Configure XFINITY Internet Windows Connection Settings

I follow the instructions to the T under theConfigure XFINITY Internet Windows Connection Settingsfor my HP laptop with Windows 7 Pro and it still says NO INTERNET ACCESS although it says connected to xfinity wifi. What can I do?

Hi,
Could you please have a share with the IE version?
We should make sure the GPO works on the Internet Explorer version on all Windows 7 machines.
In addition, regarding proxy bypass list, we may check this article:
Using Proxy Selection and Proxy Bypass Lists
Here is another thread for reference: Internet Explorer exception for proxy
bypass
Or we may consider to set the firewall settings as Ed suggested.

  • Internet Connection Settings Inconsistencies

    Hello,
    I have a scenario where a small group of Windows 7 Pro computers are going to be used to administer an exam. The exam will be done in MS Word and the students
    will be permitted online access to a few sites for research. In addition to their being a proctor in the room, the web-sites that the students will be allowed to visit must be metered. The easiest and cheapest way I have found to do this is to use Windows
    7's built-in Internet Connection settings, much in the same way the settings for IE can be controlled, but for all of the browsers on the operating system. I set a proxy to a bogus address and allow exceptions for sites on a per address basis. A GPO prevents
    users from changing proxy settings after they are logged in to Windows. 
    The problem is that the allow list for web-sites does not perform consistently. Allowing *.abc.com or just abc.com has the differing effects. Also not all of the
    sites work on all of the computers. Abc.com will work on one machine but not another even though they are cloned from the same Windows image and are using the same proxy settings. A GPO is not used to distribute the proxy settings. I couldn't find where to
    do that in group policy. Also, going to www.abc.com will work for a site but the entry
    of just abc.com will not, though it is entered that way in the proxy list. Windows clearly states that entering just abc.com for a site will cover all domains going up and down, but it doesn't in practice. This is very frustrating. Has anyone had to do something
    like this in the past or have a way to make Windows behave consistently?
    Thanks

  • Windows failed to apply the Internet Explorer Zonemapping settings - the data was invald (event ID: 1085)

    Hi All,
    I have a large domain and a long list of websites that are trusted using the following group policy setting:
    Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Internet Explorer> Internet Control Panel > Security Page >
    Site to Zone Assignment List
    On all (XP/vista/win7) workstations across the domain I'm getting the following error:
    Log Name:  System
    Source:  Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy
    Event ID: 1085
    Task Category: None
    Level: Warning
    Keywords:   Description: Windows failed to apply the Internet Explorer Zonemapping settings. Internet Explorer Zonemapping settings might have its own log file.
    There's nothing either side of this error in the log that shines any more light on the issue.
    I know which group policy object its applying these settings but cant find which of the entries in the site to zone assignment list is causing this issue. I looked in the
    Group Policy/Operational log but all I see is the following entry which says "completed" but is logged as an error:
    After some research I'm guessing that the issue is an incorrect wild-card. This is what my trusted sites list looks like (with names removed of course):
    http://servername.*  
    *.internaldomain.com.au  
    *.domain.com.au  
    *.domain.*  
    *.externaldomain.com  
    *.domain.inernaldomain.com.au  
    *.domain.*  
    *.domain/name.*  
    *.domain.inernaldomain.au*  
    *.domain.com
    Is there something obviously incorrect here?
    Does anyone know where I could find an article that clearly outlines the acceptable wildcard syntax for the
    "Security page\ site to zone assignment list" group policy?  Ive read every forum post, website and blog I could find on the internet but nothing is clear and I wasn't able to find an MS document that steps it out. I've also changed the
    existing list a number of times based on blog posts etc but had no luck.
    **Please Note**
    I dont want to change to a different method or have an intellectual debate re why I would have these sites/wildacrd/policy set. I'm really looking to see what entry is invalid and where the documentation is for this policy setting so i can make sure they are
    always correct in the future. 
    thanks in advance for your time and assistance

    UPDATE:
    I disabled the original policy and created a new one with only one trusted site address in it. Then I logged into a clean test machine did some testing.What I found after a few hours of testing was; regardless of the site that I have listed in group policy
    The HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Current version\Internet Settings\Zone Map Key registry entry is
    always updated with that entry on the workstation. So the workstation's registry always updates the key with
    *.sitename.com per the site that I have set in GP
    If I run GPUPDATE /FORCE over and over again, on the same machine, under the same user account, using the same DC I get:
    Failure, Failure, Failure, Success, Success, Success, Failure etc
    I wasn't able to determine any pattern to the failures, I tried stopping some of the processes on that machine but didn't find anything that would make it fail/succeed reliably.
    There is no AV or firewalls installed on my test machine
    Anyone have any more ideas?  I think I might install filemon and try to capture some more data unless there's a better tool?

