Hello gang..I tried this (and many other solutions) and cannot get my comp to connect.
This comp has been shut off for the last few weeks, but nothing changed.
I can ping 127.0.0.1 successfully, but nothing else. Ive disabled my wired LAN connection, uninstalled & re-installed my MS MN-730 wireless adapter, restarted my router...all with no positive result.
I have the router wired to my main comp, and 2 laptops, an ipod and a home theater setup all connecting fine wireless..

Im at my (short) wits end

Even though it appears you're having the same problem, please start a new thread when you have a new issue. It's very difficult to keep two problems straight and who's working on what in a single thread.

I've created a new thread for your issue here.

Note: You will need to post complete details of your configuration and your specific issue in this new thread for us to help you.

Thanks for your cooperation.

[Harleyxx]

Thanks, I appreciate it.
My setup is a Linksys WRT54G V8 router, running dd-wrt V24 micro.
The comp in question is a typical store bought desktop, Gigabyte MB, microsoft MN-730 wireless adapter.
As mentioned, its been off for a few weeks. Prior to that it connected no problem, now it sees the connection, just wont connect or ping the router.

[johnwill]

Does it connect using a wired connection? Have you disabled ALL encryption and MAC filtering on the router and tried to connect that way?

[Harleyxx]

It is a wireless connection via the MN-730.
I disabled all of the security (mac filter was off anyway) on the router, but the comp insists on a password

[johnwill]

Post a screen shot of the issue please.


To post a screen shot of the active window, hold the Alt key and press the PrtScn key. Open the Windows PAINT application and Paste the screen shot. You can then use PAINT to trim to suit, and save it as a JPG format file. To upload it to TSG, open the full reply window and use the Manage Attachments button to upload it here.

Im not sure what active window you're looking for. I am attaching the cmd promt of my attempts to ping the router.
Otherwise all I have are the available networks, repair saying it was unable to repair.

[johnwill]

Hold the Windows key and press R, then type devmgmt.msc

Please respond to all the following steps.

1. Under Network adapters, please tell me all the devices listed.
2. Are there any devices under Network adapters that have a red x displayed?
3. Also, are there any devices anywhere in the Device Manager display with yellow ? or ! displayed?

Let's see this as well.

Hold the Windows key and press R, then type CMD to open a command prompt:

In the command prompt window that opens, type type the following command:

Note that there is a space before the /ALL, but there is NOT a space after the / in the following command.

IPCONFIG /ALL

Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter to copy the contents to the clipboard.
Paste the results in a message here.

If you are on a machine with no network connection, use a floppy, USB disk, or a CD-RW disk to transfer a text file with the information to allow pasting it here.

The netork adapters in device manager is just the MN-730. There is an ethernet controler under other devices with a question mark...I have not been able to find software for it.

[johnwill]

Are there any other devices in Device Manager that are in error?

[Harleyxx]

No, none at all

[johnwill]

Well, you need to identify what NIC hardware you have and find a driver...

[Harleyxx]

I have done that, device manager says proper software installed and device working properly...which it isnt.
T
It did work perfectly before and nothing was changed on the comp except the fact it was shut off for a few weeks

[johnwill]

Maybe the NIC has died. You say DM says the device is working properly, yet earlier you day DM says the device is in error. Which is it?

[Harleyxx]

No, the ethernet controler is in error, the MN-730 wireless card is not

[johnwill]

I was referring to the wired NIC when I said you should obtain the correct driver.

[Harleyxx]

I have installed every driver for my (gigabyte) mb that I can find online...it seems none of them work

[johnwill]

Perhaps the NIC is dead, time for a new PCI NIC, they're cheap.

[Harleyxx]

but the wireless card seems fine

[johnwill]

I thought we were talking about the wired NIC.
