T420s (4170-CTO) Windows unable to recognize network controller

I have been running ubuntu on my T420s for about 2 years now. Needed a Windows box to work from home so I installed Windows 7 Home Premium - Service Pack 1 on it. Installation went smooth but Windows did not recognize my wireless card, preventing me from connecting to the internet to download and install the rest of my drivers. I tried to manually install the Intel Wireless Lan (bg, abg, abgn) for Windows (64-bit) Centrino Advanced-N 6205 which is what I thought was installed on my machine to no avail.
Has anyone expierenced this problem before that could point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
Solved!

Hi again, xm
Thank you for the information. If you have access to an Ethernet network connection, then I would recommend downloading this driver here first. This should allow you to use a wired connection, through which you can install Windows updates and Lenovo updates, which should install the proper drivers for your machine, thus allowing you to use wireless connectivity.
Hope it helps,
Adam

Hi:
SMBus controller:
Here is what I have done...I have zipped up and attached below under Attachments, the raw smbus controller driver files for you to unzip and manually install.
Download and unzip the file.
Go to the device manager and click on the smbus controller needing drivers. Click on the driver tab. Click on Update Driver.
Select the Browse my computer for driver software option and browse to the driver folder that you unzipped.
Make sure the Include Subfolders box is checked and the driver should install. Then reboot.

My iTunes installed on my HP Windows 8 Netbook is unable to recognize my iPod, the error message along the lines of "iTunes has detected an iPod but unable to recognise"
I have followed all the trouble shooting tips and am still stuck? I am now being told by a friend I need a link sent to me to fix this??
Someone please help me fix this problem.
Many thanks.

Hi
So just close iTunes and re-open iTunes thats it and that worked for you?
When you say reset your settings do you mean to factory settings? As my iPod was swapped at the store for a new one and the problem is still there...

Unable to recognize the server status in OEPE, shows error alert

Hi,
On windows 32 , I installed the WSL 10.3.3 + OEPE and the OSB 11g.
I have configured the a base_domain with a dtabse of 10g (10.3) Express edition.
When I try to start the server from OEPE (Eclipse), the server starts and the console show the server is RUNNING. Even I can connect to OSB Console from Browser.
However, the servers tab in the eclipse unable to recognize the status, and returns back to STOPPED with an Alert message "Server xxxx unable to start.
So I am not able to do anything in the OEPE, its urgent please, any help .
Thanks in advance.
-- Khaleel

Hi Ravi,
Thanks for the suggestion. Actually the server and domain all are running well. I can start and stop from the startup menus and command scripts.
The only issue is in the Eclipse (OEPE) when I try to connect the server. However I found the solution that I need comment the localhost entry in hosts file as below.
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
Now the server is connecting well. However I have another issue, that I am not able to shutdown the server from startup menus. I suspect the t3 protocal and HTTP protocal related. If you have any suggestions please help me.
Note: if still have issues then try by removing the LAN connection, or install the Microsoft Loopback Adapter.
But I am still looking for options without commenting the localhost in the hosts entry.

Windows Deployment Service. Network Profile Radio Buttons greyed out with R2

Hi All
I have downloaded and setup Server 2008 R2 (not yet activated). I have added the following roles "DHCP Server", "DNS Server", "Active Directory Domain Services" and "Windows Deployment Services". I can PXE boot a test client machine and (using the boot.win from windows 7 dvd) multicast a XP Image to it. This setup is connected via a 100 Mb switch and is an isolated network.
Under windows deployment services - if I right click my server - select properties - network tab "Network Profile is greyed out". I have tried running wdsutil /Set-TransportServer /Server:big /Profile:100Mbps but get the following error message: "Windows Deployment Services Management Utility Version 6.1.7600.16385. Error code 0xC110011F This WDS transport server does not support network profiles.
I have tried this on two hardware setups:
An Intel D915GUX 3GHz 2GB RAM and Marvel Yukon 88E8050 ethernet controller.
An Intel D965 Core2Duo 1.86GHz 2GB RAM and Intel 82566DM Network controller.
Incidently I have done the same setup with Server 2008 (not R2) on the D965 and the Network Profile radio buttons are not greyed out. If I upgrade the same test machine to server 2008 R2 the Network Profile radio buttons are greyed out. Is this a design change, does Server 2008 R2 no longer support network profiles as I am now unable to select 10 100 or 1000 Mbs ?
If more information is required or if anything needs further detail please let me know.
Thanks for any help.

Is there any way at all to manually set or control the network profile? In my environment, a SCCM\WDS multicast stream is bottoming out on speed and network utilization when the stream crosses a Nexus 7009 router. Speeds go from 200 Mbps to 20 mbps. I have
a theory that this "new" automatic configuration is placing the clients in a slow network profile that are on the opposite side of the router and I have been unable to find a way to speed of the transmission. I have also ruled out the "master
client" slowing down the stream buy using different clients only connecting to a stream 1 at a time. I have also ruled out the router as the source of the problem by having a VLC client listen to the multicast stream on the same side of the router as
the slow clients. The VLC client (unknown to SCCM\WDS) was able to receive the transmissions at 20 % utilization / 200 Mbps.

