Trouble connecting Windows Vista to TC

I have a Windows Vista laptop that just received a new hard drive that will see my TC and says that it is connected at excellant strenght, looks it connects wirelessly to the TC but will not go out to the internet. Shows the conection as "local"? I have tried resetting the TC and the cable moden several times with no luck. If I run the cable from the TC to the Laptop it conects fine. I have also tried truning off my fire wall and have had no luck. Also I have other apple and window laptops that connect without issue. Seems to be just this one. Any suggetstions?

I had a similar problem. I was able to see and access the wireless network with my Windows Vista PC, but with no internet access. As soon I turned off the WPA2 Security on the router, everything worked fine.
It turned out to be a driver problem with the network card on my notebook. I have had this problem for over a year, and finally I nailed it.
My network card is Atheros 5007b/g and it turned out that there is some problems with these cards. You need to update the driver.
As far as I can see, the Atheros network card is installed in ACER, HP and maybe other brands. I found an updated driver on userdrivers.com, and not on the manufacturers site - hmmm - and that solved.

  • HELP! I NEED TO CONNECT WINDOWS VISTA AND MY MAC TO AIRPORT EXTREME !!!!!!!

    *Im getting frustrated !*
    Specs:
    I just bought an airport extreme (802.11n)
    Mac os X 10.5.4 & Windows Vista
    I want to connect the airport wirelessly to my mac and some other wireless devices but also connect it through my D-link DSL-302G internet modem. So what i exactly want to do is airport via ethernet cable to DSL modem then DSL modem via USB to my windows vista PC.
    Problem: There is only one ethernet plug on both DSL modem and airport extreme. On my windows vista i can't figure out how to use the internet using the USB cable.
    By the way, my windows PC DOES not have a wireless card.
    Since this also associates with windows --> So if you cant help me with the windows side of things, at least give me a link .. :D:D:D:D:D

    Sounds like you've got an Airport Express, not an Airport Extreme!
    The Extreme has 4 ethernet ports, and would do exactly what you want - not sure about the Express, as I've never used one.
    Try posting a new thread, asking about sharing an internet connection using an Airport Express.

  • Trouble connecting Windows 2000 PC to Airport Extreme

    I'm having trouble connecting a PC running Windows 2000 to my Airport Extreme Base Station. The PC is using a D-Link wireless USB 2.0 adapter (802.11g) to connect to the internet. The PC would connect without problem when I was using a D-Link wireless router but will not connect with the new Apple base station.
    In addition to the Windows 2000 PC I have a Windows XP PC (connected via ethernet), an iBook G4 and an Epson printer connected to the Airport Extreme and they all work without a problem.
    Can anyone tell me how to solve my problem with the Windows 2000 machine?
    Thanks.

    I am having the same issue; since you did not seem to receive any replies on this forum, am wondering if you resolved the problem; am also wondering if my issue is the distance from my Airport Extreme base to the Windows PC. My next step is going to be to try moving the Apple router closer to the Windows PC and see if that Linksys wireless picks up the signal.

  • How to share an usb-connected Windows Vista Printer with a Mac Mini

    Hi,
    I own a laptop Sony with Windows Vista (64) which has a printer connected via USB. I recently purchased a MAC MINI (middle model) and wanted to use my laptops printer for printing from my Mac mini. is this possible? thanks. Mx

    Hey there Max,
    If you can’t find the printer in the network browser, it may be easier to add the printer manually using the URL field, as shown in the article below.

  • Having trouble installing windows vista with snow leopard

    I replaced my hard drive with a 3tb Seagate  and partitioned the hard drive and installed Snow leopard and then partitioned the hard drive with bootcamp and went to install windows vista and got the error message that windows vista cannot be installed because of the gpt partition.   Help.

    sounds like you have a 2nd hard drive.
    Also, you may run into 3TB issue with MBR. The boot partiton volume has to reside totally below 2.2TB so you would need to leave .8TB free. I think.
    have an SSD and hard drive, both? during install you can't have another drive with GPT so you can't have OS X or GUID data drive present. During install.

