Hello. I just received a Lenovo Ideapad Y430 and everything is working ok-I'm really happy with the notebook. However, I have one issue that is mildly frustrating. Although I have selected to connect automatically when my network is in range and to connect even if the network is not broadcasting (both in Wireless Network Properties), these selected settings do not save if my system goes...

I have a new HP laptop with Vista and am trying to print to a network printer. The printer is attached to a desktop with XP. The laptop recognizes the two printers attached to the desktop, HP officejet and Dell inkjet, but won't connect. Message indicates it needs a driver (INF file?) but can't find it. I downloaded Dell drivers and tried that, but it won't recognize them. Do I need to...

I just got a new desktop running Vista and connected to a printer. Also have a laptop running XP and am trying to get the laptop to recognize the new desktop on the network so I can print from my laptop wirelessly. I've run all the network setup wizards, and while both computers display each others 'names' in the network connection areas, they are not really recognizing each other ( the...

Hi, Vista SP1 with all updates. In Device Manager under "Network adapters", I have "isatap.zxcv.com". Does anyone know what this is? The driver for it is "tunnel.sys" signed by Microsoft, so what is this zxcv.com reference?

Hi Guys, any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated. I have just bought a new laptop (Toshiba A100/500). This comes fitted with a wireless network card (Intel® PRO/ Wireless 3945 ABG). It came with Windows Vista pre-installed and I am having trouble connecting it to my wireless router (Billion 7401vgp-m). I have disabled all wireless security on my router , turned on SSID broadcast...

I am trying to get the Offer Assistance functionality enabled between two Vista Business SP1 that are in a single domain. No firewalls, no VPN, can ping via name and IP address, can connect to remote desktop but when you try to Offer Assistance it says "Your offer to help could not be sent". I have seen dozens of postings with similar issues but no real resolution. Any thoughts?

Hi, Vista allways defaults a wireless NIC on a domain computer to "Public Network" instead of "Domain Network". On Windows Server 2008 this is allways done correctly. The NIC and driver is identical, and so is the network setup. How do I force Vista to recognize that the computer on which the wireless NIC is attached is a domain computer and must be "Domain network" connected.? Morten

Hey All, Using my laptop, I'm trying to get internet access from within a newly built virtual machine running Windows Vista. I am using VMWare Workstation 6.5. Currently, I cannot connect and can't see anything on the network. Under 'Settings' from within VMWare, I have selected "Bridged" and "Replicate physical network connection state" for the "Network Adapter". Please advise.

Running Vista SP1 on a few PC's. The file access to network shares is ALOT slower than it was with XP. We are running a specialty application which keeps its data on a network shares (hosted by Server 2003). If I move that data to Server 2008, the speed is back to normal (as it was with XP and Server 2003). Is there known issues with Vista and Server 2003 regarding network shares?

I'm seeing an issue in Vista SP1 where the computer is getting dns servers and search list through DHCP. If the DHCPv6 server is sending corp.microsoft.com then the actual Vista Client is showing Connection-specific DNS Suffix Search List : corp microsoft com

I have my laptop that is joined to my AD domain at work which is corp.company.com When I am plugged into the corporate network all dns resolution works fine. now when i connect to a wireless network at home or anywhere else all nslookup queries append corp.company.com onto the hostname or even fqdn that I try to lookup. For instance: nslookup google.com

We have a 2003 AD environment. some clients are XPPro, some are VistaBusiness. I recently found, I can't access some Vista's admin share from DC. From my investagation, the reason is the service "File and printer sharing for MS network" (from NIC property) is unchecked. Although I remember they are checked before, I re-checked them again. But after some times, they had been automatically...

Hello, I`m a Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit user, and the other day, I connected to an unprotected wireless connection (bad idea... I know...) and had about 20 gigs of files deleted from my hard drive. I was only connected for about an hour at most, and I set the network to public, so nobody should have been able to access my files, let alone delte 20 gigs of data. All together, about ten...

MS told me last night that if ipconfig shows the word "Preferred" next to my IP Address... that DHCP was not working right and that this might be affecting my ability to SHARE a folder to another PC. I cannot seem to find any independant corroboration of this... anyone know what it means when "Preferred" is printed next to the IP address? Thanks.
