Automatic Broadband Update Problems

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.broadbandnet.hardware (More info?)

I have a laptop that connects to the internet through a
Microsoft MN-720 wireless-G card wia my desktops MN-700
Base Station.

My laptop keeps receiving the automatic update message on
my task bar whenever I connect to the internet.

However, when I click on it to get the updates it always
opens a blank window with the following message in the
lower right side: "Done, but with errors."

Since the automatic update message keeps coming back I am
assuming it is not working.

Anyone know what gives?

Have you tried manually downloading the file and doing the installation. It
is
available from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/ [...] dMain.mspx If
you're running Windows XP on the laptop, you don't need the front-end
software because you can use Wireless Zero Configuration, which is much
better, with only the drivers.

If you're on Windows XP, uninstall the Broadband Networking utility in Add
or Remove Programs. You don't need it because you can use Wireless Zero
Configuration (Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Services) to handle
anything of the wireless adapter.
