HP/Compaq :: Hp Dv 4 Network
Mar 1, 2009
i have a dv 4 still under warranty, and the wireless will periodically stop working.
i also have a dv2000 which was sent in for video problems (but also had wireless issues) and after replacing the motherboard for free, the wireless issues have been resolved.
so im wondering does the dv4 qualify for the free hp motherboard replacement? (there's a list somewhere of certain models suffering from certain things for which a free repair is granted).
if not, since im still under warranty, will they change the hardware? i would hate to send it in and have them not do anything.

Whenever I'm copying files over the network to/from my M6400 Covet, I lose network connection.
I get the 'Limited Connectivity' message in Vista 64. It seems to happen for larger files transfers only.
I have the latest software from Dell already. My solution is to restart the laptop.

I upgraded an old Compaq (1200Xl500) from WIN ME to XP not realizing this was a bad choice. Everything went okay except I lost my network adapter and PCMCIA which worked fine before the upgrade. No help from HP support and no drivers to download there either. I need a Texas Instruments PCI 1410 card bus controller. When I do a search I find links but nothing that works. Some links just refer me to Windows update? and there is nothing there either.

I have an HDX 16-1140us laptop. with the intel WIFI 5100AGN card. I could get speeds to the max in my house which is about 260 KB/s. Now my sister got a DV6-1334ca this christmas, and ever since then my speeds have gone down to 20KB/s while she gets the rest of the given bandwidth. Any ideas why or how to adjust it so i can get half the speed? we both have the same wireless card, and the router is a Linksys WRT54GC. any type of tweak i can do on this router or a program? i have a WIFI 5100AGN card and she has a 1000AGN card

I can not get my PC to "see" other computers on my home network. I have a Dell laptop also and it sees the DV3510NR. The 3510 only see itself. I have checked and rechecked my setting but no joy.

my notebook has been shutting off my network connection whenever I close my lid. This didn't start happening until maybe a few weeks ago, maybe even less. I couldn't say if there was anything I did to accidentally cause this, but I certainly didn't do anything intentionally. I've looked through all the network connections properties and whatnot and I can't seem to find a fix.
I'm using an HP DV6500t that I purchased almost a year and a half ago. I have the Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN.

My dv2000t came with Vista installed but Vista is now broken and gone and I want to install WinXP instead. I installed XP but XP cant find any network adapter on the laptop. I have an ethernet cable plugged in to the laptop. Prior to this there was no problem connecting to the internet with this machine. Win XP can't find the network adapter therefore I can't use the internet at all. Since this dv2000t came with Vista installed maybe the network adapter requires something not available in XP therefore you can only use it with Vista loaded.
why XP can't find any network adapter on this dv2000t?

Bought this new laptop yesterday HP Pavilion dv5-1235dx from Bestbuy, we purchased a recovery disc and in order to make this disc the bextbuy personnel had to configure the network, when we brought it home and tried it on our network we can see all pc's on the network but we cannot access any pc's file on the C drive and we cannot access this laptop's C drive from any of the other pc's on the network and the error message does not give a reason why, I called up HP and they are telling me I have to pay for support for this issue which I will not so anyone here have any ideas please?
I disabled the Vista firewalls on all pc's and uninstalled all anti-virus systems on the laptop.

I have a DV6-2170us. I would like to know the easiest/cheapest way to maximize my file transfers over my home network. The house is wired with a gigabit ethernet infrastructure, but the HP only has 100Mbs controller. I would like to get best speed possible for large media file transfers/backups.
My questions are:Can I add gigabit ethernet to the laptop somehow?Would it be easier to just add an eSATA card to my media server desktop PC?Should I just replace my 802.11g with a 802.11n router?

this is a popup i'm getting everytime i boot up now. it started happening after i went through msconfig to disable some things at startup. it doesn't seem to be comromising anything in use but i am curious what it is and how to make it stop.
and on an unrelated note, i'm wondering if i can't get more room out of my HD. my model is advertised at 320, but only shows 286 available. i know it's always less than whats advertised but that seems like more than usual. i also have used up about 250 in files and programes yet only have 13.6gb left. i've turned off restore point, could there be anything else bogging down my HD that i can't see? also is there a way to clear out the recovery drive and add on the free space to my c drive?

