Windows 7 no Network Connections
Hi
My Packard Bell laptop is not seeing either of it's nework adaptors.
However Device manager reports that both the WiFi and the LAN adaptors are both present and that the drivers are working properly ( I have already deleted them both several tines and reinstalled the Packard Bell Drivers).
I have no disabled services, nor do I seem to have any conflics in Device manager on the normal or the hidden devices list.
The Wireless card can see that my WiFi nework is present but only connects with limites access. I do have MAC filtering on my router, but the MAC address of the WiFi card is on the list. Can't see the MAC address at the moment but that cannot have changed as it is hard coded by the manufacturer.
Using an ethernet connection, the status page shows connected but no data is sent or received which is the same with the wireless card. Nither connection shows any IP information at all.
Going to the 'cmd' window and typeing in ipconfig /all
shows no adaptors, just four lines of text:
Host Name .................. PCName
Primary DNS Suffix .......... (this is blank)
IP Routing Enabled........... No
WINS Enabled ................. No
The properties of both adaptors are avaliable and have been setup, but no joy
Tried to reset the netsh winsock catalogue, but it said I needed administrator privilages to do this, however I am logged on as the administrator.
Pulling my hair out on this one.
