Win7 Home Premium - systray Wireless network connection icon?

Hi,
My home wireless connection is running fine and I do not have my Ethernet cable plugged in.
In the systray part of the taskbar, there used to show a Wireless network connection icon - a little graphic icon that looked like 5 vertical bars side-by-side, with bars increasing in height, left to right. That icon is no longer in the systray and
it appears to have been replaced by the "wired" icon - a little square with a tiny picture of a plugger on its left side. And since I don't have my Ethernet cable plugged in, there's a little red "x" on the wired icon. I don't
know what I did to cause the wired icon to replace the Wireless network connection icon in the systray. Any idea how I screwed this up and how to put things back again?

Hi cwr64,
It might be caused by netsh command using. Please try following methods
Method1: Uninstall all “6to4 Afapter” and “isatap” device in device manager.
Right click this computer->Properties->Device manager->View->show hidden devices
Right click and uninstall all “6TO4 Adapter” and “isatap” devices in
Network adapters.
Method 2
Please try to uninstall all your network adapter driver and reinstall them again. Then restart your computer check if the icon comes back. It might be caused by netsh command using.
Note: backup or download your adapter driver before removing the drivers from device manager.
Regards

2nd Computer Requires a Manual Wireless Network Connection Setting on Powerup

2nd Computer Requires a Manual Wireless Network Connection Setting on Powerup
On power-up, my 2nd computer, a 3 yo IBM R51, requires that I open the Network Connections window, then set the Wireless Network Connection Properties under the Wireless Network Tab, clicking on "Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings", before the automatic connection launches to the WRT150N v1.1 router signal.
I just bought the router and have the latest firmware.
My primary computer does not require the above settings change every time.
Is there a selection I can make so this is automatic on power-up or restart of my 2nd computer?

It was already set to automatic on both extended and standard tabs.
For a good measure, I set it to disable, applied, then reset it to automatic and applied again. Still does same thing.
I notice that if I double click on the small icon for the Intel ProWireless Network Card, I get a Wireless Connection Status Window.
This window has a Wireless Settings section where it seems to have a possibly obsolete "Current Location Profile" called ssnetwork (the name of my old network on my old D-Link router that I just changed out for the Linksys.
Anyway, the Network Name (SSID) field is now blank but when it first came up, it had the new name of the network I'm using.
Do you know how I access this "Current Location Profile" so I can edit it and possibly enter my new network name?
There is a button at the bottom of the screen called "Modify WLAN Settings" that I click but nothing launches when I do so.
Now that I manually did the connection setting, my network name appears in the "Current Location Profile."

Netsh does not work to set IP address of "Wireless Network Connection"

On Windows 7 Professional
This set of commands work for configuring the "Local Area Connection"
netsh interface ip set address name="local area connection" static 74.94.87.157 255.255.255.248 74.94.87.158 1
netsh interface ip set dns name="local area connection" static 8.8.8.8
netsh interface ip add dns name="local area connection" 68.87.77.130 index=2
BUT for the WiFi connection, this command errors with this message "ELEMENT NOT FOUND"
netsh interface ip set address name="Wireless Network Connection" static 74.94.87.157 255.255.255.248 74.94.87.158 1
BUT the 2 following dns commands DO work for the Wifi Connection.
netsh interface ip set dns name="Wireless Network Connection" static 8.8.8.8
netsh interface ip add dns name="Wireless Network Connection" 68.87.77.130 index=2

I FOUND A SOLUTION
I manually renamed the interface from "Wireless Network Connection" to "Wifi"
Then when I use "WiFi" in the command line, I no longer get the
ELEMENT NOT FOUND error.
I have no idea why renaming the interface works . . as shown on original post above, "set dns name" command worked without the name change, but the "IP set Address" did not work.
Anybody know what this is about ?

Issue Resolved. I did not turn on the wireless switch.

Bootcamp Windows 7 Wireless Network Connection: No Valid IP Configuration

I just bought a new 13" MBP and have installed Windows 7 Ultimate via Bootcamp 5.0. I installed the Windows Support Software that I had previously downloaded via Bootcamp Assistant on Mac OS. Although the Wireless Network Connection asked for my network key and connects to the network, I cannot access the internet. The troubleshooter find this problem: "Wireless Network Connection" doesn't have valid IP configuration. I am using my old Dell computer and it is connecting to the wireless properly and my MBP can connect on Mac OS, so I don't think it's a router issue. Here are the things I have tried so far to resolve this issue, but none have worked:
Uninstalling the Broadcom Network Adapter driver, restarting the computer, and reinstalling
Repairing the Windows Support Software with the Bootcamp 5.0.5033 Support Software Update downloaded from www.apple.com
Uninstalling the Broadcom Network Adapter driver, restarting the computer, and reinstalling the driver from Bootcamp 5.0.5033

Please help!

Did you find a solution for this? I have exaclty the same problem.
But I could temporarily solve it by setting an IP, gateway, dns etc manually. But that will only work in my current wifi-network.
I can't even get internet sharing from my iphone

OK to copy Win7 (Home Premium SP1) disk to external hard drive?

