KenB Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Hi, Some laptops have a switch - either on the front edge of the case or on a panel at the back of the keyboard - to turn on the wireless option. Does yours ? And is it on ? If you right click the monitor icon ( bottom right of screen ) and select "Connect to a Network" can you see yours ? Start > Run ....type in ....devmgmt.msc ....ENTER Click the + next to Network Adapters Are there any yellow exclamation marks ? Is there a WiFi adapter listed ?

KenB Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 windows mobile-based device I think this is linked with a mobile phone - does this make any sense to you ? Take a look here: How do I start the Wireless/WLAN Zero Configuration? We have done some of this - but you need to do the "Wired Auto Config" instructions. Follow the full instructions.

KenB Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 Have you tried re-installing the drivers for the atheros ar5007 ? Can I ask why you are using an adapter when, according to the specs for your computer, you have wirless built in ?

jinkie Posted January 4, 2011 Author Posted January 4, 2011 i have tryed to up date thev drivers and they up dated ok but still no internet its the built in wifi adapter i am trying to get working thanks for helping me Quote
KenB Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Hi, I am a bit confused. Take a look here: Software & Driver Downloads HP G7000 CTO Notebook PC - HP Customer Care (United States - English) Is this your machine? Click the + next to Network There are 2 Wireless drivers listed - but not atheros ar5007 Quote There is an email going around offering processed pork - gelatin - and salt in a can ......this is simply SPAM !!

jinkie Posted January 5, 2011 Author Posted January 5, 2011 yes i think that is the same as mine on the network the two drivers listed are atheros ar5007 802.11b/g wifi adapters and realtek rtl8139/810x family fast ethernet nic i cant finde two wifi adapters should there be two Quote
KenB Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Am I missing something? I see : Supported Devices and Features Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965 Intel PRO/Wireless 3945 Network Connection Intel PRO/Wireless 2915 Network Connection Intel PRO/Wireless 2200 Network Connection Supported Devices and Features Broadcom 802.11 a/b/g Broadcom 802.11 b/g Broadcom 4321AG 802.11a/b/g/draft-n Wi-Fi Adapter Broadcom 54g MaxPerformance 802.11g Quote There is an email going around offering processed pork - gelatin - and salt in a can ......this is simply SPAM !!

KenB Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Try the following: Go to Device Manager ( Start > type ......devmgmt.msc ......) Click the > next to Network Adapters Right click on the WiFi adapter > Uninstall. If you have more than one WiFi adapter showing uninstall all. Do not uninstall the NIC. Shut down and re-boot. Windows should recognise new hardware ( your wireless adapter ) Let me know what it is picking up ( if anything ).
