Upgrade from their factories without proper testing. The SSID is being broadcast. I can see it and connect to it with no difficulty from my MacBook Pro, but Windows can't see it?
Maybe Microsoft has finally realized that the only way to make Windows secure is to keep its users off of networks. It sounds like your making the connection, but what ever your connecting to wants you to authenticate before allowing access like a Private Network behind a Firewall, maybe a Neighbor's Network, etc..
I'm trying to connect my father-in-law's brand new Windows laptop to his wireless network. The network has no password, no encryption, and it's broadcasting the SSID. I have no difficulty seeing or connecting to it with my MacBook Pro without authenticating. Check with the manufacturer to see if the latest driver is installed for your Network card. Also check the support knowledge base and forums of the manufacturer to see if other users are having the same problems.
You may find a solution. I spent about an hour online chatting with HP tech support. They kept giving me instructions that didn't make any sense for this model e. They sent me a bunch of urls to get the drivers, and I had to remind them that I couldn't download anything to the Compaq because it didn't have a network, and downloading them to my Mac wouldn't do me any good because I couldn't install them on the Compaq because I had no way to get them onto the Compaq because it doesn't even have bluetooth—not that I would be able to get it to work even if it did.
So then they said I should try restarting the Compaq and hitting F8 as soon as the red Compaq logo appeared to get some kind of setup menu. This turned out to be very amusing. First of all, can you believe how freaking difficult they've made it to find the restart command in Vista???? Holy crap! It took me about three minutes to find it! Then, after the reboot, the Compaq logo appeared, but it was white, not red. So as I'm wondering when the red one is going to show up I realized that Windows was already starting up, so I have to restart it again.
Windows starts up again. So another restart, and this time I try holding down F10, because there's a message on the screen that says something about holding down F10 to get some kind of setup menu. So when the menu appears I start looking around for this "last known good configuration" thing they said to look for. But it's nowhere to be found. So at this point I'd decided I'd wasted about enough time with Compaq tech support, who obviously haven't got a clue about how their products actually work, and with this cocked-up abortion of an operating system.
So I told my father-in-law that the obvious solution to his problem was to return this POS laptop and go get a MacBook. The next time someone tells me they're having trouble with a Windows computer I'm just going to say, "I'm sorry to hear that. That's interesting. I remember seeing that option somewhere, and it was checked, but I thought IP v6 support should be standard on any new laptop. Macs have had it for years. They're useless. They don't even list this model on their site.
I swear there is no EF or EM on the sticker on this machine or in the system info in firmware. It's not. I can see it on the Mac in the Airport menu. I don't even have to run Kismet to see it. But in Vista, it keeps telling me that the settings aren't valid for a network.
Vista cna see the network but not connect to it. It really wants me to import the settings using a USB flash drive, so I did that. I also tried every entry manually. The settings that work on XP and are exported to my flash drive or printout for manual entry are:.
In Vista, however, these options aren't selectable this way. For instance, with an open network authentication type, WEP is not a selectable option. Key index is driven to 1, 2, 3, or 4, but not a zero or blank. How can I connect from Vista to a working encrypted wireless network, that it can see, that my XP computes can connect to?
I've tried every option of every menu multiple times. I even tried to reset my router back to store values to start unencrypted and start fresh, but I could get it to that either. I was lucky to get back to where I was. Windows Zero Connect was no help either. Any ideas? As many things can contribute to wireless connection issues, the most commoon items I found that causes wireless problems are:. One of the most common sources of wireless connection problems is interference operating at the same frequency as cordless phones, baby monitor, etc….
If you are running a firewall make sure it's not blocking access to the router. If it is, enable it so Vista can see it. XP and Vista are not the same. If you had a wireless card that used to work on XP and now it won't work on Vista, it may be incompatible with Vista driver only works on XP.
Try using a different adapter. I fixed it! Thanks for the tips. I had pretty much checked all this but it inspired me to run a step-by-step systematic diagnostic of my own. Maybe this will help someone else. I connected the laptop to the router with a hard LAN cable so I could maintain control of the router while troubleshooting the wireless connection. First I disabled all firewalls to confirm that there was no interference, which there wasn't. Then I took the router down to an unencrypted basic state to confirm it would connect via the wireless adapter, which it would.
I then turned back on the Norton Internet Security firewalls, and connectivity was still good. I then increased encryption on the router one step at a time, matching the settings on the wireless network properties. I went to WEP with a hexadecimal key, and got good connectivity.
I then increased to digit WEP and reestablished a good connection. I then went to WPA personal successfully. The frustrating thing was, aside from the time I spent figuring this out, was that nowhere did I see this idea of step-by-step increases in encryption or suggestions to reduce it. No user guides, no help pages, not the manufacturer. The best help was this forum and the Linksys router guide I downloaded. Thank you. I have solved my problem and hopefully someone else will benefit from my experience.
That's great news! The valuable information you provided, should help out a lot more Vista users with wireless network problems. As you experienced, sometimes it just takes a little more digging to solve these pesky problems. I have a desktop running XP and a laptop running Vista. The desktop is wired to the Netgear router and the laptop connects wirelessly to the router.
The two computers share a printer and this works too. It all works but when I click on the little icons on the Vista laptop to see what wireless networks are available, there appears to be two. The other says it is an un-named and unsecure network.
There is nothing I can do to connect to this unnamed network. If I turn off the wireless operation of my router, both these apparent networks dissappear. I have WEP security enabled. What is going on? What is this second network? And can I get rid of it. It must be coming from my router I guess. More than likely the 2nd network is from your neighbor and somehow your Netgear router is picking it up.
When I see odd things like that on my Network, I know it's time to change all security settings on the router…you may want to do the same thing. Nope, I do not believe is not a neighbour. I do see other networks, but this unsecure un-named one dissappears if I turn off the wireless operation of my router. Surely that means it is something to do with my router. Any external network should still show up on the laptop shouldn't it?
I think it's the remnant of when you had your network up before. I found that when I changed the name of my network, the old name stayed as a viable option to select — even though the router was no longer transmitting that name.
Try turning on broadcast mode again until you have everything solved. Change the name to something else so you can tell which is which, and use WPA. Then, if you find an old network that isn't "real" anymore, delete it by using the REMOVE option when you have all available networks showing.
Ken Croft — look like you are not the only Netgear user who has encountered this. Disabling SSID broadcast only disables broadcasting the name. The network will still be announced but no one will be able to connect to it. Looks like you may not need to worry about it.
