- the wireless card is built into the computer.
it use to work but cannot connect.
i took it to a local computer repair shop and they told and showed me it works on their wireless router, so i thought it may be my wireless router at home.
but my second laptop connects fine.

- clarify: my laptop use to connect fine until recently. the passcode hasn't changed the router is less that 3ft from the laptop yet my second computer which is on the second floor on the other side of my house connects fine.
First off you need to go to your network connections, and right click on the wireless connection and view status. Then click on the support tab, and then the details tab. This will show you what the IP configuration is. You need to have a gateway (which is your wireless router IP) and a assigned IP address for the laptop, and also a dns IP to resolve who you are. I'm going to guess that one of them are missing, perhaps the DNS? If there is any missing click on the repair button, and see if it corrects the problem. If not, then you have a bigger problem then you bargined for. You will need to go to your network connection and click on wireless connection. Inside you will find a add wireless connection button. Click this button and windows will walk you through creating a new connection. If that doen't to the trick.
You can reconfigure your HomePortal without using the setup CD.
