D610 - Intel PROSet - Wireless in Windows MODE not picking up network in range

Thank U for the info. I followed the instruction. When I "refresh network list" I get the following message in the white right box. "No wireless networks were found in range. Make sure the wireless switch on your computer is on. To see an updated list click "refresh Network list." "

The connection still exists and internet is functioning properly. The icon in task is present and the PROSet icon is white. I  just cannot see any available networks.

Thank U again ... please help further.

Hi,

Welcome to the community

There 2 utilities you can use to configure wireless in you Xp Computer. Wireless Zero Configuration or Intel ProSet. I recommend you to use wireless zero config. To make use of this you need to select the option in Proset to let windows manage the wireless (WIfi). Then you need to enable and start the windows zero config.

Steps:

- Select "Use Windows to manage Wifi" under advance tab of Proset window.

- Start>Run> Type Services.msc  

- Look for Wireless Zero Config, then double click

- Wireless Zero Config Properties will come out, In General tab startup type should be Automatic, and service status should be "started". (if status is already started, stopped then choose start again) Then apply.

Regards,

You are welcome.

Can you check if you WIFI is on. Look on the status lights. (Near the power button) See if then WIFI is on. To Enable/Disable WIFI press FN+F2.

Toggled the RADIO - Green WifI light is on. How do I re install the Wireless Zero Config ? .... I might need to do that.

Hi,

Can you go to control panel>network connections then right click wireless connection icon then properties. Look for Wireless Tab, and check Use Windows to configure Wireless network setting. Then try again.

Uber_Noob,

Maybe this will help.

* How do I install/use the network portion of XP if I uninstall the optional PROSet drives ?

3. Inserted DELL XP CD

4. Rebooted

5. Hardware detected but not installed

6. Attempted use DELL XP CD to install NETWORK

7. Requested SP3 CD for continue ... CD is only SP2

10. Switch to WINDOWS ZERO

11. Still does NOT indicate network in range

12. Switch back to PROSet

ZERO still does NOT indicate networks in range but PROSet works fine.

Any suggestions ? :(

Uber_Noob,

Did you have the drivers saved to the desktop? If yes, you could try installing the drivers.

What are you seeing under network in the device manager? If it's a yellow exclaimination mark, right click on it, then update driver and see if it finds the drivers on the desktop.

You can use system restore and go back to what you had.

Rick

I installed the drivers and checked the Device Manager. No errors or yellow marks. All is working properly but NOT in WINDOWS ZERO. The networks that show up in PROSet are missing in the ZERO mode. When switching to ZERO mode the connection still exists but the NETWORKS in range do not show up.

Please help.

System restore is NOT available.

I appreciated all the insight.

Uber_Noob,

Download the System Information Tool If using Vista/Windows 7, the tool needs extracted. Once extracted, right click on sysinfo and run as administrator.

If using XP, double click on the tool, then double click on sysinfo.

Allow this past your virus program and post the information back here.
