View 5 RepliesI have this new Gateway all-in-One machine that has built-in wireless and the standard Ethernet connection capabilities. I have an Ethernet cable connected and would like to know:
- How exactly, do I tell how I am connected to the internet (Via Ethernet or via wireless)? I click the connection icon and does not specify exactly how I am connected to the internet, Only that I am connected...
i have a netgear wireless router, one desktop pc connected to it with a Ethernet cable (still working fine) and a hp laptop running vista connected thought wireless everything was working fine until one day the wireless on the laptop just stopped working and gave the message connected with limited access i have disconnected from the network and tried to reconnect however all i get is connection unsuccessful then i go to diagnose the problem and have been given some suggestions by windows help i have checked my driver and they are all up to date i have also checked that both ipv4 and ipv6 protocols are ticked in the config for wireless networking, my adapter says working fine and i have checked that my WEP keys are still the same.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI upgraded my Vista Home Premium x64 to SP2 on 8/28. No problem until 8/31. Now I cannot get on the internet regardless of firefox, IE, or Chrome. The Windows Network Diagnostics did not find any problems. The network and Sharing center shows that I am connected to my network and then to the internet with no issues. IPv4 = Internet. IPv6 = limited.
Steps completed thus far:I rebooted the cable modem and the router (linksys wrt54g) I successfully pinged the x64 computer with a different cpu on the network. Status activity shows bytes sent and received successfully on the x64 system. I tried to system restore prior to SP2 upgrade but says failed, however System properties show that running SP1. I updated network card driver (intel 82567lf-2) to most recent - 7/23 I ran the Intel network card diagnostics and all test were sucessful Booted into safe mode with networking. Unsuccessful. Ran Hijackthis, nothing unusual. I am at a loss of what to do. I do even know how to describe the situation succinctly enough to search and see if others have had the same problem.
Running Vista64 on HP pavillion. Wireless connects great after gigaset se567 is rebooted. But if I logoff or reboot my computer, I can no longer connect until I reboot the router again. Happens if wireless is lost as well. Is an autoconnection to a non-broadcast SSID. if I manually disconnect and wait a min I can manually reconnect. Have done an ipcongif /all at one point and it showed all proper IP's etc, but I could not connect to any websites. Local access only.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI've just recently encountered a problem connecting to the internet with my notebook and when I check to see what was wrong my computer says I'm not connected to any networks. So when I try to connect my computer doesn't show my wireless network it says a cable is not plugged into the network adapter 'local area connection". However everything is plugged in and my mom's notebook has no problem. Also it says that my computer doesn't have a wireless adapter installed and configured but it does and when I go to the properties it says the device is working properly. I don't know what to do anymore. I've restarted my computer and unplugged and replugged the cable and disabled and enabled the adapter.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI went home for the Christmas break and I am trying to get my laptop to connect to the network back at my house. I set up a wireless network through the main computer and have found nothing but problems. The main computer is running XP and I am running Vista. Now, the problem is my computer will detect there is a wireless network available but it will not connect. It let me enter in a password to connect but it tells me there isn't enough strength to connect. This makes no sense due to the fact that it will display 90% network strength.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm re-posting this because it is only visible online at the MS website, not on NewsReaders so.... (I'll try again)...I just installed a D-Link DIR-625 router, before, we had a Linksys router with no issues whatsoever. (This is in secure WPA mode, there is no problem in "unsecure" mode) My sons PC has Vista installed. He has a D-Link wireless usb adaptor. Before, with the Linksys router, hookup was as would be expected, find the SSID, click, a prompt for passphrase, sweet. Now what happens is this... I right click the network icon in the taskbar and select "Connect to a network" a list of available networks shows.( as usual) I click our SSID and a different message appears than before, instead of getting the usual prompt for a simple passphrase, I get a "Windows needs more credentials to connect to this network", I click it and then a window appears prompting for...
Username
Password
Domain pass
this is not an option suitable for the usual WPA Personal encryption, first off there is no user name, no domain, its just WPA personal, TKIP,passphrase... what can I do? like I said it connects fine if no encryption is used. and it worked fine Lo these last 2 years with a Linksys WRT54G I'm not very familiar with Vista, I'm an XP man myself (I and my wife have XP, router installed on mine)(My wife has windows XP with a Linksys adaptor and it works fine so I know it is a Vista conflict)
I've got a problem with my wireless network, I've got a dlink adsl2+ router 604gt or something (not at home ATM) it was working fine last night not a problem at all, had dinner then went back to the Internet and it wouldn't work page could not be displayed etc, logged into modem all is good it's got internet acces and working fine. So I left it for the night and this morning I tried again and windows can't seem to get an ip address from the router it comes up with the 169.254 etc etc takes agesbto identify the network and then finally displays limited connectivity. Tried manual settings to no avail, tried restarting both computers and still doesn't work, I just don't know what could have changed in the 45min that I was away from it. modem still registers inter access and looks to be I'm full working order just the computers have a coniption when trying to be friends with it.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI just setup a wireless USB adapter on my sister's PC. It worked fine, until she rebooted. Now she can't get on the internet. The wireless signal is excellent at 100%, but browsers aren't connecting. I looked in Network Connections, and there's 4 networks. 1394 Connections 1-3. Connections 1 & 2 are doing nothing, but 3 is the one showing the wireless connection (and it looks to be working fine). The fourth network is Local Area Connection, which is doing nothing. What can I do to fix this?
View 6 Replies View Relatedi am trying to make a wireless connection from my sony vaio laptop, running vista business, to a printer (canon pixma ip4300) connected via usb to the print server of my wireless router (siemens gigaset SE551). i installed the printer as a 'local' printer on a tcp/ip address, as per the router manual - admittedly, the manual instructions were for winxp.
the problem: the printer comes up in vista as 'offline', cannot be changed to online, and won't print. documents appear in the print queue but do not print out - only sometimes when i restart the computer, the printer prints out a page or two of whatever the last failed job was. the same wireless setup with my old sony xp pro laptop works perfectly, and the printer works when connected to the vista laptop directly via usb cable, so the problem must be vista... i've turned off win defender and win firewall to no avail.
should i install the printer as a network printer? i have tried this but windows couldn't see the printer - it could see the router, but not the printer connected to it. but i've never setup a networked printer before so maybe there is something simple i'm missing.
I've got a friends laptop to repair. I've determined that at least the boot files are damaged. I've connected the hard drive to my own PC in an attempt to recover the files from the drive. Unfortunately, my PC says that access is denied when I try to browse the drive. In the disk manager I can see the drive. I've gone onto the drive and updated the permissions on all the files to allow full access for administrators and users, yet I still cannot access the drive. I know that the content of the drive is still there because I COULD see the filenames zipping on the screen while the system was updating permissions. (That shouldn't work if I don't have permission, should it?) If I boot from an installation CD and try to access the drive from a recovery console it asks for the password for that Windows installation. I enter the only password that is on the laptop, but it does not work. There is only one user on the laptop, so that SHOULD be the password.

