OK so my laptop is saying that no networks are available but I know that my network is working because my brother is connected to it right now. My network card driver is up to date so I don't understand what is going on..PS I'm connected to my router via Ethernet cable to use my internet and it is working fine.

Why windows connect in "unknown" network automatic? How to fix it?
I've had my Dell M6500 with Windows 7 for 1.5 years now. My network adapter drivers are all up to date. I've never had any issue connecting to all kinds of wireless---airports, coffee shops, home, etc. The past weekend I was out of town and connected to the wifi at a McDonald's, no problems. When I arrived back home, my wireless connections list contained nothing but a Verizon mobile broadband connection. I have never used mobile broadband. Attached is a video of what I see.
Other various related details:
-When I troubleshoot, I am told to activate my mobile broadband connection.
-I have tried doing a system restore to a point well before my visit to McDonald's. No luck.
-I am not able to return to that McDonald's and try to reconnect to their wifi to see if still works.
-I have not tried connecting to another wifi network besides the one in my house since the McDonald's visit.
-I am still able to connect to the internet using an ethernet cable between my computer and cable modem.
-I am still able to connect to the wireless router using mobile devices and other laptops.
I believe this is a driver problem but couldn't find a solution to this problem.
First of all I had some problems installing windows 7 because it didn't recognize my harddrive being a drive to put win 7 on. but i fixed that by installing xp and then intalling win 7 over the top. and then again reformatting and putting windows 7 on after it started recognizing my harddrive.
BUT NOW THE PROBLEM ABOUT THE TWO NETWORKS
whenever I boot now win 7 always comes up with the problem that it is connected to two different networks. in the network and shared menu it says its connected to the HOME network and to a PUBLIC network both at the same time. I only have one cat5e cable connected to the wireless linksys router. my computer has no other network connections. not wireless nor modem dial up.
it only has the one. so to fix this everytime i have to go into device manager and disable then reinable the driver for the network connection. and then all the sudden it works until i shut off the computer and then when it reboots the problem comes up again. I believe its a driver problem. but don't know how to fix it.
the driver that is enabled on my intel board dq965gf is intel 82566DM Gigabit Network Connection.
Windows 7 found it for me automatically. also i'm just running my cat5e out of the motherboard integrated network connection. NO PCI cards inserted.
I'm having a problem with my networks... i have 2 networks that i connect to, one that is wireless, and is connected to my INTERNET connection, and another that is connected to an Xbox and a file server through a router.
My problem is that whenever i connect to them both, i cannot connect to the Internet anymore, but as soon as i disconnect the router, i am able to access the internet again. My network center shows it as
*My-PC* -------- Multiple Networks-----x-----internet {when im connected to both}
and
*My-PC*---------*Wireless Network*---------Internet {when im connected to the wireless only}
I have gone through most of the posts on this forum that talk about Networks and Connectivity, Homegroups connections, and nothing addresses this problem.
I have had Homegroup established on both my desktop and on my notebook both running Windows 7 ultimate build 7100 for months. Surprisingly; few days ago, my notebook ceased to see the Homegroup and my Network and Sharing Center says that the notebook is currently not connected to any network even though the notebook is connected to the network and can use the Internet.
Homegroup and public group and unidentified group all disappeared on my notebook but working well on my desktop. I have done all the suggestions on other posts (i.e. leave Homegroup reboot, establish new one, passwords) you name it, I tried them all. The groups do not show as you can see in the attached picture. I tried IPv6, I tried the Homegroup listener in the Services. I tried about everything.
Both desktop and notebook connect to my ADSL router wifi.
Has anyone been through this problem? Greatly appreciate your input.
- Edit: I found out that the PNRP service is disabled, normal, but it will not start, when I start it I receive "Access Denied" error. Any suggestions?
- Problem Fixed: I reinstalled Windows 7.
I recently have a problem with my network connection. It shows me sometimes that i have mutliple netowrks, one of them says Unknown network.. When those 2 are togheter in my network and sharing center, my internet connection is lost. If i disable and enable my network connection the internet is working and that unknown connection is gone. Anyone can help me with this one? It is kind of annoying to do that thing everyday.
View 4 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to remove all networks from Windows 7 and start fresh? I know how to remove networks, but I can't see a way to remove only 1 network if there is only 1 left.
I'm not sure if the above will solve the issue I am having but I want to remove all my networks and "start fresh" so to speak.
I own Windows 7 x 64.
Over the 9 months, I have used 4 routers and now I am finally set on using number 4. Of course, everytime I tried a new one, Win 7 created a new Network for each one. Is there any way I can get rid of Networks 1, 2 and 4? I would like to only keep Network 3 and then rename it to something else if possible.

my connection to my work's wireless network was fine.
Last night, I installed driver software for my network card for my Ubuntu OS (dual-boot machine). Ubuntu and W7 are on separate partitions; I am not running Ubuntu inside of Windows. This morning when I came into work and booted into windows, it did not connect to the network. I have already updated the driver software through device manager (I already had the most current driver installed) and have downloaded the correct drivers from Dell's website.
I have also done a system restore to prior to last night's Ubuntu driver update. And that didn't work. At this point, I am connected via cable, but if I remove it, my wireless card will not see our wireless network. I have tried to manually create our network through the "Set up a new connection or network" with the correct SSID and security code, but that did not work either.
How could my work on the Ubuntu side have affected the performance of my network card or settings on my Windows 7 side? I can connect to a wireless network in Windows?
I am running an hp g4 notebook with windows 7 64 bit. I can connect to my home network just fine, but I am unable to connect to any public network. The networks show that the connections are available, but when I try to connect I either get a cannot connect error or connected but with no internet error. I have updated the driver for my wireless adapter (Broadcom 4313GN 802.11b/g/n 1x1 wi-fi) and tried resetting the winsock, dv4 and dv6 in ipconfig. No luck with either. The networks show as open.

