Wireless Switch On But Computer Says Its Not Enabled
Mar 27, 2013
I have a Sony Vaio and it has been working fine and it Suddenly just disconnected itself from the wireless connection. I did troubleshoot and it fixed itself but it done it again minutes later and simple said a cable was disconnected. I restarted the laptop and it came on fine but it disconnected again and has not worked since. I have gone into the wireless connection settings and it says wireless isn't enabled. The switch is on and illuminated. I've switched it on and off. I have also done a system restore from a previous update just to be sure but there is no change?
I recently entered the realm of wireless networking for my desktops and was able to connect my personal desktop successfully. Unfortunately, the other desktop I really need to make wireless is having difficulties. The computer never shows the message that a new device is discovered/installed. The adapter shows up under hardware devices and functioning properly but this is not the case. I installed the driver from the included CD but when I use Windows to troubleshoot, it says that the driver and adapter aren't working. When trying to set up a new network, I get a grayed-out wireless icon in the system tray and can't proceed. I disabled the firewall and antivirus so I could start over, uninstalling the driver, restarting and installing again.
Trying to authenticate a Wireless 1242 AP to a switch port with Dot1x enabled. It seems like the switch can't get the mac or doesn't ever start authentication for the port when I plug in an ap. The ap is configured to pull dhcp on start for fa 0, however never gets an address, even though the port should fail into guest network after auth fails.Any thoughts,, a debug only shows this...
*Mar 1 00:19:27.127: %IF-3-VLAN_NOT_CONFIGURED: Received dot1Q VLAN tagged packet on interface which does not have VLAN configured.
I might fancy having my desktop stay in a sleep state, waking whenever I need to access it for a file or something, so I tried to use WOL. The nic and bios support it, however when I enable it...
The machine only stays off off for 5-10 seconds at a time. I think this is because instead of waking from only a magic packet, it is waking from ANY packet.
Document at url... is quite interesting,One of these goes about the behavior of a switch (2960-S and 3750G) when QoS is not enabled vs the one when QoS is simply enabled with "mls qos".What additional commands, beside "mls qos", would be needed so as to simulate as accurately as possible the switch's behavior when QoS is not enabled?
I have enabled syslog on my Cisco 2960S swtich as shown below -
-logging facility local6 -logging host 10.11.12.122 transport tcp port 514
I have sent the port to TCP since that is what is configured on the SYSLOG server which is a CENTOS 5.8, running rsyslogd.I have tested the rsyslogd locally and it work.However i want to send any and all log messages in the buffer to my syslog server and it is not working.there is no firewall on the CENTOS and the ASA firewall filter is enabled for outgoing traffic.
am running a sony vaio VGN_B1XP using windows xp proffesional. My problem is every time I switch my wireless lan switch on my computer trips off it flashes a blue page of writing that I do not have time to read. It then reboots itself.
my wifi was suddenly disappear, and im trying to fix it but in manage wireless network its stated that "wireless is not currently enabled", i reinstall the driver of the wlan but still it doesnt work. even on device manager in network adapter there is no wireless icon.
I would like to allow a single computer to easily operate laser scanners one after another. A single laser scanner can create an ip address for it's "network" that a computer can connect to through an ethernet cable.Is it possible to connect a computer to the input port of a switch and to connect the laser scanners to the multiple output ports, then individually access the ports by connecting to each laser scanner's respective ip address?
We have 2 internet providers and I would like to find some way to switch our 5 computers between the 2 internets without having to unplug the ethernet cables everytime someone wants to switch. Is there some type of switch we can buy for each computer to do this or is there no such thing?
I bought a "Nexxt Solutions 8 ports Ethernet Switch" and it only allows me to use the internet on the first computer that I plug into one of the Lan ports. I get a Limited Connection MessageI did some research and found something about a DHCP Server and automatic IP assignment, but I can't find a comprehensive tutorial on how to setup this.I'm sure the solution is simple.
I'm trying to use MRTG and SNMP on a Windows Serveur 2008R2.I want to manage my Switch with mrtg, but it don't show me which computers or server are connected to the Switch's ports.All I have, in the .cfg file is the interface name ( like S0/0 ), which are useless for me, I would like to get IP adresses or hostname but mrtg doesn't seems to do it.Any of you know if Mrtg can do that ? or maybe there are some others ways to do that ?
We have a standard modem/wireless setup that has worked fine for years. Last month, my sister brought her laptop over and, for some unknown reason, choose "set up a connection or network" and unknowingly changed the setup to a security enabled network. I have no idea why she couldn't just log on without any problem. She has the same modem at her house, and I have no problem logging on at her house. Anyway, it now asks for a password, and she swears she never entered one. I can go online if I plug in an ethernet cord but that means my laptop can only go online at my desk. And I cannot use the internet features on my ipod touch. Is there a way to reset the modem back to a regular unsecured setup?