    Yes, and that's straight from my Microsoft TAM. As long as you include an asterisk inside those site-to-zone mappings, you'll continue to see them. The key is whether or not they're working. In my environment, I've seen complete success using the
    http://*.domain.com, or
    https://*.domain.com, no matter if the site is http://www.domain.com or
    http://milk.does.a.body.good.domain.com. Despite the success, we continue to see the errors. It's much the same as Group Policy Preferences where you can apply a setting once, or repeatedly. If you apply
    something repeatedly and it's already set, lookout for some complaints in the application log. It really is annoying. There's potential to play with the logging levels, but I'll admit that my experience ranks as "novice" in this specific section of group policy.
    This link might get the creative juices flowing:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2008/07/18/enabling-group-policy-preferences-debug-logging-using-the-rsat.aspx
    I see you've already read a number of articles including "a test case for troubleshooting those event IDs"... I sympathize with your efforts. I despise warnings and errors that I can't solve or don't want to see, but I've researched a number of them to death
    and found that many are simply "normal". Uggg... I hope this helps, but please take my advice, as with anyone else's out here, with caution. I've seen some crazy recommendations. I saw a recommendation to install SQL on a DHCP server to get failover clustering
    up and running. I hope the guy asking for help didn't listen to that one! : ) - josh

  • You may need to configure the connection settings in the deployment descrip

    Hi All
    I am new to BPEL and going through Order Booking Tutorial (using 10.1.3.4 version of opmn ) .
    I have a problem in 'Designing the Database Adapter to Insert Data' Chapter.
    I have installed Oracle 10g Express Edition and BPEL Process Manager on my local system.
    In the Example it has been asked to create a daabase connection with Third Party JDBC Driver. Instead I have created a database connection with Oracle(JDBC) Driver.So i didnt have to register any third party driver.
    I cud access the Order/OrderItems table as well .
    I Deployed the same on the server.But while running the process I get following error--

  • The dreaded "You are not connected to the Internet" window.

    Is it just me, or are others having connectivity problems as the "You are not connected to the Internet" window constantly appears while moving from site to site or link to link?  I have a new iMac and just upgraded Mountain Lion, which I now suspect is the problem.  I have tried all kinds of hardware/software fixes.  Nothing works.  Sheesh!

    Thanks for the reply, Greg.  I do have my wife's Mac laptop to test with.  She's experiencing the same sporatic disconnect problem, too.  She's on wifi, I'm on ethernet (I keep my wifi off).  We're in a home. I upgraded our cable modem yesterday (after this problem started) and checked all the wires/connections; everything seems okay.  I thought it was the Mountain Lion upgrade, but this problem doesn't appear to be widespread.  Very strange how connection can stop and start (and stop and start) during a short period of time.  Never expereinced this before.  So now, a hardware problem?  But that wouldn't explain my wife's problem, so maybe it's the modem or the service provider (Comcast).  I hate like **** to have to talk with them.

    As Roger said, iCloud does not support external POP accounts.
    However, you can configure your Max to directly receive your Yahoo! email by following these instructions:

    Note that this works (for me) without a Yahoo Plus! account - and make sure that you scroll down to the comment at the end of the article which has all of the correct settings in one place.

  • Sharing an Bluetooth Internet GPRS connection in MacOS and Windows...

    Hallo!
    I sucsessfully set up an Bluetooth Internet GPRS connection in MacOS and my phone (SE W880i) added "MyName's Mac" record into its list of trusted devices.
    Then I loaded Windows XP SP2 on the same computer and tried to set up Bluetooth Internet GPRS connection there: I paired devices and my phone has OVERWRITEN "MyName's Mac" record, created during MacOS setup, as I think because Bluetooth MAC adress remain the same...
    Internet is Windows XP worked fine until I rebooted my Mac back to MacOS where I tried to luanch recently created Bluetooth Internet GPRS connection. MacOS reported the it cannot initialize communication device... Then I reconfigured my phone in MacOS again and Internet worked fine until rebooting to Windows XP, which reported that it cannot open COM port because it's busy...
    Main clue of it is that I have to reinstall my Bluetooth Internet GPRS connection each time I load to different system either MacOS or Windows...
    Could you please help my to obtain very needed friendship...

    I have tried from so many forms. This is so frustrating. Thank for everyone/anyone who wants to help. So this is what happened: I had to uninstall my previous sqlserver 2012(which worked great) for some reason, and I uninstalled everything from that download.
    Then I installed the trial edition of sql server 2012 (64 Bit) and It wouldn't connect to the database. (Error mentioned above.) My local DB is COWBOYS. (COWBOYS is also my computer name.) After this, I have tried downloading sqlexpress and sqlserver 64bit
    many times and cannot connect to my local DB. 
    How do I connect to my Local DB? 
    Also, I think this might help: (When I run sqlserve.exe, which I was able to find in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\LocalDB\Binn, I get an error: Your SQL server installation is either corrupt or has been tampered with(Error getting
    instance ID from name). Please uninstall then re-run setup to correct this problem.
    I would happily re install it, if it wasn't my 20th time.
    I don't have any remote connections, I don't use username/password, only window authentication. I work mostly on visual studio, but without able to store /retrieve data, I don't know how to survive.
    May be the solution is very simple, but I am too frustrated. 
    Some of the things I have tried:
    From a command prompt, enter one of the following commands:
    net start "SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER)" OR 
    net start "SQL Server Agent(instancename)"(for instance)
    on my sql configuration, I cannot start anything because there is nothing there to start. I can post more details, if that would help. Also, some more details about the error:

    Any one that can help me, I will be greatful. Thank you so much. p.s. please ask me anything if you have any questions.

