Title: Internet Connection Problems with Laptop
Post by: pokeplayer984 on June 21, 2008, 08:55:35 AM

I go on to set up the stuff on my laptop so LBTlover can help me wipe my desktop.  However, I soon find out that my laptop's built in Wi-Fi can't seem to find my wireless connection anymore.  Without fixing this, I'm screwed in having LBTlover help me fix my desktop any further.

So, help a friend out here, please?  It would mean alot to me.

(Geez!  I'm having a bad time right now. :()

Try this:

Control Panel
System
Hardware Management

Find your wireless card.  Disable it.  Restart computer.  Go back to that folder and enable your wireless card.  That might fix it.  No guarantees.  They're finicky...I had a huge problem for the longest time with mine.

Next time you may just want to try repairing the connection.  That'll work most of the time.  Just right click on the little network button by the clock and click repair.
