Firewire Networking Wont Show IP Addresses Or Subnet Mask?
Oct 7, 2006
i have two computers, a desktop and a laptop. I use my desktop primarily for storage (500GB total storage) and burning (2 16x DVD burners). I primarily connect to it through firewire and work on it via TightVNC using my laptop. Recently though, my laptop has been acting funky. The status window shows no IP address or subnet mask (i have them manually configured) at all. But when I go to properties, it has my configurations listed there.My wireless and wired connections are working fine, but the last time this happened I had to reformat, which I did last week and would rather not have to do that again. Because it works fine after format
Hi. Don't know exactly where to go to ask this question, but I want to add a Hi Speed USB 2.0 and firewire 3.5 in. drive to my computer tower in the empty bay What kind of connection should I be looking for on the motherboard.
I am installing an external hard drive via FireWire for a dedicated audio drive but New Hardware Wizard does not appear when I connect. Neither does it show the connected drive when I enter the Wizard manually in control panel. The FireWire shows to be working properly in Device Manager and the drivers are current.
This morning when I went to the computer, the screen was blank and the computer was running. There was no HD activity. The computer was not hibernating. Eventually I reset and the computer would not boot. I opened the case, removed the video card and was able to boot to XP Pro SP2. I had left the computer on overnight to render/burn a DVD with Sony Vegas.Once I got to the desktop, I found that networking was no longer functioning. None of my network connections appeared under "Network Connections". My onboard LAN (Realtek RTL8100) was no longer appearing in my device manager nor is my modem (not that I ever use it) or my firewire card. I don't know what else might be missing.I have a MSI MS-6533 Mainboard w/ Intel P4-1.6 GHz (Bought as barebones system).
I found out that suddenly all my hard drive-related activity weren't working right, like copying to and from the main drive were almost as slow as USB1 connection and hogged the CPU, only in kernel times whereas any transfer made between external drives, be they USB or Firewire, functionned normally.This malfunction came sometimes with grinding noises from the drive and after a while a system lockup with a blue screen that displayed two types of message, I'll have to look them up again but one mentions a kernel stack error.At first I thought of a hardware failure but this theory got dispelled after I reinstalled XP on another partition on the same drive and noticed everything worked normally. When I activate the old partition and XP install, the problem remains. I checked and tried to update the controller drivers but they all seemed to be unchanged and up-to-date.my config consists of XP SP1 French, on a Laptop with one drive - ask me for more specifics if needed.
I have video saved on a Maxtor 80GB external drive that is formated in fat32, from a Windows ME system. I need to move the video info to a newer PC w XP. I have read the forum comments on how to convert from fat 32 to NTFS. However when I connect the Maxtor firewire the PC will NOT RECOGNIZE the drive. Until recongized I can't convert. I have other larger external drives that are in NTFS and are recongized immediately.
There are some web addresses in the address tool bar that just will not delete . I have tried the basic means(tools, options, clear history, delete files delete cookies) Does not work with theses web addresses.
1. I know this problem is common, but i can searched high and low, and still have not found a fix for the start up "Generic Host Service Process Error".
2. Certain web addresses do not load. Mostly ad servers. For example the Drudgereport.com ads do no load on my computer. Also Myway.com logo, and yahoo logo to not load. Even the ads on this site do not load.
I recently (and reluctantly - I love Windows 2000) installed XP SP 2 on a partition. Everything is working okay, except: I cant get my Firewire drive to show up in Device Manager or Explorer unless it's turned on when I boot up. I normally keep it turned off, since it's a backup drive, and only turn it on when I need it. If I turn it on after booting, it will only show up if I disconnect the data cable (not the power cable) and then reconnect it.
When I click on a web site address in an email or other document, my xp goes to http://0.0.0.1/ and not to the address. I can copy the address and then go to my browser and paste it in and get to the site, but it is a real pain.
Let's say I'm checking out one of the many motorcycle forums I enjoy. I'm discussing something & I want to incorporate a web address thaat they can just click on. How do I do this? The cut & paste feature doesn't work. Do I need to change some setting on my computer?Why can't I import a picture from my documents either?
I was wondering how to remove web addresses from the dropdown bar in IE. After going to clear history, there always remains one web address and i have no clue how to delete it.
