No wireless connection in network connections

I did a clean install of Windows XP.  I ran all the updates.  There is no wireless connection in my network connections.  I looked on the microsoft website without success for a download of this connection.  How can I get it so I can use my wireless to my router.  I have a Linksys WPC54G and use a Dell Inspiron 8600.  XP Service Pack 3 is installed.

If you did a clean install of Windows (as opposed to 'restore to factory conditions'), you must reinstall all the drivers for your hardware.  Windows XP includes some basic drivers, that's why you are able to start Windows, but you need the drivers for your specific hardware.

Go to http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19?c=us&l=en&s=dhs and enter your Dell Service's number.

You need access to a page similar to THIS PAGE , but reduced to account for the equipment in your particular computer.  See these help pages:

  • Wireless connection to the network home

    I recently bought a Tecra8200 with free Wi - Fi. I have a XPprof Windows installed on it. When trying to connect to my home network with wireless lan functionality, I am not able to connect to my router Sitecom WL-025. (cables) In exceptional cases, the system does not recognize the wireless network. In two cases only have been recognized my Sitecom and the Belkin to my neighbor. I've only had the SSID for routers. No connection. What settings should I enter to make this thing work with the version of wireless network card?

    Hello

    You can check the router if a MAC address verifivcation is enabled? You have any other PC with wireless connection to the router and look in these wireless settings?

  • Satelite C50 - B cannot connect to wireless local area network

    My brand new straight out of the box Satelite C50 - B cannot connect to my wireless network, when you are running Windows 8.1.

    When you run the wizard for the first time user, it was unable to connect to my network to register. And I have been unable to connect after starting the OS, even if my thread was visible and the signal strength would be strong. I entered the security network key, but the message came back "unable to connect to this network.

    However, when I started on a USB key to run Linux Mint 17.1, it took less than 5 seconds to connect to my wireless network. If the Toshiba hardware work properly, as also my wireless LAN.

    If I plug in a network cable, same Windows connects to my network and Internet.

    However, given that the C50 - B satellite comes with Windows 8.1 both of wireless capabilities, I was hoping someone here might be able to help me get a wireless connection in Windows.

    It's really strange. I have S50 - B and WLAN works properly. I used my laptop connected to several different networks and everything was OK.
    You can try to test with different wireless LANs?
    Have you checked all the WLAN settings?
    Try restarting your router.

    I mean if your laptop can detect WLAN, this means that the hardware is enabled and working properly. There must be a problem with the WLAN settings.

    Also check the advanced power settings, and then set it to maximum power WLAN.

  • Can someone else make my wireless connection network "secure"?

    Since the purchase of my laptop, I used a wireless internet network, the connection has always said he was an 'unsecured wireless network'. Last week he was playing so I went in the list of available networks and noticed she had changed to a "secure wireless network', I had never done that because I didn't know how to do it!

    It is possible that someone else has done? I called my service provider that I couldn't connect to internet at all and they were speaking to me in how to connect the ethernet cable to the computer and the modem. I don't know how to get my wireless connection, sorted, someone else had this problem or knows what to do?

    Thank you.

    First of all I must say that it s irresponsible to use the unsecured WiFi network!
    If the wireless network is not secure, everyone can get connected to the internet via your private internet access.

    Generally, each WLan router configuration mask is secure and you need a password to change the settings of the Wlan router.
    I put t know why you do not guarantee you Wlan because each Wlan router comes with the manual and configuration steps are described in all just way.

    If you n t know how to secure the Wlan router, ask a professional technician or first check the manual of the router.

  • Wireless connections do not appear in the network connections

    Running XP Home Edition with Service Pack 3.  Setup new rounter wireless.  Went to the Panel of control/NetworkConnections.  The LAN network icon is there, but no icon of wireless networks.  Is on a MacBook Pro running XP in Parallels and there is no problem on Mac OS wireless connectivity, then of course, the material is very well and comes with XP.  I ran all the shooters of boredom and configuration wizards, still called dLink support (router manufacturer), and the technology had no idea what to do when the wireless icon is simply not in network connections.  Any help would be much appreciated.

  • Installed wireless Belkin, unable to see network, get error windows cannot configure this wireless connection and starting the WZC abuse

    Hello

    I have a belkin wireless router that worked on my primary computer and a portable computer for years.

    Recently, I moved my main computer and now it dosnt seem to work. Belkin is installed but when I ask to see available networks, it says that windows cannot configure this wireless connection and starting the WZC abuse. Belkin still works fine on my laptop so I know no there is not a problem here. Can someone help me please? I tried to type in %SystemRoot%\system32\services.mcs\s as with a question of people, but all I get is windows can't find this.

    Any ideas please?

    Thank you

    * original title - Help... problem with belkin wireless *.

    Let's see if I can cut through it.

    You wrote:

    Click the Wireless Networks (see this picture) - I did

    Is the box 'Use Windows to configure my wireless network' checked or unchecked? There is no such box.

    I connect using - he says belkin. another box saying this connection uses the following items. then underneath there are 3 tabs - install, uninstall and properties. If I press on properties it says name provider and in this box, it says windows index.

    It seems that you don't have not clicked the "Wireless networks" tab, after you open the properties of your wireless adapter.  From your description, you look at the 'Général' tab: click HERE to see the "Général" tab Click HERE to see the 'Wireless Networks' tab.