Have tried both of those adapters in XP in same computer, and there they work correctly, and show plenty of networks. 2 of mine, and many more from neighbours. Phone also can connect...so networks really exist. I have installed latest drivers from manufacturers sitesif I try manually setup connect to wireless network, get error..."an unexpected error occurs"Trouble shooting wireless network gives:"There might be a problem with the driver for the wireless..."But when I try to resolve the issue:"The wireless network adapter is experiencing problems"Also updating driver "windows style" says that driver is up to date.And it does exactly the same with 2 wireless adapters......dont think I need to try 3rd. Atleast ASUS PCE-N15 shold be win7 64bit compatible

When I open up the list of networks in range and click on one of the other peoples networks the box saying "Connect automatically" is checked. But when I try to uncheck it it keeps coming up as checked again. I have also opened up network and sharing centre and opened up the list and made sure only my network is on the list.

So what I want is to hide EVERYTHING except my network if possible...
For some reason, I can't search for WIFI or networks. But I need the driver to fix these and to update.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI recently bought a TP-LINK TL-WN350GD wireless network card, inserted it into a PCI-E slot and installed the drivers, but can't seem to get it to work. It appears in Device Manager as 'Atheros AR5007G Wireless Network Adapter' and apparently 'this device is working properly', but infuriatingly it won't detect any wireless networks. I've tried using the drivers that Windows 7 installed automatically and also the drivers that came on the disk with it, but all to no avail. When I troubleshoot the card, I get the message that 'there might be a problem with the driver for the Wireless Network Connection 2 adapter', but this is all I can find. It's especially irritating as I picked the (admittedly lower-end) card because it's definitely compatible with Windows 7 (I already tried one which wasn't).My PC has Windows 7 64-bit, has an AMD Athlon 4600 dual core CPU and 2 gigs of RAM.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got a problem with Windows 7 Ultimate RTM and wireless LAN on my Lenovo 3000 N200 Notebook with Intel 3945abg wireless chip.I can't connect to wpa-psk encrypted networks although I installed the newest driver from Intel and tried an older version, too. The network adapter is installed correct in the device manager.If i use no encryption or WEP there is no problem, but i must use WPA-PSK.The network settings on my notebook and on the access point are 100% correct, and it worked fine with Windows Vista and the same hardware.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI upgraded a Dell Optiplex machine that was running Vista to Win 7 (both 32 bit).That went swimmingly. However, when I now check my wireless networks, only one available network appears.there are 8-10 networks that show on two other machines in the same room as this machine. One is a laptop that I place right next to the Vista to 7 machine that is causing me the problem.It is possible that during the upgrade the Vista machine was connected via the one network that still shows. I don't know that for certain, or if it is even pertinent. However, that network is not properly secured. One of the other (i.e., missing) networks is the one this machine needs to connect to for security reasons. (We're in an office suite and the network that shows up is a master; one about which we have no say regarding its security.) That's why I have to make the other networks reappear.
I've looked at a bunch of other posts but don't see anything that seems to help with this issue. I don't know where to even start (other than I have rebooted; twice). I am suspicious of the Windows firewall but all other programs seem to work - except printing (I guess because that printer is wirelessly connected on that missing network).Anyone got an idea of where I should start or what I need to do to get this back to normal?
I have Windows 7 and I'm trying to connect to a wireless n router. When I look at it under available networks it says "Security Type: WEP" but my router is set for WPA. I can access it as WPA on my late 2008 macbook pro, but no matter what I do (disabling the wireless n adapter, restarting the computer, etc.) I can't get it to recognize my network as WPA and thus any password I enter is marked as incorrect.

Went to the city library today - laptop wouldn't connect to any unsecured network. The library does not offer wifi, but you can detect 4-5 several unsecured networks nearby. I wasn't able to connect to any of them. One of them said "Public" - not sure who it belonged to - but the icon beside it was not the typical signal bars. Couldn't tell what it was - looked like maybe a LAN connection, three entities connected to each other. Haven't seen that in the network list before. I could connect to that one, but after a minute or so the connection was dropped.
I've never had a problem connecting to unsecured networks. In fact, I packed up from the dud library and went up the road to a neighboring town library and connected to their unsecured network just fine.
Any ideas why this happens?
Example; Let's say my SSID is ABCD. If something happens and I have to re enter my password for some reason, it will show up as ABCD2. How do you delete your old SSID's?
