Cannot connect Windows 7 Partition to Internet

I have a MacBook Pro, I used BootCamp to partition for Windows 7. It loaded up and works fine however I cannot connect to the Internet when using Windows. I can see that the WiFi is connected but it asks for a WEP or WPA Security Code. Don't remember what that is...does anyone know how to find it?

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
WEP and WPA security codes are stored in the WiFi router you use and can only be changed in there.
Refer to the router manual for how-to do this.
Regards
Stefan

  • HT1206 Iphone cannot connect to email, apps store, internet, etc. Please Help

    I synced my work Iphone to my families Itunes account at home and now cannot connect to email, apps store, internet, etc. I can still call and text, but that's it. Please help.
    I could connect before syncing. I restarted the phone. The issue started right after connecting syncing to my computer.

    Thanks for your reply.
    I just tried your suggestion, but got the same error.

    I have 4 bars and have 3G coverage. I can call and text.

  • Cannot Connect Beige G3 To The Internet With D-Link DGL-4300 Router

    Hiya Folks,
    I cannot connect my Beige G3 Desktop to the Internet using a D-Link DGL-4300 Router.
    When the Computer is connected directly to the cable modem, I can get out onto the net.
    I called D-Link and of course the were of no help.
    Any ideas would be great.
    Thanks
    Dennis

    I explained it in a previous post. Did you read it?
    You need to run two programs before you can log on in old school OS9.
    Both programs are located in your Utilities folder which should be in your OS9 Applications folder.
    The utilities folder is at the bottom of the OS 9 Applications folder.
    When you open the Utilities folder, you should see another folder called Assistants.
    Run the Mac OS Setup Assistant while connected to your router.
    Fill everything out correctly. It should take you directly to the screen that says "would you like to set up your Internet Connection?" Click yes, and follow the instructions.
    Do this and tell me what it says.
    If you do not have the "Assistants" folder in your "Utilities" folder, then your OS9 software was not installed correctly, or when installed, you had no internet connection available so the installer skipped some files.

  • Cannot connect 2 macbooks to the internet through AEBS?

    Hi,
    I have 2 Macbooks, Airport Extreme Base Station & a 320T D-link router. My ISP is plusnet who uses PPPoA settings on the d-link router. So i have set the router up and when i connect it to the Macbooks directly via ethernet i can access the internet. But once i connect the d-link router to my AEBS i cannot connect to the internet? Both Macbooks can see the base station but they cannot access the basestation. If i put the base station in bridge mode the light will go green and one can connect to the internet but obviously i want both to connect! I am unable to put the d-link router in bridge mode as my ISP does not support this as the router will only work on the PPPoA settings to retrieve the IP's etc from Plusnet. I have spent countless hours on the phone to apple and changing settings but to no success. I have spent more money to buy the d-link router as i had a netgear D111MP router previously but i read that it was a poor product to go with the AEBS. So the issue does not lie with the router?
    If anyone can help i would appreciate it so much as this has become so frustrating!
    Many thanks!!

    Thanks Duanne, problem is that i have bought the netgear DM111P and the d-link 320T and found out that they cannot work for some reason. So i have spent £70 on both modems/routers plus the £119 on the AEBS. It's just a bit annoying when i have spent a lot of time and money on something which i was hoping would be as simple to set up as all the other apple products.
    By the way i'm not having a go even though it sounds like it! The main thing on my mind is to get my AEBS working. Would it be possible to advise me on a router that will work well with my AEBS to solve this issue i am having? Also one that can use the PPPoA settings from my ISP? This would be greatly appreciated as i don't want to go out and buy another router and find out it doesn't work.
    Also if i get a router that can do this what would be the setup of my AEBS?
    Thank you for your time on this!

  • Mac Cannot see Windows HDD Partition/ Windows cannot reformat disc?

