T60, XPPro and the disappearance of network connections

I have a client with a T60 (2623-D7U). I got it in a month with no network connection in Device Manager or in the Panel. Both wireless (WWAN and 802) did not work or could be found and cable is not connected. After having worked several frustrating days of research I reinstalled XPPro (factory reinstall) and wired. I dropped a wireless card and the client was happy.

Now I have it back.

Yet once he was missing two connections. This time, I rebooted and did some jiggery pokery and managed to get the map Wi - Fi and back visible and connected, but still no WWAN.

My question is, this is a topic? I suspect that the WWAN hardware is originally from Wi-wired and repeated problems. Someone at - it firm clues beyond what I have already done?

Thanks Andy, XP Pro has been mentioned in the post a couple of times, but I had tried all the MS corrects the previous (a month ago) occasion before the clean install.

It is early in the morning, when I posted, I thought I might try a hardware solution so lifted the T60 keyboard (4 to 6 screws on the back) and found the two wireless devices arising therefrom. I prick and pushed, but has not removed the. Reassembly and restart, the EVDO device reappeared after an absence of more than a month. The wireless, 802, however, is still AWOL. Then I guess is to unscrew the 2 screws on each wireless device (they look identical) and remove/relocate to own PCB connections.

Sounds of?

Without worrying about progress and this message can help others.

  • Helps the open WIFI network connection

    Hello

    I have a new dash of Sony that I connect to my wifi to work. The network itself is open, however once your device is connected to WIFI, once you open a browser window on your computer/Tablet/phone is where it asks you your work credentials (name of user/pass). Once you submit you can go anywhere. I've seen this at other places with band wifi open, but you must accept the terms and conditions of the first time you open a browser window. Does anyone know how after you connect to the wifi network I would be able to enter my credentials on the dashboard? Since it is not exactly a web browser I know.

    Thank you!

    How to troubleshoot missing network connections icons in Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/825826

  • Wireless networks icon disappeared in network connections

    I ran a software malware recommended by my administrator (Verizon) internet agent after a long period of trouble connecting to the wireless router. After telling it to remove the files mentioned, I'll be back to see the wireless icon is missing under network connections in the Control Panel.No idea what happened to her. Now, I can not access the router somehow. What can I return this icon of wireless networks. ?

    I do not think that you do not forget the files that you have deleted or 'malware software' you used?

    I would like to start by uninstalling and reinstalling your wireless adapter.

    If you have an external wifi adapter, go to the manufacturer Web site and download the latest driver for it.

    If you have an internal wifi adaptor (probably in laptops), go to the computer manufacturer's website and download the latest driver for your wireless card.  Most computer manufacturers provide a link for the correct driver after you identify the specific model of your computer (in the case of Dell, use the "Service Tag").

    Save the driver a place that you will be able to find (on a USB flash drive if you have used another computer)

    Open the Device Manager (start > run > devmgmt.msc > OK)
    Expand the "Network adapters" category by clicking on the +.
    Right-click on the entry of your wireless adapter and choose uninstall.
    OK, go out of your way and restart.

    If the Add New Hardware Wizard does not open when Windows reboots and detects the device, go back to Device Manager, right click on the entry of the wifi adapter and select Update driver
    On the Hardware Update Wizard screen, don't let it connect to Windows Update, but select "Install from a list or specific location."
    Click 'Search for the best driver' and also 'include this location '.  Click on the "Browse" button and navigate to the folder where you saved the downloaded driver (unpacked already, if you downloaded in compressed form).  Make sure you select the subfolder WinXP (or a similar name).
    Click next and the adapter must install.

    Assuming that the above results in an icon for your adapter in network connections wireless, there is more to do.

    Right click on the network connections icon, then select Properties.

    Make sure that shows the 'General tab '.
    In the box under "this connection uses the following items", you should have 4 entries:
    Microsoft Networks client {needed}
    {Required} (TCP/IP) Internet Protocol
    Sharing files and printers for Microsoft Networks {necessary if you want to be able to share files and printers}
    {Optional, but usually present} QoS Packet Scheduler

    If these elements are not in the list, make sure, using the install and following dialogs.

    In the wireless network properties dialog boxes, click the tab 'wireless networks '.
    Make sure the box to "use Windows to configure my wireless" is checked unless you have the utility of the manufacturer do this work.
    OK your way out

    I was helping my brother set up its new Netgear Wireless USB adapter in Windows Vista and kept running into the same problem.  Once the adapter has been installed, Vista would continue to try to connect to a VirtualProfile under network connections which would interfere with the connection of the profile.  I had my brother take the VirtualProfile and then it connected correctly.  However, after each reboot, the connection of VirtualProfile appears every time and we need to start over the process.  A way to remove this VirtualProfile permanently and why what is happening?  Thanks for any input.

    1. open an elevated command prompt.

    2. to do this, click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.
     
    3. type the following command and press ENTER:

    sfc/scannow

    The sfc/scannow command. analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.
