I have a home network. The PC (main) and 3 laptops.
PC is wired Modem-Router-PC
Laptops are wireless. The 2 laptops are able to pick up the signal and connect.
The 3rd laptop is XP.
Wireless-It will not pick up any signal in the networks. According to the computer, there is no network signals within range. (Which it is in range, for when I take 1 of the 2 other laptops that has connectivity in the same location, they pick up the signal just fine)
When I move the laptop to the pc and do modem-router-laptop with a wired connection, connection is fine.
Device manager shows PCMCIA card as a yellow question mark (needs correct driver). But I didn't think that the pcmcia card had anything to do with the wireless connection, as the slot in the laptop has always been blank.
It is a HP laptop, couple of years old.
Oh, it has worked before, maybe about 3 weeks ago, and as far as I know, no hardware/software changes have been made since then.
I have even tried to manually enter the SSID and security key, and still no luck.
I have made sure that I have all the windows update's done.
HP tech support was no help, as I kept on telling them about the pcmcia driver, they kept on telling me to install graphic/video card drivers.
Router is broadcasting SSID.
Any advice?
Oh, and will buying a PCMCIA card be an alternative fix to get a wireless signal?
