Wireless Printer won't print

bkf — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 16:37:47 GMT

Can anyone help me get my V505 going? It is wireless and has worked off and on since I bought it about 6 weeks ago. The blue light is on and I can't get it working even if I connect the cord. The manual which came with the printer contains no troubleshooting pages and while they are supposed to be on the drivers and downloading disc, I can't find nothing. I am tired of calling the support team. Over the last two months, I have spoken with them over 30 times! My first call was regarding my two year old printer which had stopped working. They reloaded drivers and pronounced the printer dead, saying I would have to buy a new one. Since that day, I have had nothing but trouble with my 2 year old inspiron 1525. I believe they ruined both machines. There are too many coincidences. All they want to do is sell me something, a hardware warranty (I have the software warranty), extend my software warranty, Christmas gifts for family and friends. One call lasted 7 hours, another 4 hours, another 3. What recourse do I have. I need these things for work. Does anyone out there know what I can do? How can I geet the printer to work? The print jobs just spool up and never move to the printer.

Windows 7 not compatible with cable modem = no internet

katemeri — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 17:49:33 GMT

We just purchased a Dell Inspiron 537 desktop with Windows 7. We cannot connect to the internet with the Motorola cable modem. We have contacted our internet company but they were not able to help us. Motorola does not help individuals. Dell technical support was good but told me that I have to go to the pay for technical support for software. I was in queue yesterday, next in line, for 3 hours yesterday before I finally had to disconnect. I am not able to connect by ethernet - was using the USB port to connect to XP before this.

Should I be able to connect to the wifi router directly with an ethernet cable? I can't figure out if the new computer is setup to receive a wifi signal. How do I determine that? If not, is there some time of an adapter or does anyone have any suggestions?

Connects only when security is disabled

BobK213 — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 18:52:12 GMT

I just got my brand new Inspiron 1750 with the Dell 1515 mini card Friday. I am trying to use it at home with my Belkin F5D8233 router using WPA. This worked before on my last Inspiron (which was stolen this past summer). Now I am only able to connect when I disable security on the router. With WPA enabled, I'm asked for the security key, then after a short time, it comes back with "unable to connect". I have been troubleshooting all weekend, and searched this forum, but didn't find anyone with the same problem. Anybody have an idea? Thanks ahead of time Bob

Dell wireless makes a mess of my day !! Please help me save my another one

m4a127 — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 18:07:23 GMT

I appreciate the Dell Administration services for generating a prompt reply and removing my post for containing obnoxious content. I hope to receive such a quick reply from them but this time with an appropriate solution to my problem. I rephrase my language and try to express what I am going through (life is not easy i have learnt several times, now i learn it once again) Please read through my problem and suggest a convenient solution

I got rid of VISTA, installed my old copy of WIN XP(SP3) as i needed to perform certain development and the requirements demanded XP. I am not able to run the wireless device where as all other drivers appear to be working fine.... I wish to ask...

1. Why have I been given a DELL 1515 WLAN Driver when I possess DELL 1545 Inspiron. The useless Resource disc works on VISTA but it fails on XP 32 bit. Device manager shows network controller (with a ? mark). No WLAN n/w connection seen in "My Network Places->View network connections" I have looked everywhere but failed to find a proper driver.While trying to install, the installer says "Could not detect WLan n/w card." and crashes. It works fine on VISTA. I downloaded the recommended driver software from dell support only to find the same error bouncing back at me.

2. How can I now get it running? Is there a special upgrade i need to do to my windows xp ?

Please help me asap

Regards

1. Base System Device

5. PCI Device

Under netwrok adapters, I only see 1394 net adapter. I dont see a wireless card or a broadcomm card. After installing proset wireless. I am getting an error "Driver is installed'. If I run the diagnostic tests it gives me "Wireless hardware is not bound to transport driver" error.

I am unable to resolve this issue. It'll be great if someone can help.

