Dell Inspiron 1300 laptop wont connect to router anymore

Eveything was great untl I had to change the encryption code on the router, now I cant get the laptop to connect to the router anymore. Nothing was changed on the computer and the only thing that was changed on the router was the encryption code. The Dell laptop has a 1370 mini wireless card in it running windows XP, and I updated it last night to the latest driver. My Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop has no problem connecting to it. The wireless router is a WRT54GS. I have also started wireless zero configuration and checked the box to let windows control my wireless. And the box in properties that says "Enable IEEE 802.1authentication for this network" is not checked.
Sometimes when I try to connect it, it will say connected when it isnt connected to anything. Other times when I try to connect it will connect to another wireless internet in the neighborhood that doesnt have any encryption. And then other times I get the message that says "windows was unable to find a certificate to log you on to the network". I got it to connect when I took the the encryption off the router but for some reason it doesnt want to connect with encryption on it. I am using WEP 64bit. I checked all the settings on both the laptops and the wireless settings are exactly the same. I dont understand why mine will connect and the other one wont. Any ideas?

You can try manually adding the network on your computer, Also change the SSID on the router if it is linksys(default).
To add the network manually try the below mentioned settings.......
Click on Start and go to the Control Panel and double click on Network Connections, right click on Wireless Network Connection disable it and then Re-enable it .
Right click on Wireless Network Connection and click on Properties,Now on this window, click on the second tab Wireless Network and give a check mark on "Use windows to configure my wireless" and then remove all the network names present in the Preferred Networks Window. Then click on OK...
Right click on the Wireless Network Connection again and click on View Available Wireless Networks and try to re-connect to your network...
Now it will give you the opportunity to put the network/security key, make sure you enter the correct network key and confirm it...
It will connect...
That should resolve the issue for you.

I currently have a DELL Inspiron E1707 Laptop and I connect to the internet via my Linksys WRT54GS Wireless Router. For the past 2 days I can connect to the internet but sites take forever to load or just don't load at all. I went to Intel PRO/set Wireless Troubleshooter and the event viewer says: CTA Plugin is not installed or supported. I have googled this problem and still have not found a solution or where I can install the plugin. I did find that this is somewhat common and has to do with the CISCO system/Linksys Router. I hope one of your specialists has a solution to this problem. Please get back to me regarding this issue. Thank You!

Change the wireless channel from 6 to 9 ...
Also under advanced wireless settings you can change few more settings ....

HP ELite L2201x and Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop?

Hi, I bought an HP Elite L2201x Monitor, and I want to connect it to my Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop.
I got a display port to HDMI port cable but my laptop doesn't recognize at all the HP monitor, it is like if it were not there!
Any advice? I thought about using the port I use to conect to a proyector, but idk if that makes sense at all!
Thanks for your help!!!

>I got a display port to HDMI port cable but my laptop doesn't recognize at all the HP monitor, it is like if it were not there!
display port and HDMI are two completely different solutions.
Also a display port source can deliver hdmi signals (so this way the cable will work), a hdmi source often (always?) can't support dp signals.
This is how I understand this FAQ:
From http://www.displayport.org/faq/;
Q: I am the owner of a new 27″ iMac, which I was planning to use as a high- resolution display for an HDMI equipped Blu-Ray player. I have purchased the DP-to-HDMI adaptor after being advised by Apple technical that it would function as an input, but having tried it, discovered that the device will only OUTPUT. My question is, why won’t the adaptor pass signal the other way, and what is the adaptor doing if it’s not powered, and it’s tiny, that it can’t do backwards?
A: DisplayPort-to-HDMI adaptors and DisplayPort-to-DVI adapters are very simple and only operate one way. For instance, when a DP-to-HDMI adaptor is connected to a PC that supports DP++ (multimode) capability, the PC senses the presence of the adaptor and sends HDMI signals over the DisplayPort connector rather than DisplayPort signals. No signal conversion is performed by the HDM adaptor. HDMI signals are merely passed through. The unique DisplayPort adaptor capability enables the PC to connect to a variety of displays via the DisplayPort connector including HDMI, DVI, and VGA. VGA adaptors are more complex and perform active signal conversion from DisplayPort to VGA. These adaptors also operate only one way. Unfortunately, HDMI does not support conversion to other display formats as does DisplayPort.

My Dell Inspiron 1525 is USB connected to my Canon Pixma MX 392 printer, but is "not detecting".

My Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop is USB connected to my Canon Pixma MX392 multifunction printer. Though the
printer is functioning properly in all respects, a message is showing that my laptop "cannot detect" the printer.
At the same time I'm receiving a message (wizard?) "Found New Hardware - Windows Needs to Install Driver
Software for Your Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller". My Printer folder shows my Canon is "ready",
and the Port is shown as "USB..Virtual printer port for Canon MX390 series Printer". My Device Manager
folder lists the Canon printer and fax under "Printers", and under "Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controllers"
are listed: MX390 series (1 time); Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller (7 times); Unknown device (7 times);
USB Printing Support (2 times). I've tried unistalling and re- installing everything associated with the printer,
but get the same results. As I've stated the printer is functioning fine, but the "incessant" appearing of the
message, "Found New Hardware, etc." is extremely annoying. When I follow the "wizard's" instructions to,
"locate and install driver software (recommended)", I'm finally told to" insert the disc that came with your Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller". I don't have any discs that came with either the printer or laptop. Is
anyone able to make any sense of this...and, hopefully, offer help in getting rid of the "Found New Hardware"
message. Many thanks!

I'm not sure the error is related to your printer.

Hi Raj7108,
I would advise you to download and install the ‘TouchFreeze’ software from the link below and check for issue resolution.