    I have installed boot camp and windows 7 64 bit on my mac pro dual quad core.
    I have 3 drives.
    #1 is 1 TB and partitioned in 2 logical drives so that one is windows NTFS and one is Mac. The mac OS does not see the windows drive. In fact it appears in disk manager as UNMOUNTED and FAT when in fact its NTFS.
    #2 is the drive that shipped with the mac, partitioned into 2 drives, one which boots windows (bootcamp) and 1 boots OS X. No problems.
    The problem is drive #1 holds all my vido from my camcorder so I need the mac to recognize the windows drive and read the data. I copied all the data off of the NTFS partition and tried to format it in Windows. Windows says its "in use". It is not in use since Windows boots from BOOTCAMP on a different physical drive. It won't let me ignore the error, if I try it waits a few seconds and repeats the error.
    I tried to erase the partion in disk manager, same issues. Even after the mac erases it into any format (Mac, Fat32, etc...), the Windows disk console will resfuse to format it claiming that its "in use".
    Any ideas?
    Anyone else have the same problem? I think it has to do with the hidden 200 MB partitions that windows 7 creates and that the MAC may unintenionally mess with.

    Maybe
    On the Win7 machine,
    1. Ignore everything to do with Homegroup.

    4. Restart (probably not necessary, but I’d do it).
    On the Sno machine,
    1. Go System Preferences > Sharing > Check File sharing > Go Options > Enable SMB sharing.
    2. Go System Preferences > Network > Select Airport or Ethernet depending on what you are going to be using. I am assuming you will be using wireless below. Let me know if not true.
    3. Having selected Airport, select ask to join new networks and show Airport status in menu bar.
    4. Click advanced > click remember networks this computer has joined > Click Wins > Enter the ip address of your Win7 machine in the WINS server box > Enter the Win7's workgroup name in the workbook box unless it already is there (look in the drop down menu too). In all likelihood the name is workgroup, but check on the Win7 machine.
    5. Restart (probably not necessary, but I’d do it).
    Try to connect to your Win7. Use Go menu > Connect to server. In trying to connect, type smb://ipaddress (of the Win7 machine). If, for some reason, you are asked to, input a user name and password, then use you user name and password for the Win7. Don't save anything to Keychain now and actually never for making network connections.

  • Cannot connect Windows 7 laptop to USB HDD attached to Airport Extreme

    I would appreciate anyone's help regarding the following issue. The situation is as follows:
    Laptop with Windows 7 installed
    Laptop connects to Airport Extreme (5th generation) through Wifi
    An external HDD (WD Elements 1TB) is attached to the Airport Extreme's USB
    The external HDD is visible in Airport Utility and should work fine, as far as the Airport Utility is concerned
    The external HDD is also visible in Windows Explorer and works fine when I attach it directly to the laptop's USB
    However, I cannot access the HDD from my laptop when it's connected to the Airport Extreme's USB
    I've followed all the steps described in http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1331 for mapping a network drive, so I've done the following:
    I opened "Map Network Drive"
    I selected an unused drive letter
    I checked the Airport Extreme for the correct IP address (in my case: 10.0.1.1) and the HDD for its correct name (in my case called: "Backup")
    I entered the correct path to the drive, using the above IP address and HDD's name
    After doing all this, I keep receiving the following error message: "Windows cannot access \\10.0.1.1\Backup. Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise, there might be a problem with your network. To try and identify and resolve network problems, click Diagnose."
    Details of the error message are as follows: "Error code: 0x80070035. The network path was not found."
    When I select "Diagnose", Windows indicates that the external device or the external source does not accept the connection.
    Access to the Airport Extreme is password protected. Same for the HDD. However, Windows does not prompt me to give the username and password, which might be causing the problem.
    Does anyone have any idea how to solve this?
    Thanks,
    Paul

    If you are connected by wireless.. it is actually wireless that is the problem.
    30MB file (please try and use b for bits and B for Bytes.. )
    that works out around 300Mb (with overheads).
    That is 60Mbit/s average speed.. and for wireless I would say that is pretty good. (Real world transfer speed you can expect 1/2-1/4 of link speed.. and tending to the lower end of that. )
    Plug the computer in by ethernet and get a speed for transfer of a single large file.. try something of the 1GB sort of size. A movie file for instance works fine.
    Ethernet should be faster than any other step in the process.. assuming gigabit of course.. and that will then give you the upper limit speed.. but I would expect around 10MB/s max speed and maybe a bit less than that. USB on a router is choked because it is processor intensive. Most routers only manage that speed and sometimes a lot less.
    Wireless on 5ghz band is faster than 2.4ghz if you are up close. It is worthwhile forcing the 5ghz connection if you want better wireless speed.

