Hi everyone,
I am running windows 7 on a presario desktop. I can connect using a wired connection, but I am trying to set up a wireless connection using a USB adaptor and the system will not detect a wireless connection. Trying to set up a connection manually results in an "unexpected error occurred" message.

I have tried 2 wifi adaptors with the same results and two different routers. My laptop using Windows 7 connects wirelessly to the network just fine. Here is the IPconfig/ all screenshot:

I have also attached device manager and xirrus wifi screenshots. Under device properties, Belkin USB adapter says the device is working properly.

Any suggestions?
Thanks!!

Hi and Welcome to TSF!

Please disable any Firewalls for now.

From the troublesome computer verify that all your network services are Started from Control Panel=> switch to Classic View then Admin Tools=> Services:
• COM+ Event System (for WZC issues)
• Computer Browser
• DHCP Client
• DNS Client
• Network Connections
• Network Location Awareness
• Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
• Server
• TCP/IP Netbios helper
• Wireless Zero Configuration ( XP wireless configurations only)
• WLAN AutoConfig ( Vista wireless configurations only)
• Workstation

Hi 2xg,
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
I have checked all those settings, and all are started. My virus and firewalls are off. Still no wireless connection.
Thanks!

Let's try adding your computer to your network again by following the instructions from this link.

Are you by any chance using a 3rd party wireless connection manager using your Belkin's wireless adapter?