View 5 Replies View RelatedDell laptop Inspiron 1545, WRT54GS - "Connected With Limited Access" - drove me up the wall. Tried everything. Browsed other forums for hours. What did I do? Just for grins, and for NO particular reason, I switched from WEP to WPA Personal / TKIP in the router and to WPA / TKIP in the laptop and other PC, entered the ten-char key I've always used, and POOF - instant connection.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have my wife's and my own desktops (both XP Home) and my laptop (Vista Home Premium) all connected to the same ADSL modem. I want to set permissions so that I can access and do what I want with any file on any machine from any other machine.
On the XP machines this was a breeze. I can access either machine from any other machine and do whatever I want. But on the Vista machine, I'm prevented from doing this. The only files on the Vista machine that I can access from the XP machines are in the "Public" folder. I can't access the Vista machine's root menu or even the files in my own folder from the XP machines. When I try, I get this complaint:
You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. Access is denied. "T-pc" is the name of the name of the laptop in the "Workgroup" and "rlb" is my folder. I'm the administrator, so where do I go from here? How do I make Vista let the other machines access my files?
This problem is driving me up a wall. I try to connect, and I get a "Connected with Limited Access" or "Limited Connectivity" error.I have a NETGEAR_WPN284v3 and I'm on Vista.

Nearly brand new PC with nVidia Forceware ethernet controller. After booting the PC, the network ICON in right bottom bar becomes blue. For 1 - 2 seconds the blue bell is visible, then disappears. It shows the PC is connected locally, but not to internet. According to IPCONFIG/all required IP addr, DNS, Default GW etc is set

The machine has two NICs, both of which are connected to the Internet in the following fashion:

The linux cluster is consisted of some RedHat workstations, all of which are connected to the internet independently, but one of them (the frontend) also distribute IP and does NAT for the LAN. Also connected to the switch include some network resources, and this Vista machine..........
I recently bought a new Dell with Vista Home Premuim and have not been able to connect to any of the six (6) wifi networks I've tried. Two home networks, one at work and three public. On each occasion I have been able to detect and where appropriate, provide security keys, but although it says it's connected it will not go on the internet or do any network activity. I do have a nice cheap Palm TX which connects to all of these networks, so I'm thinking it's a Vista issue. Given I bought a laptop for the explict purpose of using wifi, this is a rather expensive rock which is pretty much useless. Seems like lots of people have the same problems, but haven't yet found any solutions. What a surprise from Microsoft, eh?

I have 2 other computers in my home with Windows XP, a pc and a toshiba laptop and have always had good consistent internet through the router with both of them. Now with my new vista laptop it shows that I am connected, but I cannot browse the internet at all. It just sits there and thinks and thinks and thinks, like its bogged down or something. I tried to download the Yahoo messenger, and it just sits at 1% and doesnt move. My Outlook (Office 2007) does not work at all. No sending or recieving at all. Is Vista the problem?? Is it my Router that isnt compatible with Vista???

I'm having problems with my home network. I find that I will be on the internet wirelessly with no problems, then all of a sudden I lose internet connection, but I still remain connected to the home network. I have tried disconnecting and re-connecting to the network, this usually doesn't help. Occasionally that will help, but then a couple minutes later, I have the same problem. I have tried running the diagnosis within the Network and Sharing Center. Sometimes it will tell me that it doesn't detect a problem and sometimes it will detect a problem. Then I try to reset the wireless adapter "Wireless Network Connection" and it will appear to have fixed it, and when I try to re-load the page it times out and then I lose internet connection again. The only thing that I have found that fixes the problem is to recycle power to the modem. (Pain in the ass!)
The modem is connected to a desktop computer (I don't remember what it's running, but I know it's a version of XP) and there are multiple laptops within the house that connect to it wirelessly and I'm the only one running Vista and the only one having problems. The modem isn't very old, so I'm not thinking that it's the modem, so because I'm the only one having problems, I'm assuming it's a Vista thing.
WHen i boot my PC with the internet plugged in i get the following message
"Failer to connect to a windows service. windows could not connect to the user profile service. this problem limits users from logging on to the system. Aas an administrative user you can view the system event log for details why the service didnt respond."
this stops my profile loading up and i have to restart with the internet unplugged for my computer to load the profile.
