My network adapter is not being detected HELP!

Ok here's the deal. My computer isn't amazing but it gets me by however two days ago I went to use it and I couldn't connect to the internet. I check the drivers and the device manager and found out that it isn't even detecting that I have a wireless card... I don't know what I can do but Im really hoping I can fix this on my own without having to buy a new card. I called HP and they are stupid and asked me the same questions 3 times and then told me it'd be $298 to fix it. Please help!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Simplest thing would be to have your local Geek Squad check it out and see if the wireless card is bad. If so, the card plus labor would be about $75 or so before tax.

    You need to ask your network admin folk to check your PC and ensure that it is correctly configured for IP networking for your network - valid IP address, valid IP subnet mask, etc.
    You can look at your existing IP configuration in Windows by opening a command console and typing the command "+ipconfig+".
    Once that is done, you need to test connectivity between your PC and the database server. You need the IP address of the server for that and use the "+ping+" command to see if you get a ping echo response from the server.
    If you configure your Oracle client software (e.g. +%ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin\tnsnames.ora+ ) to use a hostname and not IP address, you need to make sure that your PC's IP stack can resolve that hostname into an IP address. Once again the "+ping+" command can be used, but this time using the hostname instead. The output will show the IP address the hostname resolved to.
    All these are basic networking issues - and have nothing really to do with Oracle itself. You first need to get the networking to work on your PC, before attempting to use Oracle client-server.

  • Jdbc. The Network Adapter could not establish the connection. Help Please!!

    I've found several responses over this issue, but none works for me.
    I'm trying to setup a simple jdbc connection from a simple program.
    Platform:
    Fedora Core 4 (FC4) on AMD 64 bits
    Java 1.4.2_04 (64 bits)
    ORacle 10g or Oracle 9.2.0.4 (none works);
    Tips:
    - I can't connect to a remote server, nor to a local server
    - I can connect using SQLplus
    - TNSPing works fine
    - Listener it's up
    - my connection string is jdbc:oracle:thin:user/name@host:port:sid
    - Also try jdbc:oracle:thin:user/name@//host:port/sid
    - I'v tryied with classes12.jar, odbj14.jar
    - my hostname it's ok.
    I've monitored ip traffic on remote computer. While using TNSPING I detect activity. While using jdbc, no.
    Please, any idea??

    Thanks for your reply.
    To your questions:
    - I´v tried both IP, host, and even host.domain
    - I can connect from remote workstation using toad, and from local using sqlplus.
    - I can´t connect via jdbc.
    Folowing:
    A) my sample code
    B) the stack trace
    C) the listener status (from my 9i server. Also tryied another servr with 10g)
    when I call this program, I´ve tried severl connection strings:
    jdbc:oracle:thin:user/pass@sdd51:1521:ebf
    jdbc:oracle:thin:user/pass@:sdd51.sdd.com.ar:1521:ebf
    jdbc:oracle:thin:user/pass@:10.10.10.51:1521:ebf
    also try the other sintax:

  • IPhone not being detected by computer, stuck in DFU mode. Please help.

    My iPhone is not being detected by my computer. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes 3 times to no avail. This occurred during a restore in which the computer lost connection to the phone and left it in DFU mode. Please help. I also must add that my lock button is broken as well.

    If your button is broken there's probably no way to recover the phone. You will need to get the hardware problem resolved first.

  • HP 550 charger not being detected?

    Hi, I currently have a problem with mY HP 550 charger i have not been able to use my computer for over 6 months cos of this. the laptop is around 3 years old, a while back my charger was working normally and then all of a sudden it stopped working... it wasnot charging the laptop at all..... I have tried to put it in again and again...the  charger is still not being detected. andi t wont charge the battery.. I had to resort to using libary computers (ughh my god there slow)  so now my laptop battery is dead.... I decided to try and fix my laptop today..... when I put my laptop charger in the light goes bue then white and then it just goes blank.... tried it with the another AC adapter which is compatible with my laptop still not working... tried my PS2 AC adapter not working... HOW CAN I FIX THIS?!?!

    Please be careful what adaptors you plug into your notebook. Some adaptors have different voltages and amp capability.  You can damage your notebook if you apply too much voltage. I believe your adaptor should read 18.5 volts, 3.5 Amps and 65W but that information should be printed right on the adaptor. Make sure you don't use and adaptor you should not be using. Have someone test your adaptor to make sure it is putting out the correct voltage.  Try to remove the battery and just plug in the power adaptor and see if you can turn on the machine. Try to reset the machine by removing the battery and the power adaptor and holding in the power button for a full minute, then plug the power adaptor back in and then the battery and try to start the machine. Let us know what happens.

  • "The Network Adapter could not establish the connection" on Debian

    On a new Debian server I was getting the following error when running my Java code:

    Since none of the solutions listed on this forum worked for me, here is what fixed it:

    Hope it will help others here!

    In 8.1.7, we had some restrictions on the selectors that could be used with QueueReceiver
    Only the following were supported:
    JMSMessageID = 'ID:23452345' to retrieve messages that have a specified message ID (all message IDs being prefixed with
    ID:)
    JMSCorrelationID = 'RUSH' or JMSCorrelationID LIKE 'RE%' to retrieve messages that have a certain correlationID
    The selector that the customer is using will work with TopicSubscribers. On topics users can use user-defined properties such as
    color='RED';
    The selectors are documented in Chapter 12- Application developer's guide - Advanced Queuing.
    In Oracle9i, the QueueReceiver has been enhanced to support all types of selectors including the user-defined properties

  • My Ipod Nano 5th generation is not being detected by Widows and Itunes. I have tried everything based on the trouble shooting tips outlined. Has anyone had this situation before? How was it resolved. My Ipod is just out of warrenty

    Have done all trouble shooting tech a through Apples and still have not resolved issues on Windows and itunes not detecting my Ipod  nano 5th generation device. Tried restoring the device manually using disk mode and still not being detected by the computer. Device is our of warenty as when service repair charges are $125.00 dolars more than I paid for this device. There must be some way to restore the entire device to factor settings without having to be connected to itunes and Windows. I wish I could connect but again device is not being read. I have another Ipod that is 8GB instaed of 16GB and it works fine. The sad thing about this situation is that my 9year old daughter worked hard doing delivering fliers for a long time to save her money to buy this 16 GB 5th generation Nano. Otherwise the Ipod works well but will not syncronize songs as it is not being detected. Maybe this is a result of corrupt files that got onto my daughters Ipod somehow and thus causing it not the be detwected through the USB connection thus as a result not be understoud as a working device through Windows and itunes. If anyone can help me out there including itune techs that would be well appreciated, but for now my daughter is not able to add new or delete any songs on her ipod as well pictures, and everything. Thanks

    Try changing the cord. I could NOT get my computer to recognize my iPod 5th Gen until I read somewhere that different apple devices use different cords. I was inadvertently using my iPad cord and that caused my computer to not recognize my ipod.

  • IPhone 6 and iPod Touch 5 not being detected by iTunes 12

    iPod 5 and iPhone 6 is not being detected after I downloaded iTunes 12.1.2
    Tried changing the lightning conductor, that didn't help either.
    Re-installed iTunes but it was of no use. :/

    See iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.
