After some research it maybe related to IPv6. It looks like you're not using that so it's safe to disable it. Control Panel>Change Adapter Settings>Properties(of Local area connection). Then untick IPv6.
Also can you post a screen shot of your device manager(Control Panel>Device Manager). Before you do though go to the view in the menu and select show hidden devices and expand the network adapters like this
there are many things listed so i pasted them in 2 columns
Ok uninstall everything I pointed out in the screen shot.
This tool will help do this faster. As manually doing this will take a very long time.
Remove multiple 6to4 tunnel adapters in Windows 7 | Brimur's Place
Let me know if that tool works.
I downloaded the files, i tried right clicking them and run as administrator but the cmd window appears for a split second and disappears and nothing happens, if I just run it normally i get a window saying remove failed, what to do?
ok I manually uninstalled those things, now what?
Is it running fine now? Do still have issues?
no there is still no wireless networks in the tray, I find that when I turn my wireless switch on and off only the bluetooth is turned on and off, the WLAN remains off, does this mean the wireless adaptor is dead? device manager says it is working though. I don't understand why no networks are showing previously it was showing a lot of neighbour's networks in addition to my own.
Can you post a new screen shot of the Ipconfig /all?
Also can you run the troubleshooter of the WLAN? So when you right click on the Wireless network Connection it says "Enabled"?
And you double checked the passkey is correct? I know I've done that before where I left one letter out of my passkey and I couldn't get connected.
And it's still showing the same red x's like in your original post?
heres new ipconfig
