View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been referred to MSN as a source of help for this problem. Although I am an AOL subscriber, I access MSN Messenger, and the MSN Gaming Zone daily. My PC uses Windows XP, and for the past few days I have have been booted from both MSN areas, after a short time of usage. Then I am also booted from AOL. Upon sign on, a warning comes up saying that I have limited or no connectivity to my local area connection. I was told by AOL NOT to disable this, as it may also disable my connection to AOL.

what I must to do to make (Local Area Connection)?
I've been trying to use Remote Desktop to connect from my home computer to my office network's machines. I've followed all the instructions except for the part where it talks about getting a "virtual private network connection". Not sure if I have this part done right. Not even sure if this is the problem. Is there something that needs to be set up before being able to connect from a home computer to an office machine?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have 2 computers I am trying to network together and share a dsl connection. One my wireless laptop everything is fine. On my desktop my connection is very slow I have tried everything I can think of and I am still at a loss. The other thing that is happening is my printer is hooked up to my desktop If I try to print from my laptop on the printer screen it says it is spooling but after about a minute it just drops off and never prints. I am using a Westell versalink modem/Router from verizon. I thought the router was not working right so I took the D-Link router back to best buy and ordered this one from verizon but I am still having the same problem. So the next thing I tried to do was reinstall windows on my Desktop but I am still having problems. If I switched from a hard wired system with my laptop and went wireless would this help. Any help with this problem would be great.

I have a file server (Win2K Server) and two Win XP Pro PCs connected to it. I never turn the PCs off, just the monitors at night. Most every morning, after all night of no activity, when I try to access the domain drives, it cannot find them. I have to reboot. Also, when I do reboot, it takes anywhere from 3-5 minutes to come to the desktop after typing in the password. I am about ready to go back to Win2K. Never had this problem Win2K Pro.
View 8 Replies View RelatedXP has stopped connecting to my wireless connecter "Wireless Network Connection Not Connected" Device manager says everything is normal, and I can identify other local wireless networks. XP recognizes that the connector is there, but it won't hook up. I have disabled and reenabled the wireless connector and reloaded all of the Broadcom software. I tried to do an XP repair, but I am using SP3. The slipstream recovery disc that I made is asking for a password to get into XP, but there isn't any. I've verified this with three different password cracking programs. Everything else is working; I am on an Ethernet connection now.
how to force XP to connect or know what drivers I need to reload that are used to connect to the wireless connector besides the Broadcom's that I have already reloaded? I really don't want to do a complete XP reinstall.
no adapters bound to TCP/IP are enabled for DHCP...unable to contact IP driver - error code 2...Remote Access Connection Manager Error 5 Access denied...Basically, this computer's local network connection is sending but not receiving packets.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI reinstalled windows xp sp3 on a old laptop. Everything went fine except for internet connectivity. I have a wireless network to which I connect several computers and devices and everything works like it should.When I try to connect my laptop to this network, it fails.Every 5 seconds it goes from not connected to acquiring network address.I am sure that the key is correct, I am sure that my router is belkin router is wireless G and so is the Ralink RT2500 card. I am also sure that I have not white listed MAC addresses so my laptop won't connect. Basically I have done every simple thing that perhaps could be causing the problem.

I have tried restoring my registry to an eariler point and have checked for spyware and virus.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIn the Wireless Network Connection Properties box under the Wireless Networks tab, there is a checkbox available for "Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings." In the past this box was checked and stayed checked all the time even if I rebooted, restarted, etc.. Starting a few days ago whenever I reboot, startup, etc. by default this box is now always unchecked and I have to go in and recheck it each time.What's making this box uncheck itself and how do I get it to stay checked again?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI got my computer fixed See thread I am having another slight problem. I don't think that this problem was necessarily caused because of the others issues I have recently fixed because I have had this issue in the passed but it just seemed to fix itself. I have a HP zd7000us laptop with wireless capabilities. However I the system does not even show any wireless network available. My desktop in my house has no problems going online with the wireless, neither does my psp for that matter. It's like the computer doesn't even know it's there. I went to the hardware wizard on my system and it says the wireless card is working properly but it will not see any available wireless networks.

(the 2 little flashing computer screens inthe bottom right hand corner near the clock) The trouble is she uses these to disconnect from the internet and at the moment restarts her computer each time she wants to disconnect.Its driving me nuts trying to find the right menu to turn them back on and I'm probably being blind.If someone could give me some info it would be most appreciated by me and my mum. She's running XP professional and has not yet installed service pack 2.
View 8 Replies View RelatedWe lost electricity for about 2/10ths of a second. My son was on the computer when it happened. The computer shut off and came back on. When it resumed, we were unable to connect to the internet. The first thing I did was check the Network Connections folder. To my dismay.This happened several months ago, and I was not able to fix anything and ended up using my 9 HP recovery disks. All I could find on the net seemed to involve fixing connections that you could see in the folder. I did a restore to the day before. Nothing. I did a system restore which put all the crap back on my computer that I don't need but still did not get me anything in my connections folder. I used the network connection wizard which says my broadband is working fine but won't connect. I checked my network adapters which were all working fine (although always hidden, is that normal?) When I did the system restore, it removed several network adapters, but since I don't have anything in the connections folder to connect, it doesn't really matter at this point.

I had him re-install windows xp by hitting F8, working our way to get the pc to even see the install cd, it seemed to fix the booting up problem, he lost everything (personal files etc) but at least windows came up, and seemed to be functional until... now he can't connect to the internet, there's nothing in his network connections, tried the wizard, no luck, seems like the pc lost the ability to ADD a connection

View 14 Replies View RelatedI recently reformatted my laptop, and I got everything working, I had some network connection issues but I got past those. After installing SP2, I was unable to access any Microsoft websites, so I uninstalled SP2, after the uninstall process, it blue screened, though I don't remember what it said, it shut down after about 5 seconds and I was unable to catch the text displayed. Okay, so I try to start the computer up again, safe mode (all of them; networking, cmd prompt, etc) - Safe mode will not launch so that's out of the question. If I start windows normally or last known good configuration, it gets to the windows splash screen, and then goes black. If I could just get my important files that I moved to my computer, I could reformat again to try and fix the problem.. I have my XP disk in right now and was going to try and use the Repair on it, but I'm afraid that it'll stop any chances of recovering my lost files.
View 4 Replies View RelatedOn my office network, the domain controller is a Win2000 Server. Ever since I began upgrading workstations to Windows XP two or three years ago, I have had difficulties. The machines running XP Pro lose connection to file shares on the server (and other fileservers) after a period of inactivity, sometimes as short as five minutes, sometimes as long at 2 hours. When the user tries to open a network share, Explorer hangs.sometimes after 3-5 min a username/password dialog will ask you to authenticate using a different user account than the one you're logged in under, then your connection is restored for the time being.other times, you end up getting a "file not found" or "you do not have permission to access this network resource" error. I've been dealing with this for two years, and recently it's gotten a lot worse on one computer, so I need to fix it badly.
