I've just set up a new wireless network with wpa-psk security. So when I attempt to connect to my network I type in the new network key, and im connected.
But once in a while the internet stops working.... even though I am still connected to my network! it says my connection strength is excellent.
So i disabled my network and double clicked on the network to connect again, but I realize that the network key is automatically typed for me and all i have to do is click connect. But the weird thing is the network key automatically typed is the wrong key.. its not the network key i set up. I know this because my network key is longer than the one displayed.
What the hell is causing this and how can i fix it? Is this whats not allowing the internet to work?
My network key is acting weird?
Your computer is operating properly.
Your network key is right. The different length of the stars "*" from your actual key length is to protect your key security. This is done intentionally so that someone who happens on your unattended computer cannot get any hints to your key. Length would be a very big hint in cracking the key.
You do not need to re-type. Try it.
Reply:your local network connection has nothing to do with the internet. If you want to use the wireless router as your internet connection here is how you do it if you have dsl. If you hard reset your dsl modem it will be in bridge mode. In your wireless router setup on the main page which is the first page you see and set the connection type to PPPoE enter your username and password most tell you that you are connected or not. Onto the wireless key part. You can change the key in the wireless utility you can also set it manual or automatic.

Printer network password? How do I change the privliges of a client computer in a network?
When I try to access files from my host computer (in the network) on the client computer (in the network), it says this:
\\(host computer name) is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.
The network name cannot be found.
I'm not sure, but I also think this is why I can't get my client computer to be able to print in the network (printer is connected to the host). I do add printer, and go to the network, let it find the printer, It finds it fine, then I select the printer, click next, then a password pop-up thing comes up. My host doesn't have a password at all XD... how do I fix all this?
I have all the computers in the network under control, and I think the computer who makes the network is the administrator, right? there are only two computers on the network. So I think I'm administrator... I just need to know how to change it from the administrator PLZ

R u sure this is a permissions issue %26amp; not something to do with your domain.
Can you access the target print server by IP address?
If you get the same result, but, have confirmed the server is up %26amp; running fine ( MS File %26amp; Print Sharing running OK, server pingable on the network, etc. ); then it may be either a local policy issue on the server, or a share permissions issue.
If you are in a domain environment, check domain policy to ensure your machines %26amp; users have sufficient rights to access the server from the network %26amp; the printer is shared to the correct groups.
If you are in a workgroup scenario, either create suatable local user accounts on the print server %26amp; share accordingly, or, share the printer to the Everyone group.
You could also try connecting to the web printing connection. See if that works.
Hope this helps

Reply:I had the same problem on time with the user name and password thing when trying to connect to a networked printer. It was hell trying to fix.
In the end I found out the problem was the computer had a duplicate name as another computer in Active Directory. I had to remove the computer that hosted the printer from the domain then delete the computer that hosted the printer from Active Directory.
I then renamed the computer and joined it back into the domain where it created a profile in the computers OU from there I browsed the network again found the printer and connected to it no problem.
The way I seen that it had a duplicate name was from the Network Neigborhood panel and drilled down then read the computer names and seen the match.
I really hoped this helped because I found no good solutions on the net and it took me forever to figure it out.

Wireless network internet connection problem!!! I need HELP!!!?
Okay, I bought a new Compaq/HP laptop with Vista Home Premium on Sunday and everything works fine except I can't connect to my wireless network. It's my cousins wireless network Iand it's an unsecure wireless network and even though my computer finds the network and picks it up it says connect to network. I click connect to network and it starts to connect and then stops and says Windows failed to connect and then says diagnose the problem and then says something like this:
"Windows can't connect to network ********** because it hasn't received a response from the wireless router or access point"
However if I plug the eternet cable into my laptop the internet works fine but I can't connect to it wireless. My cousin however can connect to the wireless network with no problem.
I can connect to a lot of other wireless networks however such as the school library and other unsecure networks though
Can someone please help me get my computer to connect wirelessly to the network.
Wireless network internet connection problem!!! I need HELP!!!?
If you are able to connect to other wireless routers without a problem then there is most likely a setting on your cousins router (such as not broadcasting the ssid or something)...have your cousin double check the settings on the router..
if the router is not using any protection then he can hit the reset button to reset it to manufacturer defaults and this should correct a wrong setting.
I highly reccommend setting the wireless security on and configuring yourprofile with the key.. it will connect without a problem and will still connect to the other sites.
good luck.
Reply:Hi,
I can have a look at your laptop remotely if you prefer. You will need to connect the Ethernet cable for the time I fix it up. Then you will be able to enjoy wireless.

