On any problem computer, I'd also like to see this:

Type the following command:

Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter.

thanks for the messsage. Internet connection is DSL, model of the router is speedport w 701 v. I am sure that the modem connections are perfect and works with wire and wireless. But my laptop doesnt detect the wireless singals in the network views and shows in my friends laptop. so how to make it function in my laptop too. Os is XP home. wireless is WEP mode.

Thank you, viji

Where's the IPCONFIG /ALL results?

Are you SURE you have enabled the wireless on the laptop? Normally, there is either a small switch or function key sequence to enable and disable the wireless.

Can you connect the laptop using a wired connection to the router?

thankyou,

[johnwill]

Have you tried the laptop at a local Internet hot-spot to see if this is an issue with the machine?

[vijigerm]

thank you for your message,

Yes i tried at local hot-spot its not detecting even there. Actually, I installed the internet supporting software from DSL and from then the WLAN option is not working. Even I rebooted the system with recovery CD, but didnt work. i can work only with wire, but the WLAN lost detecting WLAN networks.

so you mean its the problem with the machine?

thank you

[johnwill]

If you can't detect wireless networks at multiple locations, and other machines connect, the logical conclusion is that the machine is broken.

Of course, I'm not really sure what I'm reading, since I'm strictly a English speaking person.