    There are 5 columns: name, description, status, startup type and log as.  The values for the last 3 columns should be started, automatic and Local System - on my screen there are 4 tabs at the top - general, connect you, recovery and dependency.

    You skipped a step... 5 columns are in the 'Services' window initial... you arrive at "4 tabs at the top", AFTER you double-click the Wireless Auto Configuration.

    Status of the service which includes 4 boxes. stop suspend and resume. the button highlighted in the start menu

    Just to the right of the expression "Service status", you should see a Word.  On your system, this word probably is "stopped."  The 4 buttons (boxes) are how to control the service.  Because you said that the highlighted button is 'start' which means that the service is currently stopped, and you will need to click on this button "start" to start.

    I strongly suspect that you had used the Belkin utility to control your adapter - and now, you also started WZC.  As I wrote above, you can have both running at the same time.

    When you click the icon of your "Belkin", do you have a screen that looks like this: http://www.wi-fiplanet.com/img/2006/belkinn1/08.jpg

    If so, you should return to the utility Services and 'Stop' the automatic configuration service.  If you want to use WZC instead of the Belkin utility, see http://en-us-support.belkin.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/40/related/1

    I'm not familiar with the Belkin Wireless networking utility, but many wifi manufacturer utilities can be used to turn your wifi on and off, then maybe your was off (the adapter on your computer - not the router).  If you identify the model of the card you have in your main computer, I'll see if I can find the manual on the Belkin website and maybe give you a little more information.

    Old laptops use to come with very little memory.  Since then, software exceed the amount of memory installed

    Check the amount of memory you have and see if you can upgrade.

    You can find and expanded manual on Dell' support for the laptop.

    Regarding the wireless.

    It is possible that the wireless card is not operational and need to reinstall drivers.

    Maybe this can help.

    Check the Device Manager for the wireless card valid entry.

    If there is no valid entry, remove any entry from fake and re - install the drivers for the wireless card.

    Make sure that if there is Wireless Utility a utility vendor is not running with the native Windows wireless utility.

    Make sure you firewall No. preventing / blocks wireless components to join the network.

  • Wireless cause: the network connection from the laptop to the router, but internet access comes and goes through procedures to 'fix '.

    The Dell laptop I bought is little used, not refurbished a downsizing Corporation.  I bought a refurbished by Cisco, Cisco Linksys router.  I can't stay on the internet for any period of time.  At the time that I open the browser, after the wireless connection, it goes your 'connected' to 'no internet access.  If I go through the diagnosis and fix it, it says I'm connected, but 'no Internet' returns quickly.  It shows a diagram of the connectivity of the laptop to the router but not to the internet router.  I had a second router refurb sent, and it does the same thing.

    This is all new to me (wireless and mobile), so my words my being turned off, but I wonder if it might be the wireless card, or network card (or is it just a different name for the router).  I mean, it's something in the laptop.  If I plug the DSL directly into the laptop, I have a perfect internet connection, so I did not thing is my provider.

    Any help/suggestions appreciated!

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer

    Hello

    This means that the computer cannot connect to the router.

    Try this process.

    Check the Device Manager for the wireless card valid entry.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_dm.jpg

    If there is no valid entry, remove any entry from fake and re - install the drivers for the wireless card.

    Description is the data of the card making.

    The physical address is MAC of the card number.

    The xx must be a number between 0 and 255 (all xx even number).

    YY should be between 0 and 255

    ZZ should be between 0 and 255 (zz all the same number.)

    The date of the lease must be valid at the present time.

    * Note 2. There could be an IPv6 entries too. However, they are not functional for Internet or LAN traffic. They are necessary for Win 7 homegroup special configuration.

    ---------------------------------------------------

    Above everything is OK, you must be able to connect to the router.  A window that says connected does not mean that you are really connected. Connection to the router means that you can enter the IP of the router base in an address bar in one go, being able to connect and configure the router menus see. If it is not connected in the log to router from any computer that can connect to the router wirelessly with a wire, disable wireless security, (make sure that the wireless SSID broadcast) is on and try to connect with no. wireless security.

    --------------------------------------------------

    I really checked and configured every thing and it doesn't work.

    Software firewall application that is not configured to allow local traffic (between the computer and the router is also a possible problem.
    some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

  • Laptop connected to 2 ISP networks (Ethernet + wireless) - Wireless Connection shows a "yellow Triangle" - no Internet access

    I am facing a network unusual problem with the following network configuration

    2. same laptop connected to ISP2 network Wi - Fi - 10.1.1.x (router does NAT and DHCP)
    3 WiFi connection shows a "yellow Triangle" - no Internet access

    Note:

    1. neither the connections require Sign-In to access the Internet
    2 Ethernet is defined on top to control configuration\reseau and Internet\Network Connections\Advanced Settings\Adapters and links
    3 operating system: Windows 7 64-bit SP1
    4. the Wi - Fi network has access to the Internet as other wireless clients can connect to the Internet using the same.
    5. here is the weird part - if I disable the Ethernet adapter on this laptop, the "yellow Triangle" - no Internet access on the wireless connection disappears and he now reports "Internet access".

    6. If I now activate the Ethernet back, connection Wi - Fi card always displays "Internet access"
    7. If I reboot, the problem returns - new shows a "yellow Triangle" wireless connection - no Internet access

    6. the question is not specific to this machine that the same issue is reproducible on another computer with 64-bit Windows 8 installed.

    This is expected behavior that has an explanation?
