Laptop Can't View Home Networks?
Nov 29, 2011
I'm trying to transfer filed from my laptop to my pc but I'm having problems. First of all both comps are running on windows 7 64 bit. Its weird because out of the 4 computers I have in the house, all of them can see each other EXCEPT my laptop, which cant be seen by any other computers, and when I'm on the laptop I can't see any others.I setup a home network with pass protect off, sharing on etc... on my laptop and no other computer can see it. I think somethings up with the connection though. On this computer I'm on right now, my connection sais "network" and not my actualy connection name. On my laptop, (I have a ethernet plugged in, wireless works also, tried both) when I'm connected it sais Bell~ (my internet name). So my laptop shows my internet name even when its connected through ethernet, but my desktop sais network, not the name

why does my laptop not even show any view wireless networks.In the wireless connection status box, it only says properties, disable but where it should say view wireless networks there is nothing! It is blank. Why is this? And how do I get it to view my wireless networks? I have tried a wireless usb adapter which I use for my other laptop. That usb adapter is comptabile with both WEP and WPA and the computer does not pick up the software. I don't know what else to do.

I have a Dell inspiron that is about 3 years old. About a month ago I wanted to connect to a wireless network, but there were none visible. I was in a coffee shop where I know there was a strong signal, but nothign showed up. I checked with a friend who was with me, and not only was he connected, he could see 5 other networks in the area - I showed none, even though when I put my mouse over the icon in the lower right of the try, I got a message that there were wireless networks available.Even at home, where it connected automatically, if I clicked on view wireless networks, ny own network that I was connected to wouldn't even show up.

I am having some trouble trying to connect to a different network. It seems when I click connect to a network there aren't any networks listed. Now, I know there are networks available near me because I have connected to them before it just seems that now some service or setting is disabled on my laptop that is preventing me from viewing other networks near me. Not sure what it could be but I have tried figuring it out and I couldn't.

What changed on my Win XP wireless network connections, but I used to be able to see about 5 wireless networks in the neighborhood, including mine. Now it only shows mine. Not that I can connect to any of the others (don't have the security codes), but I find it strange that it used to show all of them, but all but my own have suddenly disappeared. Did I check some setting somewhere (that I can't find now) saying to show only the strongest connection?

I'm working off a three-year old HP notebook, dv-2000 series, running Windows 7 Professional, 32-bit.I suddenly lost wireless connectivity. I can still see wireless networks available - unsecured and secured, five-bar signals - but trying to connect to them fails. This is not a matter of connecting to the network but not having internet access, but rather being completely unable to establish any connection.Troubleshooter says Windows is unable to determine anything. It says check the access point, but I cannot connect to any network - home, starbucks, etc. I have reinstalled both network drivers (ethernet and wireless adapter).I have plugged into a wired connection and updated Windows to the most recent set of updates.I've obviously reset the machine, toggled the wireless, etc.I've reset the TCP/IP stack.I've checked that the WLAN service is running, as well as the DNS and DHCP client services. ipconfig says the wireless adapter has DHCP and Autoconfiguration enabled. Device manager says everything is working fine.

A friend of mine had a 802.11b netgear router and all of her computers were running just fine on it so she says. She bought and installed a 802.11n router and bought usb adapters for all her computers and all work, except one, a Dell Optiplex 330 that runs Windows XP.Some drivers were missing such as her Ethernet Controller and a chipset driver but I was able to install those from the Dell website. She had not yet bought a new USB adapter for the computer, I tried using my D-Link adapter and I can see the network in the D-Link connection manager but in Windows when I go to view a list of wireless networks, it doesn't show any. I cannot connect to the network from the D-Link connection manager.

But I am connected to the internet somehow. There is no ethernet cord connected to my computer and the ethernet adapter is disabled. Also, when I add an SSID to my preffered networks list, it appears, but once I click OK, and bring up that same screen, it is no longer there. Yet, I am still connected to the internet. Wireless Zero Configuration is ON, The wireless adapter is ON, I am connected to the internet as I am typing this How do I get Windows to populate those two lists (the preferred wireless networks and available networks lists)?

