Wireless Internet Stops
Jan 19, 2010
I recently upgraded my OS from Vista Home to Ultimate (a clean install). It seems as though after I have been using the internet for a while or if I am using too much bandwidth (downloading a few things or have a couple windows open) my wireless stops. I have access to the network - just the actual wireless internet stops. I can't use the diagnose feature by right-clicking as it never has a solution that actually fixes it - I've tried them all. We have several other computers in the house and they don't have problems with it - it also happens when I'm at work as well. When I attach the computer directly to the modem (even while this problem happens) the internet works fine.The only fix is restarting - but that's quite annoying and happening often. I have downloaded the newest drivers for this computer from HP (its a DV9200 CTO pn: EZ345AV) and I can't figure it out.

I am running Vista Home Premium on my laptop. I have a Brother wifi printer (although it connects to the router with a wire). I have 2 desktops and my laptop that use the printer. The two desktops use the printer without a problem. My laptop only works during the period after I add the network printer. When I reboot, it will seem to print to the printer but it just gets stored in the printer queue and won't print it.
Telling the print queue to try again doesn't do anything. If I delete the printer from my laptop and add it again as a new printer, it works great until the next reboot. I have no other printers in my printer list, only the Brother. None of the desktops (one Vista Home Premium, one XP) have this problem.

Everything works just fine on my new Vaio laptop running on Vista home premium, connecting to my wireless network TalkTalk (the router is Echolife HG520s), until the connection stops working but still says I'M CONNECTED PERFECTLY!
I thought it was a typical firewall problem so i tried with disabling Windows firewall and the mcafee security center but nothing seems to work except disabling the network hardware and enabling again.

I have a new Dell computer running Vista Home Premium. My Brother printer prints fine when hooked up via USB. But won't print wirelessly through my router (Airport Express). The computer recognizes the printer wirelessly and has it as "ready." When I send something to print, it starts printing the first few lines and then just stops and won't print the rest. If I try again, nothing happens at all. I have to uninstall and reinstall the printer to get it to do anything. And even then, it won't print more than the first few lines of the document. Had no problems printing wirelessly with this printer and router on my old Dell that ran XP.

If I let my computer sit for roughly 1 hour or more the mouse stops working and I have to restart the computer via the keyboard. I've tried reconnecting from the transceiver and switching the mouse on/off and pressing the reset button. None of these things seem to do the trick.

I have some Dell laptops (d830, d620, d630) that has problems with the wireless networkcard (Intel Wireless 4965 AGN). Very often it stops to function after the computer has been to sleep. The wireless icon still apears in the bottom right corner with a red cross over it. When you click it it says that it's connected with limited access. The wireless card will not apear when you run ipconfig If you disconnect it will not connect successfully again It seems like it manages to find all availble networks, but you can not connect successfully to any of them.
I have tried to install this fix reagardless that I already have SP1, but this won't install. Probley because it has already been applied. Also tried the Regedit workaround mentioned in the KB. I have set the power option to high preformance, but it still happends when the computer is manual set to sleep.

I was just wondering if anyone else had experienced these annoying freezes that occur randomly in Vista 64. It can happen while I'm playing a game, it can happen while I'm browsing firefox etc. I freeze up about 4 times a day and the only solution is a hard restart.
It is beyond me, I have the video card drivers up to snuff, all updates are installed, virus scanners/spyware scanners, video card isn't overheating, CPU idles at 33 loads at 42. I'll describe the problem a little better other than to just say it's freezing. When the freeze occurs, the entire screen stops moving, I cannot move my mouse, all sound stops working, and if there was a sound playing, it will get mutilated into a nasty buzz.

Sony Vaio with Vista is connected wirelessly to a HOME network.
It can access all other computers. Any one of them can access the Interment.This one does not.
At work, this computer CAN access the Internet (while wirelessly connected to the COMPANY network)
Seems to be a "setting" issue?

