Solved extremely frustrated here, help needed!

[jammy1337]

basically my laptop which is windows seven used to connect wirelessly and now it doesn't.
it says i CAN connect, but it just won;t, i've entered my WEP key and it is correct, and it doesn't work, this is so frustrrating as i need this to work for next week.
the pictures below show the problems!
i have a desktop too which is connected to the same router/network and it is doing fine with no problems

 

[jammy1337]

sorry the third picture was meant to show the lower right window saying 'unable to connect' but i was too early in screen capping that. the troubleshooter was also useless

 

[jammy1337]

i've also tried about 6 different sockets around the house and still doesn't connect

first off hello and welcome
have you reset the hub/router then rebooted?

 

[jammy1337]

to reset the hub ...do i just turn it off and on? or just hold the button in (its a cisco one)

 

[brianzion]

well turning it off and leave it for a minute or two before you turn it back on then reboot pc and see if it resets the settings

 

[brianzion]

give me the model number/details and i will investigate for you

 

[jammy1337]

the model of my laptop? advent rooma 3001

 

[jammy1337]

no connection still, just full bars with a yellow triangle

 

[brianzion]

ok, what's the model of the hub/router? you have tried the windows built in trouble shooter? what does it say?

have you tried this? Go to the start menu and type "view network connections" > Select the "View Network Connections" shortcut that appears > Right click the relevant adapter and choose disable or enable

I don't know if this applies, but many routers have a security password. Unless you enter the password, it will not let you connect to it. This may not apply to you as I have a different router than you.

i have the same trouble as you sometimes with my hub and after 3 or 4 attempts of resting hub and rebooting it sorts itsself out
