Connect laptop to wifi
« on: March 16, 2012, 07:24:04 pm »
I have an old laptop here, and it always connected to the internet using wifi well, but a few days ago, it suddenly stopped connecting. When I use thinkvantage acces connections, it can detect the network, but when it tries to configure an ip, it says 'connection failed'. Is there a way to fix this?

Something I did to fix the wireless on my old laptop was to reinstall the driver for the wireless card. I also had discovered that the wifi was disabled in BIOS for some reason. Perhaps that's your problem as well?

Spoiler For IMPORTANT NEWS!:
Late last night, Quebec was invaded by a group calling themselves, "Omnimaga". Not much is known about these mysterious people except that they all carried calculators of some kind and they all seemed to converge on one house in particular. Experts estimate that the combined power of their fabled calculators is greater than all the worlds super computers put together. The group seems to be holding out in the home of a certain DJ_O, who the Omnimagians claim to be their founder. Such power has put the world at a standstill with everyone waiting to see what the Omnimagians will do...

Wait... This just in, the Omnimagians have sent the UN a list of demands that must be met or else the world will be "submitted to the wrath of Netham45's Lobster Army". Such demands include >9001 crates of peanuts, sacrificial blue lobsters, and a wide assortment of cherry flavored items. With such computing power stored in the hands of such people, we can only hope these demands are met.

In the wake of these events, we can only ask, Why? Why do these people make these demands, what caused them to gather, and what are their future plans...

I highly doubt it was disabled in BIOS for no reason. I would check if you accidentally disabled it in windows or maybe a physical wifi button
