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?

This did not happen when I installed Vista x86 or XP x86, x64. Other machine running these OSes have no connection problem. What could be wrong with the Vista x64?

View 9 Replies View Related3 PC's (Windows XP Home, Windows XP Pro and Vista Home Premium The two XP's work flawlwssly with simple file sharing and printer sharing - the Vista has a problem. All I care about having work, for now, is simple file sharing with no user restrictions and printer sharing.All Workgroups are the same. The two XP's use Zone Alarm The Vista uses the built-in Microsoft firewall Some login Usernames are different on the three machines. The router is a Linksys WRT160N
Situation: The XP's are fine. The Vista shows the networking map OK (I think). The reason I say I think is that, under the router icon is a switch icon. I have no switch that I know of. At least the Vista machine recognizes that there are three machines in the network. Internet works fine on all three machines. However, in Explorer, under Network, on the Vista machine, only the Vista machine shows up with its' shared folders.
Well i know i viewed my belkin routers settings before in Vx64 via the IExplorer. But i cant remember how... and i think it requires a firmware update.

However, when I want to share files between them, despite proceeding all the steps outlined in the following link, the desktop still cannot see the laptop yet the laptop can see and access the desktop shared folders.

Install went fine. I installed Vista 64 Business on a new HD today and changed nothing else as above. I cannot connect to the Internet at all through my router. When I bypass the router and plug in directly, I can connect without issues. This (for obvious reasons) will not work.

View 5 Replies View Relatedlast week virgin media installed TV, Phone and BB. since then, my sons desktop windows vista will not connect to the internet and has local only connection via a Belkin adapter. The adapter has found the router but will not connect. Previous supplier, tiscali. A friend has tried to change the IP address, and still nothing. We have tried to uninstall Norton security, but the machine seems to want to hold onto it, and will not fully uninstall. I have another desktop, which is plugged into the router and that works fine. My laptop which is also Windows Vista, has connected perfectly well. I am seriously pulling my hair out as what to do next. bearing in mind i can navigate a computer but not very technical.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI posted this message to forum sometime back have been using Vista home edition on a Toshiba laptop for almost 6 months now without any issues when suddenly since last couple of weeks I am having networking problems. Suddenly in the middle of work the connection would be lost. I am using wireless adapter. So I investigated the issue but could not find anything conclusive. When this happens I am unable to ping my router. Initially I suspected my cable modem / router but that is fine beceuase I have another laptop that works fine when this happens.
I now suspect that it is to do with a problem for which a hotfix is available. Unfortunatley when I filled out the form I received an email from MS support that the hotfix is not available!!! Not sure where to go from here. Why write a KB article with a dangling carrot when it leads to a dead end :-)
We are using Netgear Router in most offices in Northern California offices. Most are Net gear router modele MR814 & WGR614, 4 wired ports and 1 wireless port; and WG311 wireless adapters. Is there anyway to monitor the router activity? Anyway to see which port (wired and wireless) is active and network traffic. Also, want to make sure nobody outside our approved users is using the wireless ports? We know about the router log in the router set up page (from all ports, all mixed), howing what URL is contacted and time stamped.
View 9 Replies View RelatedOk, my friend asked me a few days ago to help him fix his router. Its a Belkin N1.
It keeps knocking of at random times every few minutes. I have tried everything I know to solve the problem but nothing seems to work. He can connect to his neighbours internet and it stays connected but when he connects to his own it goes offline after a few mins.
how a router can be incompatible with Vista? Surely a router is platform independant as it is merley directing network traffic?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI live in a congested area. On one glorious morning my fiddling around with the wifi card allowed me to discover that I was able to access a 54g Wifi (lynksys) Internet connection. My experience with high speed was null so you could imagine my delight. Prior to this I was using "Netzero" which is like being homeless. My Question is- How can I look up the physical Router address that is providing me access? Its important to me because I could be sniped off easily for many reasons and to share the cost with a good neighbor is the moral thing to do. One exception is, if it???s the Hotel near-by.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am having problems getting a wireless internet connection for a friend who has just bought a new laptop with Windows Vista. He connects through a Netgear, wireless router however the network connection on the laptop shows as local connection ok however there is limited access due to no internet connection. The adapter has a router assigned IP address of 192.168.0.3. The gateway, DNS server and DHCP server address all show the 192.168.0.1. I have connected to the admin console on the router and the router has been assigned a public address and DNS address from the ISP (AOL ADSL).
I disabled encryption and mac authentication incase for some reason this would be causing it but its still the same. He has a desktop PC hard wired to the router and this connects without any problems. The IPConfig of the adapter is much the same as the wireless adapter on the laptop with exception of the IP address which is 192.168.0.2. I can get a connection to the internet if I hard wire the laptop however when connecting wireless it once again gets a local intranet connection but no internet. I can ping the local network and the gateway but nothing beyond the gateway.
I have done the usual things in the way of power cycling the router/modem and disabling/repairing network connections etc. I recall having the same problem around 2 months ago for another friend. They were using a cable modem with an Actiontec router. I did as I did above and even tried 2 different routers with no change. My XP laptop connects fine.
Got a new laptop and trying to get it wireless with a belkin router, when i go to network and sharing i can see the wireless icon there but it is not conneted. how do i do this? Tried everything and i am about to crack up. Friend reckons you must be conected with wires on one computer before you can connect wireless for other computers (laptops). I only got one laptop which i want wireless is this ok.
View 5 Replies View Relatedtrying to configure the network settings by adding a second static IP address, so that it can see with the other pc's in the network. The network infrastructure is set up as the following: there is a DSL router in bridge mode, so all pc's connected to the network have a direct connection to the internet, and get their ip address from the ISP's DHCP server. Also the other pc's (with XP and linux) have a secondary IP address set up e.g. 192.168.1.10 so they can access a NAS also hooked up to the network, but not connected to the internet.

