Internet issue Sony Vaio VGN-FW11E

???

my friend at university a sony vaio laptop with windows 7 and he is having the exact same problem as me in regards to having difficulty connecting to the university internet. The 'signal strength' is always full but it says 'no internet access' with an exclamation mark on the network icon.

So me and my friend went to the I.T department at university and the guy who works there said the problem is due to the Sony Smart Network but doesn't think there is a fix for it. I was wondering would it be possible to uninstall the sony smart network and just use the windows version? Or anyother way that anyone can think of because im not a computer expert. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi guys (and girls)

Not installing the correct driver, which I can't point you too as you've not filled THESE in.

Well, since im in this thread I thought it was obdvious that I have a Sony Vaio VGN-FW11E or do you mean that you need to know exactly what the 11E is running inside? In that case, here is its specs: Vaio : Sony Europe : Specifications

But I see now that I´m in the wrong thread since this ones main topic is internet issues but my issue is also being adressed here so I hope to get some help.

Every driver I find says I should install the 64-bit version but I cant find it.

Pokeher, exactly what driver did you get from download.com?

Hey mate,

I can't remember exactly what link it was but the above one from FZ21Z should work fine, if you're running 64-bit. (My version number is 7.100.1101.16)

I uninstalled all failed drivers before installing new ones, so try doing that too. Just make sure that no touchpad drivers are installed either through Device Mngr or Add/Remove programs.


Poke

Not really, given the amount of posters who post different issues about a different machine inside a thread about something else. Try this...

I see now that my answer seems a bit rude, not my intention.

The driver you found did it, my scroll is back so thanks m8 :)
