Windows Vista Requirements

Windows vista System Requirements.

According to Microsoft corp, computers hardware requirements for Windows Vista are classified as Vista Capable and Vista Premium Ready. It show minimum hardware requirement for windows operating system. There is windows device specification for every new windows OS including windows 11,10, 8 and so on.

A Windows Vista (requirements) Capable or equivalent PC requirement.

needs to have at minimum an 800 MHz processor, 512 MB RAM and a DirectX 9 class graphics card. A computer that meets these hardware requirements will be capable of running all editions of Windows Vista although some of the special features and high end graphics options may require additional or more advanced hardware for windows vista.

A Windows Vista Premium Ready PC hardware requirement.

will take advantage of windows Vista's "high-end" features but will need at least a 1.0 GHz processor, 1 GB main memory, and an Aero-compatible graphics card with at least 128 MB graphics memory and supporting the new Windows Display Driver Model. The company also offers Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor from its website to determine the requirement of a PC to run Windows Vista in its various guises. The utility runs on Windows XP (with Service Pack 2) and Windows Vista.

Microsoft lists some Windows Vista capable hardware on their website. The "Windows Vista Premium Ready" laptops they specify have Intel Core 2 Duo T5500 or above CPUs and 1 GB memory.

Windows Vista's "Basic" and "Classic" interfaces will work with virtually any graphics hardware that supports Windows XP or 2000; accordingly, most discussion around Vista's graphics requirements centers on those for the Windows Aero interface. As of Windows Vista Beta 2, the NVIDIA GeForce FX family and later, the ATI Radeon 9500 and later, Intel's GMA 950 integrated graphics, and a handful of VIA chipsets and S3 Graphics discrete chips are supported requirements. Though some XGI Technology Volari chips were DirectX 9 (including the Volari V3XT which was available in PCI cards), with XGI's exit from the graphics card business it appears none of its chips are supported as of Windows Vista Beta 2. A PCI Express (PCIe) video card is not a requirement for Windows Aero, but Microsoft recommends PCIe video over an AGP device due to the interface's greater bandwidth. There are some PCI cards available that are compatible with Windows Vista as well.

Windows Network Troubleshooting

Windows network troubleshooting Tutorial.

Fix connected to Unidentified Network.

 Windows can sometimes cause network adapters to show up as connected to an "Unidentified Network", sometimes limiting the network to local access only.

 

There are many reasons that can cause Unidentified Network problem in Windows computer, but some suggested solutions to try are: 

Steps to repair Windows Network Problem.

• Reset Router using the web control panel.

• Update network adapter drivers. 

• Temporary disable any Anti-Virus/Firewall package to see if the problem is resolved. 

• Try assigning a static IP address to the network card. 

• Disable IPv6 on old network cards / routers. 

These suggestions may help you to narrow down the cause of the "unidentified network" problem.
Troubleshooting computer network is among the most important job descriptions of the network administrators, system administrators, network technicians and the IT consultants. A computer network can have different kinds of problems such as it can be infected with virus and spyware, attacked by hackers, accessed by unauthorized users and may face connectivity failure issues due to the faulty network devices or configurations.

Following is a list of the basic network troubleshooting commands that are built-in the Windows based operating systems and UNIX etc. The right use of these troubleshooting commands can helps a lot in diagnosing and resolving the issues with windows computer network. few more windows Windows tips.

List of Command used for computer network troubleshooting in windows, Unix, Linux and Macintosh.

1) PING command.

PING full form is Packet INternet Gopher or Packet INter-network Gopher.

Ping is the most important network troubleshooting command and it checks the connectivity with the other computers. For example your system’s IP address is 10.10.10.10 and your network servers’ IP address is 10.10.10.1 and you can check the connectivity with the server by using the Ping command in following format.
At DOS prompt type Ping 10.10.10.1 and press enter.
If you get the reply from the server then the connectivity is OK and if you get the error message like this “Request time out” this means the there is some problem in the connectivity with the server.

2) IPCONFIG command for network repair.

IPCONFIG full form is Internet Protocol CONFIGuration.

IPconfig is another important network problem troubleshooting command in Windows, Unix and Linux. It shows the IP address of the computer and also it shows the DNS, DHCP, Gateway addresses of the network and subnet mask.
At DOS prompt type ipconfig and press enter to see the IP address of your computer.

At DOS prompt type inconfig/all and press enter to see the detailed information.DOS full form is Disk Operating System. DHCP full form is Dynamic Host Control Protocol.

3) NSLOOKUP command to fix Network related problem.

NSLOOKUP full form is Name Server LOOKUP.

NSLOOKUP is a TCP/IP based command and it checks domain name aliases, DNS records, operating system information by sending query to the Internet Domain Name Servers. You can resolve the errors with the DNS of your network server. DNS full form is Domain Name Server.

4) HOSTNAME command for network repairs.

Hostname command shows you the computer name.
At DOS prompt type Hostname and press enter.

5) NETSTAT command for computer networking.

NETSTAT full form is NETwork STATastics.
NETSTAT utility shows the protocols statistics and the current established TCP/IP connections in the computer.

6) NBTSTAT for windows networking.

NBTSTAT full form is Net Bios TSTAT. It is used for net bios name resolution to fix network issue.

NBTSTAT helps to troubleshoot the NETBIOS name resolutions problems.

7) ARP command for networking.

ARP full form is Address Resolution Protocol.

ARP displays and modifies IP to Physical address translation table that is used by the ARP protocols.

8) FINGER command for network repair diagnosis.

Finger command is used to retrieve the information about a user on a network.

9) TRACERT command for networking.

TRACERT full form isTRACE RouTe.

Tracert command is used to determine the path of the remote system. This tool also provides the number of hops and the IP address of each hop. For example if you want to see that how many hops (routers) are involved to reach any URL and what’s the IP address of each hop then use the following command.
At command prompt type tracert www.yahoo.com or google.com. You will see a list of all the hops and their IP addresses.

10) TRACEROUTE command for network diagnosis.

Traceroute is a very useful network debugging command and it is used in locating the server that is slowing down the transmission on the internet and it also shows the route between the two systems.

11) ROUTE command for network routing table.

Route command allows you to make manual entries in the routing table.
Hopefully the above mentioned commands will help you to diagnose and troubleshooting computer networking problems.
