Router Not Shown As Part Of Network
Jun 21, 2008
I have had a new vista desktop for about 6 weeks. It is hooked directly into a Linksys router which in turn hooked to my DSL modem. I also have a laptop on the network connected wirelessly. For the first few weeks, whenever I clicl on network I see three icons--one for the desktop, one for the laptop and one for the router. Acouple of weeks ago I noticed that now there is only an icon for the desktop and for the laptop. I have rebooted several times and then run the network utility but the router ceases to show up. The router works as both pc's have internet access and both pc's share files ok.

I have forgotten the Username and Password for the Login ID... and it is not the default (Username: *blank* Password: admin). I have heard you can hold the reset button on the back of the wireless router but will this reset my wireless network? By that i mean... will i be able to connect with my laptop still through that wireless network or will i have to set it up again?

No networking. Nothing. Can not ping router, dns, other IP's, etc. The whole reason I upgraded to Vista Home Premium 64 was so that I can use the now 4+ gigs of ram I have (for some virtualization stuff I do) and mess with DirectX 10.
Anyway, vista installed flawlessly. The only only device that didn't install in the device manager was the ACPI (or whatever it's called) from the motherboard. For 2 whole days I have tried to get online using either of those network card. I have tried the following:..........

I have a BIG problem with my wireless network. I have two PC, one with vista ultimate X64 sp1 and another with both the same vista version plus XP sp3 X86 installed. my wireless network is based on ASUS, one router (with vista support) and another WIFI adapter installed on my second PC and as you might guess my main PC is connected to the router via the standard cable. I using WPA2 with a 63 ASCII PSK and it just works well with my XP sp3 but simply when I log in to vista it can't connect to my router, Vista can find my WIFI singal and say that it has a Good-Excellent signal. I downloaded and installed the x64 version of driver for my WIFI Adapter from ASUS website and it seems it should work. I tried everything. checking password...make it shorter reading articles about netWORKING.

I recently moved my wireless router and cable modem away from my Vista PC. It was always configured wirelessly, as I knew I would have to move it at some point. I left the computer on when I unplugged the router etc. and then set them up downstairs. When I tried to access the network after everything had been set up again, I noticed that Vista thought my home network was an "Unidentified network" but still had my ssid in (___). Only problem was that now my network is "local only". I am connected to the router as local-only, and tried to adjust my router setting via the router page at 192.168.1.1 It was returned as page not found. Is Vista confused? If I was truly conncted to the router and even if internet was not working I should be able to adjust the settings on the router,right?
I can access the internet just fine with all of my other devices in the house, such as Tivo, Ps3 and Windows mobile cellphone. All of these are able to connect to the internet through my router. There are other networks available around me, so I tried to connect to one of those. Same thing, local only. I cannot confirm that internet works on this other network. But I have narrowed it down to a problem with my Vista computer.

I've read that SP1 has been made available through Windows Update but when I go there it does not show as available. Running Vista Ultimate 32 on my computer, full retail. Has it only been rolled out to some users at this point?

I downloaded iTunes, version 8 I believe, and I see the progress line go all the way across in the Downloads window and the installer appears on my Desktop as TunesSetup.exe.part. It won't open and when I look at Properties, under General Tab it shows as having 0 bytes and in the Details tab, it shows as having 1.55 mb.

My desktop doesn't show upon startup in VistaHome Premium. Only a blank screen and the windows explorer is shown. I have to manually go into task manager and runtask "explorer.exe" to show my desktop. I ran a scan using NOD32 antivirus software and there wasn't any virus.

My 10 month old computer is showing 98% full on "C" drive (64.4 GB installed, 1.41 GB left) I'm running Windows Vista Home Basic. I'm just very confused as to why it is almost full when I hardly have anything on it yet. I've cleaned it up the best I can and deleted all that I think I can and I've defragmented after-with little or no change.

