    All looks fine there. The next thing to try is to reset WinSock and TCP/IP Protocol stack. Open an Elevated Command Prompt and enter the following:

    netsh winsock reset catalog (reset winsock entries)
    netsh int ip reset reset.log hit (reset TCP/IP stack)

    How to open an Elevated Command Prompt:

    1. Click on Windows 7 Start Button
    2. Go to All Programs then Accessories
    3. Right click on Command Prompt and select “Run as Administrator” from context menu.

    Reboot and see if that helps. If you want, you can try each one individually to see which one works (if it works).

    Did you recheck to make sure the wireless switch is on? It sure sounds like it's off.

    Can you do a hard wire to your router or Modem? Using a Cat5 cable.

    If we do that then we will know that your internet is working good. We can also narrow down some problems doing so.

    Once you connect to your router/Modem with the cat5 cable.. can you repost the IPCONFIG /all

    Hi please check if this works.
    1.Refresh the drivers.(Device manager) got to device manager>wireless card>Right click>unistall dont check the small box.
    2.Power cycle the Router. 3.Log into safe mode with networking(shut down the computer> turn it back before the dell logo starts up keep tapping the F8 key constantly untill you see Advanced boot options choose safe mode with networking)

    3.still no go ......... Disable fire wall........check if any other systems are connected to the same network..... if yes...do a system Restore.

    4. last option is PC restore.

    Can't activate Wireless Adapter: Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN mini-card


    Dear All

    Thanks for useful advice on this thread but I have tried everything in this thread, to no avail.

    I have downloaded the following drivers for the wireless card (R256972 and R242432 from Dell) that are supposed to be the specs for my laptop and settings, but refuses to install as "appropriate hardware not detected"

    I have

    Windows 7 Professional x64
    Dell Inspiron 1545

    Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN mini-card
    Broadcom File Version 4.176.75.18

    Any tips please?
