My laptop is connected to the network but it won’t go past limited connection.?

Ok so my laptop is connected to the network but it just continues to say limited connectivity.

I have tried resetting the router. Reconnecting.

Everything i can think of.

The Protocols are set to auto detect.

I can connect to any other network just fine. It worked fine before but then i reset the router a few times which i think might be the problem but am still not sure. I have the right security key and everything. I am utterly stumped at what it could possibly be.
Windows Help doesn’t even help.

I think i covered all the necessary things that could contribute to the problem or the solution. I will be glad to give any other info that you made need to help figure this one out.
I have already tried repairing the connection.

IP Protocol is set to obtain automatically. Other laptops don’t have a problem connecting to this connection just mine. But i never changed anything to cause it not to.

I have the correct WEP key.
I put in the IP into the browser and it just loads a blank page.
I use FF as a browser, but on IE it says link is broken yet it is the correct IP.

How do I create a Wireless File Sharing Network between a Laptop and a PC?

Excuse my naivety. I’ve been trying to source an answer for my dilemma on the www. but no proper clarity has been provided.

In all, I have one laptop which I use constantly use and one PC which I use only sporadically, both of which are wirelessly connected to a BT Broadband connection through the standard BT Home Hub.

Recently I have filled the space available on my laptop hard-drive and rather than looking for a new c-drive/external hard drive I am looking to create a wireless network whereby I can store all the data I don’t really use on my PC but still view, edit or manipulate it through my laptop when necessary.

As I mentioned, I have scoured the internet and found no clear answers or explanations, so a simple-all-area-covering solution would be fantastic.

Thanks. t.

Laptop Specs;
Toshiba Equium A100.
Windows XP MCE 2002 SP2.
Zone Alarm Security Suite.
Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection.

Network Access Problem:Not able to access shared files of remote system.?

Hi….

I am connected to a network of 6 laptops with same hw configuration.
One system is connected to sify wireless broadband connection, and rest of the systems are accessing internet using CCProxy through that system( wireless ). Its working fine.

All the systems are in same workgroup.
In “view workgroup compouters” windows I am able to see all the computers. But when trying to access any one of them an error message says I dont have permission to access network….network path not found.

The ping command is not getting any reply from any of the system….. even from the system through which I am using internet.

One of systems is able to access my shared files….but I am not.

I have checked our IP address configurations. Firewall is off…and I have installed Norton internet security in my system.

Please give me any solution…

Thanks.
Norton firewall is on….but problem remains the same… even after I uninstalling it.

File and printer sharing option is also enabled on each of the systems…

In all the systems we have given full control to “Network”…

Windows Vista Unidentified Network?

I have an intel pentium laptop that has windows vista. The security programme was norton 360 till the subscription ran out yesterday. The internet was working yesterday morning, and when I turned it on yesterday afternoon there is no connection to the internet. When I click the network icon in the toolbar it says unidentified network and underneath it says limited connectivity or local only. The internet is wireless and the make is netgear. It says the signal strength is excellent and 5/5. But there is still no connection to the internet. The wireless is shared by another computer which is windows xp and works fine. The internet has been fine for 11 months. We have tried unplugging everywire to the netgear wireless and it still doesnt work. As many solutions as possible needed. Also tried systems restore and cannot do factory restore as cannot back up files. Thanks.
