WiFi connectivity issue

[Inteli7]

On my home ISP i seem to have an issue connecting,

It says connected, But is not showing in the connection bit above the bit that shows the wireless networks. I am running Windows 7 (just incase you are wondering what i am talking about)

Does your router/modem have a firewall running on it? If so, then the Windows Firewall may be interfering. In that case, you will have to turn one of the firewalls off.

No. Every other computer in the network connects fine.

Does your computer know that it is a trusted network (home/office as opposed to public)?

 

[Inteli7]

Yes. Its a home network

 

[tech savvy]

Yes. Its a home network

reset the modem/router. look for a off/on switch or a reset button on the back.

Tried that, Tried playing with the wireless switch on that laptop.

Yes. Its a home network

Does Windows say you are connected to a private network or a public one?

 

[Inteli7]

it doesnt say, thats the problem.

allow me to illustrate...I am at college...

should look like:

problem is that the (work network) bit, is not showing.

it says connected, but isnt.

Go into the network and sharing center and click on the left hand side where it says "manage wireless connections" Remove the existing wireless profile for the one you are having issues connecting to and reset up the connection. Sometimes the wireless profile just gets corrupt and you have to reset it up.

Thank you.

Did it work?

I deleted the profile on this computer, as its connecting fine to the WAP at college... And will be trying when i get home.
