I have an HP1320 connected to a printer hub and plugged into the wall. I added the printer to a couple of new PC's and it was working fine. Went I went to add it to another PC I got the message "the print driver on the server is the incorrect one" so I used a driver I found online. Since about then, I have not been able to locate the printer on the network (Previously it would show up when accessing the network folder under the "Printers and Faxes" folder, now that folder doesn't show up under the network folder on any PC) The printer can no longer print from any of the new PC's it was installed on. It only prints from the PC belonging to the administrator, who is also the owner of the printer on the network. Even on that PC, it still doesn't show up on the network folder, but it still prints. It cannot print from any of the PC's it was newly installed on. Any help?
Help with an advanced Network printer issue?
It is set to share with the whole workgroup, yes?
Does it show up in network neighborhood?

Network browser history traceable?
Is it possible to trace the browser history of other computers on a computer network? I get the feeling my brother has been snooping in on me... *grrr*
Network browser history traceable?
No. Unless:
a) You're using hubs on your network, and the computers share a hub
OR
b) Your brother has admin access to the router/switch
OR
c) You're using unsecured wifi
OR
d) You have a VNC server installed and running on your PC

My Wireless Network Doesn't show up!?
Hi guys, basically my wireless network will not show up on my either of my laptops or desktop computer. I have been using this linksys router for over a year with no problems but 2day I went to connect as I do everyday, only to find my wireless network is not in the list. So the first thing I do is restart it, unfortunately that doesn't work so I am stuck with things on what to do. I know that the router is working because I can play xbox live through it on my xbox. The lights on the front indicate that its receiving the ethanet and internet but it still doesn't seem to omit my wireless network!! My wireless adapters in both my laptops are 100% fine as I can pick up other people's networks in my street.
You may want to take into consideration that last night I had a power cut which happened whilst the router was on, could this make a difference?
Thanks in advance.

Instead of just re-starting the router, try re-booting it (there should usually be a small hole on the back to access a micro, and I mean micro, switch), that will return it to its factory settings.
An easier option, if the router lets you - sometimes when they're being awkward they don't, connect to the router via the ethernet from one of your laptops, and go into the router set-up page, (usually http://192.168.2.1/ ) through your browser, check whether all the settings are as they should be, if not, change them, or opt for restore to factory default setting, and start again.
Hope I've been of some help
Reply:Get on your routers setup page, type in, 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 into your brower and there should be a place that says "hide SSID" and make sure it is unchecked. Its happened to me before and that was the problem.
Reply:well this happens to me quite a bit with all the laptops in the household but it just happens to just blow over for me... but all i do is unplug the router then plug it back in, wait a few minutes then im surfin
Reply:Try to restart the router as well... if not works, try to re install it in ur laptop, meaning u have to delete all the network connection and re-find it.... else u have to contact the service center
Reply:Hiya,
Right mate restart your router if that doesn't make things better then call the router company if its under warranty then theyll replace it then things should be fine
OR
If not under warranty then you will have to buy a new one
Good Luck

Home Wireless Network help please!!!!?
Hi guys, i have a home wireless network. My ISP is orange broadband. I have 2 computers, one laptop and also my printer connected to the network. I should be gettin 8MB speed but on my computers, i only get 2MB each. However orange say that i should get 8MB speed. Is this becasue i have 2 computers and a laptop connected to the network? Does a network share out the speed with everything connected to it? If yes, how do i stop this from happening, as i don't need a speed of 2MB on my laptop and i hardly use it. Also does the printer take a speed of 2MB aswell?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Home Wireless Network help please!!!!?
If more than 1 computer is active on the router it should share out the connection evenly, this is ONLY applicable when the computers are activly connected to the internet. If you only have 1 computer actively connected to the router you should be getting 8MB speed average, this also depends on your transmit power of your router and the speed of your line.
The printer should not be taking up any MB at all, UNLESS if its a totally wireless printer.
Reply:I'll take it that you are referring to 8MB/s and 2MB/s? This would be 64Mb/s and 16Mb/s respectively.
More info is needed.
What are you trying to do and how are you getting your speed measurements?
What is your advertised speed of your "orange broadband"?
What wireless network do you have setup? Router capabilites (b? g? n?)? Wireless adaptors capabilities? (b? g? n?)
Wireless 802.11b is only 11Mb/s.
Wireless 802.11g is only 54Mb/s.
Wireless 802.11n is supposed to be 111Mb/s.
Wired networks are 10Mb, 100Mb, and 1Gb (1000Mb).
So you understand the difference:
MB = MegaByte
Mb = Megabit
8 bits = 1 Byte
I don't know what you know or how much you know, I'm just trying to clearify things first.
Reply:No, the network only shares the speed dinamically, as it is required.
Probably the data from Windows refers to the LAN (local area network == home). The 8MB advertised by your ISP applies to WAN (wide area network == internet).
Check your actual speed with some internet benchmark.
I have used this several times. I found it very accurate.
http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest?flas...
Reply:theoretically the max ISP connection is 8MB.
you have a LAN which is a shared medium (if one computer transmits at the same time as another computer, these two signals run into each other causing a collision on the network)
to stop this a protocol is implemented for ethernet - CSMA/CD collision detection and due to this only one computer is able to transmit at any one time.
if 2 computers wish to access the internet PC1 will recieve data via the internet connection as will PC2 - however because of CSMA/CD only 1 computer is able to recieve data at any time, So PC1 will recieve some packets at a given time and PC2 will do the same.
In reality this is not simultaneous sharing of bandwidth, it just seems like it because it happens soo quickly.
so your laptop doesnt use any 2MB bandwidth over the internet unless you are accessing web pages etc.
in summary, your net connection is only used by computers accessing internet content such as web pages, chat programs, file sharing programs etc.
if the computers are not being used, the internet connection speed is not compromised in any way (not noticably anyway).
Reply:You have to improve your network range, speed and stability.

