Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
vw, what OS are you using?
Taking the message to be correct, it doesn't necessarily sound terrible. Sounds like two different programs are trying to use the wireless adapter at the same time. Which is odd, as normally the OS would have direct control over the adapter and all programs that need internet access would go though the OS. So possibly some network utility you don't know about is trying to get direct access to the wireless?
Anyway, that's the theory....
I have Windows XP Professional.
Ok. Maybe I just need to reboot. I was afraid someone was trying to access my computer.
Do I have to change the View setting for every single folder I go into, though? There's not a way to do it globally?
Go to Tools --> Folder Options. Click the View tab. Click the Apply to All Folders button. (make sure your current folder looks like you want, obviously.)
Rebooting fixed it! Thanks.
YAY! Thanks Dana!
Airport question: I have an Airport Extreme that suddenly has started, instead of sharing the IP address across all computers (i.e. 10.0.x.x) is giving one computer the main IP address (70.45.x.x) and therefore not allowing any of the others to connect. I've tried all the obvious stuff (unplugging and waiting, hard reset, unplugging all other routers in the area, and so on)
Have you tried running the airport utility?
It sound like it's been somehow set to "pass thru" mode.
# Open AirPort Admin Utility.
# Select the base station and click Configure, then click Network.
# Deselect the "Distribute IP addresses" checkbox.
# "Save" or "Apply", what ever it says.
# Select the "Distribute IP addresses" checkbox.
