Laptop Connection Problem - System Admin Discussion Boards

What's your problem? ...RH usually has rather straight forward settings for hooking up to a network... I've never really had issues with it.

Ndis->passthru is a sample in WDK, passthru can get packet data by MPSendPackets()

NdisQueryPacket( pPacket,NULL,NULL,NULL,&PacketSize);  
NdisAllocateMemory( &pPacketContent, 2000, 0,HighestAcceptableMax);  		
NdisQueryBufferSafe(pPacket->Private.Head, &pBuf, &BufLength, 32 );  
i = BufLength;  	
pNext = pPacket->Private.Head;  
for(;;)
{  		
	if(pNext == pPacket->Private.Tail)  		
		break;  		
pNext = pNext->Next;  
 
	if(pNext == NULL)   			
		break;  		  		
 
	NdisQueryBufferSafe(pNext,&pBuf,&BufLength,32);
	NdisMoveMemory(pPacketContent+i,pBuf,BufLength);
	i+=BufLength;  	
}      
 
DBGPRINT(("(char*)&pPacketContent[54] : %s \n",(char *)&pPacketContent[54]));

I want to modify data of pPacketContent[55], and remake the packet.

Can anyone give me a sample? Thanks!

I'm not a network/hardwre person, so bear with me.

I have a laptop connected wirelessly that I can't see in Network Neighborhood. If I connect it with cable, I can then see it. The firewall on the laptop is off. All the other pc's in the office can see each other in Network Neighborhood.

I could use some help troubleshooting this.

Thanks

If it's not broken, fix it until it is

That can happen for a number of reasons...
0. In newer versions of Windows, you have to tell Windows that you're in a trusted zone or else it blocks certain services. Make sure you've specified that you're in a home or work network as opposed to a public network.
1. Are you sure your wifi network can even access the rest of the network? In some places, the wifi is isolated so that you can't even access the rest of the network or placed in a different subnet so that there's virtual separation.
2. Make sure your adapter doesn't have NetBIOS turned off, not sure if this would cause that problem exactly but it should be on in a work network anyway.
3. Make sure your computer is on the same domain (should be if it works over the wire).

What OS are you using anyway?

Hi,

We currently use Dell Latitude 2120 as our In-field Netbooks.

One has been returned to us in a real mess and I thought the easiest option would be to "Restore to Factory Settings". Apparently that's easier said than done according to Dell.

When speaking to Dell they said my only option is to do a fresh install of Windows 7 and download all the drivers.

When giving this a go I noticed that there is a recovery partition on them.

Anyone have any idea's how to access and if possible use the recovery partition to "Restore to Factory Settings".

P.S. I've tried the original Ctrl + F11.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

In some Dell models there is also the "F10" (If I'm not mistaken) key to access the recovery partition.

But most times this is a question of timming with the Crt+F11 shortcut.

here is a good guide for the multiple options of recover you might won't to try, and also pros and cons of each :
http://forum.notebookreview.com/dell/453164-dell-system-recovery-guide.html#post5768224

Turn on the computer, at the "Dell" splash screen hold down CTRL and press F11. Let go of both keys.

I think the trick is to hold CTRL just after you turn it on and then press F11 a few times... eventually you'll get it Smile | :)

Hope this helps.

Our IT dept uses Radia to deploy patches/software etc. The problem is that its not very informative, and through out the day you just get random 'please reboot' prompts. Is there a way of working out, why radia wants to reboot your pc for the fourth time?

Contact their helpdesk, ask if there's a technical person who can list the updates. If one of those processes is "in use" on the client's PC, then it cannot be replaced (you can't replace a running executable) and will be replaced on the next boot, just before the login-screen appears. Hence the need for a (4th) reboot.

Ask them if they could set up the patches so that the clients all update at the same time, preferably before office-hours. That would mean that all computers should be booted at that time, but that's when the most clients will not be using their apps, and it should limit the amount of reboots required during the day.

Hello! I read many forums and did not get a competent and accurate answer so I decided to post here.

I have bought a laptop and it has installed Russian language on windows 7 home premium. I know the only way to change the language via the language pack is to upgrade to higher versions but I have the following question: Can I download and install the same version (windows 7 home premium 64bit) with US English now with the same product key with keeping license?

Thank you

If it's an OEM-version, then no - it would be bound to that region, including it's pricing. Otherwise, you could try and contact Microsoft support. Bastard Programmer from Hell if you can't read my code, try converting it here[^]
