Solved Connected to Wireless network, but windows says Not connected

OK, so i am connected to my wireless network, but windows says that i am not connected

Hi bdman32,

Try removing all network profiles, re-add your own SSID (wireless network) with the correct encryption.

Make sure that 'Obtain DNS Server address automatically' in your wireless setting is set to auto.

thanks for your help but, i tried that but it did not work

Can you screenshot your network adapters, and also ipconfig /all infos.

bdman32,
That "connected" simply means that you are connected to the router.

I get that quite frequently when when a password is also required.

What do you see if you go to a command prompt and type NSLOOKUP

What type of Security of Firewall Software do you have, completely disable it for now, see if that's the issue.

You might want to post an ipconfig /all output for review.

ip config is as follows

bdman,
You might want to run ipconfig /alll again but this time type:
IPCONFIG /ALL > ipconfig.txt

Now you have the output of ipconfig /all in a text file and you won't have to worry about info being truncated.

thanks guys, for your help, i had to wipe my comp for antother reason so it fixed it
thanks for your help

Glad to hear that you got it all sorted bdman32.

https://social.technet.microsoft.co...nected-to-my-wireless?forum=w7itpronetworking There is this answer which worked for me: "I monitored the processes running the NlaSvc and Netprofm services (using ProcMon), and noticed that both were denied read/write access to subkeys within the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList hierarchy.

The processes were running as NetworkService and LocalService, respectively, so I tried adding full access for these service accounts to the entire subkey mentioned above. Notice that permissions are not automatically inherited in the registry, so you may need to explicitly "replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object".

Within seconds, Network and Sharing Center tells me I'm connected to my domain. "
