Synchman Posted June 27, 2007 Author CID Share Posted June 27, 2007 Update: I tried to open my router admin page to turn off the router firewall. From my XP machine via wireless, I get to my router admin page at 192.168.1.1 with no problem. When I try with my Vista machine it times out and gives the error "Failure to Connect to Web Page". Maybe this is a clue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted June 27, 2007 CID Share Posted June 27, 2007 Man, Id'e like to help, but I really know nothing about dway service. Someone will come around , please be patient . BTW welcome to testmy.net synchman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggr3 Posted June 27, 2007 CID Share Posted June 27, 2007 OK....I don't have the 7000....only the 6000....I'm also not running vista...only XP..however ...looking at your posts...I'd have to say that the properties in you vista machine are not set up correctly...within your browser..(IE or what ever it is)...these are quite crutial to the software that Hughes uses..try comparing them to another XP machine and see if you can see the problem...and check all the tabs in there....proxy is a biggy... and welcome to the forum...also tpc optimizer seems to work better for most Dway users....including myself..

Synchman Posted June 27, 2007 Author CID Share Posted June 27, 2007 Browser settings are as per Direcway's recommendations. I have tried both Mozilla and IE. I am mainly testing with IE. I tried TCP Optimizer. No improvement in speed test results. The speed is fine if wired to the router, but drops dramatically as soon as I disconnect the wire and go wireless. I tried wireless right next to the router, so I don't think it is a signal strength problem. My router is an enclosure out in the yard with my Direcway dish and modem. Wireless is fine with two other WinXP machines, and a Win98SE machine. I agree it could be a Vista setting. Web searches indicate leading causes of slow internet for Vista are anti-virus, poor signal strength, interacting firewalls, or wireless security. I have ruled out these as causes in my case. I even tried a quick test with my hardware firewall disabled - no improvement. I may have to resort to installing XP on this machine and running Vista in Virtual PC. But I could go through all of that pain and not correct the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggr3 Posted June 27, 2007 CID Share Posted June 27, 2007 Well I'm not a wireless guru here....but is your wireless transponder built into the computer or is it a plug in unit. Maybe if it's a plug in you could try it in another machine to see if it's really working correctly......just a thought.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synchman Posted June 28, 2007 Author CID Share Posted June 28, 2007 It is built -in with a wireless antenna in the lid. However, I have a wireless card in my Win 98SE machine I could test in the Vista machine to see if is indeed a problem with the wireless unit in the Vista machine. I may convert to XP first anyway... Not happy with Vista's lack of campatibility with most of my programs, and the wireless problem to boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
granpa Posted June 28, 2007 CID Share Posted June 28, 2007 First read this http://www.dslreports.com/faq/satellite it may help. As far as I know there are no settings for Vista. Browser settings are as per DirecWay's recommendations. I have tried both Mozilla and IE. I am mainly testing with IE. I tried TCP Optimizer. No improvement in speed test results. The speed is fine if wired to the router, but drops dramatically as soon as I disconnect the wire and go wireless. I tried wireless right next to the router, so I don't think it is a signal strength problem. My router is an enclosure out in the yard with my DirecWay dish and modem. I may have to resort to installing XP on this machine and running Vista in Virtual PC. But I could go through all of that pain and not correct the problem. The first is to check your settings in the modem by hooking direct and with your browser go to 192.168.0.1 and look under system, don't post your site or account numbers. In this area also check your send and receive stats for errors and post along with your signal. I don't understand why you modem and router are outside by the dish. Give an explanation of your network. The dish has coax from the LNB and Transmitter back into the house (direct burial if on a pole) going through a ground block just inside then to the modem. Grounding procedures are a must. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synchman Posted July 4, 2007 Author CID Share Posted July 4, 2007 Well, here is my update. I solved my problem by removing Vista and doing a clean install of Win XP.
