Wireless Problems

[NosferatuX]

Hi! Nosferatux
I just temporarily solved the issue!
As u can see in pic given below... Router Network Type is set to Adhoc... Now My both win7 machines connect to Router easily & I can browse the Network & Internet.

Thanks for your advice!
I will surely experiment more to rectify. But this "adhoc OK" & "else failed" really annoying!

That is great news!
I've spent hours trying to locate support for the model you provided, DW-110 and even went to www.alfa.com.tw and browsed though all their products and couldn't find anything about DW-110.

Can you please provide the exact Model number of your wireless router and manufacturer information?

I would want to examine your wireless router configurations to find out why "Ad-hoc" settings work.

Cheers

Hey Nosferatux, before I try and reconfigure my modem. I just noticed that my xp wireless is managed by intel not windows. Do I have this option with win 7? If so how do I change?

Hi smooth1212,

You can download the software and the user's manual for your wireless adapter here;

Intel® WiFi Link 5300 and Intel® WiFi Link 5100 products

I've read the manual and I don't think you'll have any problems following the instructions there.

You also might want to read up on this

Cheers

I did read it all and tried it too.

I have just one question. do you think that my problem can be in NAT, cuz its in working state in my router. should I try to connect to him with NAT off?

Hi P4cha,

Can you please provide more information about your wireless router (i.e. model number, manufacturer, etc.)?

It would also be grand to fill in your specs so we can diagnose your problems more effectively?

NAT is normally active by default. Configuring NAT to function more effectively is another story which in this case, I believe is not the case.

Once you've provided more information, I could take a look at it for yah and give you my thoughts.

Cheers

On its bottom tag its named Alfa Network Model: AIP-W608H. Wireless AP/Router.
I was also unable to find anything about this specific Router On their support Site...... I m sure its now phased out product....
DWA-110 was Dlink USB adapter. It is listed on Dlink site...

New thing is that on my windows7 only PC the Wireless Network Connection properties does not show the 2nd "Share" tab as in given snapshot..

I m using Administrator account.. Very strange!

my router is Speedport W701V - link

my specs are:

I have tried everything that you wrote in this Thread. but nothing works. I think that the main problem is with router, while Vista is connecting wireless without problem.

Hey Nosferatux -I'm trying to give the Intel proset wireless wifi connection utility a chance to run the wifi card before I try to reset the router here. I want to try this first since the router belongs to my land lady......dont want to rook the boat here over a beta win program.

I'm running into a problem here disableling win 7 protocols and then trying to start the Intel connection utility. Basically every time i try to disable win 7 wifi control I get a blue screen followed by a reboot. How I'm supposed to tell win 7 not to manage my wifi card. Got time for a remote access tonight?

You can just reverse the steps outlined below (i.e.
Instead of setting it to "Automatic" you can set it to "Disabled") to disable Windows 7 from automatically managing your wireless connections

How do I start the Wireless/WLAN/Wireless Zero Configuration?

Windows 7 & Windows Vista
To start Wireless Zero Configuration in Windows 7/Vista you need to log in as an Administrator.

Click on Start and Control Panel
Select Administrative Tools and then Services
In the Services box scroll down the list of Services (Local) until you find the one labeled Wired AutoConfig and double click it.
In the Wired AutoConfig Properties (Local Computer) box change the Startup type to Automatic
Click on Start and once the service has started click on OK
Now find the service labeled WLAN AutoConfig and double click it.
In the WLAN AutoConfig Properties (Local Computer) box change the Startup type to Automatic
Click on Start and once the service has started click on OK
Go to File and Exit to close the Services window

Windows XP
Windows XP users must have Service Pack 2 installed to activate the Wireless Zero Configuration and log in as Administrator

Go to Start and Control Panel
Click on Administrative Tools and Services
In the Services box scroll down the list of Services (Local) until you find the one labeled Wireless Zero Configuration and double click it.
In the Wireless Zero Configuration Properties (Local Computer) box change the Startup type to Automatic
Click on Start and once the service has started click on OK
Now find the service labeled WLAN AutoConfig and double click on it
In the WLAN AutoConfig Properties (Local Computer) box change the Startup type to Automatic
Click on Start and once the service has started click on OK
Go to File and Exit to close the Services window

Please verify and review the setup guide for your Wireless Router here.

Check out this link for the firmware upgrade for your model here

Unfortunately, my knowledge of german language is close to nil

Nosferatux, it appears win 7 has lost control now that i disabled it, but Intel utility has not taken full control yet. the intel program is turned on in the service window. But I cant bring up a window to configure it. I know once it takes control I will get the intel connection icon...which has not appeared yet

got time to remote access my notebook and help me out?

 

[P4cha]

I know all that what you have gave me. and I have the latest driver possible.

I belive that mine main problem is with NAT on my router. cuz NAT is some kind of firewall and it has in it 3 mac adresses.

pic


last one is for WLAN adapter
second adress is from Nvidia nForce Networking Controller

I belive that the first one is from my IPTV

and off course one is from my PS3 but there is not here. but I have another pic with adress from my PS3.

I belive that is the main problem.

and sudenlly when I try to connect over my wireless it said that my key is not good. and when I enter my router and see WEP2 key is the same one.

^All
I m now sure it is Win7 problem! May be in few days a Wireless Patch may be offered at Beta Update site!
As other than Win7 operating system, all other OS are working fine..

My apologies, I was out this weekend. Maybe we could set another time?

For now, I'll try to look into your Intel ProSet not activating properly.

I hope you're right zillaamer7F although I have my suspicions.

Since this is not a laptop, if you could somehow borrow a newer model wireless router, you can test if you're able to connect there. If you're able to connect to the newer wireless router, it's a compatibility issue. If you're not able to connect, it might be just a configuration thingy

If you also followed the router reset, there shouldn't be any other entries in your router's NAT configuration. By default, NAT is enabled but is not configured for anything really. Maybe your hunch has a basis that, your NAT might be blocking your connection as it can be configured to do that.
If you're not comfortable resetting your router to factory defaults, I'd suggest, resetting the NAT table to default, you could easily take note of the entries or back up your router's config if you've made major changes. Might be worth a try

Thanks Nosferatux......I stand by

 

[NosferatuX]

Thanks Nosferatux......I stand by

You're most welcome.

Please download the Intel® PROSet/Wireless WiFi Connection Utility User's Guide Version 12.0 there is a troubleshooting portion of the documentation that outlines the issue you're encountering with this utility and gives a step-by-step guide on how to resolve it

 

[smooth1212]

Hi Nosferatux,

Thanks again for taking the time to help me out! I read through the utility/trouble shooting guide and did not see anything that looked like my problem....below is my previous thread to you.....

"It appears win 7 has lost control now that i disabled it, but Intel utility has not taken full control yet. the intel program is turned on in the service window. But I cant bring up a window to configure it. I know once it takes control I will get the intel connection icon...which has not appeared yet"

 

[NosferatuX]

You're most welcome.

Please try running the utility in Vista compatibility mode, check to see if this makes the icon appear. Restart and try again.

Not sure if this fits here, but I have a WRT54G router where I connect from a Dell laptop with an Intel Pro/Wireless 2915ABG. I use to be able to get internet access from Windows 7, but now I can't. In XP, all is fine. Wired in Windows 7 is fine.

Here is the kicker, while in my house I can connect to unsecure Linksys router that shows up in the wireless network screen and can access the internet. Any ideas?

 

[smooth1212]

Hi Nosferatux, what do you mean " run the utility in Vista compatibility mode"
