How to fix Windows 8.1 "limited access" internet?

I have just upgraded to Windows 8.1 (NOT preview) from Windows 8 a few days ago and now the internet completely doesn't work on my Asus X550CC series notebook. It displays "limited access" and sometimes the internet bars has no indication of
a limited access. Internet was fully functional before I upgraded my notebook. Internet broswers, IE, Firefox and Chrome and Windows applications don't work. There's nothing wrong with my wireless internet because it works perfectly on other computers and
internet devices. Please help, this internet problem is really causing inconveniences! What can I do to fix this problem? Thanks.

Thanks for the reply,
I've already read that article and it has not helped me with my problem.
I've done a Windows Connection Diagnostics test and says it has detected problems that were not able to be fixed automatically:
"Problem with wireless adapter or access point" and
"Your computer appears to be currently configured, but the device or resource (www.microsoft.com) is not
responding" What does all this mean anyway?
I was advised to reinstall my laptop NIC driver by AsusTek and hopefully that'll resolve my problem, I'll let you know.
Edited:
When I opened my computer, I realised I had internet access and was so happy, soon finding out it only lasted for 15 mins and then dropped completely and wouldn't come back. The next day, I went on to see if
it'll work again and it did! I quickly checked if there was a Windows Update and there was, updated and internet is back and running smoothly, fixing my "limited access" issue.
Hope this fixes your same problem, goodluck.

    How do I fix Windows 7 error 126 when trying to open itunes

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • How can we allow internal users to access internet through ASA firewall?

    Hello,
    I am new to security track, i have been asked to setup lab and allow users from inside firewall to access internet. here is my lab setup
    PC -> switch 1 (layer2) -> (inside) ASA (outside) -> switch 2 (Layer2) -> Router
    does switch 2 port needs internet access through router?
    what configuration required on ASA to allow users behind the firewall to access internet?
    any help on this would be much appreciated.
    thanks,

    Hi,
    Okay , can you clarify on this for me. Are you able to ping the internet from the ASA outside interface ?
    Just try something like this:-
    ping 4.2.2.2 .. Does this work ?
    If this does not work , then i think the ASA even is not able to get to the internet and that would be a problem on the router.
    Also , internet from Switch 2 is not a requirement as that is only a Layer 2 device.
    You can assign the ISP allocated address on the PC , connect it to the Switch 2 port and then try to ping something on the internet or surf internet and i think that should work.
    Thanks and Regards,

  • How to setup the guest network just access internet only (not touch in internal server)

    I had setup the AirPort Extreme in basic and guest network, but observed the guest can access to our server currently, for the security issue, we can setup the guest network to access internet only? pleae advice and thanks

    By default, a properly configured Guest network on the AirPort Extreme only allows network clients to access the Internet. No access to the "main" network's resources should be available.
    This is assuming that the AirPort Extreme is the only or "main" router in your current network configuration.

  • How to fix window boot manager has been blocked by the current security policy on acerv5window 8.1

    Hi..  When do you xactly get this error message?Are you trying  to boot your computer using a cd?Are you trying to load another operating system?  Secure Boot is a feature designed to prevent malicious software and unauthorized media from loading during the boot process. This option is enabled by default, but can be turned off in UEFI / BIOS. Select your Windows 8 device and use the following steps to change the Secure Boot setting:Completely shut down the computer.Power on the system. As soon as the first logo screen appears, immediately press F2 to enter the BIOS.Use the right arrow key to select Security.Use the down arrow key to highlight Set Supervisor Password and press Enter.Create a password and press Enter. Retype the password to confirm and press Enter again.Use the right arrow key to select Boot.Press the down arrow key to select Secure Boot and press Enter.With the arrow key, highlight Disabled and press Enter.Press the F10 key and select Yes to save the changes and exit the BIOSWe suggest removing the supervisor password immediately after enabling Secure Boot. If you choose not to remove your supervisor password, make sure you write it down for future use. 

    I fixed this issue when I realised I had set a passoword many months ago when I was in Windows 8.1 If you found that your BIOS is locked, use a password you've used for other 'important' things. Cheers, Dave  I have an Acer Aspire E1-571 I'm having the same problem - however when I press F2 it goes to a blue security box saying: Enter Current Password: I don't have a password. It was set by the factory, I bought it new. How do I get around this. The last hard drive is trapped - I can't fix it, even with Microsoft's chat help when they accessed my computer remotely.I bought a new hard drive, and have the Windows 7 Professional DVD in the drive - but it can't access it under the current Security Settings - only to find it has a Password - thus my visit to this forum today. Any help you can offer would be gratefully accepted.

  • How to fix windows error 7

    How do I fix this error code?