I have windows 7 PC. On the normal bases it has 3 internet connections 2 wireless and 1 hardwired. The 2 wireless are used for internet access and the hardwired is for my LAN through my router. The wireless connections are throught ATT mobile devices. I use my lan to share files through PC in my household and it has no internet access. The problem is that whenever I have all 3 of these connections connected windows always sees the hardwire connection as internet access so I can't use the internet even if my 2 other wireless connections are enabled. However, If I disable the Local area network connections and the leave 2 wireless connections enabled I have internet again.is there a way to just make windows use the hardwired connection as local and use the wireless connections for internet?
I am having trouble with my wifi, just got my Dell Inspiron 11z back and it was set to factory. now when its starting up i hit F2 for settings and it reads
My Toshiba laptop running Vista as an operating connects just fine to the wireless network at my house. However, I will soon be house-sitting at a house that also has security-enabled wireless available. I connect just fine at my house, but whenever I put in the password at their house it says that that it cannot connect because of a timeout. I can't figure out what the problem is, because I recently went to the public library that has wifi and got on just fine. why in the world it will not connect to this specific wireless router??
I am on BrightHouse cable internet and running a Netgear WGT624 v3 wireless router and WPA-PSK + WPA2-PSK. Computer1 is the only computer on the network at present and is connected via CAT5 cable. No wireless computers here are turned on.If I enable wireless radio, my SpeedTest (www.speedtest.net) is consistently 2- to 3 Megs slower than when wireless is turned off. I have run this comparison over a dozen times spread out over about a 14 hour period.
Brand new MSI system using windows 7. we're using a wirless network in the house, and up until today it's been fine. Randomly, Windows is no longer detecting any networks.
I've confirmed there is no prob with the router or signal as I can detect the network in my room and connect to the internet (using a homeplug hardline). I've tried enabling and disabling both the router and wireless card, a system restore (windows made no changes), and when I came to use the windows 7 troubleshooter - it says the device is not enabled?
ive recently bought a tcl internet enabled tv. I have tried connecting it to the wireless network and it keeps giving me an error that the "connection failed due to timeout".
I've a 2106 WLC and the software is upgrade to 7.0.220.0. There are 3 APs with external power adapter work normally on it. Here is the problem: There is another AP with external power adapter has join the the WLC successfully. But it can not enable the radio 802.11b. Following is the error message on CLI
(Cisco Controller) config>802.11b enable AP001d.a1ef.b5f4 Cisco AP has not enough in-line power to enable radio
I seem to have a problem with my Dell DW1520 wireless LAN card installed on a Studio 1747 laptop.The LAN card seems to have a mind of its own and is rarely enabled at start up. Repeatedly restarting the laptop a few times somehow magically enables the network card though.When disabled, I can see the red cross on the task bar (network connection). The network card is not even detected and is not visible in device manager. However, when I restart the laptop a few times, the bars appear, the LAN card appears in device manager and I can connect to the wireless network.
I logged a call with Dell Technical support for this and a different issue (BSOD and restart). They replaced my motherboard and asked me to monitor the situation. While the BSOD/restart issue seems to have disappeared with the motherboard replacement, the wireless LAN card issue still remains. The person that came to install the motherboard also tried installing new drivers for the LAN card but that hasn't worked. Dell tech support now say that I must reinstall the whole Operating System (Windows 7), drivers etc from scratch.
Does the wifi switch have to be on for a bluetooth device to connect with this computer? That is the only way I can get it to connect, but I have been told, maybe in error, that you shouldn't have to have the wifi on to do so. When my wireless adapter switch is on, my bluetooth device does connect to the computer but in the Windows Mobility Center it does show the bluetooth icon even though it is showing up in the taskbar.
I just upgraded to GS605 Netgear gigabyte switches on my network, and I use Cat 5e cables, so I can use the gigabit Ethernet.
One of my Windows PCs seems to have a very slow connection. I see an active 1K link on the switch for this port, and Windows reports that the link is running at 1 Gbps, but the computer takes 3-5 minutes to load Amazon.com and has ping times on the order of 700 ms.
I have another Windows 8 PC that works perfectly fine, and I have a Mac mini which is also connected to the switch and works fine.
If I take the Ethernet cable from the messed up computer and connect it directly to the router (not the switch), it is fast again. However, connected to the router, I'm back to 100 Mbps speeds, not gigabit speeds.ipconfig gives the following output:
-Hostname: my computer's hostname -Node type: hybrid -IP routing enabled: no -WINS proxy enabled: no -IP address: my computer's DHCP address -MAC address: my computer's MAC address -Default gateway: my router's IP -DHCP server address: my router's address -IPv6 address: something long (I'm not familiar with IPv6 addresses) -Various tunneling adapters, which are all disabled
I have had other computers in the same port on the switch and they all work fine. I also plugged this computer into a different port and had the same problem. Netgear tech support wasn't useful.I actually have another switch of the same model, but when I replaced this one with that one, it had the same problem.