Dimension 3000 - Is Wireless Card Required

7mules — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:46:41 GMT

I recently acquired a Dell Dimension 3000 with on board Intel Pro 100M Integrated PCI NIC. I'm running a network via Linksys Wireless 2.4 GHz router through another desktop which the new Dell doesn't recognize. Do I need a wireless network card for the acquired Dell to recognize the existing network?

The acquired Dimension 3000 is running XP Home.

Thanks for any help.

Adding routes to a firewall with no default gateway

stemoney — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 13:26:10 GMT

I have a powerconnect 6224 router configured with 3 subnets.

10.10.10.0

10.10.11.0

10.10.12.0

Our firewall has an internal ip address of 10.10.10.254

Its an ISA firewall on a windows 2004 server. Since we can only assign one default gateway to our server it has been assigned a default gateway on the external Interface. So the internal interface has no default gateway!

As a result the only clients than can route to the internet are those on the 10.10.10.0

How can I route the other subnets to the firewall (10.10.10.254) ?

Can I add static routes to do this? If so how?

Regards,

Stephen

Wireless signal is very weak

sfhsbw — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 00:35:17 GMT

About 3 weeks ago my wireless signal began to act up even when i was trying to connect to a trusted and working router. My signal will be about 1 or 2 bars when i used to get full strength. I run diagnostics and get no error messages and my computer is still able to connect to networks, so it is not my LAN card. I am wondering if it could be my antenna or a bad connection between my antenna and my LAN card...

Windows 7 64 bit LAN jitters with Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit Controller

Avib2 — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 10:52:35 GMT

Few days ago I've installed Windows 7 (64 bit) on my laptop Dell D630. This laptop has a "Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit Controller" as a LAN interface. The OS installation (an upgrade to Home Premium from XP) went smooth. I had a strange feeling that the Internet is crawling so I made few tests comparing the throughput with other computers that I have on my home network. A simple download tests approve that the network throughput from the LAN interface is much slower (I'm talking about factor of 2 to 4, the throughput jitters between 50 to 80 percent) then what I'm used to and comparing to other computers on my network that have a stable max performance.
I also tried the same tests, but this time I was connected through the Wireless interface on my laptop and surprisingly the bandwidth went back to the levels I'm used to, and was stable on the maximum. I think this is focusing the problem to the compatibility of the "Broadcom NetExtreme 57xx Gigabit Controller" with Widows 7.
I tried to update/reinstall the LAN device driver - Didn't help.

It will be great if Microsoft or Dell or Broadcom attend this issue, till then I would be glad to be assisted.

Thanks, Avi

Dell Inspiron Mini 10V Wireless N Network Problem

confuseddotcom — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 21:01:20 GMT

Hi,

First of all please excuse the rather blunt tone in this thread. This issue is becoming a chore and I am starting to wish I bought from a different manufacturer.

As the title suggests, I am having problems connecting to the internet. I've tried changing my security from WPA to WEP and back again. I've searched these forums for a solution and nothing has worked. I've changed my antenna output to Aux from Auto as one thread suggested, but no luck.

For a time, I could connect to my wireless BT Home Hub 2, but the range was pathetic (about 4 metres). I've tried connecting to my partners home wireless connection, and again, same problem. Now the connection is virtually nothing. If I am lucky enough to get a connection then it will be poor and usually fail within 2 minutes.

I've had my Dell Inspiron Mini 10v for nearly 3 months now. I wish I was brave enough to return it when I had the chance.

People have commented that this could be a known issue. I don't know what the problem is. I've spoken to IT bods my office and nobody seems to know.

Please help either by fixing my netbook or letting me return it!

Windows 7 Dell Inspiron 1545 Wireless 365 Bluetooth problem

bobi1024 — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 18:55:59 GMT

Hi,

I have Inspiron 1545 and I've installed the latest available "Windows 7 Ultimate", but the OS could not detect the Dell Wireless 365 Bluetooth Module.

