Unable to connect to wireless internet after Windows Vista update on 16/09/10

Since I've updated windows I cannot access my wireless internet connection, however, I am still able to connect via the LAN port.

If I check my ipconfig it says under the "media disconnected" wireless network connection  I tried to get my IP address into my settings because they seem to have disappeared, but I can't always wireless.  I ran all Windows diagnostic tools, but all say that the internet connection is fine (due to it being connected by the LAN port).

I also tried to fix it by other solutions on this forum, that is

  • Open Set Up a Wireless Router or Access Point by clicking theStart button, clickingControl Panel, clicking network and Internet, and then clicknetwork and sharing Center. In the left pane, clickset up a connection or network, and thenset up an access point or wireless router.

The result of the message is ' Windows has detected network hardware, but it cannot automatically configure "and when I try to manually configure the server requires a user name and password which I don't have.

Please could shed you some light on this case for me?

Thank you very much

Hello

I tried everything above without result.  However, I managed to reinstall my wireless router software after having repaired my DVD driver software.  I restarted my computer and Wireless does not work.  Reinstalled the software new and restarted the computer, and then after a short period of time the computer connected to wireless internet!  Not know not why the remedy has been delayed or why it did not work after the first attempt, but it connects wireless now - what I know is that this problem occurred after an update of Windows, it's a shame that Microsoft failed to address this problem as it was their update it as many other people have also claimed.

A big thank you to everyone who offered advice.

    Hi, please my dell Inspiron gives me a serious problem to connect to any wireless router, I can only use moderm to brose, I can't connect to any wireless network, this happened to me after that I have format the system but all other things work.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Community forum.

    As you mentioned after formatting the system, you cannot connect to a wireless router, I recommend updating the firmware on your router and updates your wireless network adapter drivers, as there might be a chance that the wireless drivers are deleted.

    The majority of connection inside Windows 7 problems have been resolved by installing the latest driver for the wireless card with obtained from the manufacturer. Download and install the Windows 7 compatible drivers and check whether the problem is resolved.

    You can refer to the link provided below to update the drivers from the manufacturer's website.

    DELL drivers.

    If the problem persists, I suggest you try the below mentioned methods and see if it helps you to solve the problem.

    Method 1:

    First of all, I suggest you run Windows built-in network troubleshooting to get the problem automatically detected and corrected.

    See the article below to run the network troubleshooter utility.

    Using the troubleshooter from network in Windows 7.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/using-the-network-troubleshooter-in-Windows-7#section_2


    Method 2:

    This problem can also be bound to the adapter, reset, update driver, disabling, re-activating, uninstall and reinstall network adapter can help.

    Follow the steps in the following article to troubleshoot network adapter.

    It seems that your settings are not correct for the access provider or router (or both).  I suggest that you contact your ISP and have them walk you step by step in the process of installation and configuration and do not let them off the coast of the Nigerian line you have a good connection, as you wish.  They know that the parameters so that we don't have, so they can help you better than we can, and I'm sure they will be happy to do.

    I am not very tech-savvy then let me explain.

    I have a laptop Lenovo I recently bought in August 2014.  A friend suggested that I have download the free application "Open Office" in line, so I could open a school power point.  Open Office gave me a handful of viruses, which I managed to delete, then having served the system well, panic I accidentally opened the Task Manager and deleted a bunch of processes that are running.

    Original title: I accidentally turned off the program that allows my computer to connect to the Internet

    Hi Tunasushiroll,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing and will certainly help you in the right direction to solve the problem.

    The problem can occur for various reasons, including incorrect TCP/IP settings configured, firewalls third of anti-virus programs blocking the connection, or due to bad the advanced sharing settings. So, I would suggest trying the following methods and check if you system is able to detect the wireless network.

    Method 1:

    Run the troubleshooter network first, and then test your Internet connection.

    Open the Network Troubleshooter by hitting on any fly in the Dashboard screen, quilting Search(or if you use a mouse, pointing to the top right of the screen, move the mouse down and then clicking search), entering the network troubleshooterin the search box, type, or by clicking settingsand then by typing or clicking on identify and fix network problems.

    If the problem persists, try the following method.

    Method 2:

    Second of all, please check if the WLAN service is started and set to automatic. If it is stopped, then I suggest you to start the service and set it to automatic.

    1. Press the Windows key + R, type services.msc in the Run dialog box and press ENTER.
    2. Select the Autoconfiguration WLAN service in the list and double-click it.
    3. Change the startup to Automatic type, then click Start to start the service.
    4. Click apply and then click OK.
    5. Restart the computer and verify if the network is detected. If this is not the case, go to method 3.

    Method 3:

    Reset the DNS and TCP/IP settings.

    1. Press the Windows key + X, click prompt (Admin).
    2. Please enter the following commands and press ENTER after each one.

      netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt
      netsh winsock reset
      ipconfig/registerdns
      ipconfig/flushdns
      ipconfig/release

    3. Restart the computer to check the issue.

    Check if the system is able to detect the network. If this is not the case, go to method 4.

    Method 4:
    Temporarily disable the security software (if any), and check if it helps.

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Hello

    Microsoft gives sometimes you updates for the 3rd party hardware: graphics, network cards, etc.

    You should only get the latest drivers for them to real hardware manufacturer's website, as Microsoft normally does nor those have the most recent drivers available as Microsoft relies of the 3rd party hardware Manufactuer to provide.

    But unfortunately, the only way to know which is the update of the problem is to install them one by one, until you find the 'wrong' for your installation.

    You can do a system restore to get back until it has been installed (which is NOT the best way to remove an update) or follow this method:
