Wireless Network Connection - wilful blindness to my network

[DavidOfRedfern]

Hello

I have a HP Pavilion dv 8217TX with Intel Core Duo processor T2300 1.66 GHz.

My Windows XP Professional laptop has recently developed a fault. It cannot
connect to my home wireless network. The wireless function is working as it
scans and detects several network in my vicinity, just not my network. It
seems 'wilfully blind' to it.

I have a built in wireless card - Intel Pro/Wireless 3945 ABG. It has been
working for the past two and a half years.

I am using an Apple Airport Express Router connected to an ADSL router. My
two flatmates are able to connect to our wireless network.

I can still connect to the internet using an ethernet cable.

I am unaware of any changes to any settings on my pc. My pc is the one on
which we installed the software for the Aiport Express. We have had no
problems with it.

I don't want to make this question too long. Is there anybody out there
with any suggestions / ideas?

Looking forward to help, regards DavidOfRedfern

It is not unkown for the internal software connection between the wireless
card and the applications that actually use it to become broken somewhere.
If a reboot hasn't fixed the problem then a system restore to a time before
the problem occured should fix things.

Do one of the followings:
1- Turn the Router OFF for about 40 seconds, also in the same time turn the
Laptop OFF then Reboot/Start/Power On the Router and wait for about 40-60
seconds when the Three lights Green Solid Turn the Laptop ON and see if you
can connect to the Router. Does it help?
2- If still cann't connect try this:
- Right click on your Wireless Icon in the Notification Area and click on
the Properties Button under General Tab.
On the Wireless Network Connection Properties click on Wireless Networks Tab
then under the Preffered networks try to remove the unwnted lists of
wireless you been using in the past and no longer uses or connect and add the
wireless network you want to connect to and click [OK]. Does it connect?

Open a run command and type in:
ipconfig /flushdns click [OK]
ipconfig /renew click [OK]
netsh winosck reset click [OK]

Reboot the laptop and try to connect, how things?

Try to renter the Encryption Key/Password for the connection if your
wireless using security encryption method.
