I have been tring to set up a vpn connection, and in the process set up three wireless connections and two local network connections I do not want. How can I first delete the unwanted wireless and local connections and then set up the vpn connection?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to set up two way sync between some files on my laptop and a network drive so that changes made to either the copy on the network or on my laptop get propagated to each other. I've read the instructions for setting up an "offline file" sync, which is a one way sync. The instructions usually mention that it's possible to set up a two-way sync, but they never actually describe how to do it.

As a last resort I decided to reinstall the driver for my Intel 82566DC-2 Gigabit network connection.

View 3 Replies View Relatediv just bought a new Wireless adaptor for my PC and iv installed the drivers and it shows its working but it isnt showing any connections so i carnt connect to my router i used to Hard wire my PC but i had to move my PC so I cant anymore.
Things iv tryed Reset my Router Reset All settings on my Router Reinstalled the Wireless Uninstalled and Reinstalled the Drivers
Things i Cant do. Reinstall Windows 7 (Dont Have the Disc Anymore) Restore Windows 7 (Dont have a Restore Point) I use Windows 7 32 Bit
I own three computers. One has a wired connection to my wireless router (Linksys WRT54G v. 6 with latest firmware), the other two use wireless adapters and are running Windows XP Professional 32-Bit. If I run Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit on the computer with the wired connection, the other two computers cannot connect to the router (access point). Here's what's troubling.
If I leave the other two "wireless" computers turned off, and run Windows 7 on the "wired" computer, then turn off the "wired" computer, and turn on one or both of the "wireless" computers, they still cannot connect.
In order to establish a wireless connection, once again, I must reset the router , then reset the security, and finally, enter the new network key on each of the "wireless" computers. It doesn't matter whether the "wireless" computers are on or off when I either install or run Windows 7 on the "wired" computer. The problem occurs even when I turn off the "wired" computer before turning on the "wireless" computers.
At this point, I can only "assume" (either from lack of knowledge or imagination) Windows 7 actually makes changes to the router's settings. I cannot access the router's web-based utility from Windows 7 or from Windows Vista. I must access it from Windows XP (I quad boot XP, Vista, Windows 7, and Ubuntu). My problem with wireless networking only occurs with Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit. I don't experience this problem with Vista Ultimate 64-Bit. Also, I have no networking issues with Windows 7 running on the "wired" computer.
Perhaps there is a simple solution. However, it's disconcerting that Windows 7 can prevent other computers from connecting to my router. Windows 7 should only be concerned with connections made to the computer it is running on, and not take over the responsibility of the router. If this is the case, then I find that to be completely unacceptable. I'm not using the wired computer as a gateway for the other computers. The Linksys router is the default gateway.
Furthermore, I'm absolutely not interested in sharing music or files through Home Group, since this feature of Windows 7 is only compatible with other computers running Windows 7, and I'm not about to replace XP on the "wireless" computers with a beta version of Windows 7. I suspect Home Group might be the culprit here, or the reach of Windows Firewall is now out of bounds.
If you know or have an idea of what might be the problem, please let me know. I'll have to leave Windows 7 alone until I find a solution, as I'm not going to go through the hassle of reseting the router and network keys every time I run Windows 7. Unplugging the computer from the router is an option, but to do so would cripple the OS and the fun of using it. Besides, the beta needs access to the Internet for updates and to report problems.
I just reformatted my son's dell inspiron 9300 laptop xp machine and want to get him connected back into the internet.I have done this about a year ago and don't remember how I did it.I have researched for about 3-4 hours now and can't find info on this antiquated windows xp system.

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy laptop {NV53 Gateway} quit searching for networks, and eventually displayed no connections are available. I have looked for solutions all over the internet but I can't find any. The troubleshooter doesn't work for me. It says the driver is experiencing hardware issues, but I know it doesn't, because I looked in the device manager and it doesn't have any issue.
I am trying to figure out what the problem is, I've tried to connect to a network, that doesn't work & I've also tried setting up a new network but that doesn't work either. My Wifi button on my computer is on, and I do have a card installed on it, and it still doesn't show up with any networks. I did ipconfig/all and my Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection says media disconnected only because I dont have it connected to ethernet...
On the other hand, it says:
Tunnel adapter isatap. {45E92676-7CB114F99-8B8C-2BE1DA2A0FEA} and it is a Microsoft ISATAP Adapter (which I didn't know I had). And the other is a Tunnel adapter Teredo Tunnneling Pseudo-Interface. Both of them are media disconnected.
Broadcom NetLink {Tm} Gigabit Ethernet is my ethernet connection. I usually go wirelessely.
I have installed a clean copy of Windows 7 RC1 Build 7100 on my laptop. Whether I am connected to the network using a lan or wireless connection after waking my computer up from sleep I can't get any connection to work.
The wireless shows a limited connection and the wired shows a cable connected by no network connection.
As soon as I restart or shut down/reboot both or either connection restarts automatically and the Internet works.
This is really inconvenient when using a laptop on the move. Any one got any ideas?
can you combine two network connections and use a single IP in Windows 7 ? I'm using my main rig as a file server... and oftenly lack the network bandwidth for the other users... i'm not ready to migrate to a gigabit lan

