Wireless Network not in rangeI have 2 laptops both with built in wireless. One works fine but the other
does not pick up any wireless networks in range even though both computers are right next to the router. It is a linksys wireless-g router. Any help would be appreciated. Hi
In General, you can debug the Network Settings of a computer by following these steps. Step One. Check the Network parameters in the Computer's Device Manager. Make sure that the Network Card drivers are installed correctly; i.e. there is No IRQ conflict, and No Ghost installation. http://www.ezlan.net/faq#ghost Step Two. Verify Basic network setting in the OS: http://www.ezlan.net/Installing#verify. If the above two Steps indicates that every thing looks good but functionally it does not work. Step Three. Check (and repair if necessary) the Socket Layers, Winsock, and or refresh the TCP/IP Stack. http://www.ezlan.net/clean#refreshnet Jack (MVP-Networking).

I tried what you suggested and am still not picking up the wireless network. Here is what is shows. No wireless networks were found in range As I stated before my other laptop picks up the network with no problems. Thanks.

hardware problem. You need to be able to see the network to have a chance of connecting. Is the card turn on? Do you have the drivers for the card.so that you can reinstall them? In device manager, is there any error codes for the card?