I am using Windows XP on my PC. For some reason we can not save any changes made to a word document. I tried Excel and that worked fine. When I choose Save As and click on save the computer hangs up. Internet Explorer is doing the same thing. I cannot type in a URL addresses and it go to the site. None of the addresses I type in show up in the drop down menu. If it is in my favorites I can get it to respond.
I am running a home network with multiple Windows XP machines attached to the Internet with a Linksys router with the DHCP function turned on. Is it possible to have one of my machines use a static IP address instead of the one leased by the router. I know how to setup a static ip address, and I am using a number in the same subnet mask but I can't get access to the Internet.
i have a unsecured wireless network. (dont ask why, but i have now put a password). my question is, the other compouters that are using the internet via the broadband router, do they use the same IP address as my main computer? or they get assigned completly diff IP addresses, not even related to my home comuter. Does this mean, it is a possiobility that other people have taken advantage of my internet (by going on questionable sites), and it is linked to my IP address?
Here's the problem new computer with windows XP from Gateway can not translate ip addresses from numbers to dot com addresses.In other words, IE cannot pull up any internet service though ping is receiving with 0% lost.Norton package with Spy Sweeper and Window Washer has been installed and run with no change.
This has been a problem for me for about 2 years now.I've seen many other people complain with the same problem, but have never seen a viable solution (it's always what brands, switch channels, winsockfix, firmware, etc.)Wireless connect (Belkin Wireless Pre-N card)Win XP SP2 (updated as far as it can go) The problem: Connection becomes unstable(i.e. slow) for about 2-5 seconds, then utterly fails to connect...can't access web, can't access local address(i.e. 192.168.1.1), can't ping anything. When using DHCP on router, doing a repair (i.e. release/renew clear ARP cache, etc.) fixes. If using static IP, then I must assign a new IP. That is, I have to go from say 192.168.1.110 to 192.168.1.111
The problem is not unique to a single ISP & router. I have two networks I can access. For troubleshooting sake, I made them both unencrypted (although WEP, WPA makes no difference to the problem). I have also tried multiple channels in the theory of interference, and channel strength for both networks are good(using NetStumbler). Both networks are on far channels from each other (i.e. 1 & 11), and there are no other networks detected in the area by WinXP or NetStumbler.Net #1) Ameritech DSL Modem ->DLink Router ->Belkin Pre-N Wireless(access point). Router logs in PPoE (the DSL modem's "router functions are turned off"), Belkin access point has NAT turned off. (don't have the exact model numbers in front of me, but it's irrelavent, as the problem transcends manufacturers.
I tried using IE 7 and was not impressed and had some problems getting to web sites from addresses posted in emails that I normally have done for years on trusted sites. I am running XP Pro SP2. I tried doing a registry cleaning after deleting IE 7 and finally had to do a system restore to prior to installing it, but now I am getting the same problem again. The normal browser I use is Firefox 2.0 combined with using Outlook as my email program.
When forwarding mail I've tried everything and can't get rid of all of the addys that come with e-mails that are sent to me in yahoo mail. I've looked everywhere in yahoo and can't find an option that tells me how to do that. I've tried "edit with microsoft front page" and I keep getting "there was a problem" this is a nightmare.
When I shut down my computer it installed a new version of Outlook Express and it no longer had my contacts or emails. I couldn't figure it out so I set back my computer to an earlier date and it was back to normal.Shut down my computer again and I have the new version of Outlook again with no address or emails. Any thoughts on what is going on and how I can get this fixed?
Internet Explorer/Internet Options/Homepage has a lot of addresses for Homepage options that are sites I've visited but never used for my homepage, and I can't get rid of them. Delete doesn't work, control/delete doesn't work.
excuse my ignorance but is Outlook Express part of:
a) the operating system (in this case windows xp) b) microsoft office c) something else
I'm trying to set up a new computer for a charity, just one problem they did not back up their email addresses and emails on outlook express from their last machine (which failed) so what do we do to restore everything? just wondered if anyone knew WHERE on the hard drive does outlook express store its emails and email addresses?
I am purchasing a new computer. How do I transfer the emails and addresses from Microsoft Outlook to my new computer? How can I transfer my saved bookmarks from Firefox and IE to my new comuter?
