I just got an older emachine type pc. Its running windows xp. It has an after market wireless card. However when I go to connect to the detected wireless networks, it searches for a while and then stops without prompt and without connection. I tried a wireless hot spot from my phone and was able to gain limited or no connectivity. Any suggestions on what to do? Xp says that the hardware is working fine.

Ok lets see a log please if you can get these possibly with a cd/dvd or usb device.

Please download MINITOOLBOX and run it.
http://download.blee...MiniToolBox.exe

Checkmark following boxes:

Flush DNS
Reset FF proxy Settings
Reset Ie Proxy Settings
Report IE Proxy Settings
Report FF Proxy Settings
List content of Hosts
List IP configuration
List Winsock Entries
List last 10 Event Viewer log
List Installed Programs
List Users, Partitions and Memory size
List Devices (problems only)

Click Go and post the result.

Please download FarbarServiceScanner and run it on the computer with the issue.
http://download.blee.../farbar/FSS.exe

Make sure the following options are checked:
Internet Services
Windows Firewall
System Restore
Security Center/Action Center
Windows Update

Press "Scan".
It will create a log (FSS.txt) in the same directory the tool is run.
Please copy and paste the log to your reply.
