Browse All TopicsI have two HP 6730b laptops the have issues connecting to wireless. They will connect 70% of the time but the other 30% They seem to have the most trouble with non-broadcast wireless networks. I have to run a repair on the wireless connection or reboot to get it connected. The repair is the easiest option, but I cannot offer that as a solution to my user because of the amount of screens used to it. What I would like to do is create a .bat file that the user can click and ease the process. The wireless card is an Intel 5100 AGN.

Is doing the "repair" only renewing your ip? or is it the disabling part that makes it work?
You could renew the ip by scripting:
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
This will release and force a new IP from the DHCP server.
If you want to reset the TCP/IP Proticol:
netsh int ip reset c:\ network-connection.log
c:\network-connection.log represents the address of the file in which the reporting will be stored
The netsh int ip ...command allows you to reset the TCP/IP.
When Windows XP Service Pack 2, you can use:
netsh winsock reset catalog
Resetting the socket which manages the TCP/IP. This can be used to handle network problems (browser problem, IP address related problems, etc ...)
