Icons Disappearing / Unable To Connect To Network?
Feb 25, 2006
I have had numerous problems with my PC - including disappearing icons, connectivity problems (I have cable internet and all seems to be in order but I can't connect a lot). I also have settings on my PC that somehow change themselves. So, I've read through the forums and decided to try the Hijack this solution and was hoping someone could help. I also cannot use Internet Explorer - I get a window that mentions internet settings. Before that window came up I saw something to the effect of c:windowssystem 32 error.
i am unable to connect 10 systems using windows xp, i am using dlink 16 port switch, each systems detects network at a speed of 100 Mbps, the network is not connected to internet, so i used manual configuration of ip. all other settings i know of is ok, the fire walls are off, it uses norton antivirus. what do i do to get the systems connected. pls help it is hanging on my neck.
When i connect to the internet, The Icon of the two small computers does not go to my Task bar ( near the tasks eg: msn messenger ), until i go to My Network Connections, Right click and press Refresh... i mean it does'nt go automaticaly, same as my network connection when its aquiring the ip, it stays there in my tray until i refresh my Network connections, Anybody knows a workaround ? I don't have any idea why that happened, i don't remember missing with anything
My dad's Dell 8400 is having a series of issues. He posted a similar thread in the Hardware forum, but it's possible it might be more than hardware, so checking here to see if ya'll might have some suggestions (as I know this forum gets more visibility and he's getting anxious).He turned on the computer last night to have it not booting up at all. It gave a series of 4 beeps followed by 2 beeps, and then wouldn't do anything after that. He tried multiple times, with one or two of them bring him to the BSD asking to boot in safe mode or system restore.
My brother has Win XP Home Edition.2 days ago, he was surfing the net and was bombarded with 15-20 popups. While trying to close them, his computer froze. He rebooted, but he no longer has ANY Icons on his desktop nor does he have a start bar. Even in Safe Mode they aren't there. His desktop wallpaper shows, and you can ctrl+alt+del and get the task manager & go to programs that way, but that's about it. If he goes to the I-net thru task manager, he can get to his home page (msn), but is unable to check his hotmail (clicking on it doesn't do anything, it just doesn't go to the new page)
I am trying to set up a home network to connect my laptop (with xp pro) to my desktop (with xp home) i am using a 3com office conect router as a hub. With the fire walls on each machine switched off I can see each of the machines from each other.I can share files on the laptop with the desktop, but when I try to access the desktop from the laptop I get the following message : xxxxxxx is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Login Failure : the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer.
My network adapter does not appear in Device Manager, until I "Show hidden devices". And then it appears as a "Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC", whereas I actually have a D-Link DFE-538TX 10/100 adapter. Furthermore, I get no icons (at all) in the Network Communications window. So if I want to change any settings of my LAN, for example, I can't, because I can't select the LAN icon or right-click on it. The LAN is working though. The current driver for the Realtek adapter which is listed is a MS driver.
I have Windows XP Sp2 whe i try to chanhe ip in "Local Area Connection" i got following message:" Network Connetion Folder was unable to retrive the list of network Adapters":i checked "Services" .Ok working fine then what 's the problem??
I've installed an Access database on our network. Can I connect to my db while it's on the network using IIS? I've tried in the past and have always gotten the message telling me that the db has to be local.
I have three computers that i need to connect to each other and to my network. What I want to do is put 2 NICs in each of the three computers and connect Computer A to Computer C and Computer B to Computer C via crossover cable. The second NIC in each of the three computers will be used to connect each of the computers to my network
My wireless connection says that it is connected to the network, but can't connect to the internet. Tried to repair through MSN and said that my default gateway is down or something of that nature.

