No wireless networks not found on laptop - the WiFi windows service does not work on this computer

Hello

I have a laptop model Toshiba P205-56347 running Vista home premium and a lynksis WRT54G V8 router model.  The WLAN light is solid and the internet light flashes on the Linksys.  I have Comcast cable as my ISP.

I've seen reported similar problems.  All of a sudden my wirless acess stopped working, some networks are displayed and I get the message 'windows wireless service does not work on the computer.  I am not able to restart the windows wireless.  I can't connect to the internet on the laptop.  I have a DELL PC and can access the internet here if necessary.

In the network and Discovery Center, I see that network discovery is disabled.  I can't set it to on.

Under system devices, I have the following network cards: Intel (r) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN and Realtek RTL8101 Family PCI - E Fast Ethernet NIC (NDIS6.0).

Help, please.  I'd appreciate any help.  I need a good starting point for resolution and wouldn't start using suggestions that corrects other issues.  I design financial systems and purchase online, but I'm not a technical person with regard to updates Vista, drivers, etc..

Thank you! After reviewing the responses to similar problems, can anyone suggest if I should try one of the following values: 1. run SCF/scannow at the command prompt I don't know what that's going to fix it and do not want to make the current problem worse. 2. download the driver for the network drivers. If you would be grateful if someone could help me find the driver and download it. 3 reinstall Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 since the restoration of Toshiba CD I would appreciate greatly any information. Donna

Hi blondswede,

You can try running sfc/scannow to see if you have corrupted files. That won't be a further problem on your pc. After that, you want to make sure you have the latest drivers for your laptop, especially drivers of the NIC (network card). Go to the following link to Toshiba for your model and download those:

If you're still having problems, and it has recently emerged as a problem, you can try to restore your system to a point in time before the problem started to use the system restore. Here are the steps to follow:

    1. Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
    2. In the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next.
    3. In the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.
    4. Click Finish.

    The System Restore tool

    If the problem you are experiencing started occurring recently, you can use the System Restore tool. Using this tool, you can restore the computer to an earlier point in time. The tool using System Restore may not necessarily help you determine the problem. When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

    To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:

    The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.

  • Satellite A100 - wireless/network not working not

    Hi all I'm new here and even though I think I know a little about PC I seem to forget that I have learned.

    I have a lappy Satellite A100, which was connected to a home network wireless and worked very well. After travel further using another wireless USB device, I would return home put on wireless and connection obtained immediately.

    On a recent trip to Bali, I discovered that there are free hot spots wireless everywhere, however I had problems with the connection on trying to connect and could hang, past my expertise so went to a guy who has tinkered with Lappy I wss then you connect wherever I went, great, until the return to the House.

    Put on wireless and cannot connect, I tried everything and had to resort to a cable connection.

    I noticed when you use Toshiba cordless tool it is to see the connection to the router, but stops to Lappy with!

    It has been considered a clean install, but this seems drastic.

    * Help please *.

    Using XP or Vista?

    Try this:

    (1) what a reception/interference problem? Try moving the laptop or a Wifi access Point

    (2) download and install the latest wireless drivers from the Web from Toshiba site

    (3) try to disable the Windows Firewall or your 3rd party firewall

    (4) use static IP addresses, instead of using the DHCP (dynamic IP address)

    (5) update the Firmware of your Wifi access Point. (download from the manufacturer's website)

  • 'Detected wireless networks' followed by 'no wireless networks were found in range ".

    Trying to help a friend with their laptop!  It's a Lenovo R61i laptop model A 8932, 54, around the age of 16 months.  WIN/XP SP3 is the only OS.  He was working on this wireless network until they are gone on vacation and tried to connect to public wireless networks! Their daughter portable computer continues to operate properly with this wireless network, and it also shows the neighborhood wireless networks as well.  The R61i has a built-in 'Pro\wireless Intel 3945ABG Network ' wireless wireless adapter.

    Connectivity and internet access works very well through the ethernet port.

    Here's what I've done so far:

    He has Norton AV.  I made sure that it was up to date and then ran a full system scan.  It was clean.

    Any help will be appreciated, and I WILL ANSWER about the results!

    Windows Update ran (after I got it work - see below) for all critical updates.