"Ghost network" serious network adapter bug
How do you rename the default "Network" connection name in Windows 7?? In vista, you could click customize in network and sharing center to rename the network and change the icon, etc. Windows 7 has no such option.... Also, Every time I restart my computer, I automatically get connected to an "unidentified network" public network type, and it says "mixed network". I can't connect to the internet at all when it does that. I have to disable my adapter and re-enable it to correct the problem. Any thoughts ?? It's quite frustrating because it happens on every boot.
I am showing not connected (red x) to the Internet even though I am connected. This just started happening a few days ago, up until then I would show the normal connected icon. I read somewhere about deleting data from my Reg Edit, but that was too complicated for me to do. Does anyone have any other solutions to this problem?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI renamed the wireless network (ESSID) of my router from one of my Windows XP PC's, and then found that my Windows 7 PC could no longer see any networks at all (there are several from neighbours in addition to mine).
Nothing seemed to help - Rebooting, uninstalling drivers for the wireless card, etc. Eventually I got it to work by giving the network card a fixed IP address, and the it could see all the networks again. I could then change it back to DHCP and it was still okay.
I found a previous thread on this but the screens showing how to do this are gone.
I want to rename "home" to my own network name. I am on a wireless USB adapter.
I have updated several computers to Windows 7. On this particular computer (Dell Dimension 8400 desktop with Ethernet connection), each time there is a reboot or shutdown, when I log back in, the computer is disconnected from the network. I see that the router gives the computer an IP address, but Internet Explorer does not open Websites, Outlook does not receive email, etc.When I navigate to the 'Network and Sharing Center', I notice that there are 2 'Network Locations' - 1 'home' and 1 'public'. I have attempted to delete the 'public' location, and I have also attempted to merge the 2 'Network Locations' into 1. This seems to work, but I still cannot surf the Internet. Also, after a reboot, the 2 'Network Locations' are back--even after I merged or deleted them.
I have found a workaround for this. After each reboot and/or shutdown, I navigate to the 'Network and Sharing Center', I click on 'Change adaptor settings', I right-click to 'disable' the 'Local Area Connection', and finally I 'right-click' to 'enable' the 'Local Area Connection'. At that point, the 'public' location goes away (which leave only the 'home' connection) and I am able to immediately surf the Internet, receive email through Outlook, etc.This is a major issue because if the computer is rebooted, I can no longer connect to it remotely, until I am in front of the computer again to disable/re-enable the 'Local Area Connection' adaptor

View 5 Replies View RelatedI recently ran a system recovery on my Samsung 305V and set it back to factory defaults. Now my problem is connecting to the internet. I have hardwired it to the router, also reset the modem and router several times. I disabled the firewall and tried running in safe mode with networking, everything has failed. I looked in the Device manager and there are no devices in the network adapter category besides two Bluetooth Devices. Under the Other Devices category it shows Ethernet, Network and SM Bus Controllers with yellow caution signs on them, I don't know what these are but I can't update the drivers on them or anything.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI was on a flight with EasyJet today, and, the cabin manager confirmed that WiFi was available on the aircraft, and, as a matter of fact Windows 7 was indicating that new connections were available, however, I had a blonde moment. I could not browse anywhere to discover the name of the network and try to connect. I think that this is a design flaw, as WinXP allows users to discover new SSIDs, or else the SSID is configured in some way that it cannot be found is it possible?

Is there a way to configure multiple internet connections with either a preferred primary connection or a way that I can manually route applications to a specific internet connection.
For example I am connect to a corporate lan for corporate email, unix access etc, can I plug in my 3g card and then use that connection when i use msn or a specific browser? I want both connections active at the same time, but the banned stuff on the corporate network to use my 3g connection.
