No available wireless networks
Is the message I'm getting on my Lenovo, but my Dell has no problem connecting. Is this a virus or just my wireless hardware petered out?
Curiously, multiple attempts with system restore failed, so I'm not sure what to think.
Sure the wifi card is not turned off? Some have a physical switch on the machine that disconnects the antenna. Even though the adapter is still on it won't be able to reach an access point.
Also check in the control panel>network connections folder to make sure the wireless interface is not disabled.
PeBKAC?
It's not the manual switch, btdt. Network connections shows enabled.Originally Posted by HudsonHawk
I ran across a laptop the other week that appeared to have wifi ON, but I hit the "diagnose" button for giggles... And it pointed me to a hidden setting where wireless was off...

I would disable the wireless on the computer and then enable it. This has worked for me before.

You might also try restarting the wireless router. I've got two laptops and, with my old network, one would sometimes drop off and be unable to reconnect. More often than not, restarting the router did the trick - with no changes to the offending laptop.

And make sure it's not set to only connect to defined networks. Settings like that will drive you crazy.
Have you checked for problems in the carbon unit?

I've restarted the router, disabled and enabled wireless...What is the 1394 net adapter connection that shows connected for 2 days and counting?
That's Firewire, and although it's not commonly used for networking, it's supported in Windows. You could disable it as a network adapter, without any adverse side effects on your actual networking.
jiggle the handle
disable the lenovo wireless connection manager and use windows.
