Can you give me a hint. It does not sound that resetting the router all the time was the solution. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/error-101-problems-help-please#post-36798 Wed, 23 Jul 2008 01:03:23 +0000 bg 36798@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>OK, for the last day my laptop &#38; desktop are both on &#38; off the internet at different times. it seems when i get the laptop connecting to the internet then my desktop will not connect. usually unpluging and repluging my router solves the problem but that got old after 5 or 6 times. then the same procedure seems to come up with my printer. I HAVE NOW SOLVED THE PROBLEMS. </p> <p>Edit by mod- glad you solved the problem though </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/error-101-problems-help-please#post-36267 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 09:01:57 +0000 whs 36267@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>@bg, Interesting that you say that because I have exactly the same problem. The desktop printer that I (actually the wife) used to share from the laptop gives me the "off line" answer now too. I have not yet spent much time on debugging the problem. Was playing around a little with the firewalls, but that did not help. I suggest that whoever finds the solution first will post it - that is the best I can think of right now. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/error-101-problems-help-please#post-36230 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 01:22:02 +0000 bg 36230@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>whs, you were right. i purchased a d-link rangebooster n usb adapter and i can now get on line wirelessly. but, now i cannot get my printer which is attached to my desktop to print from my laptop. it is a great hp usb printer and of course it works perfectly from my desktop. my laptop keeps telling me that my printer is off line and i have not figured out how to get it on line. oh yes, i have also uninstalled and reinstalled the printer software on my laptop and my printer is set as the default printer on my laptop and desktop. any suggestions? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/error-101-problems-help-please#post-36098 Sun, 20 Jul 2008 16:14:15 +0000 whs 36098@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>On mine everything was working properly too - at least it said so. But the light next to the WiFi switch in the front stayed amber (in lieu of blue - for ON) - so I suspect the switch as the culprit. Check that, if you have that switch too (ON is towards the left) - I just assume the HP's are alike - mine is a dv6000. If it really does not work, get a USB WiFi stick - that's what I did. Repairing the laptop is a pain, because you have to send it to HP. Maybe you also want to call HP technical support 1-800-474-6836. They may have diagnostic programs in the BIOS like DELL. I have never checked that on the HP. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/error-101-problems-help-please#post-36090 Sun, 20 Jul 2008 15:40:26 +0000 bg 36090@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>yes it works on the ethernet but not on the WiFi. it is a hp laptop model # hp pavilion dv9817cl notebook that is only 60 days old. when i go into device manager and click on the "NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller" and then click on "Atheros AR5007 802./11b/g WiFi Adapter" they both tell me that they are working properly and that they have the latest driver software. so, do you still think it is a bad adapter or just some settings in my computer that have gotten screwed up. if it is the settings, i don't have the slightest idea what &#38; where to look and how to fix it. any advise would be appreciated. p.s. - i originally stated that all this happend after we had a storm come through - i forgot that we turrned off and unplugged the laptop before the storm hit. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/error-101-problems-help-please#post-36029 Sun, 20 Jul 2008 09:30:47 +0000 whs 36029@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>If it works on the ethernet but not on the WiFi, chances are your WiFi is broken. Just had this last week on my HP laptop. Went out and bought a USB WiFi stick and everything came back to normal. These USB sticks are not expensive (+/- $20). </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/error-101-problems-help-please#post-35992 Sun, 20 Jul 2008 02:39:49 +0000 CJs 35992@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Problem sounds like it might be more with the laptop itself.
