Dell Mini - Laptops Cannot Connect Although Others On Network Can
Dec 1, 2012
My wife has a little Dell Mini running Windows 7 Starter. It connects to the network but gets a message that it cannot connect to the internet. Other laptops on the network CAN connect. This issue is new, the laptop has been fine up until a few days ago.
Per a separate thread, I went to the command prompt to try to run the ipconfig all but it comes up as user/owner and I don't know how to get to admin mode. Also, the proxy option is unchecked.

I am having problems connecting to the internet. I've tried changing my security from WPA to WEP and back again. I've searched these forums for a solution and nothing has worked. I've changed my antenna output to Aux from Auto as one thread suggested, but no luck.
For a time, I could connect to my wireless BT Home Hub 2, but the range was pathetic (about 4 metres). I've tried connecting to my partners home wireless connection, and again, same problem. Now the connection is virtually nothing. If I am lucky enough to get a connection then it will be poor and usually fail within 2 minutes.
I've had my Dell Inspiron Mini 10v for nearly 3 months now. I wish I was brave enough to return it when I had the chance.People have commented that this could be a known issue. I don't know what the problem is. I've spoken to IT bods my office and nobody seems to know.

I replaced the internal hard drive on my Inspirion mini 1018. I installed the Windows 7 operating system and all the drivers. Yet I cannot access the internet, even with my DSL plugged in. I do not use wireless and do not wish to.

I have a Dell Insipron Mini 1011 and recently I haven't been able to connect to the internet. The network connection says it's connect to linksys, but it sends out more packets than it receives. What can I do to get it to receive more packets? Could it be my area that's causing it not to connect?

I have a Dell Inspiron Mini 10 Netbook, when I'm trying to connect to a wireless network I get the message 'Acquring Network Address'. I can connect fine using a wired connection, but using the Wirless 1397 WLAN Mini card it won't connect.
I tried to log a call with Dell as the machine is only 2 months old and someone remotely connected and said it was a software fault not hardware and they would charge me to resolve the issue. I found that hard to swallow so thought I would try here.

The first is I have a laptop running XP with a Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini-Card built in to it. But for some reason when I'm using that wireless connector my computer won't connect to my router and give me a 192.168.0.x address, it gives me a regular IP address. I can surf the net and everything but I can't access files on other computers. But from it it'll allow me to connect to the router admin fine.Whenever I put the mac address in to my DHCP setting on my router it comes up * RESERVED INACTIVE * and never gives my laptop a local ip address.The other problem is on my 192.168.0.2 computer I've tried to set up port forwarding but it won't open the ports. My router is a Motorola SBG6580 provided by my cable company. This particular computer is connected by Ethernet and not Wifi if that makes a difference.

I got a Studio 1535 Laptop which comes with a Broadcom WiFi card that is named "Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN Mini-Card" in the Hardware Manager.
I tried to connect to my ZyXel WiFi router but though i had it all configured right, Windows would always come up with "you entered the wrong key". After playin around for some time i figured out that everything just works fine when i switched my router from WPA-PSK to WPA2-PSK. My router features both WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK but since my other PC does only support WPA-PSK the router is set to that and i want it to stay that way. I just don't want to buy new hardware for all my other computers.
So is this WiFi card strictly incompatible with WPA-PSK? Does'nt make any sense to me because WPA2 works just fine! Normally they are downwards compatible aren't they? (Moreover, when setting up a connection i can choose WPA-PSK from the dropdown menu.

I have new Inspiron 1720 running Vista with the Dell wireless 1390 WLAN mini-card. I will be connected to the wireless network just fine, but it will then disconnect. My problem is I cannot re-connect to it without having to do a total restart. I go to the place to refresh the list, and it finds nothing. I ask it to repair the network, and it can't becasue it cannot find a network. I have at least 4 other networks in the area that I can normally see, and none appear when I hit the refresh button. But I totally restart the system, and everything works fine again (until it drops again).

I've bought a second hand Dell Mini 910 and when I tried to get online it kept saying to change the settings on Wireless Zero Configuration (WZC). I goggled it and checked the box in Network Connections. It allow Windows to configure my wireless network connections and I run Wireless Zero Configuration and selected Automatic. It will now pick up connections and allows me to connect but when I go into Internet Explorer still no joy so I've gone into Internet Options and LAN settings and clicked to Automatically detect settings but still no joy, I also have to do the above each blooming time I restart the net book. I've tried IE and Google Chrome and I've run diagnostics and they said to check with XP help etc.
1. Complete Internet Repair tool.
2. Fan bar.
3. Mini Toolbox.
4. Uploaded a folder from forum and dragged to system32 folder/
5. Searched for hidden file Ancillary Function Driver for Winsock to delete it but it wasn't there.
6. Entered a CMD prompt I was advised to do.
7. Set up a new user account and deleted the other user account and contents.
8. Downloaded and Run Winsock XP Fix
9. Downloaded Unknown Device Identifier
10. Re run Fan bar

Ive just bought a Dell 660s mini tower (Windows 7), but Im getting a low Wifi signal compared to my laptop. The wifi bar varies between 3 and 1, whereas on my laptop it is consistently 5, and Logmein keeps dropping out when I connect to the 660s. The wifi card is a Dell 1506. I have installed the latest drivers. I have tried changing the channel on the router but it didnt make a difference.

I recently had to reinstall an OS on my Dell Mini v10 and the little sticker that gave me the product key for me CD has eroded away (comp is about 3 yrs old). So I decided to by Vista ultimate on it, which installed fine and seems to work great but I can't seem to install or find a driver for my network controller. I am pretty sure it is a Broadcom Corp BCM4310 USB Controller, but when I go into my control panel it doesnt seem to recognize it.And for some reason I can't locate the driver on Dell's website.

I have recently re-installed Windows XP on Dell Inspiron 2200 and notice that I no longer have the icon to view or repair wireless connections. I have installed drivers R91081.EXE (8MB), R92088.EXE (1MB) and INFEENUA.cab (195KB) from Dell web site – Drivers download page but can’t see to be able to bring up the icon.
Which driver(s) I need to download?
I have owned this laptop since 2005. It has been excellent so far and I would very much like to keep using it until it finally gives up.

the computer was using a different program to manage the wireless connection. Even though it said it was connected, my internet didn't work. Not knowing anything about this new program, I removed it and tried to connect with the Windows wireless manager. It didn't acknowledge any of the wireless connections around, just a computer-to-computer connection. I took it to a friend's apartment to use their computer and internet to search for options and it still didn't recognize any networks around, now not even the computer-to-computer connection. It now tells me "No wireless networks were found in range. Make sure the wireless switch on your computer is on...." The Mini doesn't have a "switch," but I read where F2 can turn it on...however, pressing Fn-F2 is not working for me, either.

Where I can download the drivers?
