    Win 7 won't connect wirelessly


    Been tackling this problem for over a year now, with a few installs of Windows 7 that ended up making me go back to XP. Well now I have a dual boot with XP SP3 and Win 7 HP x64. The problem is that I can't connect to the internet while using a wireless adapter on Win 7, the wired connection works with Win 7 though, and the wireless USB adapter (Zonet ZEW2546) works on XP. The only pair that doesn't work are the zonet and Win 7. I've tried just about solution I could find, to no avail. I have an EVGA P55v SLI mobo - which I've heard isn't great with wireless, but if it works with XP it should be possible with 7 too. Win 7 is a fresh install so the problem is not antivirus or another program. I'm really hoping for a solution here, here is a copy of ipconfig /all (The Realtek wireless LAN utility is the USB adapter, and I am connected by wire.) Thanks!

    Welcome to SF,

    Can you pls. enable DHCP on your wireless connection?

    I was wondering about that, could you tell me how? I'm fairly computer savvy but networking is certainly not my strong point.

    Here's how you may enable your DHCP:

    I'm not home right now so I can't give it a shot, but it does say for ethernet, and the DHCP is disabled on the wireless (which is the only thing with a problem). Thanks

    Yes, you may use the same guide but apply it to your wireless setting.

    I just enabled DHCP, I forgot I had set it to obtain a certain IP because it wasn't working automatically, and it still isn't. Any more ideas? I'm really hoping for a solution this time around, XP is getting old

    Pls. check your router setting for any Mac filtering, disable it for now.

    Verify that you have the latest driver for your Realtek from the manufacturer's site.

    I haven't tried disabling MAC, how do I do that? I have the latest driver, and yes I read that thread before.
