Recognizing My Home Network
Hi,
I just upgraded to Windows Vista from Windows XP. I have a Dell E1505. I have a small home network. The 1505 and a Dell Deminsion 8300 and a HP Officejet 7200 printer. When I turn on my equipment first thing in the morning, My 1505 can't find the network. The problem works itself out after retrying several times.
Any ideas? Help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Jim
- Connecting automatically doesn't apply if you are connecting via Ethernet. A wired connection will find the network without any intervention on your part.You mention "turning on all your equipment in the morning". If you are using a router and modem, it may take considerable time while the other computer, the modem and the router all fire up and the network is available. If this is the case, try leaving the modem and router on all the time. I never turn mine off.If this isn't the problem, then try the "diagnose and repair" option in Control Panel's Network & Sharing Centre.
- Hi Rebel9,Thanks again for your comments. I do as you suggest turn off my computer by shutting down from Windows. My router and modem reemain on. I will try the second part of your suggestion. That is, try the "diagnose and repair" option.Jim