I confirmed gigabit speeds between two other computers, both connected to this switch, so it does work at those speeds. Those computers also have fast Internet.I don't have any clones MAC addresses in my network, and as for logs.... the only place I can think is the log file from the router. I didn't even think of that, the only other place would be event viewer within windows.This computer dual boots Windows 7 and Windows 8, and has these issues in both OSes.
My wife and I Security Enabled our wireless network several months ago.We recently moved, and after transferring Internet service, we realized we'd lost our passkey.My wife's laptop has, after one failed attempt to connect to the network, refused to even show the network as an available connection.We currently have the router set to broadcast SSID.We have restored factory settings on the router and completely revamped the security setup.We've removed all other networks in the area as optional connections on her computer.We also replaced the ethernet cord to my desktop because the old one started erratically disconnecting.Nothing's worked.My wife's computer is a Dell laptop using Windows Vista.
I was trying to port fwd my RDP and then I ended up getting side tracted and changed my routers password [URL] it would cause my router to stop working. I know my adapter is fine, because I can connect to the internet via wired connection. My wifi DHCP is not enabled however and I have no clue on how to enable it.

I just recently setup a network in my home and selected the D-Link DIR-655 router to manage traffic. It's not clear to me when this issue first appeared as I've been away so apologies for not having a proper timeline.The router is setup in it's default configuration with only the IP Address being changed due to a conflict with my DSL modem. I don't have any experience with routers and it seemed to be working fine so I didn't mess with it.However, the router goes into what appears to be an endless series of reboots making it completely unusable. This can occur anywhere from immediately upon a cold start power to a few hours into it.I suspected a defective router and since I had been traveling the warranty was of no use so I purchased a brand new router last week which is also a DIR-655. The new router is doing exactly the same thing as the original one.
If I disable the wireless functionality both routers perform flawlessly for extended periods (many days/weeks). As soon as I enable wireless what appears to be warm start reboots begin as mentioned anywhere from immediately to a few hours along.Since I am new to networking in general and routers in particular I thought perhaps am I doing something wrong and hence my post here.The f/w in the new router is 204NA. I don't recall the f/w release of the initial router but I did update it within the last month to whatever was the most current from D-Link. If it's important to know the f/w release of the initial router I will find it for you.
Two (2) DIR 655 routers appear to enter a state of perpetual warm start reboots whenever wireless functionality is enabled. This begins anywhere from immediately to a few hours after a router cold start.Disabling the wireless functionality completely stabilizes both routers.
Ever since I bought the E4200 months ago I had no wireless network between my laptops. pc's devices. I discovered now that I do have network (everything cool) when I disable NAT. That is all nice, but I don't have internet then.
Wireless doesnt get enabled on pressing fn+F2 key, it turns on for a fraction of a second signified by the sound but it again sounds and turns off.Just cant get it enabled...Is there any other way to turn it on, on my Inspiron 1545?
I've an Inspiron 1521 with Dell wireless minicard 1505, running Vista that was running fine except for 'BCM42RLY service failed to start, can't find file' messages logged in the event log, so I thought I would stop that by uninstalling the device driver and re-installing a later version. So I *deleted* when I did the un-install (didn't want any nasty bits left behind) and re-installed the later R174292 drivers. Install went ok, and device manager likes it too, no nasty exclamation marks and it does say "This device is working properley"! On dear, the Dell Wireless WLAN Card Utility tells me different, it says "There are currently no wirelss adapaters available and enabled". When you try to 'connect to a network' it too reports "Windows cannot find any networks".
Done "SFC /scannow" just in case, and no probs reported.
I seem to have deleted something really important when I nuked the driver, that R174292 did not replace? Needless to say I cannot roll back the driver! And, just to be sure, that little 'ole network switch on the side of the 'old lappie is firmly ON!
I have a Dell Inspiron 8500 Laptop with the Dell Truemobile 1300 WLan mini PCI Card.I have tried uninstalling and re- installing the Driver from the Dell website. I have install Network Stumbler and it keeps saying "No Aps Active.I Have MZC and Dellwirless turned off so that they will not conflict with NS.I have tried the FN + F2 keys and neither worked the FN and other keys work just fine.I have just completed a fresh install of Windows XP Pro as the old OS got corrupted.
I have a laptop that is running windows 7 premium and a desk top that is running xp pro. The laptop is connected to the internet but the desktop is not. I have them set up in a ethernet network through an RJ-45, and both are connected, but I can't seem to share the laptop's internet connection with the desk top. I've enabled internet sharing with the wireless network, but my desktop still cannot connect.
My router is running the stock 1.21 firmware and it has been fine for almost a year before the wireless suddenly stopped working. I reset the router and restored my previous configuration. After the reboot, the SSID is visible and I can connect to it but there is no internet connection. Also the router becomes unresponsive, i.e. timeout trying to access the router configuration page. After trying out different settings it seems that enabling WPA2+AES is the cause.In the mean time, I am running an open wireless network and everything seems fine. Is the hardware faulty? I am reluctant to update the firmware because of a negative experience with another router (same model).
