If your network doesn’t do networking anymore - and it comes down to the Windows IP Stack, try reseting it this way:
(In Admin CMD):

netsh int ip reset C:\netsh.log.txt
netsh winsock reset

After that, reboot

[Win8.1] Android MTP doesn't work

Got Windows 8.1 installed? MTP doesn’t work?
Well - maybe you got the Windows 8.1 N Version installed. The Version without Windows Media Player - and without MTP Drivers!
Just install the Windows Media Feature Pack for Windows 8.1 - reboot - and it works. It’s Magic, ain’t it?!

[Win8.1] EEE PC 1015PN and Windows 8.1

Sun, 17 Nov 2013 11:47:46 +0000

Very funny coincidence: Exactly one year after my devastating test of Windows 8 on the EEE PC 1015PN (here) I tried Windows 8 again - 8.1 to be frankly.

After booting from the DVD, I entered my Key and choose to keep my data and such - an Upgrade Installation. Sadly, installer told me that I needed to choose that after booting into Windows 7 and starting the installation process there. Well, I did. But I only could choose to keep my data - not my programs(!). Sad, but - well. So - if you want to install and keep your stuff: Try to install Windows 8 first and then upgrade to Windows 8.1! I made an backup (just in any case - last time showed me the importance again…) and started with the installation. I took quite a while, but in the end it succeded. This time (and maybe because I changed my Wifi/Bluetooth Card from Azure for an Intel ABGN/WiMax Card?!) - I got none problems with Wifi. Working excellent from the first moment on.
