error message Hi I have finally got my daughters laptop running and the wi fi card installed however although it tells me I am connected and strength is excellent it will not find a web page the following shows on the bottom task bar when trying to connect to a web page cwindows/system32\shdoclc.dll/derror.htm What does this mean and how do I fix it I realise this next question is probably a simple question with an equally simple answer but what is virtual memory? as my desk top has told me I am low on it As I think you'll agree my status as being a trainee geek is true. Thanks, all your support and advice is invaluable. Robin
firstly let me please apologize for being wrong earlier (here) right, to your query i think this hes to do with QoS (Quality Of Service) now it sounds complicated (and it is) but basically QoS just means the quality of a service, so, a device is providing a Wi-Fi service & obviously the quality of the flow of data across the Wi-Fi network is bad, this has nothing to do with the signal strength between the Wi-Fi devices do you mean "dnserror" Virtual Memory is used (theoretically) when your system has used all available RAM, ideally virtual memory shold be set to twice the usable RAM, howevr some programs need a lot of virtual memory to instruct you i need to know, what Operating System (OS) you are using ?
I am using windows xp home The message at the bottom of the page it nows says Done but it has still not conected cannot find server or DNS Error Internet explorer I am intending to change this to Safari once I am conected.
right, right click My Computer (on desktop), select "Properties" and on one of the tabs (advanced i think) you will see "virtual memory" (on a button, i think) :unsure: now you have 2 values, min & max make sure both values are equal at least double the amount of usable RAM in the system or any value you think you need the max to be well maybe you are another person who needs to apply this patch i was actually referring to the error maybe i should have put that i was only refrrering to filename of "derror.htm" did it say "dnserror" :good: i don't like IE, i fact i'm using Linux (thats why im unsure)
ok, this is a common problem with seemingly multiple solutions, but I have yet to determine what exactly causes/initiates the problem, try the following start DOS mode (start>run>ok, enter cmd>ok) & enter ipconfig /all (write the results down to note any anomalies) ipconfig /flushdns ipconfig /registerdns ipconfig /release ipconfig /renew ipconfig /all (and post both results, for comparison) if that sorts it, great if not post HighjackThis results
This didn't work. As far as HIGHJACKTHIS I can't connect but these are the results as per your instructions.

Cannot find server or DNS Error is at the bottom of the page when I tried to connect again. Also what is HIGHJACK THIS?
HijackThis is a tool that lists all installed browser add-on, buttons, startup items and allows you to inspect, and optionally remove selected items. The program can create a backup of your original settings and also ignore selected items. Additional features include a startup list report, hosts file manager, uninstall manager and some other tools, it is intended for advanced users, it is actually quite good and version 2.02 (latest version) should be installed on every PC with a net connection, for help dianosing if you have a problem like your havin Edit: no it hasn't, if you look your Wi-Fi card is still their
strange just displays info releases IP's assigns IP's so the outputs should be very similar BTW: i'll PM RHochstenbach & see what he thinks, cos i'm not familiar or comfortable with Win & wireless Edit: he'll soon be here
ok I've tried all again but after registerdns its states No operation can be performed on LAC while it's media is disconnected
shut up, i know[ot]LOL[/ot]i don't mind, if i'm being a plank, i'll admit it, unlike most people BTW: i've also PM'd Saba as he was online Edit: i think you just need to tell IE to connect to net through LAN, but i was over complicating it, i always do
In IE LAN Settings are set to Automatically detect settings. Should I select Use a proxy server for your LAN (These settings will not apply to dial-up or VPN connections)
Source Edit: sorry about all the crap earlier, i ALWAYS over complicate stuff, but hopefully i'll learn from my mistakes (fat chance)
right I tried that didn't work so tried Ping 192.168.2.1 this is what appeared on the LAPTOP Pinging 192.168.2.1 with 32 bytes of data: reply from 192.168.2.1 bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128 This repeated 4 times ping statistics for 192.168.2.1: Packets: sent = 4, Recieved = 4, Lost = 0 <0% loss>, Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds: Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms c:\Documents and Settings\emma> Its all complicated to me what ever happened to pen and paper!!
