Network and Sharing centre.

The other day, My BT Voyager 1055 receiver stopped working. I don't know why, but it had been running on XP drivers. I downloaded the Vista drivers, in device manager it said it was ok, but It don't think it is, as I can't find any networks.

I might need a VERY good virus scanner, I have Mcafee Virusscan enterprise and antispyware enterprise, both updated.

It can't find any networks, or do anything.

I would be greatfull if anyone could assist me in this problem.

Vistas networking has a lot of bugs in it, sometimes it just stops working. Happened to my dads twice for no reason, and only a reinstall would fix it but it got broken again , resulting in me reinstalling XP

This computer came with Vista, but I really don't want to format or downgrade.

Anyone else got any ideas?

have you tried disabling and enabling the network connection? Sounds silly but as bennet says vista networking is rather buggy and that works for me whenever mine goes on the fritz.

When you mention your hub are you reffering to your router, is the actual network connection enabled on your pc, are you connecting wireless or wired

I am connecting with wireless.

My hub - "The BT Voyager 1055 Wireless Adapter is a plug and play 802.11g wireless networking adapter, developed to enable connection to a wireless network or base station, such as the BT Voyager 2110 Wireless Router.

This adapter allows you to connect your personal computer to the broadband Internet like any other ADSL modem without the use of cables between your computer and the ADSL socket. The BT Voyager 1055 USB adapter sends and receive signals to and from your PC and wireless Router.

This gives you the wireless freedom to surf wherever you want in the home or office, and not be limited to where the ADSL socket is!

The Voyager 1055 is installed in a free USB slot in your computer. "


I still can't get it to work, device manager says that there are no problems with it and it is working fine.

try remove the card, shut down the pc, reboot the dsl, modem, thet start up the pc, insert the usb card. see if it detect the network. is the wireless router encrypted ( WEP, WPA) ensure the usb adapter is using the same type of encription, or make sure the router is set to mixed.
