I'm running Vista Home Premium 64Bit and IE7 (64Bit) works just fine - connects to the net and downloads. However, because many applications (Flasherplayer to name a big one) require that I run the 32Bit browser instead. But that browser will not connect to the internet - it just tells me that the page cannot be displayed. No-one I've spoken to seems to be able to diagnose the problem except to...

We need to have Norton 360 recognize a computer on the LAN as having the right permissions to open the PUBLIC shared folder. This computer does not have Norton/Symantec software (intentionally) installed on it. How do I configure N360 to let a LAN computer open shared folders?

Hi all, This problem is driving me nuts. I've been researching it for weeks now and can't find a solution. I have a Vista Home Premium desktop, an XP pro desktop, and an XP home laptop all connected to my LAN. I can set the XP pro desktop up to accept VPN connections and everything works as expected (from the LAN side as well as the WAN side of my router). However, I can't get the Vista box...

My laptop - Vista Premium 64-bit - connects via wireless to my desktop. All works well - I set the network properties to automatically seek the wireless network. Returning from sleep, the connection is always restored. But if I shut down and subsequently start the laptop again, or if I use the Restart featureto do the same, the connection is lost when the laptop comes back up, and the...

Anyone have any suggestions on how to troubleshoot a frustrating network issue I'm having? I have a setup with a desktop that goes straight into a router (then out to a DSL modem) via ethernet cable -- and a laptop that connects to the router wirelessly.

I have an XP laptop (Wireless) and a Vista desktop (Wired) connected through a liksys wireless router. I can't get the xp machine to ping the vista machine. All firewalls are disabled and neither machine has any anti-virus or software. They both have connections to the internet and can even share files. On the vista machine I have the network discovery turned on, the network is set to...

Hello all, I'm having a strange issue with Vista (SP1 and now SP2) at the moment and wondered if anyone has any ideas. Until today, one of our wired machines in the domain kept dropping the connection to the local LAN but the Internet was still ok, this might not be related at all. Since then I removed the machine from the domain to then re-add the machine, this is now not working, I keep...

Being a former grunt, I have a limited understanding of this wireless modem set up stuff. I own a Belkin N1 router and was setting up a secure wireless connection so that my wire could use her laptop. (Both systems are HP) as I attempted to follow the manual for the router (not written for a guy that spent 26 years wearing camoflague and boots) I seem to have somehow gotten a gateway between...

I can’t reach the tasks manager, I am obliged to restart the computer with the reset button. For this reason I can’t...

I just acquired a new system with Vista Home Premium to add to my home network (with several other Windows 2K Pro and XP Pro systems). I wanted to set up some shares on the Vista system, so I went to Computer Management. I notice that it can list shares and sessions, but it doesn't provide the options for "New Share", "Properties", or "Stop Sharing". (I note that my Vista Business system...

I am using Vista Home Premium. When I boot up my wireless connection on my lap top to the router it won't connect automatically. I need to go through the manual routine of diagnose and repair and it then connects. Takes time and a real bother to wait for it all to happen. I have saved the connection and checked the 'automatically connect ...'. I am using the WEP - 128 encription. Please...