A Lot of Vista users have trouble connecting to the internet over wireless. The result being a state known as local only where the PC has a connection to the Wlan but no internet. One of many cures to be found on the Internet, which seems to work, is to disable IPv6. How to disable IPv6

I just received my HP laptop with wireless internet, yet I cannot connect to the internet. I am using a linksys wrt54g version 2 router. I already have a number of computers already connected wirelessly to this router with no issues. I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong with this new computer. This is my first computer with Vista, so I'm a bit rusty with the set up.

I am unable to connect to internet using my wireless. I have tried resetting the router and rebooting the laptop. Each time I try connecting to internet the system throws and error " the dependency service or group failed to start". I have tried using vista's diagonse and repair option, but no luck. I have tried restarting the wireless, troubleshooted drives. On doing the ipconfig /renew at the command prompt the following was seen. " No operation can be performed on wireless network connection while it has its media disconnected.No operation can be performed on bluetooth network connection while it has its media disconnected. An error occured while releasing interface loopback pseudo-interface1" On futher diagnoses i have notice that DHCP clinet service is stuck in the "STARTING" state. I am unable to stop and restart it. I have logged using the administrator.

I have been on the phone collectively for 6 hours with AT&T as well as had a technician out here to look at this problem. I have a new wireless router box. The whole At&T system went down briefly (tvs and all). When it booted back up my computer wouldn't recognize the wireless network. After getting a new box, it will now recognize the wireless network in my home. It says I am connected to the network with excellent strength but I still cannot get online. My desktop works fine and I plugged the ethernet cable into my computer and it still won't get online being hardwired to the router. My firewalls are turned off. I have run an ipconfig with the following message:...................

It's the Internet, LAN and wireless. Problem is that after a time period X they just all want to go to "local only mode". Just to mention, I have three Vista laptops, which all are doing the same thing, and my only XP laptop works just fine. So it's pretty much narrowed down to Vista laptops...No matter what Microsoft wants to say.
So what happens? -> I have a private network (wireless is encrypted with WPA/PSK and the password is correct...), it connects allright and the mode is "Local and Internet". After some time, it can be two minutes or one hour, it just suddenly goes to "local only mode" and stays that way.........

32 bit Windows Vista Home and I have McAfee security. This as my sons laptop and he could not get the OS to start up. I done a system restore have since been able to log in. From that point I have tried to connect to the internet with a netgear wireless router WGR614 v6. I can establish a wireless connection, but I am unable to connect to IE. When trying to do so, I get internet explorer cannont display web page.
When I try diagnose connections I get the host may be down and windows found a problem that cannot be repaired automatically. I am running a pc with xp home through the netgear router with an ethernet cable so I know the internet connection is good. I have tried to connect in safe mode. I have done an ipconfig reset and a dns flush. I disabled my windows firewall and still have no luck.

In WinXP Home, I could examine the details of my BT Broadband internet connection (single user with USB connection) as follows: Control Panel > Internet Options > Connections tab. Select a connection from the list. Click "Settings"
I then typed all the settings in a text file. So if I lost a connection, I could manually enter all the settings without needing to insert the BT installation CD. I changed to Vista at the same time that I changed to Orange Broadband (4-user wireless). The connection was set up by CD from one laptop. The other laptop just connected itself by magic, using a LAN cable.

I'm really frustrated with this. I have no idea whats going on. I'll be browsing and my internet will start to slowly die and then cease. and then it becomes like a car without gas. You can let that engine just turn and turn and turn but it's never going to fire. Internet Browses fine > Internet starts to run slow > Internet Stops completely > Icon on task bar still has internet globe on it > repair and diagnose resets network adapter > globe goes away and shows that the network has local access only > stays like that for hours
1. Cant access router
2. Cant access internet browser sites
3. Cant connect through 3rd party applications....

My computer is running Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit, service pack 1. I have a DLink wireless router, model WBR-1310, hardware version B1, firmware version 2.02. The issue I have is my internet connection will randomly go away (the globe will disappear and my network will go local only). This can be while I'm in the middle of doing something online, or sometimes when I get back to the computer from being away for a few hours the connection is gone. I'll have to randomly disconnect/reconnect the connection to the router to reestablish my internet. I've disabled all sleep modes/screen savers/etc. I just want to keep this connection live 24/7. I would like to know if there is any way to fix this so that my connection becomes more stable.