The MICROSOFT SOFTWARE LICENSE TERMS for Windows 7 Home Premium SP1
say:
10. BACKUP COPY.
a. Media.If you acquired the
software on a disc or other media, you may make one backup copy of the media. You may use it only to reinstall the software on the licensed computer.
That tells about backing up the installation media.
What about "backing up" the Windows disk itself, by copying a mirror image it to an (portable) external hard drive, similar to what's mentioned in
According to Malmition's November 12, 2012 Making a copy of Windows disk - Microsoft technical link request
post on this forum:
I work with an engineer that feels he constantly needs to restore his windows 7 drive to its original state.
He does this by have a copy of his c drive - it is not an image and he is not using any imaging software - just a flat copy of his c drive.
When we wants to start over he formats his drive, boot from a thumb drive, and copies the c drive back.
This is working fine for him.
I've watched him do the copy back and forth so I see he's not using anything to image like ghost, acronis, etc
I thought you couldn't just copy your windows drive?
I'd like to do something similar.
Is that allowed by the Win7 Home Premium SW license terms?
Thank you.
- Russell J (USA)

Sorry to say: Try to solve real problems.
Major drawback: You have not specified what license you have. Specification Win7 Home Premium is not enough.
1. Do not compare installation content on DVD and that of on hard disk. Installation disk contains packed files for your Windows. Sector by sector copy of HDD is NOT the same as what you can find on install DVD. From the point of law, the backup use (native,3rd
pty or by DD sector by sector) is legal, if you use it for restoration of Windows on HDD for the same computer, if you have ONE license.
2. No one could object the situation, when you are backing multiple times (full, incremental,... backup)
3. You cannot discuss c: drive only, because there is another partition that is important, namely hidden system partition. (Minimum of two partitions). License should cover the whole disk, not boot partition only.
4. There are special rules for OEM, multilicenses, ... I have created system image that I distributed on many computers, because of I used special licenses that allow for multiple use in lab environment (Campus License, MSDN Academic Alliance, Dreamspark)

Where is the Linksys Wireless Network Monitor icon?

I was trying to follow some instructions and it said to click on the Linksys Wireless Network Monitor icon on the bottom right of my screen. There are a bunch of icons but none of them are this one or any other Linksys icon. I also searched the harddrive and couldn't find anything. Help!!!

Try uninstalling it and reinstall it back again.
If you're using windows XP, plug in the adapter first and just install the drivers. No need to install the WLAN monitor.

Conflict with WRT160N and Windows Wireless Network Connection

I have a WRT160N router connected to a Verizon FIOS cable modem with five computers (all Windows based) wirelessly connected to the N router. Four of the computers auto detect the N router connection when the computer starts up using Windows Wireless Network Connection and operate well. One of the computers, which is the only one running Easylink for router configuration, will not connect through the Wireless Network Connection. I have to use Easylink to manually connect. The WNC gives a msg that Windows cannot configure this wireless connection and to configure the wireless connection using Wireless Zero Configuration service. When I configure WZC correctly the WNC sees all available networks and allows me to select the Advanced Wireless checkbox to allow Windows to connect to the wireless network. However, when I reboot the computer none of the configuration parameters are saved and I am back to manually connecting using Easylink and going through the entire process again. Any suggestions? Thx

Uninstall the EasyLink and connect manually. I think EasyLink 3.0 or later is coming soon ..

Airport Express! wireless network connection promp need Help!

First time user cant hook up to my wireless network just bought airport express to extend my my network but I keep on get an error say that my wireless network connection is valid any help anyone please on the brink of giving up!

Hi, yonhtna. Welcome to the forums!
Would you mind answering a few questions? I need a little more information about your network setup and about the exact nature of the problem.
1) What type of router is your main router?
2) Do you plan on using the Express to extend the range of your network, or are you only going to be using it for AirTunes or printer sharing?
3) When and where do you see the error message? If possible, can you provide the exact wording?
4) Is AirPort Utility able to find the Express?

Recovering to Win7 Home Premium 64-bit version [ L505-S5984 ]

Hi there,
I purchased a L505-S5984 in the black friday sales, comes bundled with 3gb memory and a 250gb hard drive. It's also pre-loaded with Win7 home premium - 32bit edition.
Does anyone know how the Toshiba recovery process works, especially, what factor determines whether a user will be prompted to install the 32bit vs the 64bit version of the operating system?
I'm examined the recovery media and believe, filewise, everything is there for a 64 bit installation. I suspect theres some (config) setting(s) with the recovery image such that it wont give an option for a 64bit installation?
Anyone else played around with this?
Thanks

I believe that there is a post in the Windows 7 forum here that tells how to do this on some models. I don't remember specifically which one it is, but the Subject Line was something on the order of 32bit to 64bit.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

Upgrading Win7 Home Premium 32-bit to Win7 Home Premium 64-bit

I just purchased a Thinkpad X201 that came preinstalled with Win7 Home Premium 32-bit installed and I would prefer to run the 64-bit version. Is there any way I can inexpensively get the necessary DVD(s) and will the current product key on my laptop validate the 64-bit version? I understand that this will require a clean install but as MS normally provides both the 32-bit and 64-bit version of Win7 with there standard OEM sets I was hoping that Lenovo could provide me the necessary DVD(s) at little or no cost (shipping?).
Solved!
Go to Solution.

alternatively you can download the legal version of the 64 bit ISO from notebookreview forum ('google notebookreview win 7 iso download).
Then use that to install the version of the win 7 you want, and you can activate that OS with the serial key that you have received with your laptop on the sticker under the laptop.