Could be a security issue with vista ??
Try installing this program and see if it can connect you
Free version ( after 7 days ) is fine

The fellow above caught it
Your cousin router may well have the security setting ( encryption on)
Someone previous put the wep key permanently into this nube's computer and he is not even aware there is encryption
When you try to log on does it ask for the security ( most likely wep) key
You have to enter it twice usually
If you cannot find out
Download network stumbler
If you a lock in the green round icon ( under the word mac)
that indicates that the encryption is on

Reply:It sounds very much like it's an issue with your cousin's wireless router. You said you can connect to other wireless networks but not this one. For some reason it is not talking to your computer and thus not establishing a connection. Make sure that it really is an unsecure connection.
Reply:It may be that your cousin's wireless router isn't set up to issue additional ip addresses.
When the router is setup for wireless, it can be setup to issue a range of addresses behind it. Have your cousin check the DHCP settings. My guess is if s/he sets a broader range of ip addresses to be issued, you'll be set.
Good luck!
Reply:You say the wired input works with you laptop but the wireless does not and that your wireless ethernet card works elsewhere?
The differences.
1.) Wireless used WEP or not check it.
2.) Wireless routers usually have an option to only respond to a known IP list. I use this option myself because it only takes a few minutes with a fast computer to obtain the WEP code.
Check that if this option is used that your laptop is a recognized user.

How to set up a wireless network...?
So I wish to set up a wireless network to enable both a PS3 (which I have) and a PVR (which I am about to purchase) to stream media from my laptop.
I am a massive noob in this area so any help would be greatly appreciated.
This is the equipment I have:
Laptop, which has neither internal wireless or Bluetooth capabilities. It does have an Ethernet connection and it also has a connection which has the words "Expansion Port 2" written near it (if that means anything re what I am trying to achieve.)
Netgear 4 port wireless router connected wirelessly to my laptop through a 54 Mbps wireless pc card (wg511 v2)
Windows XP Home edition.
Ps3 with wireless and Bluetooth capabilities. I already have this connected to the internet through the wireless router. (just not the media server thingy.)
Windows Media Player 11 (apparently this is used in regards the PS3 media sharing)
-------------------
I will tell you what I have attempted so far and you can chuckle out loud for a while then see if you can help me out :)
I clicked on control panel%26gt;wireless network setup wizard%26gt;ok%26gt;set up a new wireless network.
I give the new network a name and leave it checked on "automatically assign a network key"
Now it asks how I want to set up my network.
It recommends using a USB flash drive which I tried first of all and it put some kind of setup program on there. It then said to put the drive in the wireless access point, then the other computer (which I assume can also be the PS3) and then finally back into the host computer.
The first hurdle I came across was the fact that the wireless router I have does not have a USB port!
At this point I am starting to wonder whether I have all of the required equipment (perhaps some sort of networking specific hardware is missing?)
Still that is what you are all for!
I decided to come at this from a different angle so I go back to where it recommends using the USB drive to continue with the network setup.
There is another option which says "set up a network manually."
When I choose this option it says "Depending on the wireless software running on this computer, the wireless network setup wizard might not work.”
It then would not allow me to go any further.
This confuses me momentarily till I try another option and it makes more sense…
I go to control panel%26gt;network connections%26gt;new connection wizard
Near the bottom of this next page it has a hyper link to “view wireless networks in range.”
When I click on this it goes to a page which says “choose a wireless connection.”
But in the panel it says “windows cannot configure this wireless connection. If you have enabled another program to configure this wireless connection, use that software. If you want to use windows to configure this wireless connection click “change advanced settings,” click the wireless connections tab then select the check box labeled “use windows to configure my wireless network settings.”
When I do exactly this and then click on “view wireless networks” it comes up with a warning. “You have made changes to the properties of this connection. If you proceed your changes will be lost. Do you wish to proceed?”
At this point I panic that I will lose my current wireless internet connection and instead ask the experts (that’s you.)
Does the fact that my pc connects to the wireless router through some sort of Netgear proprietary software factor in here?
So can I do this thing wirelessly? If not can I do it with cords and if so how would I achieve that?
Thanks so much for your help.
Ok so I have an update:
When I was initially attempting all of the above I was connected to the internet wirelessly through the wireless pc card as I was doing it.
I swapped from the wireless connection to the Ethernet connection and tried the: control panel%26gt;wireless network setup wizard%26gt;ok%26gt;set up a new wireless network thing.
This time I by-passed the recommended USB option for the "set up a network manually." Option.
Whereas before it gave me this warning, "Depending on the wireless software running on this computer, the wireless network setup wizard might not work.” Now it let me go through and asked me to print out a set of network settings which were to be entered into the host computer/router and the other computer (ie. PS3)
I printed out the settings but am reasonably clueless as to where exactly to enter them.
Is it though the little Netgear icon in the system tray? Where on the PS3? Where on the host computer?
Again I apologize for the noobness but we all have to start somewhere right?
Pete.
How to set up a wireless network...?
first, enter your router by typing 192.168.1.1 in your browser's address bar. you can configure your router there. this by the way is a manual configuration. enable security in the wireless security tab and make sure to remember the keys or passwords you will use. let the pc's and ps3 detect the wireless signal and connect them by keying in the required passwords. these should be able to detect one another in the network once they are connected.
its done!

