Windows does not connect to wireless network on startup! Please help!.
Hello. A few days ago i watched a tutorial on youtube on how to remove the red "x" problem over my internet icon, by deleting a file called "Config" in "Network" by opening"Regedit". I know see that I never should
have done that. I did that, and after that every time when I start up my computer it will not automatically connect to my wireless network as it did before i deleted that "Config" file.
Anoyone out there that know how I can fix this?. Thanks.
Hi,
Before we edit the registry, have we performed a backup of the registry files? Do we have any backup available before the changes? If yes, please take use of the backups.
Besides, could you please have a share for which tutorial you have followed? Or please share with the full registry path?
Have you tried to reconfigure the wireless network settings with your laptop?
For reference of wireless issues in Windows 7:

HP LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP M175nw does not connect to wireless network
I recently upgraded my wireless network router. I had my HP LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP M175nw connected to the old wireless network router. The SSID is password protected (WPA2)
I need to connect the printer to the new wireless network router. However, neither the control panel nor blue wireless connection button provide any way for me to do this. The manual has not walked through a way to do this.
There really needs to be a simple, no-nonsense way to just connect the printer to the wireless network. How do I connect this printer to a new wireless network?Hi @shakayumi ,
I see that you are having issues configuring the printer on the new router. I would like to help.
Restore the printer's network defaults.
Touch the Setup button. (wrench)
Select Network Setup Menu.
Then select Restore Defaults.
Print out a configuration report to make sure the IP address is 0.0.0.0 and the SSID is cleared.
Printing a Configuration Report.
Here are the directions for setting up the printer through the Wireless Direct to configure the printer over the network as Infrastructure.
Turn the Wireless Direct on the printer.
On the printer touch the setup button, (wrench) then select network setup menu, select wireless menu, select wireless direct and turn it on.
On the computer, in the bottom right corner click on the wireless icon and select the printer from the list to connect to. Then open Internet Explorer and type in the IP address (192.168.223.1) for the printer in the address bar.
This will load the embedded web server for the printer.
Select the networking tab, wireless on the left hand side.
Fill out all your network information, select infrastructure, select your network name, put in password and type of encryption. Apply settings.
Click on the wireless icon and connect back to your network name.
Print out a configuration report to make sure the IP address is valid. (192... or 10....)
Now create a new port, this will save you the time, instead of uninstalling and reinstalling the software.
Go to Start, Devices and Printers, right click the printer, go to Printer Properties, select the Ports tab.
Click Add Port, select Standard TCP/IP Port, then select New Port and follow the wizard.
Type in the proper IP address for the printer.
Make sure the printer is online.
Test the printer.
If you are still having issues, then try this method:
If you have a Ethernet cable, connect it from the printer to the router.
Wait about a minute, print the configuration page to see if you get a IP address.
Then type the IP address into Internet Explorer's address bar to bring up the printer's web page.
Select the networking tab, wireless on the left hand side.
Fill out all your network information, select infrastructure, select your network name, put in password and type of encryption. Apply settings.
Then disconnect the Ethernet cable.
Then wait a minute to see if you get a wireless light on the printer, print the configuration page and check the IP address again. Then type the IP address into Internet Explorer's address bar to bring up the printer's web page.
If the printer is back on the network, create a new port. Steps are listed above.
Make sure the printer is online.
Try and print now.

Hp6600 does NOT recognize my wireless network IN THE WIZARD
My hp6600 does not recognize my wireless network. It recognizes others in the area but not mine I have tried the network wizard several time and the online help but it's not working. I bought this machine especially so that I can print wirelessly. It would cost me $100 to have someone from Geek come in, that's ridiculous. i should be able to set up my own printer. I set up a hp8600 at home.
Hi @fedup22,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I am sorry to hear that your HP Officejet 6600 is not recognizing your wireless network, but I am happy to help!
For further assistance, I will need to know some additional information:
If the printer is able to make copies.
If you are using a Windows or Mac Operating System, and the version number. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
If the power cable is plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
In the meantime, please see the following:
This printing guide, Print Jobs are Stuck in the Print Queue as it address the fact the printer is offline.
Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection. (Once established this guide will help you maintain the connection.)
This website as a lot of information on wireless printing. Wireless printing center.
Hope this information helps, and have a good day!

