Windows Vista Notebook just purchased at Christmas from Dell, with a Linksys WRV200 wireless router. Wired access via this router works great from a separate computer (desktop). However, wireless access has some strange issues. Can create the wireless profile and enter the WPA password and connect to the router wirelessly just fine and surf away. But, after the notebook is shutdown and fired...

I have a Tablet PC running Vista Home Premium. Every time it comes out of sleep mode (when I open the case), it attempts to reconnect to the wireless network, and a lot of the time it connects but the network says unidentified and I can't connect to the Internet. I end up having to disable my network card through the Network & Sharing Center and then enable it again (using the switch on my...

I want to configure a GPO for windows vista and im stuck with Firewall Configuration. I already have GPO for windows XP firewall...will this works for Vista firewall also?

We have a lot of IPSEC tunnel clients with Windows XP behind NAT working fine (home offices, cell phone clients, ...). Tests with Vista SP1 are showing that build-in IPSEC / NAT doesn't work any longer (without NAT it still does). I found the solution http://support.microsoft.com/kb/944335/en-us saying that it is by design. Compared to XP this is an unacceptable regression, Vista claims it

When I access a folder shared on another Windows PC, I'm prompted to login with and user and password of that PC. When I login, the folder is accessible, until I shut down the client or disconnect the user. I want to manually logout from the shared folder! How do I do? This is my typical scenario: I want to access my files from another person's computer, but I don't want my folder is still...

I've been experience a strange problem on my Vista laptop for months. I'll be connected to the internet, and eventually lose my ability to open web pages in my browsers, but I'll still be able to ping servers, resolve dns names, etc. I use a virtual machine for work, and often within the virtual machine, I will still be able to browse pages, but not within the host.

Hi, I recently bought a new Philips HEPC7511 with Windows Vista and have a Linksys Wireless Router which I want to connect to. I have gone through the setup and configured the router but when I try connecting to the wireless network, the router isn't detected (even though I tried placing it right next to my PC). I have a working RALINK network card and have tried reinstalling the drivers...

HI, I have read through tons of posts but cannot seem to find my problem any where. I recently bought a new vista desktop and connected it to my dsl wireless router (westall versalink 327w) with the most current firmware installed. One of the existing computers is running XP and wired to the router. The other is a laptop running vista and connected wirelessly. After connecting the new vista...

Hi I hope you can help me. As the title says, my PC connects to my ADSL router fine but my new notebook can't see it? I can ping it from the PC but get no response from pinging its IP on the laptop. Both are set to use DHCP.

Hi, My office is using Window Vista. We are small business enterprise. I have created a workgroup for all the people working here (only 4 of us). I have some files which i want to share with some people. How can i add their names in the file sharing permission. I tried but not able to do so. Can you help? Thanks

The new file sharing "features" of Vista are the primary cause of it's utter and complete failure. Vista lacks backward compatibility with windows XP file and print sharing. If you want to share files with xp you will have to install LLTD package on the xp pc. Also, the different capabilities of home basic, premium, ultimate, and business overly complicate what should be very simple, and...

Hi, I have been using Vista Ultimate on a hi spec ASUS PC for 6 months. ADSL connection is wired, through a Linksys WAG325N router. I am using a fixed IP address internally, but other PC's (children - and all XP) are DHCP. I have become very frustrated with the ADSL link being lost, specifically

I now have two identical(?) desktop icons, both labeled "desktop.ini." Their contents are different and, apparently, were created as a part of file sharing. I want ONLY 3 icons on my desktop: Recycle Bin, Network and Windows Explorer. Everything else is either in QuickLaunch, Start Menu or All Programs. Can these icons (files) be moved somewhere else? Anywhere!! Ed

Got PCI card linksys and it worked much better but really want to go to N wireless but afraid that the existing USB N adapter's won't work as well as a N PCI or PCI express card would. Not any N PCI cards certified to work with Vista Have added antenna's to router and to PCI card...

Possible reasons are passwords not allowed, logon hour restrictions or a policy restriction has been enforced."

I'm using Windows Vista Business on my notebook. Yesterday all browsers (IE7, Firefox) stopped working. I did nothing. I didn't install or uninstall any software, didn't change any settings (but may be windows installed some updates). When I'm trying to open any website a browser resolves host name properly, connects to the server and is waiting for response. That's all I get. ...
