    Wireless will not connect
    « on: March 20, 2010, 02:43:18 PM »
    I have an old presario 2209CL notebook running a broadcom wlan card. Whenever I try to connect to a wireless network I get this message:
    Windows is unable to connect to the selected network. The network may no longer be in range. Please refresh the list of available networks, and try to connect again.
    I haverefreshed the network several times but it still will not connect. Also, I know the network shold be in range because I am right now 10 feet away from the wireless router which is a netgear WGR614 v7. Any help would be apreciated.

            Windows XP?  So you resolved the problem by:
                 a.  Installing Service Pack 3?
                 b.  Removing Service Pack 3?
                 c.  Keeping previously installed Service Pack 3 and making some adjustment and/or fix recommended by Microsoft?
