Home Premium Network: (wireless Disabled)
Apr 17, 2010
my wireless internet was working perfectly other than maybe signal problems, one afternoon there were some updates needing to take place by restarting the computer so I restarted. Next thing I know I login to the computer and the little light at the bottom of my keyboard is red (wireless disabled) but it was in enable position so I flipped it to disable and back again and nothing. Well after looking around I couldnt find a way to enable it and just left it be. Well I turned it on two days ago and it was working so I thought "Hey its fine now" but then it wasnt working the next turn on. I went to device manager and the WLAN or Wireless adapter wasnt there, and when the light is blue it is there. I have tried full system recovery and restore to manufactor settings.

I've recently needed to reformat my hard drive due to a problem, when I originally received my computer it came with Home Premium which I had upgraded to Ultimate. I have reinstalled Home Premium and have all my programs reinstalled and setup as they should be. Now when I try to reinstall the Ultimate version, whether from the boot cd or from within Home Premium I get the message that 'upgrade is disabled'. I was led to believe
that I could upgrade from Home Premium to Ultimate. I do not remember if I ran into this problem when I first purchased the Ultimate software because it was installed on the computer prior to any software installations.

The wireless card is a Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN. I've successfully connected to many open access points that broadcast their SSID, and have had no problem tracking down and identifying access points in range of my laptop, no matter what kind of security they use. (WEP, WAP, etc)My current problem involves attempting to connect to a wireless AP that is NOT broadcasting an SSID and uses WEP 128 bit encryption. For reference, I have used a Windows XP machine and a laptop running Vista Business Edition, both of which can connect to the AP, which resides 6 ft away. On the Vista Home Premium laptop however, I get limited or no connectivity to the network. For additional security, the AP has a MAC filter in place and I have confirmed that my MAC is in the filter. Checking the packet transmission information on the status window, it is clear that the laptop is broadcasting packets without any issues, but none are being received. Logging into the AP, it shows no signs that my laptop has attempted to connect.
I've installed the latest drivers available, and at this point am at a complete loss as to why my laptop can seemingly connect to any AP but this one. Especially since I can connect with other Vista versions, and with Windows XP...........................

I'm trying to install DotNetNuke on Microsoft Vista Home Premium. I already have .NET framework 2.0, Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server Express installed on my PC. To install DotNetNuke
- Give the ASPNET (WinXP) or Network Service (Server 2003) account Read, Write, and Modify permissions on the directory you unzipped to. See the Host Settings page, ASP.NET Identity under the new Site Configuration section to be sure. Now I'm on Windows Vista Home Premium. I cannot find ASPNET or Network Service accounts. What do I do now? How can I create them on Vista Home premium? Can we do that on Vista home premium? Also, if I cannot create any of these accounts on Vista home premium then is there any workaround to acheive the above?

I had a nice network set up allowing my Laptop and Main PC to communicate both ways and transfer Video recordings from my Main to Laptop to play on the main TV running as a PC Monitor. Come the most recent set of Upgrades and Fixes last week I found that my network had died. Luckily I subscribe to Windows Secrets and last week they listed this Tech Net Article on DHCP.
Article ID: 928233 - Last Review: June 17, 2008 - Revision: 3.1Windows Vista cannot obtain an IP address from certain routers or from certain non-Microsoft DHCP servers..........

my computer doesnt have a wireless network card. It accesses the internet as it is connected to the wireless router with a yellow Ethernet cable. My laptop accesses the internet wirelesses. since my computer is connected to the wireless router, i thought it would be possible to set up a wireless home network to allow files sharing as well as accessing peripherals
on the laptop i went to Start>network>network & sharing center> set up a connection or network>set up a wireless router or access point, click next>click next> message says "Windows detected network hardware but cannot configure it automatically" i clicked the first option> logged on>but all settings were ok nothing wrong
i started everything again then chose the second option> i inserted the USB into the computer but i got a message saying i dont have the wireless network card/software on the computer . why does this matter since its connected to the wireless router
1)Is it possible to set up a wireless home network without buying anything
2)Can i have a really simple set by step guide on how to set this up in Windows Vista Home Premium

Today my laptop has made over 45 attempts each separated approximately 20-30 seconds to access another laptop in my home wireless network ports ranging from 51806-51956. The report I obtained from zone alarm firewall, Rating: High, Protocol (flags: S) 2/22/2009. I clicked more info on the attempt and zone alarm redirected me to one of their sites that mentions this attempt has blocked access to port 139 which happens to be a common port for windows network file sharing.
I am not sure whether this is actually a legitimate attempt since it was continuous for nearly 1h20m 6:50p-7:30p.

