New Network Detected
Oct 27, 2006
I'm running Windows XP on a stand-alone pc. I have Norton Internet Security/Anti-Virus installed. I have encountered a pop up window (which will not go away) with the message "New Network Detected". It wants me to select home, office, etc.I don't have any windows firewall enabled, but have Norton taking care of it instead.The consensus I'm getting is get rid of Norton, it stinks. But I would think there could be something simpler/makes more sense to do.

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 have a home network of three computers connected to a Linksys router which is connected to a cable modem to Road Runner. In one machine I am running W2K Professional with IIS 5.0. I am trying to build a web site consisting of a large number of web pages and associated .jpg, .gif and .mp3 files. The W2K Pro machine, which is running IIS 5.0, always creates a bugcheck error and reboots after I enter the URL to the web pages in questions. The requests are entered from a XP Pro machine on the local network. The W2K machine bugchecks and reboots whenever I kill a browser session and then restart it. The Event viewer in the W2K Pro machine shows an error message that says, "A duplicate name has been detected on the TCP network. The IP address of the machine that sent the message is in the data. Use the nbtstat -n " I cannot do any of this as the the machine bugchecks and reboots. All machines on the local network are configured for DHCP for compatability with Road Runner. My W2K Pro machine is current with SP4 plus updates. The machine I am using for the browser is XP Pro current to SP2 plus updates since.

I have a built in wireless card in my Dell D610 laptop. Every time my computer wakes up it gives me a notice that it has detected a wireless network somewhere (even if it is secured or is very weak. This is annoying.
Can someone tell me how to stop this, or at least cause the notice to disappear after 1 second, rather than after about 20 seconds?

This message keeps popping up every so often.. is it legitimate? or is it just a part of a pop-up ad/adware/etc.? "Windows Security Center WARNING: Windows Firewall detected suspicious network activity on your computer. Malicious software codes try to steal your privacy information, such as credit card numbers, electronic mail accounts, financial data or passwords.

I have a gateway 6520 gz laptop with IE6 and XPHE, I 'm on a network with two computers and use NETWORK MAGIC for the network, when I turn the laptop on it wants to display {the page cannot be displayed} instead of going online! Then NETWORK MAGIC pops-up and says {YOU ARE NOW CONNECTED} then I have to manually turn on IE6 button to go online, almost like the page {the page cannot be displayed} wants to come up first instead of the connection?

I need to have network drive on my Windows XP computer. In order for a software to work, there needs to exist a network drive, named N, existing on my PC. Since there's not a second PC to link to, what I did was to created a directory named est on the same PC , share it out, and then, map a network drive, named N, to it. When my PC has an Ethernet cable connected to a switch, Windows XP will see that N drive (existing on the same PC). The moment I disconnect that Ethernet cable from the switch, the N drive is gone. Is there a way to have a mapped network drive on XP (as mentioned above), without the need to have a network cable connecting that PC to a switch?

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 a HT ready processor, Mobo, and chipset. Yet I do not have it running on my system. I have dealt with the mobo support, and they say I need a fresh install of windows. I can't do that because it is pre installed software. Bios does not give me the option, but even if it did it is supposed to be enabled by default. Is there anything in windows that anyone knows of that I may have turned off, or a way to enable or access it through windows. I have XP pro SP2.

I have a friend who is having a problem with his laptop.I don't know what kind of laptop he has but the problem is his laptop cannot detect any cd/dvd rom drives. It will not detect the internal cd/dvd rom or an external dvd rom (connected thru usb2.0). It does however recognise the harddrive. He is using Windows 2000 OS. For obvious reasons he cannot put in the Win2000 CD and reinstall drivers (if that is what the problem is). So, does anyone know what could be wrong? I can get more information on the laptop if this would help.

Ive a disk of 80 GB storage.formatted and partitioned it into 3 partitions, one NTFS, where i installed XP, and the other two FAT32.no other OS installed. now the problem is , it wont boot properly. i mean it starts booting, and where the welcome screen is supposed to come, it goes black. anyway, i noted in partition magic's Check for errors, dat the third partition had a few bad blocks, and ran chkdsk to correct the errors. i thote dat wud solve the problem.but it didn't.so i formatted a second time the last partition only (to FAT32 again), and then it was listed in partition magic,but couldnt be accessed anywhere, in command prompt or windows explorer.

Helping a friend with his computer (Gateway w/XP Home SP2) and discovered his floppy drive does not detect the floppy disk when it is inserted. I was attempting to created Ghost images from the floppy and it would boot into the OS instead of the bootable floppy. Checked BIOS and boot sequence was correct (2nd boot device). Tried 3 different disks still no joy. Clicked on A:/ drive in Windows Explorer (with floppy disk inserted) and got "Device not accessible". Checked floppy drive properties in Device Manager and it says device is operating normally.
I have not yet opened the tower to check connections, but to date the tower has never been opened since the computer was purchased a couple of years ago. I do not know whether the floppy has ever been actually used. My friend doesn't remember ever using it.Checked the bootable floppy in my computer and it worked just fine.

In reinstalling XP SP2; Monitor works, but only in 680/460 resolution and it cannot be changed. Device manager shows no monitor or driver. The correct driver is Intel 82865G and I cannot find it anywhere in the old files. Can't download it from the Intel site either (problem #2!) Also, I tried shutting down and disconnecting the monitor then restarting with the monitor connected (no luck.)

I have done a format and complete new installation of Windows Xp. Upon rebooting, the computer shows me the option on screen (F1)of going into BIOS setup.then shows me a blank screen with the message-Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt.I removed that hard drive and tried another working hard drive with WinXp and same message came up. Problem the computer does not respond to my (PS2)keyboard input so that I can at least go into the bios setting. Bought a new Logitech USB keyboard but that too did'nt resolve the problem. Is there a way to update this bios as I noted a new update. Computer is a Compaq presario 1920nx.

Having a major problem with my PC locating my Pinoneer DVD drive & my Sony CD drive. When I go into my device manager, both drives have a yellow dot with an explantion point. When I try to enable them, I get a message saying windows has located the driver but the hardware is not working. When I look under My Computer, the drives are not even listed under Storage Devices. I've even atempted to do a system restore but not matter what restore point I go back to, Windows says it's unable to restore from that point, choose another. I am far from a PC guru and don't really understand much technical stuff. Can someone help me get up & running again?

when I browse "My Network Places", the browsing is so incredibly slow. It takes a long while when you click one icon in the “My Network Places” for that to open up and go to the next directory or when just first displaying the computers in “My Network Places”, it goes so slow.
I use Windows Workgroup on the LAN to share out internet. Everything else, other than browsing the network, works great. The internet browses nice and fast.
This morning I opened My Network Places while my pc was still loading all the programs at start-up and "My Network Places" was fast. After a few minutes it was back to normal low pace. Now I guess it is something running on my pc slowing it down. Is it maybe to do with XP Service Pack 2? Before installing SP2 the network browsing on my pc is fast, after installing SP2, it is slow. Other computers on the network without SP2 browse the network quite fast.
All the pc's on the network has XP Pro.
