Chris,

 

Can you run an ipconfig /all log and post it back here.

 

What virus program and firewall are you using?

 

Is there a program that is used to manage your connection?

Im using microsoft security essentials with windows firewall.

The connection appears to be managed by both windows and an intel wifi connection utility

Chris,

 

From looking for the specifications for the Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N 2230 adapter, I find some questions.

 

Can you find any documentation about the adapter? From what I'm seeing, it looks like this adapter work on the 5.1GHz band ONLY and it has Bluetooth.If that is correct, do you have a Wireless N router that works on the 5.0GHz band and/or a dual band wireless router?

 

You can check Microsot Essentials and see if it's being blocked. This is for the firewall for printers but should get you in the general area. Allow Printer past Microsoft Essentials

 

 

Rick

Chris,

 

Did you setup the wireless router, twice? Once for the wireless G and once for the wireless N?

 

OI would try setting up the router for the wireless G band and use pokerpro1984_G for the SSID and use these Recommended Wireless Router Settings, I use channel 11. You could probably use WPA2 instead of WPA unless you have other wireless devices to connect, like printers, cell phones and other wireless devices.

Then setup the Wireless N section, use pokerpro1984_N for the SSID and select one of the higher channels for that network.

 

If the adapter does not connect, then post back. I see you're getting an ip address, so try connecvting in the same room as the router.

 

Is you system under warranty.

 

 

Rick

 

 

 

 

Hi Rick thanks for the reply.

I have no documentation for the adaptor so I have looked online on the intel website. The adaptor is b/g/n dual stream (2x2) single band 2.4GHz with bluetooth 4.0. My router is dual band b/g/n.

I don't understand how I check if MSE is blocking it.

Thanks again,

Chris