I have Vista x64 and I have read threads on this for weeks and can't fix it. I have file sharing/network discovery on, private network, password protection disabled, my shares set to everyone and everyone is on the same workgroup. My problem is that the x64 Vista computer will not see any of the XP (x86 or x64) computers and they can't see it from the Network Neighbourhood. However, if I type the IP address of the XP computers I
can access them. On the XP computers if I type the IP address I get an error that it isn't accessable and I might not have permission. However, if I type \192.168.0.100share or any of the other share names I access it just fine. pinging works too by IP but not by name. If I boot into the x86 install of have of Vista I can access XP computers from Vista and the Vista from XP by name and everything without typing any user names. The only differince between the two aside from x64 and x86 is that x86 isn't patched past SP1 as I don't use it often. Lastly after installing that XP patch I can see the x86 XP computers by name from the network map feature on Vista, still can't access them by name though...

some of you might recognize me from the windows 7 forums, this is my first post here. I have never used vista except to help my friends so I am not very familiar with it, but it's very close to the windows 7 interface so it's not that hard to learn. My friend has Vista and has a problem with her wireless. she has a lenovo R61i Laptop. the router is linksys WRT54GC. randomly the wireless capability gets disabled even though the physical switch is not changed ( is always on ), this happens usually when the PC is restarted or when the router is restarted. sometimes we restart the PC or the router but it doesn't occur, so I cannot re-create the problem easily.
I googled a bit and saw some people suggesting this could be because the wireless service is not set to automatic, so I checked services and the only service that seems to have to do with the wireless is the WLAN service, and it is set to automatic and started. all we have to do is just do diagnose and vista will say that the solution to the problem is found , which is to enable the wireless capability, so I click on that and it will enable wireless and everything will work. but for my friend is it confusing as she thinks there is a problem with her internet connection or her router, I told her it is a simple bug with vista ( I think ) and I will look for a solution.
So What else can I check? we had limited time today but tomorerow I will try more things, maybe I will try an update for the wireless driver. btw it is an intel built-in wirless. I thought I would ask if any of you have run into an issue like this and what did you do to reslove it. sounds to me like a bug with vista as I said but not really sure...Windows Update is turned on, so I asume the latest updates for vista are installed but i did not check if SP1 is installed or not.

I just got my Wii back yesterday. I had to send it off for repair because my son (3 years old) decided to put in some playing cards and a box top lid. My problem is that before I sent it off for repair I could connect to internet just fine. Now I can connect as before because my routers wireless security is disabled. I set up the router that way on purpose. Now I want to enable the wireless security, WAP Personal, which I did and reconfigured all laptops, everybody can connect. Now, when the Wii tries to connect I get error code 51030...that tells me that there is now WI-Fi access for it to pick up. If I disable wireless security it connects just fine. So, How do I keep my wireless WAP personal enabled and still be able to have the Wii connect as well.

a friend has a new sony vaio with vista home premium installed. For some reason it will not connect to my netgear router wirelessly. I have tried everything. I am however not too hot on Vista as this is my first time with it. The adaptor says its on, but when you interegate it and ask why it wont connect it keeps telling me "switch on wireless adaptor capability". In the network connections it is on, the switch on the front right is swiitched on and the wireless network light on the front is on. The network is fine and working as i have my laptop connected to it. All security is present and entered. It seems to be the computer as it doesnt find any networks when there are loads in the area. Am i missing something exceptionally obvious? Does Vista have another "on" switch for this adaptor?

