Windows was unable to connect to this network

windows-7 wireless-networking macbook-pro

Solution 1

Sorry for my stupidity. It was just a wrong security key - windows didn't report that it was incorrect but silently failed the connection. When I tried the same on Mac OS, it has reported the error correctly.

In details that is how it worked for me:

Right click on the network icon in the tray and select Open Network and Sharing Center
Select Manage wireless networks on the left
Click Add in the toolbar
Select Manually create a network profile
Type SSID (name) of your network
Select security and encryption type (if the combination you selected won't work - you can change it later)
Type into your security key (make sure it's correct).
Click Next and Close

Now click once on the tray icon and see if the connection is shown with red cross next to it. Typically that means that you have selected the wrong security/encryption type at step 6. Just right click the connection and select Properties. There at Security tab you can change security and encryption types. Try different combinations until you'll get rid of the red cross. Then just click on the connection and select Connect. It should work now.

Good luck!

P.S. If there is a demand to show this in pictures - please write in comments and I'll create screenshots.

Solution 2

Is there an open unsecured wireless network within range that windows might latch onto? I've had systems grab my neighbor's unsecured (stock!) netgear unit which is just barely in range... it thinks 'free wireless!!', but it can't talk to the router to negotiate the connection.

Sounds stupid, but this is one of those 'phase of the moon' type things... try rebooting the router. Just unplug it, count to ten in Swahili, then plug it back in.... Mine does this occasionally where it doesn't want to talk to anyone new. Yes, your Mac side of Bootcamp can connect, but Windows has a different 'flavor' to the router. (hopefully, that made sense)

Just point to a corner of the apartment... yell loudly "Look! It's Elvis/Stalin/E.T./StayPuft Man!!!" And while they're gawking, reboot the router...

Honest... it works. (the reboot, AND the Look! thing...)

           1 AS [Type]
    FROM SubSubCategoryFollowers SSCF
    LEFT JOIN SubSubCategories SSC ON SSCF.SubSubCategoryId = SSC.SubSubCategoryId              
    INNER JOIN Feed c on c.FeedId = SSC.FeedId
    inner join Users u on u.UserId = SSCF.UserId
    WHERE u.Email is not null

does the network connection between Win7 and your Mac work fine? Can ping each other? Share? etc... and will it work "wired"?
user1222303 almost 12 years

Both Win7 and Mac are installed on the same computer, so there can't be any connection between them as they can't be booted at the same time. I couldn't try it wired since I didn't have a cable, but I have found a solution to the problem (see below).

Yes, please add your current output to your question.
coderwill almost 7 years

@iamdave i have edit my question you can check this and please help me on that.
iamdave almost 7 years

As far as I am aware that is how XML works? Is your current output giving you any actual problems with wherever you are using the generated XML?
coderwill almost 7 years

@iamdave so can you please let me know where is my mistake in the query?
iamdave almost 7 years

Why do you think there is a mistake? Is your XML file not working when uploaded/processed in another application?

Nice approach to rebooting a router (Look! thing) :)
alpha almost 12 years

Yeah, Windows is weird that way... mistype the key... it SAYS it's connected, but it LIES!!! LIES!!! Mac, Linux, Android, they all say "Bad Key, Try again"... But Windows LIES! I'm glad you figured it out. Of course, admitting that you fat-fingered the key is a good thing. Good for your soul, or karma, or such. We'll laugh, but it's a sympathetic laugh, because we've ALL done it. Of course, no one mentioned the possibility of mistyping the key... because would be like calling you stupid in public. Wouldn't want to do that, that's mean. Glad you got it working.

I don't see how this would plausibly be the cause of the problem.

You should try yourself. I think it's not so hard to map my answer with your code.... :)

i am getting this error The FOR XML clause is invalid in views, inline functions, derived tables, and subqueries when they contain a set operator. To work around, wrap the SELECT containing a set operator using derived table syntax and apply FOR XML on top of it.

Hello triv i am trying to add your solution with my query and i am get result also but pagination is not working so any idea?
