Unable To Network A Pc - Windows 7 To Xp

Apr 12, 2011

I have Windows 7 running on my laptop and XP running on my desktop and I am trying to Network both PC's. I have carefully followed the instructions at the following site http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windo...dows-7-and-xp/ and Network discovery has been 'turned on' on my laptop but when I go to 'Network' on my laptop I cannot see the desktop XP PC. Is it first necessary for me to set up a login password for the desktop XP PC to see the PC on the Network, from the instructions I thought this was only necessary for the Network to remain enabled ie when PC's are restarted?

Windows Was Unable To Connect To Network Name?

Dec 25, 2012

Moved into a new place recently, internet has been working fine until earlier today I closed my laptop and went to make something to eat. When I came back and turned my computer back on, it keeps giving me this message when I try to connect. It doesnt ask for a password, it simply tries to connect for a few seconds before giving up. After waiting a few hours for the problem to fix itself, one of my flatmates got home and told me they are having the same issue. I have tried restarting my computer, turning off my firewall and restarting the modem.

Windows Is Unable To Connect To The Selected Network

Oct 9, 2011

Windows is unable to connect to the selected network." The network may no longer be in range. refresh the list of available networks and try to connect again." Your in range of the network (right in the same room as the wireless access point). And when you refresh the list, the network still shows up there.It seems that it will only connect to Routers which use WEP security and not ones which use WPA. I have looked on the Toshiba site for the Wireless Drivers to see if there is any updated ones and used the Driver Update Utility on Intel's download site and that tells me that the latest wireless driver is installed.

D-Link DIR-825 :: Windows Is Unable To Connect To Your Network

Mar 6, 2013

I recently purchased a DIR-815 D-Link router.  I've set up my network successfully; my laptop and smart phone are easily able to connect.  However my desktop is having issues.  My network card detects the wireless network I have set up, however the password is always rejected.  I am typing in the correct password.  I can get the internet to work on my desktop if I connect the router directly by wire, but I need the wireless to work.  My desktop runs Windows 7.

Can't Connect To Home Network / Windows Unable To Find Certificate?

Jan 5, 2013

I just got back from vacation and suddenly can't connect to my Wifi network at home with my netbook anymore. It says validating identity but never connects. When I try to repair the connection, it keeps authenticating and then says that windows is unable to find a certificate to log me on to the network. I did some googling and it was suggested to uncheck the Enable IEEE 802.1x authentication for this network box under the Authentication tab in Wireless Network properties. I tried that but then I get an error message saying "The network password needs to be 40bits or 104bits depending on your network configuration".I have no idea what to do or what the problem is. My other laptop works fine from which I have set up this network works fine. My phone seems to work fine, too. I already restarted the router and my netbook but that didn't work either.

Windows 7 Unable To Ping Windows XP?

May 20, 2011

My Win7 laptop was unable to ping another WinXP within the same network. When I first got this Win7 laptop, I experienced this problem. The WinXP laptop has no problem pinging the Win7 system. A visiting friend changed the setting on the Win7 laptop and suddenly the two laptops were able to talk to each other. I wiped the WinXP laptop a few weeks ago. Since then, the Win7 laptop is again unable to ping the WinXP. I have googled for many hours now. I tried just about all the methods that make sense to me but still cannot ping from Win7 to WinXP. How I can reestablish communication between these 2 systems on the same network?

Unable To Connect To Internet With Windows 7?

Mar 1, 2012

Basically my desktop computer no longer connects to the internet, and I'll try to describe the problem to you all to the best of my ability.I ran ipconfig /all and it is attached.The problem first started a few weeks back and I haven't been able to get around to it due to school. When trying to connect to my router it will connect with limited connectivity (in other words, at the bottom right of the screen when you check the SSID you're connected to, it will show the signal strength, but it also has a yellow exclamation mark indicating it has no connectivity. When I ran the built-in troubleshooter on it, I received multiple things:

- sometimes: "windows could not automatically detect this network proxy settings"

- sometimes: "no errors detected"

Of course I would've done a system restore long ago,however initially I thought the problem was the adapter so I kept re-installing the drivers, I even went to buy other network adapters to make sure my adapter wasn't the one that was defective (I have an ASUS adapter, the other adapters I've tried were D-Link, and Netgear which is also the brand of my router which is very old). Because of all these installs/uninstalls, the old system restores I had were gone. I have Windows 7 64 bit, I'm using wireless connectivity and cannot try ethernet cable due to the immobility of my desktop and problems it would generate around the house. I've attempted to change the IP address of my network properties of ivp4 to defaults, change the DNS server, check my DHCP, check my services, check my registry, and many other things found on the internet (including resetting with netsh)

Windows XP SP3 - Unable To Connect To Wireless

Dec 1, 2011

So, my computer was having some serious issues, but the internet worked just fine. Me and a friend live in the same building and we're sharing a wireless connection and splitting the cost. I had to reformat my computer (it was windows XP SP3), but when I reinstalled windows it's SP2. I installed the wireless drivers and such, and those work great. However, I try to connect to the network 'Cay13' which is the one I'm sharing with my friend but it won't connect. It will just keep saying 'waiting for the network 'cay13' to connect to the network'. It won't come up with an error, it will just stop and refresh the wireless networks. I will then get a bubble that says 'Unable to connect to preferred wireless networks., Windows will keep trying.' etc... My friend's computer connects just fine so it doesn't seem like it's the router, and I've tried every which way from sunday to configure, connect, uninstall/reinstall the wireless drivers, etc.

Unable To Ping Windows 7 Machine On LAN?

Feb 28, 2011

This is what I have as a setup:BT Home Hub wifi routerPC with Windows 7 Home premium connected via ethernetMacbook Pro with OSX10.6 connected via wifiIt feels like i've tried everything to get this working. As far as I can see the settings are all ok but I've noticed that I can't ping the PC from the mac although I can ping with success the other way around tried traceroute from the macbook and it gives me this so it is able to see it somehow...Code:traceroute to 192.168.1.66 (192.168.1.66), 64 hops max, 52 byte packets 1 alistair-pc.home (192.168.1.66) 1.724 ms * 1.151 msNot sure where to go from here. I think discovering that ping is failing is a good start to diagnose.

Windows 8 And IE 10 - Unable To Use Linksys Login?

Jan 28, 2013

I recently upgraded several of my systems to Windows 8 from XP. This, of course, included the update to IE10.Now, I cannot log into the router on my network via a Windows 8 system. It works fine if I use a Windows 7 laptop or an XP unit, but on Windows 8, when I go to the router's address, it prompts me for the Username and Password. It takes the password, and then immediately comes back and asks for it again. Another weirdness is that it won't exit when I choose cancel - only if I select the red X in the upper right corner of the authentication window.

Windows Is Unable To Connect To The Internet?

Aug 10, 2012

This morning, I tried using the computer and I wasn't able to connect to the Internet. The wireless icon on the bottom had either 1 bar, a caution sign with an exclamation point, or some sun icon. Either way, I could not get to my websites. I don't know why my computer cannot connect to the Internet because my iPad can connect perfectly well as I'm on it right now posting this thread. This is the first time it has happened. A few weeks ago my Internet started getting slower and slower. When it was usually an average of 3 bars, it went down to 2 and stayed that way. I was still able to get to my websites back then however the change in speed was noticeable. Now, it is neither 2 bars nor 3 but 0. y computer because my desktop is upstairs whereas my router is downstairs. With all the cables and such I would just end up messing it up or something. What could I do to fix this problem, it's been like this all day. Is it possible a virus is causing this problem?
