I reformatted my hard drive and now I can't connect to the internet. I have tried several things, looking at posts online from others but nothing has worked so far.I am using another computer to get info on fixing this problem. I have a Vista computer and I have a wireless netgear adapter.
View 3 RepliesSo I reformatted my hard drive today and reinstalled Windows XP Professional version. I have a desktop tower, but I use a Netgear wireless adapter to connect to the Internet. I went to reinstall the program from the CD so I could connect to the internet, when a prompt came up saying that I had to download and install some update to my OS to install the software. To do that, I needed to connect to the internet. So, I took the desktop to a hard point and tried connecting it to the house router through an ethernet cable. However, the ethernet connection is not working either. After reading some similar problems, I went to Device Manager, and noticed that the devices: "Multimedia Audio Controller", "PCI Modem", and "Video Controller (VGA Compatible)" all have yellow "!"s next to them.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI've formatted my HP 530 Notebook (using 'Operating System CD - Windows XP Professional SP2'). All went well. It was my first format but I read a lot on the internet, so I knew I had to download and install the chipset, the bus driver, the audio and video drivers, the network adapters, etc. This I did, on the HP website [URL].
Everything is working perfectly except for the internet. The device (a Broadcom wireless network adapter I installed from the HP website) is reportedly 'working properly', the HP assistant says that the Wireless LAN is 'ON', but my Broadcom wireless network wizard cannot find any network, let alone the network of my router. The Windows assistant is just as useless.
I've tried it all: uninstalling and re-installing, snooping around with 'ipconfig /all' and utilities like 'Everest', to start the Wireless Zero Configuration, to use other network adapters, installing SPs and patches, all that jazz. Apparently, everything is fine and 'working properly' - except that there's no network in sight.
Clearing up some questions:
- The 'Everest' utility says that the Interface Type of my wireless network adapter is 'Ethernet'. Isn't Ethernet supposed to be for cable connections?
- Needless to say, I've been back and forth with drivers a lot. Windows calls my wireless (non)connection 'Wireless Network Connection 2'. Is this in any way significant?
- I'm using 'Broadcom' because that's all I saw at the HP website. Should I try something else instead, like Atheros or Intel something-something?
I'm becoming a bit desperate, so if all else fails, I'm willing to reformat the computer (for the third time) and install the drivers you recommend to me in the recommended order.
My grandma has a Dell Inspiron 1520 running Win XP and has a Dell Wireless 1505 Draft 802.11n W LAN Mini-Card. The other day I reformatted her computer for her to clean things up and since then I have been unable to connect to the internet. Her computer will recognize the wireless network and connect to it but after a few minutes of trying to authenticate network address it will pop up a little window that says "limited or no connectivity." I've read countless forums on the internet using my computer and have come to the realization that it's an invalid ip address. In one post I read someone provided an ip address, subnet mask, default gateway, and a preferred DNS server code that I typed in which then showed that I was connected with wifi but still says authenticating on the WLAN card.

I want to connect to the Internet small office where docsis (internet over tv cable) is used as WAN.For similar tasks but other WANs (adsl, dial-up) I used 800 series. But now I can't find anything in this series to solve my issue. There is 815 but it has no wi-fi.
I can use cable modem that my ISP gave to me: this modem acts as bridge so I can use router with FE-based WAN but it is better to have one device instead of two.
I suddenly can't connect to the internet using IE or Firefox every time I try I get the message "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". My connection on my wireless picks up great and shows signal strength as excellent. I took it to a place that was offering free check ups and they said that I caught a virus which I never seen any sign of catching a virus when it worked and that it had wiped out one of my hard drives and they could fix it for $229.00. I don't have that kind of money so I don't know what to do.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI come here today with a problem that has been plaguing this laptop forever and a day. You see, about two or so years ago on this very laptop, it was just another day where I booted up my laptop and was going to get a good day of wasting time on the internet underway. I tried to open Firefox, and I got prompted to download an apparent update for the browser. Obviously I went along with it because it seemed pretty routine and identical to how Firefox had updated in the past.
After the update was all done and dusted, I found myself unable to connect to the internet through Firefox. I would just get a constant stream of "Unable to connect" messages. I thought it might have been a problem on my end since back then I had rather wishy washy internet. So I let it settle for a while. Later on that day I talked to a few of my buddies over Xbox Live and asked if they'd had any similar issues with the new Firefox update because at the time, we all used it and hadn't quite jumped ship to Chrome just yet. But no matter who I asked, I always got the same response "I didn't get any update." Which as you can imagine, confused me quite thoroughly.

View 4 Replies View RelatedAt first I can connect to Internet for 1 min and fails afterwards even if I reconnect to the router. Then I turn on the Access Control settings on my (NETGEAR) router and put my laptop into the trusted wireless stations list, now it can connect to Internet for 1 min and fails however it works for another 1 min if i reconnect to the router. So now I need to reconnect to the router every minute or so.I can connect to the Internet via Ethernet cables, so I am quite sure it's the wireless problem on my router but not the service provider's fault.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using my HTC Desire HD with USB Teethering in an attempt to connect my Desktop computer to the internet.
HTC Sync, drivers, etc are installed onto my Windows 7 x64 Desktop.
However I am only getting an intermittent internet connection. Sometimes the phone & windows play nice (and I can browse the web) and sometimes they don't (which usually results in me browsing the ceiling and cursing!).
Here is an IPCONFIG output from an instance when I was not able to browse the web:
Code: Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 4:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Description . . . . . . . . . . . : HTC Remote NDIS based Device
[Code].....
As can be seen above an I.P. address is being obtained, and Windows knows that a "HTC Remote NDIS based Device" is connected. It simply won't accept the presence of a valid network connection, and as a result it refuses to let me browse the web or do anything remotely useful with the "pseudo-connection".

