Good job, Jay It's good to see you actually performed all the basic troubleshooting steps before posting hereThe LAN EXPRESS IEEE 802.1 PCI Adapter says that it is working properly, and I reinstalled the latest Driver from the HP web site, but still I can't detect any wireless networks. I disabled the WEP security and the MAC filters on the router, and made sure that the SSID is broadcasting, but still no luck. I can connect fine with the Ethernet connection.
Have you attempted to re-install the NIC's?TCP/IP stack repair options for use with Windows XP with SP2.
For these commands, Start, Run, CMD to open a command prompt.
