Hi taebo, Did you ever find a fix to this? I have the same problem, it sounds like. Sometimes it will connect to the Internet over wireless, but only if I switch off and on the wireless button on my router and then restart my laptop. Otherwise it just connects locally to my WLAN, and doesn't make the connection to the Internet. Any ideas? Ugh.... :o(

On the desktop, open internet explorer and type 192.168.1.1 into the address bar (it may be 192.168.2.1, 192.168.1.100, or 192.168.2.100 as well). This should bring you to your Linksys management page. Go to the wireless section and select enable and save. You should be able to see your network on the laptop - generally it is named linksys.

I had the same sort of problem and it eventually went out completely. As much of a hassle as it is contact the HP tech support. They can at least OK a new card if needed. I ended up having to send mine in for a new motherboard. My other suggestion, do not under any circumstances buy another HP.


Are you able to connect to any other wireless networks to surf?

Does it work when you plug into the network card from your router with an ethernet cable?

What kind of security do you have on the router?

Answer these questions and if anything when you contact HP you will be able to tell them this before going through all these procedures.