Can not connect to wireless networks with ipad 2
My ipad used to connect to the wireless net at home and in public areas.
Now all by the sudden it can't "see" the network.
Message: " could not connect to wireless network"
I have tried "everything" also on different networks,
except resetting the modem.
My iPhone works, as do all my other computers.
Modem is Zyxel P2812Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

i am using firefox 3.6.17 i upgraded it to 4.1.but it does not work properly sometimes it opens every website and most of the time it does not work . so what is the problem please help . thank you
Did you check your security software (firewall)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

Apple TV does not find AirportExpress wireless network
Hi all,
this problem is driving me nuts, maybe someone here can help.
At the moment I have an Apple TV in our living room. There is an AirportExpress device in the same room, which is creating a wireless network (WAP/WAP2 Personal, name "BNK") and is connected to a DSL modem.
All computers (my MacBook Pro, my wife's Sony laptop) easily find the wireless network, whether they are in the living room or in any other room of our apartment.
The Apple TV, however, never finds our network - it gives me a list of many other networks from our neighbors, but our own network is never in the list. This even happens when the Apple TV is about 2 meters away from the AirportExpress.
Does anyone have any idea why the Apple TV is not picking up the network signal? Do I need to have a stronger WLAN access point because of potential interferences from the other networks? But why are the computers working fine, then?
Thanks a lot and cheers,
BastianI see this post has remained unanswered. But as I have a similar problem I am hoping someone will answer.
I recently bought an Apple TV and hooked it up to my Sony 46" HD LCD TV.
My desktop is an iMac
The internet connection is through the Airport express conected to an ADSL touter.
The wireless network is working and I have access to internet through my iMac or other laptops.
While installing AppleTV it detects my network but seems does not connect to internet.
As a result while it synchronises with iTunes it fails to download from the internet directly. I am unable to upgrade to the latest version or play youTube or images from my mobileMe account.
I have tried figuring out the problem but unable to do so. Thanks for your help. -
Operating System: os x 10.9.1
Airport Utility 6.3.2
Airport Express 802.11n (1st generation)
Linkus router: Model WRT310Nv2, Firmware Version 2.0.01
Motorola Cable Modem: Model 2210-02, Firmware 7.7.3r5
The Airport Express (AE) is setup to join my wireless network using Airport Utility. A printer is connected to the AE with a USB cable. After the setup the AE light is green and the printer can be accessed over the wireless network.
The problem starts if the router is cycled off/on. Now the AE will not rejoin the wireless network and there is a non-flashing amber light. If the power to the AE is cycled off/on the AE reconnects to the wireless network.
This is about as handy as a screen door on a submarine.
Is it possible to see the setting of the AE the same way the modem and router settings can be accessed? Can this issue be fixed?If they send you a replacement printer it will have ink tanks with it. You can store the ink tanks from your current printer and use them later on you "new" printer if you wish. Store them nozzle-up so they do not leak.

[SOLVED] NetworkManager does not connect to WiFi networks
I'm using `networkmanager` to connect WiFi.
I have selected WiFi Name through `networkmanager`.
Next, enter WiFi Password.
But the problem is, `networkmanager` asks me about password again and again and over again and does not connect to WiFi never !!!!
I'm sure WiFi password that I entered is correct.

Outlook 2007 does not connect to exchange at computer startup
Hi all :)
Here's the situation we're encountring: we are using exchange 2010 with outlook 2007 clients. The issue is that at the startup of the computer, outlook does not connect to exchange (it opens up but it marks that it's not connected to exchange). After trying
a few times it connects and stays stable (if I close outlook and I open it again, it connects normally).
This suggests that there's may be a DNS problem: The client is having an issue resolving the name, but once it does and the IP of exchange is available in the cache, outlook doesn't face any issues.
So I ran some nslookup commands and I noticed the following:
when I try to resolve the name of exchange, the request times out twice before providing the answer.
This issue occurs only for forward lookups (when I try to resolve the same IP for the hostname, there's no timeout)
I also noticed that this issue only occurs when I run nslookup from the client machines (no timeout when I run it from exchange for instance).
Any ideas about what the problem might be? Could it be something else other than DNS?
Thank you all for your help.Hi all,
The problem seems not to be related to DNS. Our exchange 2010 organization was actually migrated from a 2007 one. Since then we noticed this issue of outlook taking too much time to connect and sometimes disconnects. I was messing around into adsiedit and
I noticed that a decomissioned Mailbox Server from our old exchange 2007 organization still exists among the new exchange 2010 objects.
To further look into it, I ran best practise analyser, the result (to my surprise) was that exchange is still trying to contact the old exchange 2007 server.
I ran some network trafic captures with Network Monitor, but I was not very successful interpreting anything.
I uploaded the .cap files with the best practise analyser report and a print screen of the old server into adsiedit objects. I hope you'll be able to help with it.
I took the network captures on the two CAS Servers (configured in a CAS array) and on a client machine. The IP addresses are as follow:
client 192.168.0.47
Domain Controller1 192.168.1.205
Domain Controller2 192.168.1.213
CAS1 192.168.2.216
CAS2 192.168.2.217
CAS Array 192.168.2.218