The Nokia N95 bluetooth finds the laptop bluetooth module, but there is no reaction from the Windows 7 OS. There is no Bluetooth device in the "Device Manager".

Is there any solutions to this problem ?

Wireless connection difficulties

d-vine — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 19:17:20 GMT

I had to perform a full system restore on my Inspiron 1720, using VISTA, since then I have been having issue connecting to my Netgear. It take a long time for my puter to identify the network. The icon show connected to netgear but not internet it can take up to 2 mins minimum( I have seen 5 mins) before it was instant connection. I went on 2 business trip and I could not connect wireless I had to use cable. And also I could not send e-mail out I could only rvcd. I think that the system restore changed some setting but I just cant put my finger on it. I know it is not the Netgear because my wife's laptop connects to it no problem and I am having the issue on the road too. And I have even disabled my Trend Micro to see if that was it but nothing changed.

Bluetooth connectivity

Mrs TC — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 20:24:07 GMT

I have just got a Vostro A860 and am trying to set up my Bluetooth. In Bluetooth Settings, when creating a New Connection, an error message comes up "Bluetooth is not ready" - this despite the Radio Switch and light being on. Is it possible that the machine doesn't have an internal Bluetooth device? I thought it was standard with this model, but how do I check (Device Manager shows Bluetooth RFCOMM under Bluetooth, but I think this is just the protocol?).

Can't connect to WPA or WPA2 network after Windows 7 upgrade.

dl84ll86 — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 06:35:29 GMT

I have a Inspiron 1545 with a 1397 WLAN mini-card. While upgrading to Windows 7 I uninstalled the wireless utility, but now I can't connect to WPA or WPA2 networks. I can connect to other wireless networks so I have confidence that my card still works. I have confirmed that my drivers are up to date as well. I tried to update my quickset, but it wouldn't work. I don't know if that has to do with anything. It is very important I get this connection working. It is the network used at work and I have no power to change it from WPA2. Any suggestions? Thank you

Dell Wireless WLAN Card Utility & Windows 7

oryx27 — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 01:39:25 GMT

Hello All,

I received my Windows 7 upgrade discs today and when I popped in the Windows 7 upgrade assistant disc, it scanned my system for incompatible software. Dell Wireless WLAN Card Utility was the only item on the list. The message reads:

"A Windows 7 compatible version of this software is not available in the upgrade DVD. Download a Windows 7 compatible version of this software from the vendor's web site."

I've Googled this and searched the Dell web site and forums but have not seen anything about this. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

I am running 64bit Vista Home Premium Edition on a Inspiron 1545 laptop.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

powerconnect 6224

stemoney — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 21:12:05 GMT

Having serious problems configuring my new powerconnect 6224.

First off ... when you restart the (unplug) switch does the system not save its configuration??

Having awful troubling finding information on setting up vlans and routing them.

I'm trying to find information on setting up 2 vlans and routing between them...

Not having much luck and i've been at it for a few days no. (having a dose of the flue doesn’t help)

If anyone can point to an easy setup guide it would be gratefully appreciated.

I have had a look at the manual and its more this is a vlan and this is a switch instead of telling you how to do things...

shine0505 — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 20:04:38 GMT

I've had my Studio XPS 16 for a week and blu rays and dvd would not play without stuttering. I called Dell and spent an hour and a half on remote assistance. He could not fix it, installed Catalyst center (i uninstalled it) which totally screwed up media center, then procceded to send me to advanced assistance because my 'video needed reconfiguring'. The lady I was transfered to then tells me that in order to assist me, I need to buy the $230 warrenty so she can address my 'software issue'. I said no thanks. I refuse to pay to have something fixed that I did not mess up, on a laptop that is only a week old, that they should have checked before they sent. Noticed the thread about removing the databackup program. I uninstalled the program, and voila, problem solved!! Blu ray runs beautifully. It took a customer five minutes on a forum to fix my problem, instead of the trained "professionals" in India. Dell, you really should move customer service back here. If I had not found that thread, this laptop would be going right back to Dell, even though I love it. If I pay $1600 for something, I expect it to work and get adequate, prepared assistance that I can understand.

