I know this is far less related to Windows 7 issues (completely unrelated :P), and more related to hardware and such, but anyway. I am on an absolutely pathetic internet connection of 20gb a month (Internet in New Zealand was monopolised by Telecom, and the industry went nowhere for years, our speeds are stupid and the prices would be considered unacceptable in many countries). Me and a friend do a lot of data sharing, and he also hosts a minecraft server, which uses a lot of internet. Luckily for me, he moved in 4 houses down from me. Our solution was going to be for me to connect to his wifi connection from my house, and just to be safe, from his end I would be restricted to his Lan network, but not internet data :P.However after fruitless attempts to make a home made yagi antenna from everything from a fly cover for a large dish to a kitchen wok, nothing worked and we ran short of ideas. Does anyone know of a cheap way we could accomplish this? We could buy a yagi antenna (for those of you that don't know thats like long range wifi antenna
I have both of these things and my recent internet still come up on my laptop, how can i connect or use my router to get wifi, need this for work asap.
Generally once or twice a day, my computer will suddenly drop its internet connection.It will then start an endless loop of trying to connect: Sensing the network is there Trying to connect (With the loading symbol and "Initializing")Appearing to connect successfully (but when I try an open a web page, nothing loads, and I receive an error message telling me there's no connection)A few seconds later, the yellow triangular warning sign appears next to the wireless bar.A few seconds after that, it drops the connection, and then starts over at step oneA few seconds later, it will start again at step one.The only way I am able to get the network back on is to: Disconnect manually (press "disconnect")Turn of my wireless antenna on my computer Turn on and off my router Turn back on the antenna Reconnect.I have to do these 5 steps every time it disconnects.This is only happening on this one computer - other computers on the network aren't experiencing the problem (running XP and Win 7).I have an Asus U56E-BAL7.
i have a samsung galaxy ace. my laptop is accessing internet through wifi from my friend's building. So can i access internet in my samsung galaxy through wifi from my laptop? if yes..how?
I heard that Powerline networking only works within the same "circuit".What exactly determines what a "circuit" is?,Would this work across floors of a multifamily house where the electric metering is different across them?
with a not connecting to the internet situation over wifi. and i told her to use (netsh int reset c:\reset.txt) in the command prompt to reset her IP configuration.well its been about 2hrs since and now her computer is not getting past the Windows Starting screen. Did somthing go wrong with the re configuration?
I have wifi connection of one service provider and Lan Connection of another service provider... Can i use both connection simultaneously on my laptop? having window 7. They both have automatic configuration of IPs
I am trying to set up a workgroup between two Windows 7 Pro computers over a wifi connection. I have set the workgroup name to be identical on both machines (Lastname-Home), but neither machine can see the other. Network discovery and sharing are turned on. From my googleing and forum searching (here and on other forums) all I can find is people saying that if the workgroup names match you should be able to see the PCs.
I've tried to set up a Wi-Fi connection to use for Nintendo DS/3DS, but nothing seems to work. I don't have a wireless internet connection, so I bought the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector, but that does not work with Windows 7... I've also tried another Wi-Fi USB device, but that doesn't seem to work either. I guess I should get a wireless router that allows Wi-Fi connection, but which would actually work for Nintendo DS/3DS?
i'm getting annoyed with my sister because she uses too much bandwidth on her laptop than i can get, he uses facebook, twitter, Internet, and utorrent at the same time and i'm only using Internet, visiting forums and playing games. how do i slow down the wifi speed so i can make her internet usage more pain in the ass?
i have a wifi connection without any protection. now these days i cannot work on it. it tells me that,there is not any access on internet. earlier i could work on it. but the line is always without any protection.
I just upgraded to the beta version of Windows 7 form Vista. I am now (unable) to print off of our local network via wi-fi. I am fairly computer literate, I have tried everything. The internet works fine with my Belkin N+ router...but I cannot print via wi-fi thru my hard lined computer, the one with (Windows 7). Can anyone please help? All 3 of my wi-fi computers have Windows XP on them.
i tried to connect to my school wifi and then it shows a yellow triangle over it and , it said no internet acces but i can connect to my house wifi only i have tried to connect to others... and it have a yellow triangle over it .
Until yesterday morning I had a good wifi signal. We are in France and run on Nordnet Satellite Internet.However, now I have an exclamation mark on signal bar and no internet access. We are on Nordnet Satellite and I am running WIndows 7 on a Sony Vaio laptop.It is not the router as my husband's laptop is working fine with no connection problems. I can connect to internet by using cable but not wifi which is very inconvenient as I have to keep bringing the computer downstairs.Have done diagnostic check and error is: Windows cannot connect with the device or resource (primary DNS server)Computer also trying to connect by cellular profile (which is the O2 dongle that I use when I go to the UK). I keep getting the O2 box up asking me if I want to connect which it did (without the dongle inserted) but although it will bring up Google it won't connect to anything.I'm not very technical but have done the obvious things like system restore and checking the adaptor settings in Network and Sharing but just can't figure out what the problem is. If I try to set up a new connection it just keeps referring back to the cellular profile which is presumably for O2?
Running Windows 7 Home Premium on a netbook. Since yesterday get message "Windows cannot connect to wifi". Running checks suggests resetting the router, but two other devices, an IPad and an almost identical netbook are connected no problem. I havn't changed anything. It can see the router. Done normal reboots, disconnect reuse connect adapter etc. no luck. This has happened before on two other computers on different routers, and we don't know what eventually fixed it, although changing the encryption method might have solved one of them, even though that computer had been connecting for weeks before the failure. The only one of our family devices never to have experienced this is the IPad.
