In WinXP's Network Connections, there is an advanced settings option in the advanced menu, is there such a place in Vista? The reason I ask is I have computers with XP and NetBeui; I have File and print sharing, and Client for MS Networks checked for NetBeui, and unchecked for TCP/IP. I want to do the same in Vista. NetBeui works for a wired connecton in Vista, but I have yet to get it to work wirelessly.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a network with two computers, one with XP and the other one with Vista Ultimate. Both computers are wired to a Lynksys router. Before the Vista installation, I had no problem. Now, when I boot and try to go on the net, I got an error message "There is more than one active network connection on this computer."
Th only but cumbersome solution I found was to go in "Network ans sharing Center" where there was not only my private network but also an "unindentified public network". I had to disable the local connection for it then go to diagnose and repair in order to reinstall the local area connection. After that, everything is fine ... until the next reboot.
I have a Zepto (company went bankrupt) computer with a Vista peremium 64-bit os. For about 2 months ago i reinstalled the computer but it was yesterday i needed my wlan card for first time. I can use my wlan but i can use wired internet. I have tried both old and new drivers. I got the computer wlan switch on but i still can't enable wlan under Network connections. Everything under the device manager is installed and working correct. When i enbale My wireless network it does not change. It is still disabled. When i try to enable it true my Ralink (wlan card distributor) software it just say "Switch radio state fail". I'm completely out of ideas now.

View 5 Replies View RelatedThe Network and Sharing Center displays a Network Name preceding the Network Type (Public or Private) both of which can be modified. Under the Control Panels | System |Advanced system settings under the Computer Name tab you can view the Workgroup Name and of course modify. I understand the importance of having the Workgroup Name consistent between my XP and Vista computers. Should the Network Name be the same as the Workgroup Name? Does the Network Name have any function in network connections?
View 4 Replies View RelatedThe new Network and Sharing Center in Windows Vista is great for the average Windows user but can be a huge headache for advanced users. When I need to make a change to my network settings I don't want to be forced to go through the networking interface for the average non-technical users. I want to go right to the settings screen and make the change.Â
I am a big fan of the old Windows XP network approach where I could modify all of the network settings and connect to wireless network from the Network Connections screen. In Windows Vista, the Network Connections screen still exists, as shown above, but you have to go through the Network and Sharing Center screen first. Using a very useful explorer trick I discovered when playing with "::" and explorer class IDs, you can create a shortcut that will take you directly to the Network Connections screen.
Right click on the desktop and select New and then Shortcut.
In the location box, copy and paste explorer.exe ::{7007ACC7-3202-11D1-AAD2-00805FC1270E} and hit Next....
Ever wonder why you get network authentication errors when you are trying access a mapped network share from a process that was elevated by UAC? Josh over at WindowsConnected has a great article on how you can fix this annoying issue:
On Windows Vista when you map a drive under your admin account you will find that your mapped drive is not available after you switch to your full token via a RunAs or Consent dialog. This is by design because there are actually two tokens in play here. What happens is the LSA recognized that you are admin at logon and creates two logons. The first with a "filtered" token or non-admin which is used to render your desktop and the other containing your full token to be available after consent dialogs.Â
Because there are two separate logons there are separate logon ID's. When network shares are mapped they are linked to the current logon session for the current process token. Meaning you don't have access to the network drive from the alternate logon. This can come into play with logon scripts and a number of other areas where you may require access to a network share from both tokens....
have a new laptop trying to set it up with our wireless interenet on our desktop. it is asking for a passkey. i have a network key but that doesn't seem to be working. where can i find my wireless network settings on my desktop to put into my laptop.
View 4 Replies View RelatedEverytime I reboot the laptop I loose the ability to connect to the internet although the laptop confirms a connection to the wireless network router.I click "Diagnose this connection" and choose "Automatically get new IP Settings for the network adapter" I have internet connectivity restored.
The laptop is an HP dv6755ca, less then one week old, and has been checked to be sure all drivers and updates have been installed. I have run anti-virus and checked for malware/spyware. The network setup is 1. PC connected via ethernet, 1. wireless laptop and 1. smc8014w-g wireless gateway.
Although the setup was walked through with me by the technician (over the phone) I'm not yet ruling out a faulty set-up in the 192.168.0.1 site [except that I have had no issues with the wired connection].
Home or Work (Private Network) - Choose one of these locations for home [or work]... Public place (Public Network) - Choose this location for networks in public places (such as coffee shops or airports). This is manifestly wrong, as you should choose Public for Internet Connections, whether they are in a coffee shop, in at your own home or where ever; moreover, you might wish to secure even a Private Network with Public settings. The names are confusing too: Public sounds as if you are opening yourself up to everyone; Private sounds more secure.
Obviously this is the wrong way round... It took me ages (and a lot of hunting around forums like this) to figure it all out. Statements like "If there’s only one computer on your network..." don't help since the statement "network with only one computer" is surely a non-sequetur: there needs to be more than one for a network... The internet is made up of billions of computers, so technically there are billions of computers on "my" network, we just can't see each other. There is no mention at all of general internet connections, in fact. Perhaps MS could find a way to rewrite this section of Help to make it clear to people without home networks (the vast majority, probably) that their Internet settings should be Public?
1. Windows Vista x64 shows an error message
"Add Network Location
The folder you entered does not appear to be valid. Please choose another."
after clicking Next in "Specify the location of your website
Type the address of the website, FTP site, or network location that this
shortcut will open" window.
The folder is {url}
I can add the Network Location in Windows XP by doing the same.
Norton Internet Security 2008 is installed.
The account is administrative.
2. IE x86 crashes during opening a page when IE x64 is open.
3. Windows does not allow to turn on the language bar and input a switch
language keyboard shortcut in Guest account: it turns language bar and
shortcut off after clicking "Apply".
My Vista (Buiness. Edition) connects to a network through a proxy server at work. How can I set up a separate "profile" (not sure of right term) so I can use other network settings at home (no proxy) but not mess up my work network configuration? I get "cache access denied" in Internet Explorer. I researched this, but the other problems with this symptom do not appear to apply.

View 7 Replies View RelatedFor the past week I have been working with IoBit in testing various betas of Advanced Windows Care. Finally after many unreleased betas, I now have Advanced Windows Care working with Vista x64. I would say that it won't be too long before they release the final version of Advanced Windows Care that is compatible with x64. I consider Advanced Windows Care to be a great all in one program and after I had problems with their beta, I offered to test for them.

View 6 Replies View RelatedWindows Vista includes a two-way firewall that has outbound filtering disabled by default. Why? The best explanation that I got was that it was too complicated for end-users to use so they had that feature turned off as well as hidden. In fact, it is hidden so well that many users may think that the two-way firewall was yet another feature that was pulled from the final product. While that is true for other features the two-way firewall made it into the final product, you just need to know how to find it.
To get started, just click on the Start Button and key in wf.msc and hit Enter. This will bring up the comprehensive Windows Firewall with Advanced Security management interface. Here you will be able to configure rules for incoming as well as outgoing connections.
Make sure that you set the default action for outbound connections from allow to block. Otherwise the outbound firewall will be useless because it will allow all connections. This can be done from the Windows Firewall Properties link found on the main screen of the management interface.
