I have an HP Pavilion desktop computer running Windows XP Home Edition. It used to never get internet wirelessly for some reason until one day i played around with it. I don't remember how but I got it to go online and it worked ever since. Just recently i have moved from my previous home and have finished setting up both of our computers. The Vista (the one i am using to write this) is an Ethernet connection and is having no problem connecting to the internet. Although, the XP for some reason will not connect to the internet. The adapter will find the network but when i type in the WPA2 it tries to connect but i think it times out or something. I have tried several solutions and none have worked. My father has a Toshiba laptop and he is currently having no issue with connectiong wirelessly to the internet. Our old verizon router stopped working when we attempted to set it up after the move, so verizon came and istalled a new one. It is secured with a WPA2 code whereas our older one was secured with a WEP code. I think it might be a problem with either the router or the wireless adapter itself (which is a Linksys Wireless-B Network Adapter). Also, when i logged into my router manager thing, I noticed that under the network, it said the XP was an inactive Ethernet Connection and not Wireless.
Here are some of the XP's specs:
Hewlett-Packard Pavilion
Intel[R] Pentium[R]
4 CPU
3.40 GHz
0.99 Gb of Ram
I have three machines that run dos5 and are unable to be networked (for various reasons). I am able to print the screen of each system but I want to share a printer amongst all of them. As it turns out they are on completely seperate sides of the room and a way to setup a seperate computer to act as a print server allowing me to do the following:
DOSBOX-->parallel port-->printserver(computer)-->ethernet port-->networked printe.
My goal is to move the printer to a different room too.
My users are using AnyConnect to make a remote access VPN connections to the corporate office thru an ASA5520. At this time, VPN users have very limited privileges because we allow users to connect using their home computers and RSA tokens.
I need to find a way to determine whether an AnyConnect client is connecting from a company-owned/maintained/patched laptop or some other device. I would like to give full network access to the company laptops while continuing to restrict access to the home machines. So far, the only idea I have is to use DHCP and associate the MAC addresses of the company laptops with addresses is a privielged subnet range.
i have configured some machines into a workgroup. all machines are opening except two machines having windows 7 . they are showing a window for username and password as appears in a domain. how to correct it

I have 3 machines running windows XP, they all belong to my company's domain. These machines have to leave our office but still have to be able to connect to each other and share a few folders on each. I used to do this all the time. I would make sure to turn on the "Server" service, set the windows firewall to allow File and Printer sharing, set the File and Printer sharing setting in the Local Area Connection properties, and set the proper sharing/security of the specific folder. Then as long as each machine used a specific local logon name that was the same on each machine, they would all connect to the shares and work perfectly.However now, I seem to not be able to get any of this to work on machines that have service pack 3. Is there something in sp3 that breaks this?Isn't there a way to still share files on these sp3 machines even though I'm not on the domain? (without changing the domain membership)

