Why Won't Laptop Connect To Network / Internet
Jan 28, 2011
My computer won't connect to my network. I goto my list of wireless networks, chose my home network and press connect. Then a prompt comes up and says " Windows is unable to connect to the selected network. The network may no longer be in range. Please refresh the list of available networks, and try yo connect again", I'm in the same room as the router so I know I'm in range. It won't let me connect to any other networks either, other than one named VirusHost. The VirusHost doesn't sound like a network I want to be connected to though! When I start my computer in Safe Mode with Networking I can connect to the Internet, so I don't know what the deal it. Also it seems this happened awhile back and a friend of mine did something in the Internet options, advanced settings to fix the problem. Not sure exactly what he did.

My roommate has a HP pavilion that she has been trying to connect to our internet, and while it seems to be connecting to the network, it wont connect to the internet.Its running Vista, and I tried all the repairs that it prompted me to try, but could not resolve the issue.I know it isn't a internet problem, because the desktop is hardwired and we have two xbox's that connect wireless with no problems.Im not sure what info I should have included in this thread, but its my first post and wasn't sure what I needed to put.

This past weekend I went out of town and took my Windows 7 laptop with me -- since I returned home, it has been unable to connect to my wireless network. Other devices in my home connect to the network just fine, and the problem laptop has always been fine until now. My network card is an Atheros AR9285, and I'm attempting to connect to a Medialink router with WPA password protection and AES encryption.My wireless network icon in the task bar has a yellow sign with an exclamation point in it. It says "No Internet access."

I have a Toshiba laptop with Vista and an HP laptop with XP...neither of which will connect to multiple connections. There's a home connection and one thru a Verizon MiFi. I thought the latest AVG update caused it so I uninstalled on HP and no change. It's neither Chrome or FireFox connecting either.

For some reason, I can't connect my laptop to the internet. When I enable wireless connection it starts but there is an "x" over the icon and it never connects. When I go to view available wireless connections the window is empty. No wireless signals even though my desktop is connected and it shows at least 10 network signals in range. I also tried connecting through my LAN and although the icon shows it is connected,

I replaced a drive and installed an older version of xp (husband request). I can't connect to internet, wireless or wired. I saw a post that solved the problem, I seem to be missing drivers (other devices all have yellow ?). But I do not know where to locate the drivers. The computer is a ibm t43 laptop about 6 years old. I can't find any disks that came with it.

I have access to a wireless network, but when I try to connect my laptop to the network it says that it can not connect. And, of course, you can't troubleshoot it without a connection...I don't know if I accidentally changed my settings somehow or what, but I'd like to get the problem solved.

My laptop won't connect to my router however the wireless network connects to everything else in the house fine. It might work for a little bit ( sometimes an hour, sometimes only a few minutes) but then it will completely refuse to connect. The wireless LAN is enabled, it even shows full signal on the laptop it just will not connect. The LAN is enable but the button for it is blinking, I don't remember it blinking before. I'm not sure if that could be the problem. As its connecting it just says " waiting for the network" and that happens for about a minute then it just disappears.

I can connect without any problems on my desktop PC and my other laptop, but it's been nothing but trouble with this one. First I go and try to connect to the network: On the laptop that I have no problems with, this usually comes up: Instead, it goes straight to this, and it doesn't even let me try to type in the password: I'm very new to wireless networks, so I couldn't possibly know what's wrong. I've tried several things, but nothing has worked up to this point.

This started this a.m. Every other computer can connect issue free. I have even removed all security and have it set as an "Open" network to see if this will resolve and still the Dell is unable to connect. If I click on connect, it attempts to then I get the Troubleshooter message. This PC is running Win 7. Let me know what further information is needed.

My laptop won't connect to the wireless internet connection in my house, even though it will connect to any other wireless network and all other phones and computer seem to connect to this network fine. It just says the connection is local only. Every once in a while it will connect for a reason I don't know, but when I try it again the next day, it won't work. However, the laptop will connect with the ethernet cable.The wireless provider, TalkTalk, have said I might need to try installing or reconfiguring Wireless 0. I googled this and followed the instructions to set the WLAN autoconfig and wired autoconfig to automatic, but that hasn't fixed it

I have a home wireless (4G) network using a Belkin router. My laptop has a Belkin USB Wireless Adapter which is correctly installed, and soon finds the network, - signal strength "excellent". However, I can't establish a connection with the message "acquiring network address" being shown.I suspect that this is because I have forgotten the correct encryption key for the secure network and have been inputting the wrong key.Is there a way of finding the correct encryption key? Or maybe I have the correct key and am doing something else that's stupid.

We just upgraded our internet, which also meant installing a new WiFi router, and mostly it's working fine. The two desktops and two of the laptops in the house all play nicely with the new router, but the third one (an old Fujitsu Siemens AMILO La1703 running Vista Basic) mostly stops responding when I try to connect to the new network. Any other network works fine. I can't actually connect to them since I don't know the keys, but it doesn't affect the laptop. When I try to connect to our new network however, the network connection dialog boxes stops responding and if I try to restart Explorer I still can't open any network related settings or menus. Most of the other stuff works.
I have tried manually configuring the network with the SSID and network key, but the result was just that I couldn't open the network settings at all, even after a reboot, since it was already trying to connect. I have also tried booting up in network enabled safe mode, same thing happens. All drivers are the latest. If I connect it to the router with a cable everything works fine.

My laptop can no longer connect to my home network. It used to connect fine, but I was having problems with my graphics card as every time I went on Youtube it would crash. As a result, I sent it into ASUS (it is an ASUS K52J Series) and got the motherboard and the hard drive replaced. After this, my laptop seemed to be working great. It connected to a variety of networks, including 3 home networks, and 2 public networks. However, it cannot connect to the network in my apartment.
I know this network works and is connectable as my roommate's laptop works perfectly fine. So I know it is not a problem with my laptop since it connects to other networks, and I know it is not the network since other laptops connect to it. I've tried resetting my adapter, I've tried turning off the firewall. Also, I've tried the trouble shooting option numerous times after trying a variety of things that usually fix the connectivity, but it always says that the problem cannot be detected.
It's starting to be really frustrating, especially since I'm in university and sharing a laptop when both my roommate and I need to do work is not convenient.

All attempts to connect meets with the same error: "unable to connect to network" (preceded by the system hanging for a lengthy amount of time). Windows advises me to unplug the router and plug it back in, which obviously isn't an option. Here are some screenshots, for whatever they might be worth: ImageShack - Online Photo and Video Hosting
I'm not running any firewall but Windows Firewall. This problem has only cropped up recently. At first, I was only having the problem with public wifi networks -- at home, using my own wireless router, there was no trouble. Then I deleted my home wireless profile as a troubleshooting procedure, and I can no longer connect to it, either.
Here are some additional specs, for whatever they might be worth:

I have a dell inspiron 15 r and it won't connect to the internet. I've tried my university's wireless internet, and my internet at home. Both connections work for other devices, so the problem is not the source. The problem is specifically my laptop. It says that it is connected, but both Chrome and IE show error pages (i.e. Site not found, dns lookup failed, etc.)

I have a netgear router and an win xp desktop connected to each other through the ISP modem. The internet works great. Xbox live connected via through the netgear router(access point), works great. Now i just recently bought a power cord for an old laptop, charged it, working fine. Its a Compaq laptop, with a vista OS. My problem is not finding the router and/or connecting to it. I just cant seem to access the internet. It shows local connection only with an unidentified network, but it shows my routers name(LOTUS). There is alittle red X in-between the unidentified network and the internet. I pulled off the ip config/all on the vista laptop.
