Vista 64 Bit Network Discovery Automatically Turns Off - Help
Just got an HP laptop with Vista 64 bit. My home network is working well
(have 2 XP machines and 2 Vista machines (one 32 bit and one 64 bit)). However, the new 64 bit laptop has the network discovery feature turn itself off on occasion. Tells me it has gone from a private to a public network. I have to reboot the PC. I have done searches and many other folks have had the same problem, but I have not seen a solution. Any help out there? Thanks in advance.

Vista 64 Bit Network Discovery Automatically Turns Off - Help
Have you changed the SSID from the router default? I've seen this problem
when a neighbour has the same SSID (e.g. linksys or dlink) and is not using encryption. Make sure you are connected to the router you think you are. If this is not the problem are there any errors in the event logs when the network changes from private to public? -- Kerry Brown MS-MVP - Windows Desktop Experience: Systems Administration http://www.vistahelp.ca/phpBB2/ http://vistahelpca.blogspot.com/ "Dreanmachine" wrote in message ...

The problem mainly occurs after the laptop is brought out of sleep mode. How

This blog has some troubleshooting tips to help diagnose sleep/resume problems. http://jvert.spaces.live.com/blog/cn...63E3!373.entry Sleep/resume problems are almost always caused by a misbehaving driver. Check that your network card has the latest driver. I would get these from the manufacturer's site. I would also try the latest driver from the NIC chipset manufacturer.

It is thus . . . .
HP Pavillion DV6929WM Notebook I have also seen it fail when in normal operating mode, just out of the blue. I do not believe there is problem with SSID, as this is very unique.

The latest drivers from HP are here
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/s... 57122&lang=en You may have better luck with wireless networking by uninstalling the HP wireless assistant. Depending on which of the wireless options you have, you may want to go to the wireless chipset manufacturers site and try their latest driver as well. Does the problem happen if you turn off wireless networking and use a wired connection? -- Kerry Brown MS-MVP - Windows Desktop Experience: Systems Administration http://www.vistahelp.ca/phpBB2/ http://vistahelpca.blogspot.com/ "Dreanmachine" wrote in message ...

Vista 64 Bit Network Discovery Automatically Turns Off - Help
Not to hijack but I too would like to hear about some solutions to this problem. I have set up a network with a few computers one of which runs Vista. Just randomly the Vista computer suddenly decides to turn off Network Discovery. I have to go back in, turn it back on and then need to go into the diagnose and have it reset the IP address then all is good again. I've seen many many people with this issue but have not seen any fixes to this problem. It seems there must be some simple fix to stop the computer from turning off the network discovery on it's own. But so far I can't find anything to manage this. Thanks in advance. -- Aurek