    Thanks Visruth. I managed to get the Windows 8.1 up and running without the the recovery partition.
    On another topic, on the previous Windows 8.1 system. (before I deleted and reinstalled it, I downloaded recovery to a usb flash drive. THe RECOVERYflash drive contains 3 foldes named boot, efi and sources and also two files in the root diectory of the RECOVERYusb flash drive named bootmgr and bootmgr.efi. How would I use these files and folders, (for future reference)?

  • [URGENT!] Cannot connect a computer to the internet via WRT54GSv4 router

    I have spent more money than the devil knows on fixing my wireless internet, and just recently I discovered these forums. Go figure.
    Anyways, two or three weeks ago my upstairs computer's internet connect flopped and died. This is about the seventh time this has happened, in ONE YEAR! I use a Westell modem and a WRT54GSv4 router, a WRE54G Range Expander outside the room, and a Dynex Enhanced Wireless-G Adapter. One day I was playing WoW (ftw...), and all of a sudden I was disconnected, rather rudely. I looked back to my Expander: The top light was red, and the bottom blue, which means activity but no link (meh?). Anyways, I got limited or no connectivity for the first few days, but not connected, and finnaly my Routed connection died and wouldn't even show on the list of in range wireless connections. If the router was a person, I'd beat it with a bat. Or at least with words.
    In the past I configured it to allow Battle.net ports 6112 through 6119 to host games on Warcraft III. I have done nigh on nothing else to mess with my router, no firmware upgrades, no meddling (except for some resets to factory defaults via 30 seconds reset button), etc. It randomly shuts off and dies, but the thing that really pisses me off is the fact that my parents' laptop still has connectivity to the routed network. I don't know if its something to do with my router, something screwed with my modem, my range expander being gay, or my Dynex adapter being pwned by some virtual cannon.
    If any of y'all could provide any information whatsoever relating to this fix as soon as possible, I would be greatly appreciative!

    As you said your Parents computers are able to go online thorugh the Router, That means its not the problem with the Router, You just need to input the same wireless settings on your Wireless WRE.

  • Bought a new iPhone 4S which I cannot connect to the internet, mobile data network activation is not possible!

    I recently bought a new iPhone 4S in Singapore and found out that I cannot connect the iPhone to the internet over my mobile 3G connection.
    The telephone function is working fine as well as wifi; just connecting to the internet through my simcard is not possible.
    I hav another existing iPhone 4S, and in this iPhone the mobile internet connection 3G is working perfectly!
    I discoverd 1 difference between the two iPhones:
    On the new iPhone if I look at
    Settings / General / About / Carrier : the text "Orange UK 13.0" is displayed
    On my existing it says: "T-Mobile Nl 13.1

    Sorry, but I think you were ripped off.  There is no way a "new" iphone came out of the box provisioned for a carrier in a completely foreign network and country.  And Orange phones are sold locked to Orange, so if it is working with your T-Mobile SIM, it has to have been hacked.  That would be like me here buying a new iPhone and discoverying it was showing some carrier in Austrlia - just completely beyond reasonable explanation.
    If you try and restore, I'd bet money it relocks to Orange and won't accept your SIM at all.
    You can try wiping out all network settings and setting things up fresh (maybe do that with the SIM out, then see if it reads the settings correctly from the SIM).

  • Cannot connect to Activation Server

    My system is Windows Vista.
    Recently installed ADE 3.0. 
    I tried to open ACSM file, both with & w/o authorization ID.
    Both times, I get the same error:  cannot connect to Activation Server
    My internet connection works.
    So, I configured my Windows Firewall, so that ADE 3.0 is on the exceptions list.
    Same error:  cannot connect to Activation Server
    Help!

    Yes, I tried to deauthorize in Library view, but nothing happened.  ADE has no authorization information at all.
    So, for added measure, I uninstalled & reinstalled ADE 3.0.  Then I confirmed that Adobe ID and password worked by logging into my Adobe account.  Hence, my internet connection also works.
    In ADE I again entered my Adobe ID and password.  Initially I got the same error: cannot connect to authorization server.
    After I repeatedly hit [Try Again], the screen finally showed "Authorizing..."
    However, this screen just runs...and runs.  The authorization never completetes.
    So then I went to the Registry and deleted the Adept Key, as you suggested in your other reply.
    Same result.  At first, it wouldn't connect to the server at all.  Then I get the "Authorizing" screen that runs indefinitely.