Just had to post, maybe this can help someone else.

Dell 355 Wireless Bluetooth Module not working after upgrading from Vista to Windows 7.

mcvolution — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 19:52:22 GMT

I have a XPS M1530 that came loaded with 32-bit Vista Ultimate and after I upgraded the OS to Windows 7 Ultimate my Bluetooth device is no longer functioning. I've tried downloading the drive from the driver download site but it does not recognize the device. I checked the BIOS and the device is enabled. Is there a updated driver for this device for the Windows 7 OS?

Please help frustrated!

Wireless Card not enabled after failed Windows 7 upgrade

rcannistraro — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 18:56:01 GMT

I have attempted 5 different times to upgrade to Windows 7 and in the process was told to uninstall the WLAN utility. After failing over and over, I have decided to not upgrade right now.

The problem is that now my wireless card will not work. I downloaded the WLAN utility and drivers and installed them. The internet works if I use the ethernet cable but does not recognize that I have a wireless card.

I checked in the device manager and the card is listed and says enabled.

I wish I could figure out why the Windows 7 won't upgrade but for now I would settle for just having my wireless connection working again.

Frequent WiFi Disconnects

bluesolos — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 18:41:13 GMT

Hi,

I notice that I am frequently getting disconnected when I use my WiFi. I play WoW and it's really getting annoying. Perhaps this has something to do with the excessive heat of my laptop?

I am using a Dell Studio XPS 16 with Intel WiFi Link 5300 AGN.

Is there any way I can configure my network card to perform better? These disconnects are quite annoying.

Still having problems with connection!

Gigee — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 12:16:50 GMT

I will try to make this problem so you can understand what I am talking about this time.

I was doing the file&printer sharing. I have Windows Vista (main computer) connected to Modem and a Router. It is a Studio XPS 435MT. with a 64 Bit. 6GB Memory.

I did get my 9100 Desktop Dimension to use the Printer. I also have a Toshiba Laptop, that is the one I can't get to work. Something to do with not getting the right driver. Now that I have created a problem with the Studio's connection I really don't care about the Laptop. Meaning I will forget about connecting that to the Printer.

This is what happens. When I turn on the Studio XPS I get the red X (connection, two computers on Task Bar). I can't get to my Windows Mall or the Network Sharing from the Control Panel. It is like it is frozen. But it does come on after 20 minutes. I can use the IE or any other place I want to go.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem is?

Please help it is driving me crazy. Thanks!

Is the only way to get by this by reseting the router? Thanks

Bluetooth and wireless select switch not working on Mini 12

Mage66 — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 11:54:37 GMT

I had to reload Windows XP Home on my Mini 12 as the previous installation got messed up.

The Bluetooth Driver won't install because it says I need to turn Bluetooth on (it was off in the previous installation but worked). The Wireless select switch software won't work. The cmd line version says it can't find either the bluetooth or wireless, but the wireless is working fine.

I have an unknown device in device manager, but pointing it at the bluetooth driver doesn't work.

How can I get my bluetooth working again?

missing drivers

Tim Quinn — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 17:57:32 GMT

On the advice of a different forum I requested from Dell a windows xp reinstall disk. They quickly sent it to me along with 4 other discs and a cable of some kind. I followed the reinstall instructions to the letter but when I finished and tried to connect to the internet to download the drivers I got a message that said I couldn't connect to the internet because the ethernet adapter driver was not installed. I ran the other 4 cds that cam with my reinstall package, thinking the driver might be in there. No luck, still can't connect to the internet - still no ethernet adapter driver. I tried to download the drivers to the laptop I am using to write this post, thinking I could download them to a flash drive and transfer them to my pc. The drivers wouldn't download to the laptop. I got a message askimh me to install the download manager which I think I did. Now when I try to download, Nothing happens. Or its going to the download manager and I can't find it. Any ideas would be appreciated. I have a Dell Dimension 4700 with Windows XP Pro recently installed.

