Vostros are reasonably new, so the laptop will at least have a DVI port.
Depending on whether the laptop has DVI output or HDMI output, you will either need a DVI-to-HDMI cable (Or DVI-to-HDMI adapter and HDMI cable) or you may just need an HDMI cable.
Also, if the laptop has a DVI output, you will need a separate audio cable. Depending on what audio inputs the TV has, this means you will either need a 3.5mm-to-3.5mm stereo patch cable (same kind that would connect an iPod or XM receiver to a car's aux input), or a 3.5mm-to-RCA stereo adapter cable.

Help with connecting Dell laptop Wifi using new airport extreme

I recently purchased airport extreme. I am having problems setting up my wifi on my Dell laptop. It was working fine with my previous router.
My ITouch and IPad connect fine with WiFi. what do I need to do with the laptop? I've tried everything I can figure out, but no luck.

you should ask in the airport forum rather then the imac forum where nobody are sure to own airports

How do I connect a mac cinema display to a dell laptop with VGA output?

I need to connect my coworkers Mac Cinema display to his Dell Laptop with VGA out, running Windows 7. We have a VGA to DVi adapter, but it doesn't work. Do we need a different adapter or a driver? Thanks.

DVI-I offered by most computers has support for up to a wider-than-1920 Digital display AND a complete set of VGA signals in it.
If you have an adapter from DVI [computer] to VGA [display] it has no conversion logic in it and should be called a VGA extractor. It will NOT work the other direction.
I think what you need is a better computer or a worser (VGA) display.

All devices on network lose internet connection when Dell laptop connected

I have successfully setup my AEBS network and am using two wireless clients--HP printer and Xbox access point (both 802.11 G) and a wired iMac that also is connected via Airport (so I can move it around if i want). I tried connecting my Dell Latitude D830 wirelessly and within a few minutes of connecting the AEBS loses internet connectivity. Unplugging and restarting the AEBS restores the internet but it just drops off again in less than 10 minutes. My question is, what might be causing this and what can I do about it? One peculiar thing to me is that I am using the WEP security option since the Xbox doesn't seem to support WAP2. When connecting the Xbox it reports the network as WEP but the HP printer and Dell Laptop but suggested the network was indeed WAP even though I'm clearing using WEP security. Maybe it's nothing but wanted to add for completeness.
The Dell is running Vista Enterprise edition.
Thanks for any help.

I've noticed a similar issue. Any time my HP/Vista laptop is connected to my AEBS it loses the network connection at inconsistant time intervals(~10-15 min).

How do I connect my dell laptop from work to my 27 mac monitor?, how do I connect my dell laptop from work to my 27 mac monitor?

I received a 27 LED apple/mac monitor --not the 2011/12 version though.
I want to use with my work computer--a dell laptop. I can't seem to find the right adaptor to connect the two.
I need a dvi port converter that also connects to my vga on my laptop (so need the male end of hte vga since my laptop has the female end).
I only found 1 adaptor but it ends with a dvi on a vga. I don't have hdmi on my laptop either--tried that adaptor as well when I couldn't see on the pic when I ordered that it was hdmi not usb). Please help. I have read so many blogs that say it can be done.

How do I connect a dell laptop to my wireless via mac mini?

I have a macmini (non intel) 1.42 GHz, G4 that is connected to my linksys wireless-G 2.4 router. I have a macbook pro(intel)that can connect wirelessly with no problem. However my dell laptop keeps getting bumped off. Any suggestions?
Also, could someone give me step by step directions on how to set my mac mini to only allow the macbook pro and Dell laptop to access the router?
Thanks in advance!

Can I use my time capsule to connect a Dell laptop to a remote hard drive?

I have a time capsule network at home for my apple computers. It works great I can even send jobs wirelessly to the printers from all my computers including the Dell laptop with Windows Vista. I would like to be able to back up the Dell laptop Windows Vista machine to a Western Digital My Book Mirror Edition storage system. I'm having problems with the Dell recognizing or finding the WD hard drive. Does anyone know if I can do this?

