Repair Option On Wireless Network Runs What Windows Program?

[limitdos]

When you right click on the wireless network icon in the sys tray, and select "Repair" what file or program does it run?

Is it some executable in the system32 folder?

I'm fairly sure it does as it's integrated... why? Just out of interest.

From command line you can use the ipconfig exe file.
Like:
run cmd
ipconfig /renew
exit

Or some thing like t hat.

Actually it runs...
IPconfig /all
IPConfig /release
IPConfig /renew.

Thanks Patio.

Actually it runs...
IPconfig /all
IPConfig /release
IPConfig /renew.

But it seems to run all those with some little exe file, not using the command prompt.  There must be some little exe file in system32 that runs those commands.


The problem I am having is, everytime I start the computer, it never connects to my wireless network.  I have to right click on the icon in the sys tray and click "repair" EVERY SINGLE TIME.
That usually always fixes it and gets it connected to the wireless network.

Something is probably wrong with something, but I don't care at this point....I'll just find whatever that "repair" points to and add it in the registry at startup....so I don't have to keep right clicking it and selecting it every time I start the computer.

You may need to 'ADD' the network in your 'network and sharing' centre.

How do I get to the network and sharing center?  I've never heard of that....

Can you not get to it from control panel? sorry I'm a Vista user and have not used XP in about 4yrs. Try searching for it, type network in search.

Do you mean "network connections"
If thats what you mean....then yes...I've already been to that and its added to the wireless networks.....

It sees it at startup....it just ALWAYS says limited or no connectivity....

Try relocating the router and/or move any other wireless devices such as cordless/cell phones out of the area...