I've just purchased a new PC, running Vista Home Premium, with a built- in PCI Wireless adapter, but am unable to connect to the internet. I have emailed my supplier's technical support, but I don't think the problem is straightforward, nor do I know whether it is a hardware of software issue, so I thought I'd try elsewhere in the meantime.
The symptons are as follows:
I have an old Netgear DG824M wireless router/ADSL modem. I have a laptop running Vista Home Premium. This was able to connect to the router and hence to the internet straight away with virtually no configuration - just entered the WEP key and it all worked. This has recently been upgraded to SP1, and still works okay. I have my old desktop running XP. This has no connection problems. The new PC has an Asus WL-138GE (or 138G V2 - not sure which) PCI adapter. Initially, it was identified as a Broadcom adapter. The new PC had problems right from the start connecting to the router and the internet. Most of the time, it appears to be unable to get a DHCP address. The signal strength is always excellent, and it correctly identifies the router as a Netgear DG824M. When it does manage to connect to the internet, the connection only seems to last a few seconds, or is extremely slow. I cannot connect to the router at all using the new PC. It comes up with the username and password very quickly, accepts that, but then seems to hang loading the home page. I usually give up after about 5 or 10 minutes. When connected, I can ping the router and I can also ping websites, even though I don't seem to be able to connect to them using IE. I have no antivirus running, and the only firewall software is windows firewall
I have tried the following:
Checking DHCP client service running, Disable WEP, Disable Windows Firewall, I upgraded the wireless driver by downloading one from Asus. It now recognises the adapter as an Asus 802.11g Network Adapter (driver c:windowssystem32driversBCMWL664.SyS, Broadcom 4.102.15.56), but this doesn't seem to have made any difference. I deleted the adapter and let it recreate itself. It loaded up the same drivers. I've removed IPv6 ,I've set up the PC with a static IP address (192.168.0.51), set up the router as the gateway, and my ISP's DNS servers as the DNS servers. I added an =93ArpRetryCount=94 DWORD key to the registry as recommended somewhere. I made some further registry changes as recommended by Microsoft KB 928233. I reset TCP/IP and Winsock using netsh as administrator. I tried "netsh interface tcp set global rss=3Ddisabled autotuninglevel=3Ddisabled" None of these changes seem to have made any difference, and I've run out of things to try!

Router is a WRT160N, and my wireless adapter is a WMP600N. The computer with the adapter is having the issues. Linksys Wireless Manager as well as Network Diagnostics claim that I'm connected to the network. But I'm not getting any signal(sometimes, but very inconsistently). There isn't any consistent error message either. Also, whenever it does struggle to somehow connect, only the normal icon in the systray says I'm connected to the internet; wireless manager claims I'm offline 100% of the time. Linksys wireless manager says: "Your adapter has been configured and you are connected to the network. However, Linksys Wireless Manager could not verify your internet connection."
Things I've tried:
Power Cycles
Hard resets
Find INTERNET PROTOCOL (TCP/IP) in the list
Click Properties
Click ADVANCED
Click the DNS tab
Click ADD
Type the IP Address 192.168.1.1....

My Home network setup consists of the following....
In one room. 1 x laptop running XP Home, connected to the internet via
a linksys wireless router, and modem.
In another room, I have this laptop, Acer Aspire, running Vista
Business, and has wireless.
When I connected up my router (given to me by a family member, no
software, just router, and mains adapter), and switched on my Acer
laptop in the other room, I was able to connect to my Linksys Router,
and gain access to the internet without any security whatsoever, no wep
key or anything.
Now i know most people with problems have issues with not being able to
connect to the internet because of a wep key lost or alike.
My issue is, i would like to add security to my network to stop other
people in my building gaining access, or using my connection without my
permission.
I can also connect my mobile phone to my home wireless network, and
again, no wep key is asked for, which is quite worrying.