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm having problems in a mixed XP Pro (SP3)/Win 7 Pro (64 bit) network getting the XP machines to access data on the Win7 box. The XP machines are connected wirelessly to a D-Link DSL-2640R router modem and the Win7 machine is connected via an Ethernet cable.
Internet access from all machines works perfectly.The two XP machines can see each other either via mapped drives or My Network Places and can access files.The Win7 PC can access data on both the 2 XP machines.All machines are part of the same Workgroup and the network is set up as 'Office' on the Win7 machine.The XP machines can see the Workgroup, including the Win7 machine after I changed the network type from Home to Office, but can not access the data on it.I assume this is a permissions problem on the Win7 machine. I've made the root directory of the HD in the Win7 machine shareable as \Hppro3125hd via Advanced Sharing/Properties and in the Advanced Sharing tab I have set the permissions for Everyone to Full Control.
There is only one user (Garry) explicitly set up on the Win7 machine. I've tried connecting to the Win7HD via a mapped drive on each of the XP machines by logging on as a different user i.e. matching the user name from the Win7 machine but still no joy.Is there an easy to follow step-by-step guide to lead me through the necessary steps to allow the XP machines to access data on the Win7 box?
I have a Windows 7 machine sending shares across the network. Other Windows 7 machines have no problems connecting, but XP machines cannot connect. (Win7 can connect to XP shares).
I have adjust every setting that I have seen to no avail. This includes turning off HomeGroups, turning off password. Removing my password from my user account. Adding "Everyone" to each of the shares. I have even messed with the Local Group Policy Editor to send unencrypted passwords to third party SMB's.
I have installed 4 virtual machines using virtualbox on a windows 7 host and i'm searching how i could connect them so as they can communicate each other.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently added two Win7 computers to my ethernet network (one replaced an older computer, the other has brought the total to 4 machines). The original 2 workstations (XPpro) are fine, but the 2 new Win7 computers intermittently lose internet connection. They remain on the network, just lose internet. The 2 that are having the problem are wired directly to the first router, Linksys WRT160N. The 2 XP computers, that work perfectly, are wired 150 feet away, attached to a Linksys WRT54G used as an access point.The problem is much more severe on one of the new machines, with Win7 Home Deluxe - it stays offline about half of the time. The other, Win7 Pro, is occasionally waxed for 5 or ten minutes. Both use the Win7 default firewall & settings, I've added Avast free anti-virus but no additional firewall software. I have not noted any error messages other than the red X on the networking diagram, and the browser can't find page

I recently acquired a 2509 router that I plan to use as a serial device router. My question is, how do you create the virtual com ports on Windows and Linux machines to point to the TCP address:ports in the 2509 router? Is there software or drivers that do this? Or something third-party?

My network adapters, an 802.11n wireless LAN card and an Atheros AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 PCI-E ethernet controller have no warning triangles or red x's, although the DOS commands tell me I have disconnected media. I went to the ASUS website and downloaded some updates but am afraid to install anything without being 100% certain because the C drive, as on most older eeepcs, is nearly full and I load everything onto D. I've removed the old profile, unplugged and restarted the router. I've reset, rebooted and pinged. After my reboot, I saw a new error message box. The title bar read "RaUI Message" and the text read "Unable to support WiFi Direct feature".

I have the 2wire Gateway modem to connect to the internet on my HP all-in-one desktop computer, which I bought a little over 3 years ago. Occasionally, the computer will show that the internet is disconnected, however the modem will have all it's lights flashing. After attempting several times to get to connect again, I called the support number, and they told me that I would either have to the ethernet cord hooked to the computer or purchase a network adapter. BUT my computer already had a network adapter installed in it before I even bought it, so I don't feel that I need to purchase one and I was able to get it to connect to the internet wireless by myself after hanging up. My question is how to keep my computer from wanting to disconnect from the wireless internet?

View 4 Replies View RelatedNew inspiron 14z would not connect to wireless home network. Area networks appeared, tried to connect to my network (entered password, etc.) and would attempt to connect, but could not. Solution - activate McAfee security center.Products - 2 day old Inspiron 14z (windows 7, intel wi-fi) & Netgear n300 (6 months old, connecting 2 yo inspiron 15, sony bluray, kindle fire, hp photosmart 3500 printer with no issues)
I checked router log in information, firmware updates, cable connections - all okay. So I called tech support and the first cutomer care rep adjusted the power saving settings to "Dell" (was turning off wi-fi adapter to save juice), but that didn't solve issue. He told me that it was probably an ISP/router issue. Eventually I spoke to three other reps and 2 supervisors and was consistently told issue was ISP and/or router. Crankily, I told the last customer care rep that if the issue wasn't resolved, I would return laptop, since everything else was working. (Not nice of me, but that's how I felt. I'm not about to spend an extra $100+ on a router when mine is working fine and my ISP service is fine.) So, that rep agreed to connect to both my new laptop and the older inspiron 15 to find any differences in settings. He then found a solution - McAfee security center. I had not activated it, because I prefer another product, and hadn't uninstalled it before calling. The rep activated it and voila, connectivity. Afterwards, I did uninstall mcafee and installed my preferred security product, and still have connectivity.