There are a ton of posts about this issue, and I have tried everything. I have an ASUS Eee 1040 PC with an Atheros AR5700EG wireless network adapter running on Windows XP. I've had the computer for a couple years and it has worked fine, until recently. Using inSSIDer, I can view all wireless networks within range, but using Windows, I cannot connect to any wireless networks. It gives me the message that "No wireless networks were found in range." I had a few hotspots that I would regularly use and they are not showing up in the list of preferred networks. I know for certain that some of the hotspots that are within range are indeed broadcasting their ssid. I can only connect if I manually add a hotspot as a preferred network and configure it with the correct security settings. Even then, viewing available wireless networks gives nothing, and Windows doesn't remember the hotspot. Here is what I have tried:restarted Wireless Zero Configuration service checked windows files haven't changed using sfc /scannow in a command window updated the driver for the wireless adapter rebooted the computer kicked and screamed
What else can I do short of reinstalling windows?

I use a Buffalo Nas LinkStation WXL server to back up my files and data. It has been working perfectly and we have saved some files and data in it.However, we turned it on one day and it had disappeared from the list of Computers on the network and for a while now we haven't been able to get in. It is not showing in the list of Computers in Network and its webpage keeps coming back as "Unable to Connect" or "Taking to Long to Respond".The server is visible on the router's webpage under DHCP Clients List and we can ping the server and get a reply. But none of the laptops on the network can view it neither can I (the administrator) get access to it via its webpage?

I'm going to a LAN party with some friends soon. We've tried to have one many times before but it always fails because we cannot get the computers to link up. The reason for that, I think, is because the host (of the party) has his computer on a home network. I need to know how to get all of our computers talking to each other without making it hard for him to get back on his home network.I have a Linksys WRT54g broadband router that I used to use for internet and LAN on my home network. I currently use a Linksys WRT160N V3, but I was hoping to not have to remove that one... 4 computers at the party will be using Win 7 and the 5th is running XP

What device would be necessary to link two networks of identical type? What devices would be necessary to link two networks of dissimilar types?I would say a network card and HUB for identical type but I do not know if this is correct?Describe the parameters governing the choice of cable type for a given network. What are the three main types of cables used in computer networks?

My home network starts from the ISP/Cable modem to a Belkin wireless router.
A WIN XP box connects via ethernet cable in that room. A second WIN XP box connects via wireless in the next room. A Third box Win7 laptop connects via wireless in another room.
All machines have Internet Web browsing working fine, all machines can see each others shared files and printers across the home network.
Here's where I get creative... I added a fourth box WIN XP via ethernet (LAN to LAN) to the Win7 Laptop. It shows as an �unidentified network� of type Public in Network and Sharing.
Using Shared Internet Connections on the Win7 laptop, the fourth WIN XP now also has Web browsing working just fine across the LAN to the laptop over the wireless and out to the world.
The Win7 Laptop can see shared files and printers on either side of its networks (fourth WIN XP on the LAN side, and first and second WIN XP on the wireless side), and they can see its shared files and printers.
However, the fourth WIN XP on the LAN network won't see the first and second WIN XP on the wireless side. File and printer sharing doesn't see to make the jump across the Laptop Win7 in the middle.
How do I bridge the two networks for file and printer sharing ??