I have the DV9000 series Laptop. It is the DV9235NR model (but not the DV9200 series...shows DV9000 on the bottom).
Anyways...I decided to try to upgrade the interal wireless G with a wireless N card that is from HP. It has the HP part number and everything. When I put the card in, this error comes up. I read that the bios doesn't recongnize the card. I took the card out, booted up to Windows with my old wireless card, put the computer in sleep mode, took out the old card and put the new card in. Works perfect. I know the card it good.
How can I make the new card work without having to do this? I heard about a bios hack. How is this done? Could I modify the Wifi card also? I did update to the newest bios on my laptop (dated 2008) and that didn't work. How about a bios from another series laptop?

I purchased my studio XPS 16 in the beginning of July and am loving it. Having a few minor issues though, one of which is network related. More specifically the WiFi.
I have the upgraded Intel WiFi/WiMax 5150 Network card and my issue is with the WiFi. Well, honestly I couldn't tell you if the WiMax works as I have never actually been able to find any networks with it. IDK if it helps, but I'm running Vista Ultimate 64-bit with SP1.
Anyway, I can connect to networks just fine. It just is very intermittent. Occationally it does have an issue connecting, but by simply resetting the adapter it works like normal again.
Usually what it likes to do is connect to the network, and get stuck identifying itself (again, I can reset the adapter and it works again), or it connects just fine, identifies with the network, and i can even check email, sign on skype but NOT be able to browse the internet. Sometimes it says its connected, but wont pull up email, skype or the internet.
Now normally I wouldn't mind it so much, but the fact that it does this on a regular basis and I find myself resetting the adapter four or five times a day in hopes that it works again is getting old, and fast considering I spend over $2k on this machine .....

Suddenly the Wirless LAN, 3G LAN, and the Plug in LAN have all stopped working. The hardware is reporting as working, when you Scan for wireless LAN, it finds them, but cant connect. When I plug direct in to the router it says no connection. 3G will nto connect either.
Done a Full Sony Restore of C drive. Still the same.

Well, as many of you may have seen on the news (in the US anyway), Louisville, Kentucky was hit by some massive storms on August 4th.
I was unlucky enough to be on the campus at the University of Louisville, where I live in a dorm. During the rain and thunder, I was surfing the web and watching a little TV to pass the time due to canceled classes.
All of a sudden there was a bright flash, and a loud crack and boom. I had later been informed that the building was hit by that particular bolt of lightning.
At the same time as the flash, my laptop completely froze, forcing me to hard reboot. Nothing else in the room was affected. Lights didn't flicker once, TV never skipped a beat. My electronics are all plugged into a quality surge protector; this and the fact that we still had power and cable, I knew there wasn't a power surge.
However, the internet was knocked out for the whole building. Come to find out today, my laptop no longer recognizes when an ethernet cable is plugged into the port, thus preventing me from connecting to any LAN; home, on campus or otherwise.
QUESTION
This leads me to the question: Is it possible for there to be an electrical surge carried over an ethernet cable that is strong enough to fry/disable an internal network card?
In case you're wondering, I'm currently connected via wireless. Specs are in my sig (Dell E4300).

I have an E6400 running Vista Business. Whenever I let the computer idle and the screen turns off, my wired network connection disconnects. I want to prevent this from happening. I made sure it's not going to sleep.
I've checked every option I can think of including the power options in the control panel and the device properties. I even went into BIOS to see if there anything thing that was doing this.

When i open the lid, i see black screen with some white lines showing up, then i need to press power button to shut down the laptop.
I have debugged these crashes and I saw that the problem is with network drivers. So i tried updating them and uninstalling them, but it doesn't solve anything.
These crashes happens randomly and from what i have heard utorrent might cause them. Has anyone else had these crashes and how to fix them ?

I bought a new Dell D830 about three days ago for school. I connected to my schools wireless network just fine, and I did this for about two days until I headed back home.
Here we have a wired network and it even worked fine here for about a day. Now I cannot seem to connect to anything here.
I checked the modem, different cables, and I tried to run through the repair option but I still got the same message, 'There might be a problem with one or more network adapters on this computer'. I do have Vista on the computer but besides that the only things Ive loaded are Trend Micro and Mozilla.
Will it effect both wired and wireless networks on this computer?

