Wireless LAN Fails, All Parts Work Fine.
Nov 28, 2007
Small home wireless LAN, Netgear WGR614v4 router, Using WPA, two XP machines, one Vista (home Basic ),
1) all working ok for many hours, except when
2) Vista machine goes to sleep mode. On wakeup, no connection. Network SSID is visible, good signal, but repeated attempts to connect fail.
3) Other computers connect to router, and internet fine. They can also standby/poweroff and restart fine. Still connected.
4) Reboot Vista computer, no help. Network settings look normal, just no connection to wireless router. Incredibly irritating Vista diagnostic tool suggests I connect to a another network, or recycle the router. (If the router was close enough to be easily recycled, I would just plug in an ethernet cable. But it is not, and I am tired of unnecessary trips to the basement.)
5) Power cycle router, and everything fine again.

Ive just had broadband connected to my house. Currently I have a network consisting of four computers connected through an internal switch on one of my computers in one of the bedrooms for ease of cabling. The computer with the broadband modem has been chosen as it is newest and is closest to the telephone line socket. It has two network cards, one connected to the modem and the other to the rest of the network. Independantly, the network connections are running fine (all computers can see each other and transfer data properly) and the internet connection is working well for the computer connected directly to the modem.
The network is setup using Static IP Addresses 192.168.0.1-192.168.0.4 (With 0.1 being for the host) and the modem is connected using a different set of IP addresses. I have also set the internet connection sharing options according to what is required on the microsoft website for both the internet host and clients. I have both Norton Antivirus and Zonealarm activated on all computers but have set them up to allow access to each other. My problem therefore is, despite my broadband connection working on the one computer, and my network connections working, I cannot get ICS to work.

HAWX: which is that the aircraft doesn't stop spinning, i am unable to control the plane. I use a PlayStation 2 USB joystick which has been configured and synced with the PC, so that the every button/joystick works. I am 100% sure that there is not a problem with the joystick, as i use it for other games such as Microsoft Flight Sim X and Test drive unlimited. The analogue sticks and buttons work fine.
i have tried both changing the control setting to keyboard but, once again the problem is still there, the plane doesn't stop spinning out of control...##Is it my controls? My general setting are on default so everything original...i have played around with the setting invert/normal... still the same result

For some reason my Windows DVD Maker has ceased to work when it used to work perfectly. I am able to add files to burn but when I hit next and go to where I can change the settings before burning it says that "windows dvd player has stopped working and windows is checking to see if there is a solution to the problem" I then get a message box stating "a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
This program used to work just fine but stopped working and I do not get a notification of what the problem is or a code or something from Windows. I've recently updated to SP1 using Vista on an Acer 5570 laptop. I've tried changing the speed and placing the video on my desktop instead of pulling from folders but that makes no difference. I've changed file extensions, downloaded other programs to convert files to different types thinking that's what was wrong. Nothing has worked. I can view just fine using Windows Media Player so I'm not sure why I can no longer burn using this program......

Following some of your threads and digging more, I have now conquered my problem. The issue was USB wireless interface would not work after waking from S3. I was able to restore functionality by disabling the device and re-enabling (key part of diagnosis). That was a pain, and certainly not something I want to tolerate over time.
This problem is nicely discussed A USB device may no longer work correctly after Windows Vista resumes from sleep or from hibernation I know MS gets blamed for lots of PC issues which sometimes are BIOS, 3rd party drivers, and unresolved PC architecture issues. This work around forces an HCI reset after sleep/hibernation, much like how removing and replacing a notebook to a docking station would do. I expect this will evolve over time with more use of S3. New drivers, hotfixes, maybe BIOS... but for now this brute force workaround works and makes total sense.