  • Trouble with Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 x64

    Hello everyone
    My system is in a very big mess. I'm using Ideapad y550 and recently I was hit by the continuous restart cycle. I updated my windows as usual and after a system restart as part of the update processs, windows just kept on restarting. "configuring updates part 3" and it would always be at 0%. Anyway, I searched the internet and came across a solution. I downloaded a Vista recovery disc (since Lenovo did not provide me with one) and went to command prompt and deleted a certain file that was causing this restart loop. Now, after that day I have been hit with more problems. Here
    1) windows does not update anymore. Always shows "searching for updates" and is stuck there forever
    2) "turn windows feature on/off" box is always empty.
    3) "sfc /scannow" does not work anymore. gives a "windows protection error" or something similar.
    4) I failed to install Microsoft Office 2010 as it gives this error "Error 1935 - HRESULT: 0x8007054F". I am stuck with no office application as I deleted office 2007 to install this and cannot do my university work!
    5) windows has gotten extremely slow.
    ok that is a huge list, I know. Could someone please help me? I am really lost right now and going back to factory settings is not an option since I do not have backup. I'm ready to try everything to avoid that. Any ideas anyone?
    Thanks so much for your efforts

    clean windows installation will delete all the files you have on volume c:
    i didn't suggest you to repair, cause i don't think it'll help, but you can try.
    just use windows repair to save your personal files, after then perform clean installation not to have any other issue(s).

  • Trouble connecting Windows 7 PC to Airport Extreme

    I cannot get my work pc to connect wirelessly to the Airport Extreme.  PC connects fine via ethernet.  All other devices in the house are Apple and work fine.
    Thanks

    Since you have other wireless devices connecting successfully, I will assume that your windows pc can 'see' the network ssid, and you are using the correct password.
    The only thing I can think of is you may have a wireless firewall enabled (either 3rd party or microsoft) that may be preventing you from connecting. try turning all you firewall protection off and see if that works. also, make sure your windows wireless connection properties are configured for dhcp, if that is how your network is set up.

  • WRT54GS Router-trouble connecting to vista computer

    I have 2 laptops. One is xp and one is vista. I used the setup cd to install my new router on both of them. the first thing i noticed was that there were 2 very different setups for the vista and the xp computers. when i loaded it into the xp computer it came with a proram called "easylink advisor". All i did was folow the directions and it was perfect, the xp computer is wireless. when i go onto the easy link advisor it has an option and tells you how to connect another computer to your router wirelessly. I followed all the steps on that and it did not work. as soon as i unplug the blue cord from the vista computer the internet connection is lost. I noticed that the router is connected to that computer becasue when i go to "manage wireless networks" it is there, but  when i click on the symbol by the clock and click "connect to a network" there should be a lst of all the networks i am connected to and there is nothing there. so where is my netowork??? its there according to the "manage wireless networks" page!?!?!?!
    I hope that someone can help me with this problem. I have been at this all day!
    thanks

    Try turning your ON the wireless switch of the laptop & you will be able to see the wireless networks...click yours...click CONNECT...if secured it will ask you for hte wireless password & you will be able to go ONLINE WIRELESSLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Experiencing trouble syncing with the 10.3 version of iTunes on my Windows Vista machine. Have uninstalled all Apple software twice, reinstalled and continue to get an error 7 message in connection with the Photo Processor. Any other ideas to try?

    Experiencing trouble syncing with the 10.3 version of iTunes on my Windows Vista machine. Have uninstalled all Apple software twice, reinstalled and continue to get an error 7 message in connection with the Photo Processor. Any other ideas to try?

    Hi,
    got it fixed! My Son had both files on his Win7 iTunes installation. Never mind he had no issues whith ths iTunes and iPhone Sync. So I checked my other Win XP PC, where I don't have this problem syncing my ipad, and surprise. Both files do NOT show up on this PC. So I renamed the iTunesPhotoProcessor.exe I found under c:\program file\iTunes and synced again my iPhone and it went through without any error. So the problem might be and unremoved iTunesPhotoProcessor.exe or the missing iTunesPhotoProcessor.dll under the iTunes install root folder and this even if I had checked that the folder was completely removed during iTunes unistall.
    Please try yourselve and just rename the iTunesPhotoProcessor.exe to iTunesPhotoProcessor.exe_ under c:\program file\iTunes or get a copy of the missing iTunesPhotoProcessor.dll and cp to c:\program file\iTunes.

  • Windows Vista trouble finding airport base station

    I recently bought an AirPort Extreme 802.11n. It was easily able to connect it to my mac, but when I try to connect it to my Windows Vista desktop computer, the base station in the airport utility software cannot be found. It finds the internet from the base station, but when I try to connect to it, it says windows cannot connect to the internet. I set up a linksys wi-fi usb, but it still cannot find the base station. The pc is only two years old. Please help.

