I just got a new netbook, and I'm trying to connect to the internet via the lan ethernet cable. When I do, it says "unidentified public network" even though when I turned it on during set up, I specified home net work. Does 7 Starter only support wireless internet, or something?
View 7 RepliesMy netbook and main PCs both have windows 7 64 bit. Both have sharing enabled.Both have the exact same setup in networking. Both are set to home. Both have the right password.I have disabled all firewalls.I have synchronized the clocks.I updated windows.I have enabled and disabled ipv6 and attempted ipv4.Machines have had their homegroups disabled and re-enabled.They have been rebooted numerous times.I have had the propper services enabled.The netbook can see and access files on the PC but even though the PC sees the netbook as a media device, it cannot see it as a computer and cannot see it in the homegroup, thus it cannot access any files.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI need to connect to my wireless network at home I have to be nearby the router, if I try going upstairs I lose connection and network is not recognized anymore.
At first it was a problem with the range of the router but I booted on my Linux distro and on exactly the same physical spot Win7 doesn't recognize anything, I get a 60% availability and everything works perfectly.
I 'm trying to connect my netbook to my wireless home network but it won't recognise the security key. I have Windows 7 32 bit installed. I have successfully connected it to my sister's network which is WPA2 protected, but when I try to connect to my own d-link dsl 2680 router, it keeps telling me that the security key or passphrase is incorrect even though I am typing in exactly the right password. My router is also WPA2 protected but for some reason the netbook fails to connect. My other laptop and my PC have no problem connecting at all though. It's just the netbook that seems to be the problem. It will however connect with a cable and also if I change the router's security setting to WEP. However I don't really want to leave it as WEP as this is less secure than WPA2. I've tried changing the SSID and password but it still won't connect. Before I installed Windows 7 I had XP running on the netbook and then it connected no problem. I don't know why I can connect to my sister's network but not my own.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI just bought a used Acer Aspire One 10.1 netbook and I am having some issues. When I got it the pc needed 17 windows updates done. So I did that but I am not sure all the updates worked properly as the machine shut down but never rebooted after finishing updates. After I turned it back on I tried to connect to the internet through my wireless router (which is working fine for other devices), nothing. So I tried a wired connection, nothing again. The wireless is finding my router it is just not hooking up to the internet. I tried ipconfig/all in the cmd prompt and all it shows is that the media is disconnected??? Does anyone have any ideas as to what is going on? The compute seems to be functioning fine except for the internet
View 7 Replies View Relatedi recieved my new lenovo z570 ideapad yesterday...i'll just put some of the spec down incase you want to know.
proccessor: intel i5 (second gen)
graphics: nvidia geforce
os: windows 7 64bit
yadayadayada...
anyway, after charging it up and turning it on, i started to install programmes and other bits and bobs. e.g ituens, flash player. just the usual essentials. i used the laptop to watch videos on Internet, genenral browing such as facebook, so in short, the internet was working fine. just before i went to bed that night i installed avg security (free version) and ran a full scan. when the scan finished, i put the laptop into hibernate, and went to sleep! happy in the knowledge my new gizmo was running smoothly!
just before i woke up i heard the laptop turn off as it had run out of charge. so i plugged it in and charged it up, then turned it on. this is where the problem starts...i connected via wifi however the logo at the bottom right of the screen showed the signal strength meter on empty, with a yellow star covering it. i clicked the icon, and it said, 'not connected, connections are available' and below shows im connected with 5/5 signal strength, but on 'limited access'.
1) there might be a problem with the driver for the local area connection adapter
2)there might be a problem with the driver for the wireless network connection adapter
there are 28 updates, but im unable to update them as i have no internet connection. i also cant connect via the ethernet cable.i cant roll back the drivers as there are no previously installed ones, and i cant update them as i am already up to date.my other laptop (acer aspire 5630 running on vista) works perfectly fine using wifi and the ethernet cable, so i honestly dont know whats wrong. after reading things on my acer about ways to fix the problem i came to the decision to restore the laptop to the time of my first installation which was adobe flash player (which i installed the day before.) i was unable to do a full factory reset as the only options available are to either restore to a backup, or re-install windows (which requires a disc, which i dont have). i also didnt configure a backup as i had only had the laptop a day!

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am fixing my mom's cousin's laptop Dell Inspiron 1750, which is unable to access the internet. This system runs Windows 7 and can't connect to any router wirelessly. The ethernet port on the laptop also has some bent pins in it, so it can't connect through wire either. The first thing I did when I looked at this computer was connect it to my wireless router and I got the limited connectivity symbol in the taskbar. So I tried to ping and did ipconfig /release and /renew in cmd and that didn't work. I also did a /flushdns and that didn't work. So I went into the internet options and checked if the DNS setting were set to acquire automatically and they are. I have also uninstalled the dell wireless utility as I find it bloatware and unnecessary. I uninstalled the WLAN driver and reinstalled it and that didn't do anything. I then went into safe mode with networking and discovered that I was able to connect wirelessly there. So i figured it could have been the antiviruses (McAfee) firewall or malware of some kind. I downloaded malwarebytes and scanned and found nothing so I uninstalled malwarebytes and so I figured it was McAfee.

This is weird because all the other computers in my house are able to connect to the internet no problem.

What's weird is that when I tethered internet from my phone, I was able to connect my PC to my phone. I have all the drivers up to date.

If you want me to tell you what ipconfig/all says please tell me exactly what you are looking for because I actually have no way of getting a file from my computer onto my phone right now. However the default gateway, dhcp, and DNS are all 192.168.2.1 while the ipv4 is 192.168.2.2 <preferred>.
Also, this happened when I had an iPad in transferring music, and I unplugged my Internet wireless adapter and plugged it into a different USB port, or at least I think that is when it happened. At any rate I got a message saying something about an IP address conflict which I did not pay much attention to.
One other detail is that it is not just my computer that can't connect. My iPhone and my friends iPad that I had plugged in so I could transfer music from my iTunes to his iPad cannot connect either..

I have had a new custom-build PC, with Windows 7 64-bit, for about 2 months. I've had no problems, but the other day my internet connection suddenly cut out, and I have not been able to retrieve it.I can connect to the network, but can't get any internet access. The troubleshooter claims the DNS server isn't responding.I've tried many of the common fixes I saw when I Googled the problem, including 1) trying to use the Google DNS servers (8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4) and other recommended servers (208.67.222.222 / 208.67.220.220) ; 2) re-installing the wireless adapter and its drivers ; 3) restarting the DNS and DHCP client in Administrative Tools -> Services ; 4) tried the 'netsh int ip reset' command in command prompt.I also tried the ipconfig / command prompts. When I tried ipconfig /release, it told me 'media disconnected'.Does this mean it's a hardware problem rather than software? Is my internet adapter broken?