If I hover the mouse over the networking icon in the system tray on Vista computers on my FiOS network, it sometimes says "Local Only." Networking and Sharing Center shows a red X between the router and the Internet. Restarting usually shows them as properly connected to the Internet. Eventually, though (usually about 30 minutes to hours later), it will lose that and revert to Local Only. Diangnose and Repair doesn't change anything. In fact, Windows usually reports back, "Windows did not find any problems with your Internet connection." Sometimes it says that TCP settings are incompatible. I let it change them, but the Local Only problem is still there and a subsequent Diagnose and Repair then always gives the same "Windows did not find any problems..." report.
Some of those machines are laptops. I never have this problem when I bring those laptops to other networks (office wired or Wi-Fi, airport Wi-Fi, etc.). This seems to be limited to my home FiOS network. Note that as far as I can tell from using the system, it does have Internet access. Web browsing, e-mail, GoToMyPC, VPN, all seem to work fine. My main concern is that this "Local Only" report is a symptom of something more serious. If it's just a known bug in the Vista system to determine if it has Internet access, I guess I could ignore it. Is this a universal problem with FiOS? I see a lot of people seem to have issues with the Actiontec router.

Is it plausible to disable parts of UAC? this because I hate the parts -blocked startupprograms (in dutch geblokkeerde opstartprogramma's) -'are you sure you want to proceed'-messages (weet u zeker dat u hiermee door wilt gaan) , but the other parts are very usefull. so is it plausible to disable these parts? the only thing I know is how to disable the whole UAC.

I have read in previous posts that the USB parts are not available in a VM. I am wanting to run XP in a VM on a Vista computer, but I have a USB keyboard and mouse. If I understand the previous posts, I will not be able to access these devices. Is this true? If so, is there a way to work around this (besides having two KB's and mice)? What I want to accomplish is to be able to utilize XP and Vista on the same machine. From what I have read in previous posts, it seems that a VM is a better solution than a dual boot. I am just looking for a way to run older apps on my Vista machine (Office Pro XP, Office Pro '97, and some old games from the as far back as the W98 days [and yes all software is legit]). So far I have been able to run all the W2K apps that I want, but I am just starting to move from W2K to Vista (Basic and Home Premium [two different computers]), and I foresee some problems in my future. BTW, I am able to run the old W98 apps/games on W2K by using the Compatibility tool.

I have purchased a new PC with Windows Vista Home Premium installed by manufacturer. However, I want to uninstall Windows, format disk, and install it again by myself. Because the manufacturer did not partitioned the disk to parts. I want to partition it to 3 volumes. The point I want to ask is whether I can use the same license key again after reinstallation. Will not it lose its availibility, will it?

I have a compaq presario desktop that I am trying to connect to a dlink wireless system. I have tried trendnet, linksys, and now Dlink usb wireless adapters but none will connect. They show up in the device manager as fine and dandy but will not enable. I am now trying the dlink WUA 1340 and downloaded the drivers from the dlink website.
I have also did a netsh wlan show settings and it says the autoconfig is disabled. Not sure if it should be enabled and have yet to find out how to enable it on this desktop. I have already tried the to do set autoconfig enabled=yes interface="?" as per technet instructions but just says wlansvc is not running. I am very frustrated and have had to drag the dlink router and dsl to telus to my computer so I can hook up by ethernet.
I have ran the gammut on this as I have even went through all the usb plugs and all are working and detect the wireless device. I have removed everything a few times and reinstalled without the dlink software etc. etc. etc.

My thinkpad laptop runs Windows Vista. the wireless worked ok before I install Vista SP1. After installing SP1, I only can actually view my wireless connections, I see everything, but upon connecting I get the "Connection is taking longer than usual" crap. I reinstalled the drivers, but no go. When Vista does the diagnostics, it says "The network adapter 'wireless network connection' is not correctly configured to use the IP protocol'". Then, there are two options below. 1 is about hardware and driver issues, the other is about the internet protocol bindings and IPv4 and Ipv6 being installed (which they are).

I bought a Netgear wireless router today so I can hook up multiple computers in my home. Problem is that when I hook everything according to the -schematics it does not go as planned. I have a verizon dsl modem and before I hook up my router everything works (internet). But when I connect my router I cannot get a connection at all. Also after I disconnected the router and connect just the dsl modem the way it was before I cannot get a connection either. I tried reseting the dsl box and I unhooked all the phone cords and ethernet cords and restarted the computer and it is still a no go. I am so confused I cannot understand it.