Problems with getting online

Gigee — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:58:40 GMT

I have been trying to set up file&printer sharing from Windows Vista (main computer) Studio XPS 435MT. I have a Dell Desktop 9100 which I can printer so that works. Now I have a Toshiba Laptop which I can't set up because of the printer's driver.

When I first got Studio after installing the new Dell V505 the Dell people had problems. I have Vista with a 64 Bit. For awhile I couldn't get the two computers to light up(task bar) meaning I was online. Then after 10 minutes I wold get rid of the red "X" and things would be ok. Now I am back with the same problem. I can't get online after I turn on Studio for about 15 minutes.

Does anyione have any suggestions on what I have done wrong. It might have something to do with setting up the file&printer sharing. Please help!

Thanks!

Studio XPS 13 - programs crash when streaming video/audio off internet

enghead — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 23:24:22 GMT

I'm using a Studio XPS 13 with Windows 7 professional 64-bit. I just installed the OS clean along with drivers, and have recently seen that whenever I try to stream audio or video from the internet the program that is trying to stream the information crashes. I have tried going to websites like hulu, youtube, and last.fm with both IE and firefox; everytime I try to load a video the program becomes non-responsive and I have to force shut it down and restart the program. This also happens whenever I try to webcam using MSN, gTalk, skype, and oovoo. However, playing audio and video directly from my computer such as in iTunes works fine.

the only reason I can think of behind this issue is that there is either a problem with a driver I have installed, or I am missing a critical driver that has something to do with streaming information from the internet. Has anyone else had this issue? What can I do to correct this problem?

Intel 82567lm driver for 2003 64bit Std on a Precision M2400 laptop (Used for demos)

sgrabham — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 09:18:00 GMT

Has anyone got the Intel driver for the 82567lm LAN to work in 2003 Std 64bit server?

When we try to run the Dells or Intels own drivers, The install says "No devices found", But driver works when you use XP Pro 64bit.

We need to use the server version for sales demos.

We have tried using older drivers which also failed to work.

I'm plan on purchasing a Inspiron 15. Trying to decide between wireless cards. Any recommendations between:

Intel WiFi Link 5100 802.11 Wireless-N Mini Card
Dell Wireless 1515 802.11 Wireless-N Mini-card

The Intel is $15 more. Am I buying more than the name on the card. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

How do I get in touch with DELL's corporate office?

Hi,

I have been calling DELL for hours and have been transferred at least 20 times. I am a University student in France, and I'm working on a project concerning DELL's unique distribution strategy and its evolution. I would like to ask a few questions that may help us understand the organization of DELL's different distribution channels, and why for example it has begun selling more in hypermarkets and electronic stores recently, as oposed to relying solely on Internet sales. Does this have to do with product diversification, globalization, a response to competition?? We would like to ask a number of questions of this nature to better understand the DELL company in light of our dissertation. Please put us in contact with somebody in Marketing & Sales at the corporate office, so that we may make an appointment for a short interview. This would be of greatest help. Thank you and we hope to be hearing from you very soon.

Yours Sincerely,

Daniela

PCI Ethernet Card for use in Windows 98SE

Am in the process of subscribing to my City's owned Fiber Optic system for internet access.

I do have a much newer desktop that will be no problem in connecting to that system because it already has an Ethernet connection that I currently use with a modem for the Cox Cable internet service.

But, I also have a much older Dell Dimension XPS T600r (PIII) that is running Windows 98SE.

Since it did not come with an Ethernet Card, is there an Ethernet Card that I can currently purchase & install that will allow me to connect that old computer to the Fiber Optic system for "limited" access to the Internet. Do you have a specific card that you can recommend.

I assume that this old system will somewhat limit the speed at which I can connect, but anything is better than the only other alternative of Dialup.