    I had the same trouble with my Vista pc. I had set it up on the Airport Extreme network, but did a firmware update and lost the PC connection. I rolled it back to the previous version, but it was still intermittent or not seeing the Airport at all. I went in to the Airport Utility and changed the Channel setting from Automatic to Manual and selected another channel. This worked and my PC could see the network OK and connect.
    I'm still having trouble connecting to my MAC from the Vista Pc, but I can connect to the Vista from my MAC. Both can see the network/internet OK.

  • Trouble with itunes ipod and windows vista

    I just got a new computer with windows vista home premium (32bit) and i am having trouble syncing my ipod with itunes.
    when i connect the ipod it asks me if i want to scan and fix the drive, if i click continue without scanning it sometimes wont let me sync, and if it does it only gets about half my music on there before saying it is unable to write to it (unknown error 53)

    I have a similar problem, with my new iPod Touch crashing an XP Professional setup. It's worth noting that the Apple article also talks about potential USB conflicts with other devices on the system that might have bad drivers. They say the solution, if that is the fault, is to make sure all your USB drivers are good. I'll try that, by a process of elimination, before re-installing iTunes (as I thought I had the latest version and I don't have Vista). I'll come back here later to report the outcome.
    (serious if your iPod crashed your PC - can't even charge its battery ! )

  • Please help. ive bought a second hand ipod nano, when i connect it to my  pc it recognises it as a sigma mass usb device, yet its a 8gb ipod nano,and i tunes does not recognise it, im running on windows vista basic yet my own 80g classic ipod runs perfect

    please help. ive bought a second hand ipod nano, when i connect it to my pc, it does not recognise it in itunes,yet it comes up as a sigma mass usb device. its an ipod nano 8gb?. im running on windows vista,my own ipod classic runs fine.

    there is a good chance that this can be related to bad contact in USB lead.. e.g not enough power from IPOD to PC so that pc cannot recognise it. Where I work I get alot of USB devices on pc's that are not recognised and most of the time it is the connection to the device that is not good enough because the flat end of the USB adapter has been gradually bent over time just slightly and now contact is not good. It can also be todo with drivers or If you are using it through a USB hub.
    so if it is not working through USB hub try direct. also try in back of PC as these Ports or direct access to main board to pc and would be less trouble some if there was a voltage loss from mainboard in pc to front of unit.

  • USB Connections on Windows Vista 32-bits edition

    Hi. Since I installed Windows Vista 32 bits edition (don't ask me why, but when I used the 64 bits edition- which I uninstalled because some games didnt' work well- this didn't happen), I have this trouble.
    I have a N80. When I use the USB Connection in PC Suite Mode, the Nokia PC Suite perfectly detects the phone, and Windows installs the drivers by downloading them from Windows Update, I know this because when the balloon in bottom right corner appears, it says "Installing new hardware software..." and if I click, the little windows apeears, and it says "Downloading from Windows Update".
    The problem comes when it finishes installing it. Windows says that there was an error when installing new devices, the error code is 28, and the legend is:
    The name is already used as a service name or as a display name of some service.
    Or something like that, I have Windows in spanish and I tried to translate it. And the Nokia PC Suite never displays "Nokia N80 connected via USB", always remain as "No connected phones". This doesn't happens if I use the bluetooth mode, but I need the USB because I want to check if firmware updates are avaliable and other things.
    I tried in differents USB ports with the same results.
    Has anybody had a similar experience or any idea? Or maybe is this a known issue? (obviusly known by everybody but me, ...)

    - Ihave the exact same problem as you do and so far have not found a solution to the problem. Everytime I check the post board I see more and more have viewed your post but no one else seems to have an answer for you either. I e-mailed tech support and answer I got was no help what so ever to me. So posting a comment to your question in hopes of getting someone's attention that maybe can help us both. Who knows maybe Creative might even respond to us.

  • Ad Hoc Connection with Windows Vista

    Ok I know that this question has been asked many times over, however I am having trouble finding anything that is similar to my setup. So here we go. I have a laptop that is connected directly to the internet. I am trying to get my iTouch connected to the internet through the ad hoc connection that I have setup. I was able to get it connected for a short amount of time once, but haven't been able to get it connected since. I am not too savy to this whole networking so that is why I am here. Most of the threads I have read are a hard to understand for me. If anyone can help me out I would be greatly appreciated.
    16 GB iTouch
    Toshiba Satellite
    Windows Vista

    I assume that you want to use your Windows computer as the network source for the iPad to join so read this.