I am running 32 bit Vista Home Basic SP1.I cannot get online. When I hover the mouse over the network icon in the notification area, it reads, "Connection status unknown. The dependency service or group failed to start". When I try to diagnose the problem, I can't because the Diagnostics Policy Service is not running. When I try to Start the service, access is denied (Error 5). Same scenario for the service DHCP Client. When I click on Start/Connect To - I get the msg Windows Cannot Find Any Networks Meanwhile, I keep getting warnings that my firewall is not enabled. When I try to enable it, I get a message that the Security Center can't turn it on.
Windows Firewall is not listed in services.msc.I ran a full Malwarebytes scan and it found nothing wrong. I did a system restore to several days before the problem, but even though the restore completed successfully, it didn't change my (non)results.The Network and Sharing Center does not display the familiar PC monitor icon with a line to the Network and another line going from the Network to the Internet. Instead it just has the word Unknown with the caption the depencency or groiup failed to start I have heard that this might be due to a permissions issue, but when I use regedit and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServices and right click on Dhcp, select Permissions, I get an error when I try to add anything (either Local Service or Network Service).
The msg is c:Windowssystem32adsldp.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again..I have run sfc /scannow as well as chkdsk /f. Scannow reported that it found some problems but was unable to fix all of them. Chkdsk found and corrected about 10 errors, but neither of these programs worked with the issue.Additionally I have downloaded and installed Process Monitor on the PC, but the amount of information displayed is overwhelming, and I'm not sure what to check. Every time I try to start DHCP I get about 200 lines of info on the screen.
When I open a command prompt and run ipconfig /all, I get that DHCP is running, although it is not. I get the bogus ip address of 169.254.... I get a default gateway of zeroes.Is it possible that this behavior could simply be the result of a bad NIC card?Can I possibly run an in-place upgrade from Vista Home Basic to Vista Home Premium? If it's a Dell PC and I have the Dell Premium CD will it ask me for the product key? If so, will the key on the Basic PC work?

I am trying to setup 4 cameras to view with remote live view. I set up my server with IP addresses of 192.168.1.80 .... 85. The screen has only the option for 1 video channel. I have seen on-line screen shots that have options for channel 1 through 8. I want to assign each camera to a different channel so I will be able to use remote live view to show all 4 cameras at the same time. I can only show one at a time. Do I need a different version than 3.3 or some obscure windows 7 setting?

I work in a small village in Africa and Interent access is often very unreliableTherefore I have 3 different ways of accessing the Interent from my home.The cheapest is Wifi from a local provider, but that doesn't always work. More expensive and still often unreliable is a 3G access. Then, when WiFi and 3G don't work I still can access the Internet via a Inmarsat BGAN satellite terminal, but that is very expensive.What I'd like do is to connect several computers to the same WiFi, 3G, BGAN Satellite Interent (all Ethernet) access via a home WiFi network.Now the questions I have:- can I just connect everything to a switch and then to the Wan-port of a wireless router?- how do the prioritisation works? When there is 3G available, I dont want to access the Internet via the BGAN, bacause that's too expensive?

All of a sudden my laptop will not see, much less connect to any networks.I've updated, uninstalled and reinstalled drivers, set BIOS to the default, turned the wireless switch on and off (FN F8 does nothing,) virus checked, trouble shot via windows, etc. I gave up and got a USB wireless dongle and it can't find any networks either! Yes, there are networks available via my router and the USB works on another machine. Both devices show up in DEVMGR with no warnings. Ethernet works fine, that's how I'm now connected.I can do a system reload but I'm hoping not to. It's gotta be software for both devices to not function.?

I've been having this issue for quite some time on my Windows 7 SP3 x64 machine. It's a desktop, connected via ethernet to a TP-Link WR740N router, that also provides wireless coverage. My ISP is a local one (the country is Latvia), and it offers a decent 100 MBps up/down optical fiber internet service. Now for the problem - there is only one home network on my computer, that seems to work, and that is 'Network 2'. Whenever I have to reboot the router for whatever reason, it attempts to reconnect, but sometimes reconnects to a 'Network 3' and once even to a 'Network 4' and 'Network 5'. None of these other networks have internet access. I tried to run the diagnostics tool on the issue, and usually it told me that there's a problem with the default gateway. Additionally, twice I've had the issue of the computer completely freezing when connected to one of the Internet-less networks (eg 'Network 3'), and trying to disable the network adapter, forcing a restart that consequently caused a fail boot - from there on I had to use System Restore to actually get my PC to function.
The way I've been fixing it, apart from random rebooting, reconnecting, and hoping for the best (that it decides it wants 'Network 2'), is by putting in the Resource Mini CD that came with my router, and running the Wizard for the WR740N router. It has 4 steps, the 2nd of which is 'Installing the router' (configuring the network adapter), at which point, my internet starts to work (always connects to 'Network 2'). If, I however, decide to continue this process to the step 'Configure router', and attempt to set up my wireless connection, it will begin to reset itself, and once again connect to 'Network 3', leaving me without internet access.

