| 1272113 | 2012-04-26 07:41:00 | Is it possible to transfer the internet settings from my Vista pc to the new Windows 7 PC? | QW. (15883) | ||
| 1272114 | 2012-04-26 08:33:00 | Just write down what they are in Vista and then do the verse on the Win 7 PC or do you mean dial network settings / VPN.?? | paulw (1826) | ||

| 1272116 | 2012-04-26 11:02:00 | For connecting to the internet and the email client. | QW. (15883) | ||
| 1272117 | 2012-04-26 11:55:00 | Are you on dial-up Internet? With broadband you usually don't need settings, the computer just connects thru wifi or network cable to the router modem .... So you just install the drivers again b/c they are unique to each computer. There may be your wifi password but you can just put it in once and save password somehow. B/c I did it once so long ago ... I cannot recall how it was done. What email client do you have? I have Outlook but could be wrong, I have never known a way to save the settings. I have used export PST file but that only saves the contents not the email server settings. |

| 1272119 | 2012-04-26 13:06:00 | Just export the settings in whatever program you had in Vista. Then import them into TB. Unless you use static ips, you dont have to do anything to get Win7 on the net. Just hook it to the LAN / router. That should be it | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1272120 | 2012-04-26 13:40:00 | You will need static ip addresses if you are using Telstraclear cable (www.telstraclear.co.nz) for your 'net. | feersumendjinn (64) | ||
| 1272121 | 2012-04-26 21:12:00 | If you are using a Router, then simply plug in the cable to the New PC, all the settings are in the router. If you have Telstar Broadband like feersumendjinn mentioned and dont have a router attached to the modem, then you will have to enter in the network adaptor settings what ever your IP address is that telstra gave you. Telstra also do ADSL as well, so if you have telstra ADSL, then simply plug in the cable. Email -- you may have to manually setup the email settings, user name, password and mail servers ( pop/pop3 & smtp) to who ever you are with. |