I had a problem trying to connect my Canon Pixma 4000 so that I could access it wireless via our home LAN. I have one laptop(the wife's) attached directly to the router (cable service from Optimum). My laptop is used wirelessly from another part of the home. All was working well, except I could never get the printer to work so that I could use it wirelessly, so I had it plugged in directly to my laptop. Up to this point, it was all ok. I have AVG and ZoneAlarm running on both computers. A friend, (really) was at my home and volunteered to connect the printer so that it would work wirelessly. He is a UNIX administrator, manages a number of pc's too. I thought, "this is great, my own administrator".
To shorten the story, he removed ZA, the computer will not work wirelessly, only works when connected directly to the modem and the printer doesn't work wireless. I called ZA, and they guided me through removing all the "orphans" that were left behind, so that cleared up a problem whereas I could connect to the net, but couldn't get to another url. I did not re-install ZA yet, because I don't want to add anything else into the mix. I will post a HJT log if that is what is needed. I DO NOT care if the printer works wirelessly. I will live with it connected to the back of my computer, BUT, I do want my laptop to work wirelessly so that both me and my Frau can be on-line at the same time. I have been through the IP address checking, all is ok there. If I try to connect via the SYSLINK wireless, I get nothing, even PING ing different sites gets no valid response. Regrettably, I have some tech knowledge, but not enough to figure out this one.
I have just installed Windows XP and am trying to connect to a network via Ethernet on a Compaq Presario SR5130NX.I have green lights on the network cable and when I boot into Ubuntu (Linux), the network works fine. In Windows XP, when I go to Control Panel > Network Connections > Set up a home or small office network, I get a message: "The wizard cannot find your network hardware." Under Device Manager, there is nothing to do with network components, so I'm pretty sure that I need drivers.
I have read that you can get network connections such as Dial-up, and VPN to connect at boot of windows using windows services. - But it did'nt say how. I have found out how to add a new service, But I don't know where the root for the network connection I want to connect to is. Can anyone give me any advice or tell me where the network connections root is?
i have a problem with my network folder.It seems that I can't see my existing network connections in the folder! I first noticed this when i click on my dial-up connection the connection window won't come up.When i open the network connections folder in the control panel, an error message comes up with this message:The Network Connections Folder was unable to retrieve the lsit of Network adapters on your machine. Please make sure that the Network Connections service is enabled and running.
I can't get it connect to the internet. I know the connection is good, because I can see other computers on my home network, and those computers can get to the internet (like this one). The Bad computer has IE 7, which loads ok but then I can't get anything on the web. Also have Mozilla Firefox loaded which I was using for a while, but now it won't even open up.
I just installed XP pro Sp2 over Vista Home Premium on my laptop. Please note that I originally had XP and upgraded to VISTA (big mistake) a year ago. The installation process went well, however I can't connect to Internet. My network connection shows that I have a connection. I tried to do ipconfig from command menu and did nor get any IP address.
My home wireless network is connected at excellent signal strength, and the other computer on the network can access the internet, but once or twice a day, none of the browsers on my operating system can load anything until I restart. Also, TrendMicro can't update until restart. Possibly related: The last time this happened, I checked task manager and found two copies of rundll32.exe, but only one copy once I restarted. The computer was nuked about a month ago, I've kept my user privileges to the minimum and I perform frequent updates and scans, so a trojan seems unlikely, but maybe it's a driver problem? Also, on one occasion the wireless showed limited/no connectivity, but this is not usually the case.
I tried to install ZoneAlarm last week which crashed during the installation. This has caused multiple issues:1 - Can't shut computer down - I can get to the "log off", "shut down" and "restart" option of which none do anything so I'm forced to unplug as the power on/off doesn't work either. I've checked the power management options and these are normal.2 - Can't connect to the internet via my network card. Replaced the card as the network cable works on laptop and though it was the card but no luck(Modem goes to router which splits to 2 PC's and laptop
My toshiba laptop detected the wireless network in range, but when I try to browse nothing comes out!!!will reinstalling the windows solve the problem, to ensure that all drivers are defined??
I am at a friends house and one of their computers are not connecting to the internet, they have a network set up and all tha good stuff and its working fine on allt he other computers BUT hers. She recently moved her desktop from the floor to her desk to get it away from the pet hair, and i made sure the wires are all in good condition and plugged in correctly. The computer will not repair the connection nor will the internet work.
What on God's green earth is this? I have two network connections icons in my control panel. When I hover over them a tool tip(the little yellow box), each one says something different. One says "connects to other computers, networks and the Internet" and the other one says"configures network software". When I click on each one, they both go to the same Network Connections location with connections. What is the deal? Have I done something wrong? My computer is fine and everything, it just bugs me a little. I can deal with it if I have to.
I am running windows xp service pack 3 on an hp desktop and i have recently installed a new wireless card. The network that I am trying to connect to can only be accessed through the use of windows wireless manager. The problem that i am having is that the network icons (both wireless and wired) are missing from the system tray. This wouldnt normally bother me, but one of the steps for connecting requires you to click a bubble that pops up from the wireless network icon. However, no icon = no bubble. I can access my available networks from the network connections folder, but i need those icons in order to finish setup. I have checked the boxes to display the icons in the system tray and I have unchecked the hide unused icons box. I cannot find any solutions online.
I have been having alot of trouble lately. Every time I try to click on a site I get an unable to connect message, if I go back and try again it usually goes through the third or fourth time clicking the link. This is happening with every site. I am running windows ME. I have tried disabling Norton, running ccleaner, all spyware utilities and nothing helps. It has taken me about 45 minutes just to be able to post this message.

Right click an empty area of the desktop and choose properties. Select the "Desktop" tab and click "Customize Desktop".On the General Tab place a checkmark in the icons you wish to appear on the Desktop.

Problems occured after last update from Microsoft and consistent blue screens which I was able to correct in Safe Mode. Seems Microsoft dumped part of SP2 in my ad-remove programs but now I'm back to SP1 although there may be a conflict? Now using Microsoft "how to troubleshoot missing network connections icons in....XP" gets me to step 5...registering the dlls. Two I was able to register...netcfgx.dll and netman.dll.
for a little while now i've been unable to connect to any servers, or at least thats what i think. I play lots of games online and so on. things were fine and then one day i recieved this error while trying to play 'halo' online. 'An error has occurred while trying to contact the gamespy master server'. after messing around with halo for a while i tried other games; doom3, quake3, counter strike and so on, but all with the same effect, i couldnt connect to a server. This was also the case when i tried to update Ad-aware, it freezes when i try to update. I've checked my firewall and individual programs but have come to no conclusion. have also tried 'system restores' but each time they fail?