    Fact a "repair" on the wireless connection with these results:

    • Wireless networks detected
    • No wireless networks were found in range
    • Windows could not finish repairing the problem because it is impossible to perform the following action: connect to the wireless network

    That when the laptop is 5 feet of the wireless router.  It is a Dlink
    Updated the driver from Lenovo web site by the support of the Intel boards:

    • former pilot was 11.1.1.11
    • new driver is 12.4.0.21 with a date of 04/03/2009

    Went into the BIOS and reset the BIOS to its original, saved and reloaded settings.

    Checked the Device Manager.  Everything looks OK, no yellow or red devices

    Remove the network card and let Windows re - create.

    Disabled and enabled the network card

    Check the event logs.  The only entrance is on the system log.  I don't know if this event log entry is significant or not, but it's here:

    Source: NETw5x32, zero category, event 7036.
    The service entered the \DEVICE\{78E5EBB6-A194-4E9F-A840-E05CC39A5823} State.

    0028: 57 44 52 56 00 00 00 e7

    I have not yet tried it raise in "Safe Mode with networking".

    I would add that "Windows Update" was also not working. Graduation: A few updates have not been installed.  Error code 0 x 41. I had going in downloading and installing the latest version of Windows Installer 3.1, version 3.1.4001.5512

    Do not think that there is a relationship between these two issues, but stranger things have happened.

    The laptop has a 3-year extended warranty and I'm about to throw it in the face of Lenovo as a hardware error.  The thing that blows my mind is 'Detected wireless networks' followed by 'no wireless networks were found in range ".

    Hi Shawn

    Thank you for your help.  Here is the final solution to this problem.

    The "clean boot" you suggested worked as described, but it had no effect of awareness of wireless networks.  Ditto to start in "Safe Mode with network.  We took the laptop to Office Depot; They basically ran the same tests that I did, with the same results.  Their technology has managed to get it to connect to Wireless store by manually setting, but it would not show under 'view available networks '.  He suggested that we call their 800 support number.  The only novelty with that phone support guy came was to "Ping 127.0.0.1" which I don't think inherent in the wireless somehow.  He wanted me to call Comcast to check the internet connection.  Under the principle of "do not create a new problem while you're working on a problem", I resisted to go here as two other computers work fine on this connection from Comcast.

    We finally opted for a full charge of Windows.  This included a blue key on the laptop at boot to bring up "Rescue and recovery", then by specifying 'Restore my hard drive to the original factory condition' and "don't save all files" - we have previously saved the contents of "My Documents" on a USB key.  This charge really don't take as much time as I thought he might; only about an hour.  Most importantly - WIRELESS NETWORKS APPEAR NOW; and connect as it should!  We had to apply SP3 as reloading he brought back to SP2 status.

    I guess the lesson here is that sometimes he just reload Windows is the shortest possible solution to some of these mysterious problems.

    I had a hard time to convince me it was a hardware problem, when the system detects wireless networks but are simply not them!

    Thanks again for your help.

  • Atheros AR5005G Wireless Network not lit - Satellite A85

    Hello

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A85-S1072. I am trying to set up my wireless network, but I can't turn on my radio in my Atheros AR5005G Wireless Network card. My wireless router is configured OK.
    I checked in the Device Manager tab and the Atheros wireless card is listed. However, pressing Fn + F8 does not work. Even the enable Radio option is not enabled in Atheros Client Utility.
    I use Windows XP with Service Pack 2 and I disabled the "use Windows to configure your wireless network' option too.
    Running the Atheros Client Utility shows me a message saying 'Turn on ACU Radio'
    Of course, any help is welcome.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    Is your unit preloaded with recovery media or you use your own installation of the OS. I ask this question because if you want to use the key combination FN + F8 a Toshiba designed the tool must be installed. I put t really know how he calls, but please do not forget that you have preinstalled all designed Toshiba stuff. Everything you need you can find on the Toshiba U.S. support page.

    Hello

    You should try to remove the devices that they are marked with a yellow exclamation point. Start Notepad, and then install the latest drivers from the Toshiba site.

    If the virus has destroyed an important system files that it s is no longer possible to install a driver and you need to reinstall Windows using the Toshiba recovery disc.

    Did you create the Toshiba Recovery disk? You can do this with the Toshiba recovery disc creator, which is preinstalled on your laptop. Maybe you are able to do this at the moment.
    In addition, you reinstall Windows using the recovery of HARD drive option. So go to the advanced boot menu and select Repair my computer. Some Windows files will be loaded and then you can choose the Toshiba Recovery option and follow the instructions on the screen.

    If you can t create the recovery disk, you must order a new Toshiba directly:
