I have a 3com wireless router with a network of three pc's connected, one of them a dell laptop, all running xp, we have recently got a compaq presario laptop with Vista home premium, no matter what I try it will not see my network router although it does see other routers which are in the vicinity. The 3com website doesn't support the router with anything nowdays although I only bought it a year ago.

You don't have anything like Mac address filtering enabled on the wireless router do you?

Good question, Banfa!
Have you also tried restarting the router, pmcbrco?
Your router may not yet know the existance of this new notebook. See if that works...

I am running into a very similar problem. I recently upgraded my Toshiba laptop to Vista Business and it can no longer see either my Netgear wireless router or Belkin wireless access point (WAP). It does show other wireless networks in the area. I had absolutely no problems accessing the router and WAP from the same laptop while XP Professional was installed on it before the upgrade to VISTA.

I am using VS Express (VB and C#) under Vista Ultimate. When I installed I
got msg to install updates to make VS work with Vista. I did this and
turned off the msg to show that it is not compatable. At present there are
all sorts of VS errors (just like VS 2002). Things like my right hand CTL
key after a while turns CTL-C etc into non english characters. Close and
open to get rid of.
Any ideas????

Well, to start I just got Windows Vista a few months ago. It works great, but the trouble came when I decided to connect all of my computers - XP Home, XP Professional and Vista - to a home network. I have a broadband connection that connects into my wireless router, and the Vista connects, wired, through that router. My ethernet printer also connects through that router. I have 2 wireless computers, an XP Home and XP Professional, that connect...

Hi, I'm having a network problem I'm hoping I can resolve (and a few questions.)
Currently I have a desktop with XP Pro on it. I just purchased a laptop with Vista, and wanted to network it with the desktop. For some reason, the desktop can locate and access the laptop, but the laptop cannot locate or even see the desktop. They're both in the same work group and network, and all the sharing permissions are turned on, as far as I can tell.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