For some reason though, Vista won't recognize my router connection anymore. I have a LinksysWRT140EN router hooked up, but neither the Linksys installation CD or Vista will recognize the broadband connection.
View 8 Replies View RelatedNo 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 the most basic of basic Netgear wireless routers (WGR614), yet I still can't set this dang thing up! I am trying to set up two computers that are literally side by side. I go through the set up, it acknowledges the internet connection, then it asks for the login/password for my connection. I don't have one via my provider ("Qwest) as I simply ran through their install disk and it's ready to roll, no sign in, etc.
I've read quite a bit about this, so I thought maybe it wasn't directed at my providers sign in, and instaed used the general sign in 'admin' and 'password' that work on virtually all Netgear units. No go. I also tried the login of '1234', which is used for older routers (which this is not), but that didn't work either. I am obviously using wires, as there is no need to go wireless. What am I doing wrong? All my wiring is correct.
I recently got a sony vaio laptop installed vista and my wireless router will not work. I had no problems using it when I had my previous laptop, a HP with windows XP. When i try to connect to the router I am trying to install I get a message saying the computer cannot find any connection and to try again, I can assure I have done all the steps correctly. I also tried to connect to other wireless connections in my area as a test because i can't i get a message saying cannot connect. (and I have checked that the WLAN is on everytime).
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a Belkin wireless-N router. I have 3 computers hardwired, and 3 computers that are wireless with a passphase. My new Vista computer is finding my network, but when I ask to connect I receive an "Enter Credetials" window asking for a User name, Password, and Logon Domain. Never saw this with XP. What do I need to enter, or what do I need to do to bypass this window?!

View 4 Replies View Relatedhere is the setup, I have a Laptop with a wired 10/100/100 jack and a wireless card built in A/B/G. I have a wireless router at home that does B/G, I connect to it at G. The wireless router also has 5 10/100 ports on the back. From the wireless router I go into a cable modem, pretty standard setup so far, here is where gets fun. I have the option of "bundling" my download speeds and upload speeds with the installation of a 2nd cable modem. What I am unsure opf is how exactle this setup would work. Going to attach a pic and see what you all have in the way of advice: Basically, the 2 connections from the cable modems are 15down and 2up each, my cable company will allow me to combine the connections (they will set it up on their end) so I have 30down 4up, what I dont know is how top do it on MY end. I am attaching a word doc with a drawing to explain better. I am running Vista64 Ultimate w/sp1
View 4 Replies View Relatedmy netgear router dg834g will not portforward, i am new too this so its probably an easy mistake where i am going wrong.
ive tried following the insructions by finding my router on portforward.com and going through those steps, and it didnt seem too work so i started too look for more detailed guides on the internet.
i came across this Internet video Internet - port forwarding on the dg834g and did everything it said once id completed the steps i went too canyouseeme.org too test my port and it was closed.
error: i could not see your service on xx.x.xx.xx on port (43594)
reason: connection timed out that is what canyouseeme.org told me.
id also like too add i think my problem may lie with my laptop not being directly connected too the router, would this change any steps in the Internet video above?
we have a netgear wireless router and vista is NOT recognizing it! i've called netgear and they've said that the problem is w/ dell and these dell idiots wanna charge me $200! so i figured i would ask here
View 9 Replies View RelatedI 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.