Network controller is not recognized on Satellite A100 under Windows XP

Hi all!
I have purchased a Satellite A100 PSAAR and I have performed a clean install of Windows XP on it. I have installed all the drivers in the correct order(downloaded them from the support page) but I still have one problem:
In the device manager the ethernet controller and the network controller show up with a yellow exclamation mark and they are not recognized. I downloaded the lan driver and I got it to recognize the ethernet controller. However no matter how hard I tried, I cannot find the suitable driver for the NETWORK CONTROLLER which still shows up in the device manager in yellow color.
I could really use any help here...Thank you in advance.

Please note that Wireless Lan card is placed under the Network adapters too!!!
If you have installed the LAN (Ethernet) driver and the card was installed you should also check if a WLan card driver is needed!!!!
By the way:
If the LAN card was not recognized try this Intel Lan driver:
Intel 8256x Ethernet Controllers

I am trying to set up my new iPad 2 and to begin I installed iTunes on my laptop and connected the iPad to the USB port. Neither Windows or iTunes recognizes the device. I did everything this site told me to try and still no luck. Help!

I am trying to set up my new iPad 2 and to begin I installed iTunes on my laptop and connected the iPad to the USB port. Neither Windows or iTunes recognizes the device. I did everything this site told me to try and still no luck. Help!

You will not be able to see what version you are running until the iPad is activated. It will be in Settings>General>About >Version when you can get to the settings app.
The slider bar that you are describing sounds like the screen lock side switch and that has no bearing on setting up the iPad or connecting to WiFi.
Why don't you try rebooting your router? Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again and see if the iPad will recognize and join the network.

Windows dos not recognize mi apple tv it say it cant find the correct driver and it doesnt work do anybody know how to download the correct driver?

Does any body can tell me hoy can i find the correct driver, i tried everything, unistall de actual drver, and let windows tu search for the driver and nothing, it seems keep telling me it doesnt find the driver, itunes doesnt recognize mi appletv, what can i do?

Hi:
Install the above driver and that will install both the ethernet driver and co-processor driver.
You have a problem with the wireless card...could be minor, could be major.
The wireless card is missing from the device manager.
Install this software, reboot, and see if you can turn on the wireless card by using this software.
http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?sp4ts.oid=3357379&swItemId=ob_76368_1&swEnvOid=4052
If that doesn't get the Network Controller device to show up so that you can post the hardware ID for it, then the motherboard is shot. Power to the slot that the wireless card is connected to has been cut.
Very common problem with the Nvidia chipset motherboards with the amd processors.

Windows won't recognize 2nd ipod

I have a 5th generation ipod which works perfect with windows and itunes. I purchased a Nano . I charged it up first then pluged it in the usb 2.0 port that I use with my other unit. Windows won't recognize it. I can not find it in My Computer. In the device manager it shows up under other devices with a yellow question mark.
It claims it needs a driver and of course when I try the cd no I get one of those can't install hardware. I am using the latest versions of both software products.
I did the 5 Rs and went through this site and the help documents and nothing works. I took it back to the Apple store and they said it was working perfect.
So... I went home tried again, even disable my antivirus/firewall and no dice. I then tried it on my lap top and it installed and works fine. Where I am right now is copying what I wanted on one computer to CD and then importing the files ( sans song names) .
I am baffled on this one. One unit works fine then the nano won't be recognized on the other. Suggestions?
By a Creative?

JAToubes: Windows can only handle one iPod connected at a time )http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61713) so make sure that your other iPod is disconnected first......you might need a re-boot before re-connecting given the yellow triangle warning.
It might also be worth having a look at these other links...

What do I have to do if they still would refuse the change it? In fact I just searched for the warranty policy of apple.. So I got an problem after an update of apple, they recongized its their fault, their software fault.. In their warranty you can read the following: Cover of breakdown service or replacement with regard to. --> Lacks which arise after supply to the customer. So in fact i should get a new one?! But i can't obey them or can I? What should I do?
EDIT: in my router logs I see this a few times: Blocked incoming TCP packet from 198.144.121.77:80 to 178.117.139.126:3072 as SYN:ACK received but there is no active connection What does it mean?

My windows 7 pc recognizes my hp printer through airport but prints only various letters and symbols

my windows 7 pc recognizes my hp printer through airport but prints only various letters and symbols

Located a solution:
Go to Control Panel - Printers --- right click the printer and select Printer Properties.
Select the PORTS tab and disable Bi-Directional Printer Support. Seems to work whether the printer is installed either via USB or Cat5 to the Airport Extreme network.
For HP printers, if that first fix doesn't work, download and install the HP Install Network Printer Wizard - allow it to replace your 'newer' driver, but check hp.com for step by step instructions.
Third suggested fix is to download a PCL6 driver, or a different model-driver altogether that is more generic than model specific.

Imovie on my ipad ...refuses to recognize AVCHD Video. Also when i remove video clips already used in a project, it is unable to recognize missing clips after I've put them back. How do I get around these 2 issues?

My iMovie refuses to recognize, import, or work with AVCHD Video. It also refuses the same video clips even after I have converted them to Mp4. Also, when I delete a video clip already used in a project, then later import the same clip back to my ipad, the software is unable to recognize and find the clip again! Help! How do I get around these issues?

Hi Craig,
I also got the second problem. The storyboard on iMovie trailer has all these missing videos. If I import them on my iPad it doesn't find them.
If you find a solution it would be much appreciated to share it here ... I'll do the same.
Thanks,
Rafael
