Hello,
I'm having a serious problem with my laptop (an acer) which i cannot seem to find any reference to anywhere... at all. My problem is that when i attempt to connect to my wireless network, which is very much in range and works for all of my other three laptops, this acer laptop cannot find my network, nor any other network at all as it seems. it says something along the lines of "windows cannot configure this wireless network... if you want to use windows to configure your wireless network, use the wireless zero configuration tool.." Now, i did use the wireless zero configuration tool once, I simply opened its "properties" menu, switched it to automatic, stopped it, then started it again, and this first time, it worked perfectly, my computer could once again detect wireless networks. Now, unfortunately, the problem reappeared, and i attempted to remedy it as i had earlier, but alas, when i accessed the wireless zero configuration tool, i found that it was not in the "start" gear, it was stopped. So i pressed "start", and i get a message that says something along the lines of "Wireless zero.. has started and stopped again. Some services stop automatically if they are no longer needed.." However, contrary to what windows seems to so abnoxiously claim, it did not solve the problem as it had before, as my computer could still not detect a single wireless network. I have battled with this endlessly to no end.
I might add that i have recently purchased a wi-fi max wirless dongle (not the one that accompanies the zydas software, it appears to be another type) which i have attemtped to use as a wirless access point for my nintendo DS (1st gen). yet to my dismay, i have yet another problem, which is that i cannot get the wifi max to obtain the IP address of my wireless network (the few times i can get my computer to connect to it). I attempt to allow my wireless network to let other computers and/or devices to connect to it, under the wireless networks properties menu. However, more often than not, the wireless network itself cannot be set as the "home network", and thus my wifi max dongle cannot aquire the IP address of my wireless network.
I realize this is a long and tedious post, but I am quite desperate to make this work as i have devoted an astounding amount of time to solving this, and i beg of you, please help me.
sincerely,
CT