My computer will load up normally the way until it reaches the screen with the green bar and black screen. The green bar will cycle through about two to three times, but then it stops moving. It moves forward just a little bit every 5 minutes though, so if I leave it like that for about 40 minutes then Vista will be able to boot to my desktop. And when I try to restart my computer, it just stays at the 'Shutting Down" screen forever. The longest I've let the shutting down screen just stay there was 20 minutes. I had to cut the power. Anything that has to do with networking seems to make my computer freeze up. I can start up in Safe Mode but not Safe Mode with Networking. And when I waited the 40 minutes start my comp up, the Vista said the the "Network cable is unplugged", but it wasn't.

I installed sp1 last night and this morning my internet was gone, the network controller on my machine couldn't find any connections, though the control panel insists the device and the driver are working correctly. I just uninstalled sp1 and got back my connection. I'd done the install hoping it would fix a problem that just started happening: Vista no longer recognizes software CD. Up until a few weeks ago, if I inserted a CD containing software (e.g. adobe CS2), the autoplay brought up the start menu. It not only no longer brings up the start menu, but when I click on the cd/dvd drive in explorer, it asks me how I want to format it. Nero's info tool reads and determines that the disc contains the software I want to install, but vista can't get to it. The only plus side of sp1 was that it correctly reports how much RAM I have installed, instead of 2.93 as it did prior to sp1. Any idea how to install software now that Vista no longer recognizes software media?

Reviewing Services on my Vista Ultimate 64-bit machine I noticed that the DNS Client is disabled? I have a wireless router configured to the laptop and to the printer and have for some times been experiencing disconnection problems to the laptop and loosing the printer connectivity completely until I unplug the router, wait, and plug it back in--which will restore connectivity until the next time.
Shouldn't the DNS Client be enabled? Also noticed in Services I found HP Network Devices Support is set to Automatic (Delayed Start). Could this be what is causing the printer (C7280 All-in-One) to write so many (hundreds in days) .log entries in
WindowsTemp?

I suddenly notice a lot of references to SP1 for Vista. I have stopped updates on my Vista Home Premium, after it killed my WinMail. I uninstalled upto KB 933928, and disabled updates. It is working fine, but I found AVG offering me AVG 8.0, which refused to install saying my Vista is not updated ( after downloading 80MB twice !! !&*()^%$$). How do I get to SP1? Just install all updates from MS? Will my WinMail survive? Or will I be forced to shift to XP Outlook? There is a lot of flak meant for Vista, but my system is very stable ( touch wood and everything else)
Request MVP advice.

No sound issue was solved by my finally uninstalling the driver (convenant) and reinstalling an older one. The problem did start after making alot of updates, one of which was for the Convexant driver. Jan 6 or later so I used one from Dec. Voila!
Haven't seen anyone else using this driver (the other two are Bluetooths) so wonder if it sucks and if I should be using somethng else for this system??

I am facing problems with the registry of the OS. When I install new software, I get some unusual error messages pointing to registry. When I try to uninstall old software, it leaves traces of the software even on the Start up Menu.
Can I do a format of the entire hard disk, reinstall Vista Home Premium (32 bit) again ?? Will it consider my old license or do I need to purchase an additional license ?
If I do a clean installation of the entire OS, what will be the case for Microsoft Office Student Edition 2003 ? Will it consume additional license if I clean install it?

When I put the 64 bit install disk in, it goes through the usual install process. I entered the product key from my 32 bit box, and continued. The install then fails as it says it cannot find an authorised disk to install on. My 32 bit Vista is fully activated, so I am not sure how to get around this.

Installed Free AVG 8 here today on two systems - Vista Home Premium SP1 and XP SP3 with IE7.
On the Vista machine, the installation of AVG 8 broke IE7 in opening a second window - it just hung until the "not responding" message appeared.I tried installing AVG without the surfsearch function, and without the Linkscanner module - still couldn't open a second window in IE. Uninstalling of AVG 8 cured the problem.
The installation on XP SP3 with IE7 had no effect at all. IE7 behaved perfectly normally.
Anyone seen this, and is there a fix?
(The reason I went for AVG is that it picked up a virus on my XP machine