Wireless network internet connection problem!!! I need HELP!!!?
I had the exact problem and only just got it fixed. After calling microsoft and going through a lot of .. well we'll skip that. They told me I had to update my router's firmware version.
I don't know if other routers have the same issue, but my guess is this is the problem. If you don't have a westell you have to contact your Internet Service provider to find out how to do this.
If you do have a westell, I can walk you through what I did.
Click on this link.
http://support.dell.com/support/topics/g...
now open a new browser window (keep the other one open)
First of all, you have to find out what your current firmware version is.
If you have another computer on the same network, check the connection status. (right click your active connection and select Status) you need the Default Gateway number.
Once you find your Default Gateway number, type it into your internet browser.
this should give you the low down on your router.
I selected (Status) -%26gt;(About)
in this list of info should be your current firmware version
example:
VER:03.00.63a
your version number matches the one on the dell support page, you need to update.
ON THE DELL SUPPORT PAGE is a link, several lines below the pdf file, download a firmware update.
or you can just follow this link.
http://download.verizon.net/webdownload/...
run the program.
this should update your firmware version.
I know that was all slightly confusing.
so if you have more questions just drop me a line.
I'm going on a trip for the week and I'm not sure if I'll find a hotspot so I'll check tomorrow before I leave.
Hope this at least pointed you in the right direction!

now open a new browser window (keep the other one open)
First of all, you have to find out what your current firmware version is.
If you have another computer on the same network, check the connection status. (right click your active connection and select Status) you need the Default Gateway number.
Once you find your Default Gateway number, type it into your internet browser.
this should give you the low down on your router.
I selected (Status) -%26gt;(About)
in this list of info should be your current firmware version
example:
VER:03.00.63a
your version number matches the one on the dell support page, you need to update.
ON THE DELL SUPPORT PAGE is a link, several lines below the pdf file, download a firmware update.
or you can just follow this link.
http://download.verizon.net/webdownload/...
run the program.
this should update your firmware version.
I know that was all slightly confusing.
so if you have more questions just drop me a line.
I'm going on a trip for the week and I'm not sure if I'll find a hotspot so I'll check tomorrow before I leave.
Hope this at least pointed you in the right direction!

Network........?
Hey I am running windows xp pro on every machine, now i'm wondering now i've made a network up.... How can I acsess my account on every computer, so I have the same login on every comp and files.....ect.
Network........?
I think what you're looking for is something like a domain logon, in which everyone has an account, and anyone can logon to any machine across the network, and have access to all their drives and files.
If this is the case, you'll need a copy of Windows Server (NT, 2000, 2003), and configure it for domain access. The server will need to be a dedicated machine. Such a machine usually stays on all the time, since servers generally don't shut down. All settings for the users are stored on that server.

Reply:No need to set up a server - use Remote Desktop Connection (already in Win XP) Report It
Reply:Install a windows server and create a roaming profile.
or
Install a linux server running samba and use that for the roaming profile
Reply:On a home network like this (peer to peer) you would have to create an account on every machine. You would also have to share the files that you want available on each machine. Another way to do it would be to have a server running some type of server operating system and store the files on it. Then join all your machines to the server's domain and create a server account that you could use to log in to any machine on the network and access the server files. Hope that helps.
Reply:You will need to create an account on every computer with the same name and password. You also need to get a hub, switch or router (I go with the router).

Network???
There is no way to do that. You can try manually changing it, but you'll end up getting detected. Don't jack other people's internets.

Network +?
I planning to get A+. then MCSE and CNA, do i need Network + before MCSE? does it help?
Network +?
Does it help what? Getting a job? Getting the other certs? Maybe a little... every credential you have will help a little because it will show potential employers that you have a clue (not much more than that - certs really don't do much more than get you in the door today - I certainly wouldn't hire someone based on certs). It doesn't help you with the other certs though EXCEPT in that a little of what you learn will probably help you in the others.

Alright, we have a network of 4 computers, lets say PC A is the host, PC B, C, and D are other computers. Is there a way to make PC D not have Internet access while B and C still have it, but D still is able to access certain things like network places, etc. Their all wireless.
I dunno much about setting permissions, thanks.
Network ??????
You might be able to go into your router's configuration and there should be a place to grant or deny access to the Internet. You should be able to do this by MAC address or IP address if you are not using DHCP. If you disable the network connection then you will also lose all of your networking capabilities.