    It sounds like there are a couple things going on here.  First check if you have a successful install of SQL Server, then we'll figure out the connection issues.
    Can you launch SQL Server Configuration Manager and check for SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) if default instance or SQL Server (other name) if you've configured your instance as a named instance.  Once you find this, make sure the service is started. 
    If not started, try to start it and see if it throws an error.  If you get an error, post the error message your hitting.  If the service starts, you can then launch SSMS and try to connect.  If you have a default instance, you can use the machine
    name in the connection dialog.  Ex:  "COWBOYS" where Cowboys is the machine name.  However, if you named the SQL Server instance during install, you'll need to connect using the machine\instance format.  Ex:  COWBOYS\Romo (where Romo
    is the instance name you set during install).
    You can also look at the summary.txt file in the SQL Server setup error logs to see what happened on the most recent install.  Past install history is archived in the log folder if you need to dig those up to help troubleshoot, but the most
    recent one may help get to the bottom of it if there is an issue with setup detecting a prior instance that needs to be repaired.

  • AD Radius 802.1x Login Window Connection Problems

    Mac Mini/10.10.1
    I'm using two profile manager profiles for testing:
    1. AD Certificate
        Installs certificate for AD Certificate Authority.
         Requests Machine Certificate from CA
    2. Network Settings
         Network Payload:
              Interface WIFI
              SSID our 802.1x SSID
              Auto Join - Checked
              Security Type - WPA / WPA2 Enterprise
              Use as Login Window Config - Checked
              EAP Types: PEAP
              Use Directory Auth - Checked
    Issue:
         Certificate services work fine, login window works fine. User is able to login and authenticate to wireless. However users are experiencing problems with computer sleep, roaming on network etc. I can simulate their problems by turning off air port and back on while logged in. What I'm seeing happen is that when airport is turned back on, it begins to connect to the 802.1x wireless network but does not authenticate does not receive an IP address. eventually resulting in self assigned address. If I press the connect button it will then authenticate and work as expected.
    Why is it necessary to press the connect button, why does it not automatically connect? Am I doing something incorrect or is this normal behavior?
    Going into network preferences, choosing wifi adapter and clicking connect is too much to expect from my users. And it would be annoying even for me if this happened every time I went offline.
    Thank you for suggestions.
    Joe

    Hi Geoffrey,
    I would like to know if
    EAP-TLS wireless authentication has been used since it uses user and computer certificates to authenticate wireless access clients.
    Please try to use NPS wizard to configure 802.1x wireless connection,
    and
    you will find that it
    creates new connection request policy and network policy. Network policy NAS Port type will be "Wireless -Other OR Wireless -IEEE 802.11".If
    you
    need filter by user and computer account, the log should show both authenticate user and machine account name.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • Im using Windows 7 Ultimate, Cannot Change Windows Update Settings

    Im using Windows 7 Ultimate, and I've been encountering difficulties in Windows Updates Settings. I want to change my settings on Windows Updates so I can install important software from the Internet. But the problem is it prompts this message "SOME SETTINGS
    ARE MANAGED BY YOUR SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR" as well as "NEVER CHECK FOR UPDATES(NOT RECOMMENDED). Please help me to fix this problem... It is really important to me... I hope you can resolve this technical issue.. Thanks!!!

    Hi,
    Before going any further, I would like to verify if your pc is in a domain.
    If your computer is part of a domain,  this feature may be disable via GPO by your system administrator. You may need to contact it with your IT department.
    If it is not in a domain but the issue appears, please make sure you are logging on with system administrator account. In addition, if any security program
    is installed, please temporarily disable it.
    Meanwhile, please check the GPO settings on your PC:
    1. Click Start, type “gpedit.msc” and press enter.
    2. Navigate to Computer Configuration-> Administrative Templates ->
    Windows Component -> Windows Update. Make sure the states of all setting are Not Configured.
    3. Navigate to Computer Configuration-> Administrative Templates->
    System-> Internet Communication Management-> Internet Communication settings. Make sure the state of “Turn off access to all Windows Update features” is Not Configured.
    Hope it helps.
    Regards,

    Hello:
    I have win7 Professional, have same problem as in this link. I have made those change as mentioned. But, still my computer's windows update setting is not allowing me to change. It is grayed out, and set at "Check for updates but let me choose whether
    to download and install them".
    I am its administrator, it is in a workgroup, but it was put in by 'Best Buy Geeks'. I am able to use gpedit.msc, regedit, and also can run cmd as administrator.
    I want to change it. Any suggestion, please!
