I install windows xp, I was missing some drivers so i was able to get what i needed and my computer is running just fine but the wireless network connection is reading in Spanish. I've already gone to the regional settings and made sure it reads English, there is no other part of my computer that i have come across that reads in spanish except this section.
View 14 RepliesXP 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.
I 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.
View 7 Replies View RelatedIs there anyway to enable your wireless network connection and disable it with the starting & stopping of your web browser (IE 6.0), Win XP Pro, service pack 2. I like my wireless connection to be disabled when I am not surfing the web. Can I automate this task some how?

When you pull up the screen is says " non connected" but it actually is, then about 15 mins later it kicks me off and I have to re connect manually. This is very time consuming and is a pest. 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.

I just put a new 250GB HDD in an Intel D865 GLC motherboard with a 3GB Pentium cpu, but I can't get online! And I installed a new XP Pro.There's a net adapter built into the mobo: 1394 Net Adapter. It says it's connecting, but when I go thru the wizard for either the internet connection or the network connection, it doesn't get read. The little screen moved halfway toward connectivity and then it gives me a new page. I thought I'd work around it by disabling it, and I installed a D-Link NIC. The computer won't even recognize the D-Link! The Device Manager says it's working properly. I called Comcast, twice, and they came to the conclusion after going thru various routines that my computer is not reading the 1394 Net Adapter.

we're trying to do a wireless network with desktop. We've got the wireless part working, we can get to the internet from the laptop. But I can't figure out why it's not seeing the "workgroup" and the shared folders that we shared on the desktop. I turned on my own laptop and the shared folders just popped up without even trying, but on my mom's laptop, I can't see the workgroup at all. I had the printer installed at one time and it worked. But then I changed the name of the desktop computer, and then I deleted that printer and tried to re-do it, but it won't even see that there's anything under the workgroup. And then sometimes it won't even see that there IS a workgroup.

Thought it could be a temporary problem so just slept it off, woke up again this morning and I've not been able to connect my laptop to the wireless network. I've even come down to the host computer and placed my laptop next to it, to see if the signal was any better.. and it is just non existant. I click on "wireless network connection" and refresh network list and it just "no wireless networks were found in range" and whenever I click refresh network list it just comes up with the same message straight away.. Not allowing it to search. I'm so worried it might be something to do with my laptop because I am going to uni next week, so NEED wireless when I am there.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI've got a wireless network setup in my apartment. One desktop, hardwired to a wireless router and hardwired to a printer. Two laptops, both connected to the wireless network for internet and printing. It has been working fine for over a year now. No glitches. But about a week ago, one laptop stopped being able to print. It is still connected to the network for internet, but it won't print. The other laptop is printing fine, so it shouldn't be a network problem. The desktop is printing fine too. I've tried disabling the firewall on both the laptop and the desktop. Nothing. When I try to print from Firefox, I get the following message: Printing failed when starting the document. When I try to print from Word, I get: Windows cannot print due to a problem with the current printer setup. Try one of the following: Check the printer by printing a test page from windows. Make sure the printer is turned on and online. Reinstall the printer driver. When I try to print from Notepad, I get: The RPC server is unavailable. And finally, when I go to "Printers and Faxes" in the Control Panel, right click on the printer and choose "Sharing", I get: Printer properties cannot be displayed. The print spooler service is not running.

However, a windows disk didn't come with the computer so I used the one that came with my desktop (dell xps 400). It's running fine and all that jazz but I am clueless on how to set up my wireless connection. When I first bought the computer the first time I opened it it automatically picked up the wireless connection and all I had to do is type in a password and such. Now I guess I'm starting from scratch... There's no webcam software on it or anything like it came with. The resolution doesnt even fit the same after adjusting it. (It's close but still a little stretched out)
