Hi
Have an HPNC 6000 laptop. Wont connec to wireless networks. I can SEE THEM when I click on VIEW...and when I click on REPAIR the box times out and it says- can not connect to wireless network.
So if I can see them- it cant be the wireless card..right?

I tried assigning manaully and that did not work.
The little 'CONNECT" button just grays out after entering the code... and then when you click REPAIR
the dialog box goes thru enable/disable/ then says connecting to wireless network for about a minute then sayus
wndows can not repair the problem because the following action could not be completed.. can not connect to wireless network
now I did try going thru the network wizard.. and it says
: The wizard found disconnected network hardware:
and it lists my Wireless connection HP WLAN

have you tried connecting to any other wireless network? its most likely the setting on your wireless adapter. have you downloaded any microsoft updates recently to do with your wireless adapter?

tried another wireless network= tried 2 - neither connect
I did do updates- however they were today- thinking that maybe that was the orginal issue as to WHY i lost connection
It used to work- now has stopped... in 2 locations

I would definately upgrade the NIC driver first and foremost....
There are 3 main .dll's for the Wireless service....
wzcdlg.dll
wzcsapi.dll
wzcsvc.dll
Make sure they are present, in c:\Windows\system32
Fors each one of them....
start>run>cmd
regsvr32 <.dllname>
Additionally, you can reinstall it by going to c:\windows\inf, and highlighting wzcsvc.inf, and rt clcking>Install.
