Here ipconfig /all shows the correct configuration. However, the adapter still shows "acquiring IP Address" and hangs there. If I try repairing the connection, I am told that the process cannot continue for one reason or another, though, on occasion, it connects when I close the message box. At this point ipconfig /all shows the default values for the configuration. When I attach the wireless adapter there is usually a message telling me the connection has "limited or no internet access".

I have searched for solutions on the internet and tried everything I can find - I have scanned my hard disk with Panda Antivirus have downloaded and run MalwareBytes I have tried changing the router channel I have tried setting the ipconfig values. I have checked my wireless connections setup, including TCP/IP, and can find no problem devices in Device manager. Also, the problem laptop connects perfectly via the ethernet cable. Since every other computer, iPhone, iPad and Kindle connects to the same network and works perfectly, I have to assume that there is no problem with that router. I have been using an Edimax EW-7318Usg wireless adapter, which has never given any trouble in the past, to connect with my home network through a router/modem supplied by my ISP.



Just recently, for no apparent reason, the WiFi on this laptop suddenly stopped working. I use it mainly for midi file work and as a host for Visual Studio 2005 which I keep for maintenance of some programs, written many years ago, but still in use by some of my friends and for which I require frequent searches on the Internet. I have spent the last 4 days trying to get my WiFi to connect to the Internet and am ready to throw the computer and all its additional equipment out of the window!Īmongst a collection of other laptops and a desktop, running different systems - Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 - I have an old Acer Aspire 3000, running Windows XP Pro SP3.
