. this is a HUGE pain..pls also note that the card the cable co. installed is correct one (WMC checks to see if you have correct hardware before it proceeds, I wouldn't get as far as where it asks for digital cable tv product key if I didn't have correct hardware in there..) before I embark on re-installing Vista I would like to know if there's another solution to this problem..
