Wireless Internet Trouble

rationalthinking · 07-09-2007, 06:15 AM

My wireless internet just stopped working.
I went to get a drink and came back to my laptop and I was unconnected.
I can not even find my network card under Network Connections.
Nothing was done to the laptop.
lol.... it just seems like it disappeared.

Any solution?

Unplug your router for 30 seconds and plug it back in and restart your laptop then it should work fine if it doesnt post back and we will try to help you.

Huh that is wierd. Did you restart your laptop? If you did I would reinstall the software for your networking on your laptop and see if that works.

have you checked the driver for the wireless card may have been installing a new one when it lost the connection and now has a screwed up driver?

and check Broadcom i looked on google and im almost certain its the manufacturer of the wireless card so they should have drivers for it if thats what it is

rationalthinking · 07-09-2007, 09:55 AM

yea... i have the drivers for it.
on HP's site you can find all the drivers.

i have downloaded and installed the current drivers for the card.

still, it doesnt show up in the Network Connections folder.

is there any program i can run to check it out?
