Windows wireless icon xp

No Diff. I was able to connect to the network and the internet through the wired cable, but still not through the wireless. Ubuntu showed that both my wired and wireless network connections were working. I disconnected the wired connection, and the wireless was still working. I was able to access the internet through the wireless connection in Ubuntu!!!

This means the problem is not with my hardware or BIOS!. The wireless connection is still not working, and is still not able to see any wireless networks in the area.

I have the same question Report abuse. Details required :. Cancel Submit. In reply to Randyman99's post on July 28, If you uninstall the wireless adapter altogether in device manager Click Start, click Run, type devmgmt.

If that does not work, you can also try to Repair the wireless connection. The Repair option tries a few other things, such as disabling and re-enabling the wireless card, clearing out the DNS cache of old records, and then connecting to the wireless network.

You can do a repair by going to Network Connections as shown below and right-clicking the wireless connection and choosing Repair. My image is showing Local Area Connection, but you should see Wireless Network Connection if your computer has a wireless card. A lot of times people manually change them or are told to change them by computer help desk folks on customer support calls.

To check the settings, go to Network Connections like mentioned above and then right-click on the network connection and choose Properties. There are cases where the IP address and DNS server addresses have to be manually entered, but that is rare and usually not the case in home environments.
