This is very strange. I currently put my laptop on standby then when I "waken" it the wireless connection reconnects just fine. However when I restart my laptop the wireless connection does not reconnect. When I click on the available networks my connection is there with automatic selected but it does not connect. I have to go into the "advanced" tab, "configure" and change the connection to "mixed long" or "WiFi Spec" in order to "kick" it into life again.

Adversley, if I leave it after restart a dialogue box appears advising me that the network/access point is refusing access to this computer.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

Hey glogan65192,

Do you have third party software handling your Wireless connection? If so, try disabling it and use the Windows options:

Use Windows to configure your wireless settings

• Go to the Start menu and select Run
• Type ncpa.cpl and click OK to open the Network Connections menu
• Select your wireless connection service and choose the option Change settings of this connection.
• Go to the Wireless Networks tab and check the box labeled Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings

Launch Windows Zero Configuration

• Go to the Start menu and select Run
• Type services.msc and click OK
• Double-click on the service Wireless Zero Configuration (it'll be at the bottom of the list).
• Go to the Startup type list and select Automatic. Click Apply to confirm the changes.
• Select Start in the Service status section and then press OK to apply the changes.

If this doesn't resolve your issue, the next time you restart your laptop, can you please confirm that the Wireless Zero Configuration services has been Started, by looking in the list of services.

Thanks,
- Dan.

Thanks for your help. I have no third party program handling the conenction and each time I restart WZC is already started up. My laptop is finding my wireless router but just not connecting to it automatically.

Why on earth would my router be refusing access to my laptop?

thanks a lot

Hm, the only time I've seen something like that happen is if you have SSID broadcasting disabled in your router's settings; do you? I know you're saying that your router is "denying access", but it is possible that the error message you received was misleading; they're not always "on the ball".

One thing you could check would be your Event Log, as this should have a more in-depth error message, so the next time you startup your laptop, goto Start --> Run --> type EVENTVWR and press OK --> Now, look under the System log for any errors and/or warnings. If you find any, please post the relevant heading, along with the details inside by double clicking on the error/warning (denoted by a red 'x' or a yellow '!', respectively), and then copy/pasting the information from within. You should be looking for errors that occur around the time you can't connect.

It just seems strange to me that your router would "deny access" when you try to connect initially, and then just let you on when you refresh the settings.

I have to go into the "advanced" tab, "configure" and change the connection to "mixed long" or "WiFi Spec" in order to "kick" it into life again.

You do this on your computer, correct? Not in your router's settings? It just seems more like a firewall / adapter issue than a router issue, but I could be wrong

When you first startup your laptop, can you please do the following:

• Press Start
• Select Run
• Type cmd and press OK
• In the new command prompt window, type ipconfig /all > C:\ipconfig.txt
• Once the above command completes, type ipconfig /release >> C:\ipconfig.txt
• Once the above command completes, type ipconfig /renew >> C:\ipconfig.txt
• Navigate to your C: drive and open the text file ipconfig.txt -- please copy/paste the contents of this file into your next response.
  *NOTE: the single '>' and the double '>>' are intentional; please ensure you type the text in bold as it appears.

After running the above commands, can you connect to the Internet?
