Re: "Windows is unable to connect to the selected network..."

Does your laptop have a switch to turn off the Wi-Fi card? On my DV9700 it is located on the front of the laptop on the left hand side near the hard drive LED's. Yours looks like there is a Wi-Fi light on the top of the laptop near the display is that lit?

Yes, the light is on.

=======================

Have you tried Rebooting your router? (Restarting it; Turn it of and then back on)
Do you get a connection if you connect to your router by a cable?

I have. I do not have a cable. I can ask my dad, but I am not home right now so I can't try it until later tonight.

=======================

@2xg: Thank you for the link. I will download that when I get home.
And I will post the ipconfig report as well.
As for the WZC, I DID disable it, but when I did, it just shut down the internet on my laptop. I didn't understand why I needed to disable it, since it seemed to be the only thing allowing me to detect networks around me.

But I will follow YOUR instructions when I get home and see if it works.

If you know where your pops keeps his computer-related stuff, like the box your router came in, atleast 1 cable should have come with it. So if you look around, im sure you'll find one instead of waiting for your pops to come home

No, the problem is I'M not home.
I'm at school.
And my laptop is at home.

I notice the media state's are all disconnected.
Is that hardware or software?

Re: Windows is unable to connect to the selected network...

@2xg: I have the page of all the drivers for my laptop favorited on my netbook.
EDIT: It worked!! So what I did was uninstalled the driver from the Device Manager and restarted my computer.

When Windows started up again, it didn't ask to re-install or anything.
The Wireless Assistant was disabled, though.
So I re-enabled it and I was able to connect to my network.

Thanks for all the help guys!!