This is the net book I upgraded to windows 7 ultimate 32-bit. Asus Eee PC 900HD - ProductWiki unbiased product reviewsIt shows available networks, but when I try to connect it says "windows was unable to connect to network". I tried using Windows network diagnostics to try and fix it, but it didn't work. I also tried resetting my router and removing the password from my network, but those didn't work either.
I connect to my home wifi and it says connected, but there is no internet connection.I noticed that network adapter shows "wireless network connection 2" with that "2" at the end of name. I guess there is a problem. If I rename it to just "wireless network connection" it says it already exists. But cannot see it, and use it! Can anyone tell me how to reset it or somehow switch to "wireless network connection" without "2"?
Also when I type ipconfig/all I get this:
------------------ C:Usersuser>ipconfig/all Windows IP Configuration Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : user-PC
On my new Lenovo V570, I've been having an issue where it takes anywhere from 30 seconds to 3 minutes to connect to my local network.It will show all the available networks in the list, and either if I wait, or if I try to click my automatic network and click "connect", it still takes a large chunk of time.This happens on all of my saved connections, as well as any public connections I try to access.I believe my wireless is run through Intel My Wi-fi, though for some reason the icon is no longer in my icon tray.
On these occasions, while watching Hulu on my HTPC, which only connects via WiFi on my Router (Cisco E3000), the movies were interrupted by a loss of connection, indicated by the white tray icon turning orange, and when expanding it's menu, the connection bearing the name of my network had disappeared.On the first failure, the flashing light on the network adapter (Belkin F5D8055) continued flashing as usual, but the steady light was out, until pressing the connection button. The second time around, both light remained lit as normal, but in both instances my network connection on the network adapter's tray icon had disappeared. Using the WiFi's network adapter's connection button, and the router's PBC button didn't solve the problem, nor anything else that I tried.Since the WiFI connection is primarily for internet access, rather than connecting computers, and that shutting off my desktop doesn't usually effect the HTPC's internet connection, it seems obvious that the connection is managed by just the router, adapter and HTPC, so I fail to understand the relationship between the vanishing network and the loss of internet connection.When these failures occurred, they only lasted for ~ 10-15 minutes, and then were restored on their own, with no more apparent reason than the outage had. So far, this is only an annoyance, but I fear that it is an omen of greater problems on the horizon, and I have no idea of how to isolate the origin of the problem..
I connect with a broadband dongle. Sometimes it's disconnecting me after a couple of minutes - other times I'm OK for a couple of hours. No problem getting back on-line - only takes a minute, but it's damned annoying.I contacted the ISP (Indian call centre) and they were of no help. Said they could see the frequent disconnections but that there was no breaks in their service.
I just got a new laptop with Windows 7. Initial set-up went fine but I cannot connect to router. I have a MAC using the wi-fi and I can also connect an iPhone, a Linux, and another Acer laptop using Windows 7...but the new laptop is not working. My connection is showing on the menu but once I enter the security key, I get a message saying it cannot connect.I restarted the router, went over the whole router set-up again, connected the Ethernet cable to the laptop while trying to set-up the wi-fi, but after numerous trials, nothing worked.
I am using HCL ME 74 series laptop with win 7 OS 32 bit. recently my OS crashed and I reinstalled the OS. surprisingly there are no netwrok controllers in my device anager. the network adpters give by HCL have been used. But the system is detecting the wifi networks all around but not connecting. The HCL ME series gives some funny buttons to press: set wifi enable -> Fn+F11, and bluetooth -> fn+F12 . both are enables.
My computer is connected using wifi to my access point. It connects fine,automatically at startup. But I would like to duplicate the network connection to be able to connect sometimes to the same access point with same parameters BUT the gateway.s this possible to duplicate the connections in order to be able to connect automatically at startup with gateway 192.168.0.1 and sometimes to connect to my access point with gateway 192.168.0.10 ?Ideally, I would like to duplicate my wifi profile in Control Panel > Network and Internet > Manage Wireless Networks but here I cannot change the route settings of one profile without changing it for all profiles.Is there a solution
For some reason my laptop will not remain connected to my wifi. The other computers on the network are running just fine. The laptop in question is one I recently received from a friend who had no problems like this. I have been browsing various forums for quite some time, and have been unable to fix the problem. Running Windows 7 on an ASUS machine, the router is a Linksys RangePlus.
Since I installed Windows 7 on my PC I have this issue. I use a WiFi USB key (D-Link DWL-G132 A3) to connect my computer to internet.
With Windows XP all were working good, but now with Windows 7 after 30/60/xxxx minutes I'm connected i get "limited access - no internet connection". Windows recognized a DNS error, but it was unable to slove it. I'm solving this problem unplugging the WiFi key for 1 minute, and then re-plugging it. Doing this, the connection returns fine for another 30/60/90/xxxx minutes.
(I'm actually trying the connection with IPv6 disabled and using only IPv4)
I have ADSL connection, i use WiFi enable adsl router (ZTE ZXV10 W300) for share that connection internet connection with my home other devices. My ADSL internet connection not disconnect but my WiFi connection drop most of the time.
But I encounter a problem while connecting to the host (My desktop)
It's like, you can't connect after you reset your connection or something, and it says "No Internet Access", and you can only connect just when your PC were freshly restart. IF you hand slipped and clicked the disconnect, you cannot connect just after you restart the PC again.
i am using a USB modem for networking, but i want to connect my cell to the internet using this modem via WiFi. How can i setup up a WiFi connection in my house using this USB modem?