I am having an issue with the hd 4350 card. I read on another post that re-installing windows solved the problem however I have an on-board video unlike the said poster. Problem: Device manager only lists the on-board display adapter, not the 4350. Heres the funny thing, When I run my diag program (pasted below) the 4350 is actually listed. I did RMA the first one I received and was disappointed to see the replacement doing the same thing. Anyway the reason for this post is to find any other possible solutions before I go an re-install windows. Wiping my puter is really the last resort for me but at this point RMA is no longer the issue.

I just noticed a file in C: named SYM_REGISTRY_BACKUP.reg, dated 4/22008. It is quite large (223MB) so I wanted to delete it to free up some space. Searching the Internet, I can't tell if it is part of a virus or it I can safely delete it without breaking some legit working program (assuming it is not virus related). I scanned it with Norton and it says it is ok.

The screen in the picture below has shown up twice. Once upon awakening from sleep and once while reading a document in Firefox. The only cure is to press and hold the on/off button until the system powers down. Windows says that I have the most current video driver. What else can I check before sending it back to HP? Picture taken with my iPhone in a dimly lit room.

My wife has just bought a laptop and has been playing the included "Hearts" game that comes with Vista Basic. I have set so that her name -Pat- appears as the key player in the game but for no apparent reason sometimes she becomes 'User' and Pat is not shown on the screen. There is nothing I can see to cause this but advice from one of you knowledgeable people out and might keep me out of the doghouse.

...."there's this video on Internet. it's all about the new "eye candy" in
windows and ubuntu. in the first part of the video, the unseen
demonstrator shows-off windows vista aero, including some of the more
talked-about ui effects (flip3d, live task bar thumbnails, etc.). in the
second part, they show ubuntu with compiz fusion enabled. the
demonstrator shows how the "compiz-ified" ubuntu windows warp and bend;
how they can be stretched and deformed; how they can be configured to
seemingly "burn-up" in a in a flash of virtual smoke and fire.
the whole demo takes place against the backdrop of a pulsing bit of
techno beat ("lyrical gangsta?"), making for a decidedly surreal
experience. it's ubuntu with compiz fusion enabled - a.k.a. linux on crack.
of course, like most attempts by the linux community to parrot windows
vista, the aforementioned "eye candy showdown" misses the forest for the
trees. yes, vista includes some new ui effects and animations. however,
unlike linux and the whole compiz fusion head trip, the effects in vista
serve a practical purpose: to clarify the basic functions of the user
interface. moreover, the effects themselves are the product of many
months of research and usability studies about how users interact with
guis in a production environment...."

I installed Vista on a PC that previously had XP pro. I basically only need vista nowadays and want to get rid of XP pro to gain more HD space.So, Vista is on partition C and XP is on partition D on the same hard drive. I can not delete or partition the XP part. I get an error message saying ."The attempted operation cannot be completed. This operation is not valid on volumes containing system partition, boot partition ore pagefiles".The XP partitions says "System, Primary Partition".I set the Vista partition to be 'active'.

I bought a new laptop with Vista 64 bit and am setting it up, etc. I have a problem with the newsgroup part of windows mail. I still have my old laptop and it still posts to the newsgroups via outlook express 6. I'm using it right now. Incidentally, Bellsouth/ATT is going to drop newsgroups next month.I have the same settings for the account in both laptops. This one is running XP pro. When I set up the acct on the Vista one, the headers came in asusual. Everything works as usual, except when I click on send, it doesn't send. I get an error message instead. I get this one: "windows mail could not post your message. etc...snip.. 441posting failed rejected by post filter port 119,secure (ssl): no, server error :401 error number: 0x800CCCA9" Is there a hidden trick to setting it up so it sends? I searched the net and one guy had the same problem and resolved it by changing the mimo to uuncode, or something like that, I forget exactly what they were, but I found them buried in a menur on my system somewhere, and made the change but it didn't fix mine.

In a NG, I have joined with a question similar to that of the OP. I wanted to avoid a new thread to prevent that NG of being extended too much, and I expected only one answer. But my question initiated a lot of following postings. So, after all I wish I had made up a new thread. Is it possible to separate all these postings into a separate thread? Or at least to change the content of the subject-line?