Hey guys ive got a Netgear USB wireless adaptor its the WN111. Theres 64 bit drivers for it but I believe they are beta drivers and the card has proven to be unreliable. It constantly disconnects and I get a connection probably 50% of the time.

1.) I've been (since I got the custom-built PC about a year ago) been using a wireless keyboard; the adapter is USB-connectable. All USB ports respond if/when I attach a device.
2.) I don't know the name of the "port," but where you'd normally plug-in any keyboard (6-pins, 1 square center pin, almost circle-shaped plug), I get no response.
3.) I tried plugging-in a wired keyboard that I borrowed from a friend. I even bought a new Microsoft keyboard, thinking the borrowed one was damaged. I'm positive at this point it's system/hardware-related.
4.) When I go into Device Manager and even view hidden devices, none of the drivers have that warning sign (yellow triangle + a "!" sign) by them. This indicates, to me at least, all my drivers are intact.

I have had no trouble instaling it in the past. But all of a sudden one day I chose to freshly install vista. So using the standard installation procedures and when I went to install my netgear usb wireless adapter Which used to work failed to install. I thought it was the adapter so I upgraded to a very nice d-link usb adapter...and that too failed to install. So I installed a fresh copy of so on he same drive and reformatted it and that worked just fine.
So I tried reinstalling vista and of course it didn't work. So now I'm really confused and typing this on the only available Internet device which happens to be an iPod touch LOL. Does anyone have an idea as to what is going wrong? Btw I have an oem copy of vista ultimate x64 pre sp1. The netgear adapter was the wusb111 and the d-link adapter is the dwa 160.

Have high speed internet. Have a 3gbsdram. And I have a router that is a g. Would I benefit as far as computer speed on the net with a router that is an n router. Also even though the computer says 802.11 a/g/n wireless I still would have to buy the the adapter that goes into the notebook? I know nothing about routers and the fact we have a g router it doesn't have an adapter needed for the computer to work. Was wondering if that is the same case with a wireless n router?

Just got a nice wireless keyboard and mouse. Problem is, when the machine is rebooted, these devices dont work anymore. I have to unplug the USB cable of the remote sensing unit, and plug it back in to get the devices to work. Needless to say, this is a pain. This is a Micro Innovations wireless keyboard and mouse, and Im using the latest Vista drivers (according to them).

I am trying to get the Fingerprint Reader to work, but no luck! When I start the "Fingerprint registration wizard', I get the following message: "Error Invalid class string. Suspect installation problem." I have un-installed, re-installed at least 10times. no luck. I got the newest software from MicroSoft, DPPM_201_ENG.exe. (it says: VISTA Compatible).Mouse works just fine. I googled for an answer, I found the same problem that others also have, but nobody had an answer. I installed also under Windows XP, there it works perfectly with the same installation software. Checked at the MS-knowledge base, fix recommendations are more than 2 years old, tried it anyway, still no luck. Changed USB ports, ran it as Windows XP compatible, tried really everything, I am really at a loss. Hopefully someone out there has/had the same problem and got it working? After 2 days of trying I'm really getting..., well you know what I mean!

I have downloaded the cisco vpn client v 5.0.03.0390. I have a secondary internet connection at work which is wireless. When my laptop saw this connection it came up with a pop up that asked me if i wanted to connect, i did then it asked me if this was a work, home or public connection i labeled it as work. I have been testing on this work wireless connection and ran the cisco VPN client and it was able to
connect.
Now i got home and the same wireless configuration pop up came on, i setup my home wireless and it again asked me if it was a work, home or public connection i choose home. Also, i have WEP running on my home network. My cisco VPN client keeps coming back with the following error: "Secure VPN connection terminated locally by the client. Reason 412: The remote peer is no longer responding"........

I have a microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse which work really well but when I reboot, the keyboard shortcuts that I have programmed don't work until I go into properties and click on them and then click ok. The keys then work ok until I reboot again.Is there any way that I can programme the changes so they are the default programmes whenever I reboot. The software loaded fine and I clicked on apply and save when I originally set the keys.....I have a HP Pavilion DV6700 Laptop with windows visa home premium which is about one month old.