I have recently bought the Acer Aspire 7720g laptop and kinda like the spec. Though I have had 2 major annoying issues with it. The first is that it would never boot at first attempt after an overnight shutdown. This was resolved by installing BIOS version 1.43 after finding a solution on this forum.
The second is one that I can not for the life of me find the reason. The network connections of the laptop will stop working after a few minutes and requires several restarts to make stable. This only seems to happen to the wireless connection. It does not drop signal it just seems to disable.
Yet I have unticked the 'allow Windows to turn of the wireless device to save power' thing. Updated all drivers and BIOS to the most current found version. Also when the wireless network 'turns off' I can not get into network and sharing centre or use the 'Connect To' option, they just both hang.
Even turning the wireless off and back on with the laptop switch makes no difference.

OK, yesterday we bought a new Belkin router and were connected to a laptop, the home PC and Xbox Live. Today, I turned on our other laptop,
that had never been connected to the new router, and when I searched for networks, a screen cam up and asked me if I wanted to change the name.
So I did, and entered a key number and now, I cannot connect with anything, or to LIVE.

I have a strange problem on my Acer 7720G notebook (PM965 chipset).
The internal Broadcom 5787 is not detected. When I put a cable in the LAN port, no Leds are lit.
Strange enough, the UUID in the Bios has a value, which means that the Bios recognizes a LAN device.
Is there a keyboard combination that shuts down the internal LAN controller?

I have a Sony Vaio Z which I use it in my home(DHCP) and office(STATIC) wherein both sites are using Wifi.
The problem is Vaio Smart Network is not smart enough to automatically switch in different wifi access. It always says the I need to create a profile wherein there is already profiles created for both my home and office wifi access. I always need to open the vaio smart network utility and select the profile and switch to it and sometimes it doesn't work at all!

I have an Acer Aspire 4720z that keeps dropping the internet signal. I know it's not my router, because my wife's HP keeps on plugging.
While the connection is working, I show two wireless cards in my device manager:
1. Atheros AR5007EG
2. Broadcom NetLink Gigabit adapter
About once every 30 minutes to one hour, my connection will just die cold turkey, and checking the device manager shows that the Atheros card has just "disappeared".
I tried installing drivers for it again, but it just tells me that no such device exists.
The only thing that works is to reboot completely. Then it works for about another 10-30 minutes and the process starts again.

My MBP keeps "forgetting" my wireless network at home. It will work fine for a while and then it will stop connecting and give me a connection timeout error. If I change the password on the network (WPA2) it will work fine for a while. iPhone works fine on the same network and MBP works fine at school on unsecured network. it's the last generation, right before unibody

Right now I have a 1st generation Time Capsule that is set to work with b/g wireless adaptors because the iPod Touches in the house need to be able to connect to the 'net.
I'll be picking up an Airport Express in the near future. Will I be able to switch the Time Capsule to the 5Ghz N setting, and be able to extend the network using the Airport Express while configuring the Airport Express to broadcast to b/g adaptors?

I have a USB dongle connected to the USB port on the left side of my MBP. I'm not sure which side the wireless adapter is located in the MBP, but there seems to be interference between the two as I just been having alot of problems connecting to my wireless network. Because of the lack of space on my desk, the left side of the MBP is facing toward a wall (parallel to it), so therefore the Magsafe, USB, and audio ports are facing toward the wall. I have not been able to even detect my wireless network until I decided to remove the USB dongle temporarily and rescan for wireless networks. It finally worked then! So, do you guys think there is a possibility the USB dongle is interfering with the wireless adapter built in MBP? If so, what can I do about it (the right USB port is powering a WD Passport because the left USB does not provide enough power)?

I have an Airport Extreme linked to an external hard disk. The HD is formatted in GUID partition scheme and it's split into 3 partitions.
One of the partitions is a Macintosh HD partition with Snow Leopard on it. I can boot into Snow Leopard when the external HD is plugged via USB to my MBP.
But when I plug it into the Airport Extreme, I couldn't find a way to boot from it. Do you know a way?

I've got my Vista computer and OS X computer on the same network. I set up Mac's file sharing via SMB. So I can see my entire Mac HD from my Vista computer now. I tried transferring some files to it, and it was incredible slow, around 170kbps. I know there's ways to transfer much faster than this, so maybe I'm doing something wrong.
The MacBook is wired to the router, while the Vista is wireless. At the moment I don't have an extra ethernet cable.