Yesterday my computer would no longer connect to any internet service.
I called up my internet provider because the "internet" light on my modem was red and he managed to fix that but then my computer could no longer connect to the internet. (just as a note; up until now I have had no issues with connections from my computer to the internet or my home network)
The family computer can still connect to the internet, as can my xbox. My PC can also connect to my home network so I know there is no issue with cables.
I'm not sure where to go from here.
I've looked at similar issues through a few forums but haven't been able to find one exactly the same. The next thing I was going to try was:
start > run > cmd > ipconfig/all > ipconfig/release > ipconfig/renew

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just installed Win7 about a week ago, and everything was going fine. A few days ago though, when I turned on my computer, I wasn't able to connect to the internet (I'm writing this from my laptop When looking at my network settings, I tried clicking on the red "X" across the line to the internet, and I uploaded a litte picture to show you the info I got out of that below instead of my trying to explain it...I'm connecting to a shared network in my block via a cable directly to the wall socket, no router, and as you can see I am able to see some of the others logged on to it, but at the Gateway there's once again that evil red "X".
(not able to see the picture properly myself, so here's a link to it on ImageshackWhen I put the same cable into my laptop though, everything is working just fine, so the problem must be with my stationary computer, but I have no idea what it is.I had the same problem yesterday and called a more technically inclined friend who fiddled around with it for close to 2 hours and all of the sudden it worked again, but we honestly have no idea why. The change occured when we first took the IP/DNS-settings on the netcard away from "auto", which didn't change a thing, and then put it back to "auto" again. That made theconnection pop back on, but it didn't really make us any wiser as to whys you can see on the picture above my network is called "Network 2". It made that automatically when the problems started. I got an old network too which is just called "Network", but I can't seem to make that my active one. I tried merging them the first time around in hope of that working, but that didn't change anything, and as you can see I'm now forced onto "Network 2" again, even though I also this time around has my old "Network" on the list if I go look
I successfully used a wireless network with my PC running windows until I upgraded to a Belkin Play Max wireless router. Once it was installed my PC would connect but go off line almost immediately. I reinstalled the router disc but this only stopped it from connecting, completely. My ipad, iphone, laptop all go online wirelessly without any problem. I tried to connect my PC with an ethernet cable but it wouldn't connect with this either.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI use my PC to connect to the internet wirelessly with a wireless adapter. The connection would drop, then reconnect and stay active for a while, then drop again. The internet, when accessing this connection, would go really slowly. A day or so ago, it began to not even find the connection, and now, when the adapter is plugged in to the machine, it does nothing.I know the adapter can access internet in its current location because a) it has worked here for months, and b) a laptop sitting on the same desk accesses the same router wirelessly. So I don't think the problem is distance from the router.I believe the adapter to be okay, because I used it in the laptop for several hours yesterday and it accessed the internet with no connectivity issues or speed problems. Just in case it was the problem, though, I purchased another adapter and tried that and it did not work in my PC either.The device manager for my PC shows my wireless adapter and internal ethernet card both, with no red X's or !s or yellow warning signs. I assume these would show errors if this was a hardware issue.I'm running Windows 7 on my pc, and just in case it was a software issue (or virus), I reformatted the machine an hour ago. The adapter has been installed, is identified in the device manager, and there is still no connection available.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a sprint mifi device that I use to get on to the internet. Recentlt I purchased a security system with a DVR that only has an ethernet port for internet connection.
So how do I connect the DVR to the internet?
I'm trying to set up some security cameras for work so we can view them remotely via the internet. I'm using a sierra wireless aircard which is connected wirelessly to EDIMAX EW-7438RPn N300 Universal Wi-fi extender, the Wi-Fi extender is then connected by ethernet cable to the DVR. I am able to access the DVR and view video via local connection (192.168.1.4). But we're trying to run through Dyndns.org using the host name Redxdvr.dyndns.org which is updated to my external IP address if it changes at any point.
Reading through the DVR manual and settings on the DVR itself, it uses these 4 ports:
Mobile Port: 18004
Client port: 9000
Http port: 80
Intranet: 8080
I have attempted to forward these ports on the sierra wireless, but when I use [URL] It says the ports are closed. I cannot connect to my DVR though either the client or web browser via redxdvr.dyndns.org. I also attempted to connect my DVR through my home internet on the weekend and noticed that the DVR connected through "Redxdvr.dyndns.org" but I had a different problem, it would take me to my routers home page, even though I had already port forwarded.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI built my 1st PC build about a week ago. It's mostly for gaming, so obviously a solid internet connection is a must, right?I originally planned to have it plugged into a 42' LED TV so that I can make most of my games' graphic capabilities. My primary source for an Internet connection for the PC is a 150mbps USB network adapter, which works fine.. but the network speed is abysmal. A test at speedtest.net revealed the ping was 286, where my ping (when tested right next to the router, up a floor and on the other side of the house) is around 15. Now, most of the router's signal is going outside the house because it's omnidirectional, but it's also right next to the modem and plugged into the main house PC (that I don't use.) What I'm wondering is, how can I connect my PC to the internet with the best possible speed, but also using the largest TV in the house? (Which is also unmoveable?) Otherwise, my only option is to use a smallish but portable 20' TV and connect both it and my PC a floor right below the router, which is fast Internet but also a small display.My budget is rather limited, so I can't afford to buy 100 foot ethernet cables or drill holes into the floor. A wireless repeater may be a good option but still can be rather expensive