Wireless icon disappeared on my (Network Connections)!!!?
im using PC not laptop
after I formatted my PC I connected USB of wireless then windows asked me for CD I put the the CD of Linksys Wireless-G USB Network Adapter and eveything goes well
I can view the networks and choose which I want to connect but after 2 days I decided to change network then I was shocked !! that the icon of wireless wasn't on the bottom right near the clock and also wasn't on the Folder of (Network Connections) there was only Local Area Connection and im not using cable and i don't have cable for my PC
I clicked on the Local Area Connection and i choose the option (Show icon notification area when connected) and still not working with wireless
I also tried to System Restore not work
also I tried to enable and disband in Device Manager that's only helped to disconnect my connection
I only need to change networks i want to veiw networks name
why it disappeared :( ??
Wireless icon disappeared on my (Network Connections)!!!?
In the device manager, does anything show up as a yellow question mark or something that would indicate that the computer can see a wireless adapter?
The Local Area Connection is always going to be there as long as the computer knows you have a driver for the LAN adapter. So don't worry about that.
Find out who makes your laptop, go to their website and download the driver for the wireless card and install it. Don't download the extra software, just download the driver. Windows can manage the wireless connection.

Setting up a home network?
I want to set up a home network. Networking 4 P.C`s together.Sharing the net. I am looking to set up a wired not wireless network.I have had different answers to the problem but the ones I have tried dont work. All pc`s using xp professional.I have a hub.. a switcher and cable modem.Windows shows me a plan that I must use but it will only let the first pc connect to the internet.Despite altering settings on the network wizzard. I`ve been told I need a router. I keep buying stuff but it seems to me too many solutions that dont work. I have a network now that uses the USB port on the first pc. No problems but it does not spread bandwith properly. One pc hogs all the bandwith. Any help would be great. All pc`s are on the same group.
Setting up a home network?
All home networks don't spread bandwith properly.
Plug the modem into the network hub and run the network wizard again. Make sure all computers are in the same workgroup. That should then work. If not, contact me.
Reply:Yes, your best solution would be to buy a router. Use the router to connect to your internet, and then run a network cable from the router into your hub shared by all the PCs. Remember to run the networking wizard on all the pcs.
But if you can't buy the router and are stuck with the cable modem, then feed that into the first PC and set up Internet Connection Sharing on that PC... allow all the other PCs to access the internet through that one.
If you have problems with bandwidth sharing, you can limit your first PCs bandwidth access using these tools...

But I really believe the first option is better in the long run... it is how must everyone does it.

Reply:You need a router. Plain and simple.
From your cable modem you then plug your wire into your router and then plug your PC into the router.
Most likely your router will support up to 4 different PCs.
You can also use your Ethernet Switch and plug a network wire from your router right into your switch and then plug other PCs right into the switch to expand your network. For example, if friends came over with their notebooks to play a game or something.
I recommend you also buy a good software firewall program and don't use the firewall option that comes built-in to Windows.
I love Zone Alarm's Internet Security Suite as for one low price, you can install the program onto 3 separate computers and not only is this an excellent firewall program, but it includes virus and spyware and IM protection.
Good Luck!

Windows Vista Network Adapter Problem?
My family bought a laptop last July. It worked, except when it went on screensaver or we closed the laptop it would make the adapter switch go on 'off' and disconnect from the internet, which was really annoying. Now even when we move the switch to "On," the light stays red (It's usually green when the switch is on and red when it's off) and refuses to connect to the internet. Now, I'm not exactly sure if it's a driver problem or if the actual network adapter switch is messed up, so I was wondering if someone could tell me which Network adapter driver I should switch to or what I should do. It can't be a modem problem since my other 2 laptops can connect. My parents lost the installation cds by the way.
Network Adapter Driver:
NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller
Provider: NVIDIA corporation
File Version: 6.02.00.126
Windows Vista Home Premium
Model: HP Pavilion dv9000
Processor: AMD Turion(tm) 64X2 Mobile Technology TL-64 2.20 GHz
Memory (RAM): 1982MB
System type: 32-bit Operating Sys
Windows Vista Network Adapter Problem?
I experience the same thing, so normally what I do:
1. Unplug %26amp; plug in the wireless router power adapter (may work and may not work)
2. Restart the laptop (always work, wireless connection will appear and auto connect)
3. Open my virtual PC (wireless connection will not switch off)
I don't know how to fix this thing automatically
Reply:idk maybe u should change the power plan setting to maximum performance if this worked i'll tell you the way to enable this in the powerplan u want
because the laptop can turn off the wireless network to "conserve" energy