Yes it recognizes the WD when I directly connect the hard drive. Yes it is recognized on the Mac and the Dell but only in the Airport Utility software for windows nothing on the windows machine is able to recognize it and finally yes I have Bonjour loaded and two printers are working fine on my complete network of machines PC's as well as Apple machines. I tried every resource I could find online and I can't get the system to recognize the WD hard drive I'm stumped.

Can I connect 2 sony bravia's, a sony home theatre, 2 macbooks, 2 ipads, 3 iphones and a dell laptop and stream media from my apple devices to my tv?

Can I connect 2 sony bravia's, a sony home theatre, 2 macbooks, 2 ipads, 3 iphones and a dell laptop and stream media from my apple devices to my tv? I have a sony bravia 600 series and 700 series and a home theatre( sony 7100 series)

The only way to stream directly to your TV would be if it is an AirPlay-enabled device.
There are many AirPlay-enabled devices but I am not familiar with Sony's products. If yours do not specifically indicate AirPlay capability, then you need an AirPlay-enabled device such as an AppleTV connected to your Sony TV or Sony AVR.

How to configure Solaris 10 on a dell laptop to connect to internet

Hi,
I am student and have installed Solaris 10 on my Dell laptop using SUN's Virtual box. I also have Opensolaris on my laptop that is able to connect to internet using any available wireless because of its auto settings. Can some one please guide me with the steps or tutorial to configure Solaris 10 to connect to internet either by LAN or wireless(preferable)

For a start I would give my interface an inet number:
ifconfig <interface> inet <ip_address>
ifconfig e1000g0 inet 192.168.100.198
...further than that I would need to study.

No IP address intermittently on Dell laptop when connecting to EA6400

Ever since I have a new EA6400 wireless router, my Dell Latitude laptop doesn't always get an IP address when connecting to the router. It's only a problem with the Dell, other devices connect without trouble. The Dell laptop doesn't have problems with any other routers it connects to. Any ideas...?
When connecting, the wireless icon in the tray sometimes shows a yellow exclamation mark saying 'No internet access'. The wifi status shows 'Limited' in that case. The solution is most of the times to turn off wifi completely, then turning it on again. This apparently forces a reconnection including a new IP address from the EA6400. My setup is pretty out of the box, no changes made to DHCP settings or other network related things. I'm puzzled...
Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

Router Placement
Forum User - "Well I feel really dumb. After moving the router away from other electronic devices my speeds are back to normal. Just a heads up for anyone experiencing slow speeds, you might want to move it away from other electronics and see if that helps."
3-6' feet minimum safe distance between devices.
Placement on main level floor and central in the building and WELL ventilated is preferred. Not in basements or closets as building materials, or near by electronics devices could interfere or hinder good signal propagation.

I have 3 Dell laptops at home and I am unable to connect my iPad 1 to any of them using the USB cable. If I connect the iPad to any Apple computer using the same USB cable, it works perfectly. I have installed the latest versions of iTunes and iOS, but still no luck. Apple Store Geniuses helped me determine that it wasn't my iPad causing the problem, but were less helpful when it came to dealing with non-Apple devices.
Options?

Does the OS see the iPad at all? In other words does it show up in either the My Computer or Device Manager?
I've had problems in the past where I had to modify the registry to get my son's iPod to sync with a particular HP laptop.
If it doesn't show up at all have your tried using an external hub (with or without power)?

Dell laptop internet connection airport express

We are using Airport Express to connect to the internet. It works with our iMac & we are also able to print wirelessly with the iMac.
We are having difficulty connecting a Dell laptop to the internet using the same Airport Express. We're not sure how to set it up.
We previously used a router and a PC with the Dell laptop.
Please advise us on how to set this up.
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.9)

L&S, Welcome to the discussion area!
Perhaps you can find a solution on iFelix's site. If not, you can post in the AirPort for Windows discussion area.
