[SOLVED] Failure of Wireless on Windows 7 computer

It's very peculiar!! I spent the last week continuing (almost full time) to try every option offered by you and the internet, to no avail. The ports would not connect to the network. Finally, in desperation almost, I brought down & installed a network packet analyser (Wireshark) and ran it...

[SOLVED] Failure of Wireless on Windows 7 computer

I have tried a further change to the network, which has provided more evidence, but no solution! I purchased a USB to WiFi dongle and the ports are now as listed below a) wired port in laptop − no connection when enabled b) wireless port in laptop − unidentified network/limited connectivity...

[SOLVED] Failure of Wireless on Windows 7 computer

They are all on sub-net 192.168.1.0. all 3 ports obtain dynamic addresses from DHCP. I have a memory that I experimented with fixed addresses to no avail, but therebis a suspicion in my mind that somethging in the DHCP stack is playing up -- but port #3 would, I guess, be using the same DHP...

[SOLVED] Failure of Wireless on Windows 7 computer

I had wondered about a system restore, trouble is it would be rather far back as I had assumed the wired connection failing (at that point wireless connevction was impossible) was a hardware failure & took evasive action by using a USB port to Ethernet dongle -- so any restore would be many...

[SOLVED] Failure of Wireless on Windows 7 computer

Thank you plodr, Viper's list enabled me to find the service (CNG Key Isolation) that was stopping Wired AufoConfig services from starting. In passing it is also a dependency for WLAN AutoConfig as that also started. So I have now moved on as all is not yet well -- the Authentication process...

[SOLVED] Failure of Wireless on Windows 7 computer

Britechguy 1. DISM does exist for Windows 7 (as my previous post indicated), and when the correct parameters are supplied (as xrobwx71 provided) works to completion 2. It might not be your priority, but for many the user interface is a priority. I still find the ribbon interface very difficult...

[SOLVED] Failure of Wireless on Windows 7 computer

[SOLVED] Failure of Wireless on Windows 7 computer

The problem appears to be both wired and wireless, though it is the latter that I am concerned about. The Computer is a Dell Latitude D630 running Windows 7. A few months ago my wired connection (at that point my only connection) stopped working, and after explloring various possibilities I...

Windows 7 - slow network (ethernet) transfers to network disk

Switch arrived faster that expected -- I think Amazon put the go-faster stripe Prime on it!! I attach an enhanced set of results with the figures for the switch on a light green background. Interesting points: 1. W7 to disk has increased greatly, disk to W7 a much smaller amount (but then it...
