I have Windows 7 Home Premium and I can't connect to a network. I'm hard wired to a Belking router. The only other computer on the network is a Macbook Pro running OSX Mavericks. The network icon in the bottom right does not show any problems. It just says no connections are available. I can reach the internet just fine with no problems. I've done all the typical checks. 1. reset ip 2. cleared dns 3. checked for updated driver for network adapter 4. Repaired Windows with an install. 5. Removed all Virus software. 6. Used Mr. Fix It (I was desperate at this point.) My end goal is to access my itunes library on the main computer as…

This also happens with the replacement wireless keyboard. It happens no matter what. Supwidat? Continue reading...

Hi guys, I have PFsense installed and it has been working so far - I originally set it up because I had two separate public IP ranges on my dedicated server - I have two addresses in one subnet - 1.2.3.4 and 1.2.3.5. One of those is for my dedicated server and the other is assigned to the WAN interface on PFsense. then I have another subnet that is routed directly to the WAN ip of pfsense. This subnet is also public and is 5.6.7.8/28, so I assigned one of those IP addresses as LAN interface on PFsense, and then I use that address as the gateway for all of my other VMs, which use a static address from the pool of addresses available in that subnet. I had to …
