WIFI modem? You sure?

Try booting into safemode and then uninstalling the drivers ;)

Let me know if that works.

Hi
You can try this Intel site, it will auto detect all your intel hardware and tell you what drivers to install:

OR you can download drivers for your card here:

well..if the switch is not working u will need to replace the switch..no software willl fix this....if the switch is fine and there is no light coming on well try update bios/system restore/-check to see if the adapter is listed under device manager

Try these first:

Make sure that the wep password is correct.

change channels to 1-6-or 11.

check is to make sure you are NOT using "IEEE 802.1x authentication for this network."

You can find at setting under "Wireless Network Connection Properties" and then under "Authentication" tab of your network properties.

This particular authentication method is periodically logging you off the network and re-authenticating.

Check the adapter in device manager to make sure that windows is not shutting the adapter down to save power.

Cordless phones and wireless ethernet cards use overlapping frequencies.As a test, you can unplug the AC cords from all the cordless phones in the area and see if it helps.

Have you try to check the IP ADDRESS of your laptop? Your laptop must have a unique IP address or it must have the same default gateway with your ISP provider or the router. see example below,

IP ADDRESS: 192.168.1.15
SUBNET MASK: 255.255.255.0
DEFAULT GATEWAY: 192.168.1.1

preffered DNS server: 192.168.1.1

note: 192.168.1.1 is the IP ADDRESS of your internet or ROUTER that is given from your ISP that they've configured.

try to check the other laptops that was able to connect, you can follow it.

Wi-Fi card can be considered broken only if its not able to scan for any available networks. Also, do check in the device manager of the computer. Check for the device status of this wireless adapter there. If its properly installed, etc., it should say, "This device is working properly". There is also a fix for other error messages. Regarding hardware breakage, we cannot come to a conclusion so easily as we have all these things to check. The case may be little complicated as its an in-built wireless card. We cannot even remove it and try on a different computer.

if you are using a passcode that is wpa for your security, check the version. if you are using wpa2 the card you are having issues with may not be able to support that passkey type. This will result in the problem you are having. Try the passkey as WPA1 or on some routers they give an option to allow 1 or 2.

The only other thing that can cause it, is mistyping the passkey so as long as the computer that you are adding doesn't require its mac address to be entered into the routers allowed clients mac table

try using this to get it back.

Check the Following

1) Wireless Switch of the Laptop is off (Wifi is Off)
it is located somewhere on the edge of the laptops
or Fn+F2 might turn the switch ON and OFF
2) The setting required to configure wireless connection

Check the following steps


Windows XP
1. Click on the Start Menu, and click on Control Panel.
2.Find and double-click “Network Connections” to open up the list ofconnections that your 3. computer uses to connect to the internet.
4. Right click “Wireless Network Connection” and select “Properties”.
5. Go to the “Wireless Networks” Tab
6. Check “Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings”, if it isn't already.
7. Click “Add” to add a wireless profile.
* Enter in the Network name (SSID). (It was your desired SSID from Step 6 ).
* Uncheck the box “The key is provided for me automatically”.
* Put in the “Key 1” code from Step 7 into “Network key” and “Confirm network key”.
* Push “OK”
# Open Internet Explorer (with the computer connected to the Router)
# Enter 192.168.1.1 into the Address Bar, push Enter
# Leave the User Name field blank
# Under the password field enter “admin”
# Click “OK”

# Click “Wireless”
# Click “Basic Wireless Settings”
# Enter a desired name into the “Wireless Network Name (SSID)” field
# Write down your Wireless Network SSID, it will be used for later.
# Click “Save Settings”

For WEP:

* Click “Wireless”
* Click “Wireless Security”
* Select “WEP” in the “Security Mode” field
* Bubble “1” under the “Default Transmit Key” field
* Select “128 bits 26 hex digits”
* Enter a desired passphrase into the “Passphrase” field
* Click “Generate”
* Carefully write down the code generated in the “Key 1” field onpaper, and store it in a safe place. THIS IS YOUR WEP KEY, it will beneeded later on.
* Click “Save Settings”

Do a wireless scan and see how many wireless connections are avaiable in your neighbor. If I was a beating men, that your wireless router is sharing a neighbor's wireless channel number.

I had the same problem. If you are using the latest driver for your intel 2200BG (9.0.4.7). Try to roll back to a previous version. It solved my problems with being unable to connect to a Linksys BEFW11 router running WEP64.

I am now running driver version 9.0.1.9

try disabling your wireless adaoter manually. There is usually a button to push or an F2 key you can push that turns it on and off. Turn it off this way then turn it back on. This resets it and will usually work. If it doesn't the problem might be with something else. You can contact me at [email protected]

I have the same card with Tecra A4. It was working fine with a D-Link 615 wireless router then for no reason it stop working I was able to detect my wirless network but no communication session started between my card and the router. I restrat the router and change the OS fro Linux to XP but still I have the same problem.

At the end I notice that in simple words my card cannot talk at all with the router. So I went to the router wirless settings and change the protocol from:
mixed 802.11 N, mixed 802.11 G, mixed 802.11 B
to only
802.11 G and 802.11B

Then it works fine onb both Linux and XP

well its unfortunate,,intel 2200 WLAN cards{oldest cards launched till now by intel} face this problem,the problem is with the differnce of wireless standards between the router and the wireless card.go for a wireless usb adapter,,install it and it wud work absolutely fine

the plug ins that it relates to can only be other programmes that are associated with the network for example windows zero configuration. I would suggest going to my computer, right click>properties>hardware tab>device manager and look in the list for network adapters and on the '+' sign right click on your wireless network card and select uninstal. Restart pc and it should be installed automatically, but keep your eye on the taskbar when it says found new hardware and ensure that it says it has found the intel pro wireless( if thats the model) and try again. Also re install the drivers from your notebooks web site incase there are updated ones.