    Hi surferman!
    It sounds like you will need to uninstall and reinstall iTunes to fully resolve this issue. iTunes requires that the components of iTunes be uninstalled in a specific order from the control panel, and that specific order can be found in this article about uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
    It is important to note that:
    iTunes Store purchases or songs imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default and are not deleted by removing iTunes. While it is highly unlikely that you will lose any contents of your iTunes Library when following these steps, it is always a good idea to ensure that your iTunes library is backed up. If you're unsure how to backup, see iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive.
    These steps may take a significant amount of time to complete, depending on your system.
    If you run into any issues while attempting to reinstall iTunes, you may want to reference this article as well:

  • How to get windows 7 pc to access a printer connected to airport express

    Hi,
    I have connected an airport express to my BT home hub and created a new Wi-Fi network. I have also connected a Canon MP550 series printer to the express which I can access to print from my macboon pro. However I am unable to print from my Windows 7 SP1 laptop even if I connect using the same Wi-Fi network. Have used Bonjour and it installs the printer but still cannot print from my Win7 laptop. Any suggestions why is it happening?
    Thank you.

  • How to fix MiFi 2200 that VZ Access Mgr can't find (no status light)?

    I have a new Verizon MiFi 2200 I am trying to get running.  VZAM software was downloaded successfully.  Windows (XP SP3) Device Manager recognizes the phone as a modem when I plug it into the USB. It shows the drivers were installed.    If I press the master reset with a paper clip, device manager drops the the modem out, and then picks it up again right away.  Unfortunately, the windows modem query does not get an answer back.  And, VZAM software doesn't find it as a device either.
    I have a solid green power light.  But, there status/activity light won't come on.  Pressing the power light didn't fix it.  Pressing the master reset didn't fix it, either.
    I reinstalled the VZAM software.  I tried  another laptop running Windows 7 - still no communication.  VZAM downloaded the firmware update.  When it tried to install it, it could could not write it into the MiFi.
    The Verizon tech service phone people tried to tell me I need to buy service first, before the computer software can communicate with the WiFi, but that is NOT what the manual says.  It sounds like a hardware issue to me.
    So, any highly experienced people ---- shall I send this boat anchor back, or do you have suggestions for another route I can go???
    Thanks for your help.
    P-beau

    I got partway.  I went to a VZW store and they got me a phone number, linked to the inherent device number.  Then, it became apprarent that the device is defective. My supplier is sending out a new one,  I'll be travelling a lot, and won't be there to receive it for a while, then back on the road again.  I'll check back in when this gets resolved,
    Thanks for the reply

  • How to fix windows 7 startup failure? Windows startup repair cannot help

    Recently, my laptop have problem with the startup and unfortunately it is showing crash dump error as well.
    This is the error mesage for startup issues: c000021a fatal system error, intial session process or system process terminate
    and this is error message for crash dump: STOP: 0x0000000A (0xFFFFF80003BEDE60, 0x0000000000000002, 0x0000000000000008, 0xFFFFF80003BEDE60)
    So, when i start my laptop it comes up with the startup c000021a fatal system error. I tried to go to startup repair and chose the "Last Known Good Configuration (advanced)" after that it shown system crash dump error message.
    Unfortunately, I did not make the restore point. I want to reinstall my windows but it cant boot from CD/DVD due to startup failure. I already choose the booting sequence to CD/DVD as first sequences but it still does not work.
    Anyone can help me with this issues?
     

    Hi Arie K,
    Please explain a bit about the following question for better analyzation:
    1. What changes have you made before this issue?
    2. Do you receive the same error message when we use the normal boot, safe mode and Last Known Good Configuration? If no please share it with us.
    3. What error messages do you receive when we try to boot from CD/DVD?
    We could try to use the USB driver to performance the system restore or reinstall.
    For more information, please refer to the following article.

  • How do I allow other users limited access to iPhoto?

    I am seeking to create other user accounts for my Mac that will allow my wife and my 8 year old to view photos in iPhoto but will not allow them to screw it up (i.e., will not allow them to edit or delete any photos, etc.).  Is there a way that I can give them access to view only?  Thanks.

    When you share a Photo Stream and invite a family member to view it, the family member will see the photo stream in the iPhoto Library, in the iCloud section:  It will look like regular albums.

    ENVY dv7, Windows 8. After refreshing Windows, Windows update is stuck at 0%

    Hi Diaz418198,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP ENVY dv7 Notebook and getting a screen on startup at 0%. Try performing a hard reset. When performing a hard reset please note remove any and all USB devices, and remove memory cards from the card reader slot. Disconnect all non-essential devices. If that does not help try to turn on the computer you start to press F11 repeatedly till the menu opens. You can do a system restore.
