Hi, I'm trying to get the wireless network working on a Compaq TC1000.
The green light is flashing,
There's a strong signal in the area (according to other laptops),
If I run the Compaq diagnostics all test are OK, and the WiFi device has
even picked up the correct DNS suffix.
I have no adaptors set to "Bridge"

But...with I click to "View Available Wireless Networks" the dialog is
greyed-out, including the Advanced button.

Can anyone help please?

thank you
jonph

Jon, have you perhaps tweaked anything in your Services section? Take a
look in Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Services, and way down at the
bottom, make sure Wireless Zero Configuration is turned on and running.

Then go to Network Connections and right-click the icon representing your
LAN connection, and select Properties. Go to the Wireless Networks tab, and
make sure there is a check mark in Use Windows to configure my wireless
network settings. OK your way out, and restart your machine.

Hi Jonph,

I had the same problem with one of the TC1100's that I had here. The
problem turned out to be an outdated driver and was solved by updating it.
Check the HP site for an updated driver and see if it resolves your problem.

I also had the same problem. After downloading the revised driver I had to
download and reinstall the Q-Menu as well. After that all worked fine

I also recently had the same problem on a Panasonic Toughbook CF-18. Also
had to re-install the driver vs the one that came on the recovery CD. One
thing of note is that you need to register with Panasonic via their site to
gain access to their drivers, else you get errors when you try and download

Regards
Robin
