There was a box, perhaps rack, patch panel and they are all gone. Plus the RJ45 cables have been cut. Luckily we have a data network engineer fitting the data network back, but what do I need to tell them so that we have have broadband on our network?

I am not much of a network bod, but in the rooms it shows there are points in the room showing two rj45 sockects per point. We would hope that if a computer was connected to one of these points, then they can pick up the internet.

The problem is that after I get it set up and working great it enters power saver mode and for some reason can't communicate with my laptop even after manually waking it back up. I have to reset the wireless settings every time it goes into the power saver mode. What's worse you can't disable it. The longest you can offset it is 6 hours. Is there some kind of firmware hack for completely disabling the power saver mode or is there some kind of setting I'm not aware of that could fix this problem? The wireless setup is as follows. there are actually two networks one is secure requiring you to enter your network username and password to get onto the other one is not. This is the one that I have my printer on. However, what's strange is that to get the internet you have to set up a vpn connection where you still end up entering your username and password, but my printer still works fine on this network until it enters that dang blasted power saver mode. Again it's a regular wifi network unsecured with a vpn running in it to grant internet access so I don't understand why it would work this way either. My printer only works with a passphrase/key and there isn't a field to enter a username into. It's so frustrating because the thing works great when I first set it up each time, but as soon as it goes into power saver mode my computer can't communicate with it anymore. It's supposed to auto wake when you send a print job to it. There's also a green light that says it's connected on the front of the printer. It just can't communicate with my laptop after it goes into power saver mode and like I said before it doesn't matter if I manually wake it up or not. Now that I've supplied the wireless setup are there any ideas how to fix this problem? ]]> Networking chuckles777 http://www.cybertechhelp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=211448 <![CDATA[Vista limited to 'Local Access' only]]> http://www.cybertechhelp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=211412&goto=newpost Sun, 05 Sep 2010 03:12:38 GMT Hi there,

I'm running Vista Home Premium, along with a Belkin F5D7000 Wireless G network card connected to a D-Link DIR615 router.

Recently I am unable to connect for long periods to the net- the network connection cycles from Internet connection to local access only. For no reason, the signal will drop or come back on randomly.

This is a desktop, situated about 6 feet away from the router with no physical barrier. Another desktop 2 rooms away maintains the signal at all times.

We have tried manually inputting the router address, changing the router settings, reinstalling the Belkin, and configuring the network adapter settings.

Right now the PC is connected but I have no doubt it will drop again. Any ideas? ]]> Networking krcvrly http://www.cybertechhelp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=211412 Need Serious Help On Dial Up http://www.cybertechhelp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=211404&goto=newpost Sat, 04 Sep 2010 18:27:01 GMT I have been on dial up for 20 years.

So what can I do?

I used the internet on my phone line (stone age I know) to do e-mail, belong to a couple e-mail groups, and read news, surf the WWW and have quit selling on e-bay as my connection is so slow it takes SO LONG I just gave up. I can't open a store as the connection is just too slow.

I'm a female 65 years old, not stupid, but I don't know anyone to bounce things off of and just want to know if anyone has any suggestions.

Don't say it: Move! We retired and the thought never entered my mind that I would not be able to get a higher speed connection than dial up here.

I learned all my computer skills back in the stone age and everything is so much more advanced now, and I am lost as to who to contact.

Thanks for any suggestion, or point me in the right direction.

I get occasional warnings of viruses, and AVG is rarely able to perform my "heal" or "remove" commands, however the viruses never did anything (that i noticed), so I let it be...

Anyway, Windows security alerts was bugging me for updates, so on July 30, against my better judgement, I ran the update and some service pack gets installed. Next thing, AVG is constantly alerting me of dozens of trojans (without being able to do anything about it, as usual), and immediately my wireless internet connection fails (it is constantly "acquiring network address"). Same problem even if I plug directly to modem.

I've ran into minor virus trouble before (sometimes they just die away on their own after a week) so I do the simplest thing I know that works - system restore. The process goes all the way through to reboot, but after logging in, it tells me "restoration not complete, cannot be restored to such and such date". Tried several times, and also in safe mode, to no avail.

On Aug 3, I was told to turn off the antivirus before trying again (never had to do that before), but this time, the restore points are unavailable altogether... I now have a restore point for Aug 2, but nothing before that... which is kind of useless since the problems began July 30...

Now I'm really screwed!!

Btw, the warnings have subsided since day 1, but I still have no Internet... what am I going to do with all this spare time!?!? Edit: Might as well add that before July 30, I'd been dealing with the annoying google redirect virus for about 3 weeks...

I've posted this in the malware sub section already, and have run a number of malware scans as per the advice given, but have not resolved the internet issue yet. Currently, when I enable the wireless receiver, it is constantly in "acquiring network connection" mode.

I'm having problems. I have a Vista Home Premium machine (my old desktop). I just bought a laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium. I have the two talking to each other through my 2Wire DSL router/switch. The laptop is connected via WiFi and the desktop via Ethernet.

While I can access files and folders on the laptop by entering the user name and password for my account on the laptop, I cannot access ANY folders or printers attached to the desktop when password protection is on. I can access the desktop from the laptop by disabling password protection on the desktop (Vista), but when the password protection is turned on, the laptop (W7) informs me that the computer I'm trying to access (desktop) is not available.

The account names (and passwords) on both machines are the same. Is that causing the problem? Or is it just Vista being flaky?

I want the access so I can sync my college and work folders on both machines so that whenever I come home and connect my laptop, both machines update all of the files that I have been working on. Is this even possible with a Vista and Windows 7 combo? The help file on the Vista and W7 machines read identically, but the functions on Vista don't seem to be working as advertised. By my understanding, when I try to get on the desktop from the laptop, I should be prompted for a user name and password, but all I get is the big red ex of doom saying "the machine ###### is not availble" and some other gobbledegook.

I'd like to keep password protection on, simply out of general paranoia, but is it safe to keep the password protection off? Vista tells me that only computers connected to the network will be able to access the designated devices, and that only the Public folder and printers will be accessible. I do have the firewall in the 2Wire turned on, and Windows Firewall and Norton running on both machines.

Help please?

Thanks in advance.

After installing GNS3 and configuring a Microsoft Loopback Adapter, I rebooted my PC to make the Loopback Adapter appear in the program. However, after this reboot, none of my network adapters were working anymore!

Outside of the GNS3 context, I am not able to connect to my router, be it wireless or LAN. With wireless, the best I can get is a "limited connection", while in the adapter configuration screen, I see it as "enabled".

Even stranger, when I try ipconfig/all, the lan and wlan interfaces don't even show up. In netsh, I can see them though (but I have no idea what netsh can do, so I'm not touching that for now).

I tried uninstalling the devices, rebooting and reinstalling them, no luck. I deleted the loopback adapter and rebooted, didn't help (it is not in the registry anymore, either).

Maybe dynamips-wxp (comes with GNS3) changed some registry values or something, I don't know. I am clueless as to what I should do now.

If anyone has an idea to help, please share it.

Additional info: this is a laptop with two separate hard drives, and I have another W7 installation on the other hard drive which I am using right now so this isn't a hardware problem.

Also here is the output from ipconfig/all. I don't remember seeing Node Type: Hybrid there before but I'm not sure:

My operations software for the dongle is on Ver 3.0, as I was suggested by SFR, but now I get an error everytime I try to connect to the 3G F SFR connection. It appears on the list no problem, but when I try to activate it, I get the following error:

Erreur 711 - A configeration error on this computer is preventing this connection. For further assistance, click More Info or search Help and Support Center for this error number.

I also get a strange message at the launch of the program:
