Patience.... From what you have told me so far, there is nothing wrong with your laptop or wireless adapter. The computer is working and the adapter "sees" available networks (which means it's working) and shows a list of the available networks when you left-click the "network icon" on the task bar..... Right?



Each network has a "name" displayed, including yours. That was what I was talking about.

We'll get through this taking it one step at a time. :-D

Now, if you have not done so already, please click on the WiFi adapter icon and tell me what you see.

Walknman, there's a little bug in Windows 7 that turns off the "Auto connect" feature sometimes when you use the "Network Troubleshooting" feature. That may be what has happened with your two laptops.

I am having you perform these steps to make sure that we correctly identify the problem so it can be fixed.

You last said, "Okay, one laptop tested. It show that there are possible connections but I am not connected with any of them."

I assume that you see the "possible connections" because you left-clicked on the Wireless network icon.

If a list of possible connections shows up, it means that your wireless adapter IS WORKING! If it were not, it could not "see" any possible connections.

There is an "Auto Connect" setting that may have been turned off by Windows 7. That is where I think we are at now.

If you don't wish to proceed, please PM or post to me one last time.