setting up networks with multiple locations and multiple wireless points.For example: My sisters' home has here modem in her main computer room, it has a Belkin router hooked to the modem. Then a line goes from there to my nephew's room where I tried to expand their network by adding another router. I really just wanted an access point, but they don't seem to sell these as much as they used to. Anyway, I had it working, but it was two different networks, NETWORK1 and NETWORK2. So they had to swap networks when moving around the house. what would be the best hardware setup to provide both sides of the house with some Hardwired access as well as wifi access? Right now, we have two routers, a DIR615 (or something like that) and a Cisco E1000, and again hardwire going from the main computer room to my nephew's room.Also, in my house, I have lots of stuff... I have an Actiontec Router from FIOS, feeding a small hub as well as a switch in my main room. Which then feeds a Ps3, Wii, laptop, Denon reciever, and Access Point... and also feeds my Apple TimeCapsule, which also feeds my printer. My wireless devices range from cameras, iphones/ipads, and a wifi unit (I forget what it's called, but it connects my DVR wirelessly to my network, and the DVR itself doesn't have wifi).
my question about my setup is, should everything be on one network... as in let the ActionTec handle most of the duties and use switchers and accesspoints to extend the network. Should everything be on the same wireless network and channels? Like if I used my access point to extend, do I want the same settings as my main wireless router, and would that be the same for the Apple Airport Extreme?Also, does having all these wireless networks going create any kind of hinderance on my performance. For example, the PS3 has some sort of wifi in it... it produces a SSID, but I never connect to it. Should I make sure that's off? And in my main room, should I go with just the AirPort extreme over using it and the Wireless Access point.

Recently, I have found out that my laptop is unable to find any networks. I started using what I believe to be an ethernet cable to connect my laptop to the internet because it was faster than wireless. But when I removed the cable and try to connect wirelessly, the computer states that there are no wireless networks in range. I know the wireless adapter is broadcasting because my sister can connect wirelessly to the internet. My WiFi is on, but I can't find any networks.

I'm running Win 7, 64 bit on a Toshiba X505.My internal card no longer sees any networks (Realtek RTL8191se) even though DevMgr says it's running with current drivers which I've updated.I bought and installed a USB wireless dongle with the same results. My Ethernet connection works fine.IPCONFIG doesn't seem to recognize the card.I have a good strong signal and the Trendnet dongle works well on another machine.

About a week ago my laptop stopped connecting to the internet for no apparent reason as it had connected just fine the night before. It's a Toshiba and the wireless router I use is a belkin. Every other wireless device from my brother's laptop to my Ipod can connect to the internet just fine. Even the PC connected to the router via ethernet cable can get online. I've tried unplugging the modem, resetting my IP address, directly connecting with an ethernet cable to the router, and resetting my router. My internet browser, IE, used to freeze up but I had a friend look at and he only managed to have it unfreeze[CODE]

My laptop can see available networks, but is unable to connect to any of them.I have run Microsoft Security Essentials and the scan comes back fine, ran CC Cleaner as well as Malware Bytes and those scans both come back fine as well.I have also re-seated my wifi card, as well as attempted a TCP/IP stack repair option.However none of these fixed my issue. What could be preventing my laptop from connecting to a network? I have also tried to boot into Safe Mode w/ Networking, and the pc is unable to connect there either.I have also disabled all security on my router, it is just an open network no security, broadcasting the SSID.