Why can i only get wi fi connection to my i pad when my laptop is on ? my laptop is connected to router by wifi not a cord.

Why can I only get wi fi on my ipad when my computer is on?. My laptop is connected to router by wifi not a cord.

Yeah, that's what I ended up doing. It just wasn't worth the hassle. I got a good (standard size) monitor for about half the price of the old one, so I'm not too disappointed. Thanks for your help though

Solaris 8 on dell inspiron 7000 laptop

Hi gurus...
I need your help to install solaris 8 on my inspiron 7000 laptop.
I'm able to install until it wants to test the X window.
I tried all selection for the screen size and type but still gave me blank screen when I tested.
this notebook use ATI Rage3D LT-Pro which is I now is recognize by solaris since I could run the solaris with external monitor connected with my notebook.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Eric

What happens when you press Fn + whatever key it is to direct output to the external monitor? There could be a chance that the Solaris driver is autmatically trying to direct output to the external port. If so you may be able to override that.

Dell Inspiron 8600 will not connect to wireless airport/time capsule

I have recently made the switch to Mac. I purchased a IMAC...love it!! Yesterday UPS dropped off my time capsule. I had no problem setting up. However when I tried to use my Dell Inspiron 8600 on the wireless...I can't log on even though the networks are listed and the password is entered correctly. When hooked up to ethernet from time capsule it works great and it worked great with my previous wireless router. Could it be a set-up issue? Could it be a software issue? Any help would be appreciated.

not sure but you should give it a try..
go to System Preferences/Network press <Configure> then <Options> and make sure that the box <Disconnect from wireless metworks when I log out> is unchecked.

Dell Inspiron 3520 won't connect to my wifi

My Inspiron 3520 won't connect to a specific wifi connection I had been connecting to before. I can connect to other wifi connections but not this one specifically. Other devices are still able to connect to this wifi.

Hi,
Sounds like you just need to reset that wireless profile / connection to that specific wifi network. Here is an article from Microsoft on how to manage wireless network.
These instructions assume Windows 7:
To delete a wireless network connection
Start Network and Sharing Center.
In the Tasks pane, click Manage wireless networks.
Right-click the connection you want to delete, and then click Remove network.
In the Manage Wireless Networks - Warning dialog box, click OK.
Then reconnect to that wireless network and it should rebuild your profile for that network.
Let me know if this helps, or if you found some other way to resolve your problems.

My Ipod Touch 4th Generation wont connect to Itunes anymore

I have an Ipod touch 4th generation and suddenly it wont connect to my itunes anymore. It will connect to the computer but the device isnt shown on itunes. I cant sync my ipod up with any music or apps or even transfer pictures from my ipod to my computer. I have a Windows XP. Please help. I need my music. It used to connect automatically and with no problem.

Here

Laptop is connected to router but can't access any...

Hi Everyone
A BT engineer came yesterday to set up BT Infinity broadband in my laptop and everything worked fine until this morning.
When I switched on my laptop and my router, the icon on the bottom right hand corner of my laptop screen indicates that I'm connected to my router but when I try to open up Internet Explorer to access any website, it says that the page can't be displayed. I've tried switching both my laptop and router on and off to no avail. I'm on Windows 7 and have an HP Pavilion g6 laptop. My router is connected wirelessly to my laptop. I can surf the net with my iPad with no problems at all which suggests that the problem is with my laptop but I have no idea what the problem is and how to fix it! Has anyone come across this problem before? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Rosie

It could be that your computer has IPv6 selected. Try disconnecting it as follows:
Select Start
In the search field type.ncpa.cpl and press enter.
In the new window right click on your wireless network connection and select properties
In “This connection uses the following items” section remove the tick beside Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) then press OK
Left click on Internet Protocol IPv4, click properties . Check the options to obtain IP address and DNS server address automatically.
Once done try and connect to Internet.
Also make sure that your Wireless Network card has up to date drivers. Check on the Laptop or Network card manufatures website rather than using Windows which can be out of date.

How many laptops can connect to router at once?

Like how many active connection laptops (laptop, ipod, iphone) can connect to our 15/5 actiontec router?
Is there a limit or unlimited?
Never mind... live support answered everything

In theory you could technically connect as many devices as you'd like for as long as you can provide IP addesses to them on the network and have capable NAT equipment to cover them. In reality, you'll start seeing problems on larger networks when you connect more than say 10 or 15 devices to them. Even that is pushing it. Ideally, run what you can from Ethernet and put what little you can on a WIreless network.

Laptop wont connect

when i connect just the dsl cable into the internet spot on the back of the router, with no other computers connected to the router my laptop should get an internet signal and be able to log onto the web, right? the only wa i can isto hard wire it straight into the laptop...i really am twisted

make sure what type of internet connection your using from your ISP. it could be DSL and Cable connection.there is a different type of configuration on the router depending on the type of internet connection.

Problems galore..DS lite, and laptop wont connect

Ok, today i tried to connect my DS lite and it told me it couldnt find the IP and then i tried to connect my laptop and my laptop gave me limited access (no internet)
By the way, i have my Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and my dad's computer all connected wirelessly and the main computer is hard wired to the router. I used a WEP code which when i entered i knew was correct was because i wrote it down. Anyway, if you have any ideas what may be preventing these items from connecting please let me know.
WRT54G Ver 6 is what i have.
If need be, im going to reset my router back to square one

Hi… I would suggest you to provide static IP on DS lite and try the connection again. You may need to forward the port for the same IP address. Try the same with the laptop. If it does not work then check the WEP key once again from the setup page of this router. I think that’s what may be blocking the connection.
