ASUS 802.11g Wireless Adapter problem.

[Flisker]

Hey

I have this really annoying problem, I got a ASUS 802.11g wireless adapter (PCI) card and before I changed my mobo it worked perfect without a fault. I now changed the motherboard to a GIGABYTE GA-EP31-DS3L, and now the WiFi card won't working properly. It displays the Wireless Networks, but whenever I try and connect I get "Windows cannot connect to this wireless network." When I click on Diagnose It will then show the following:

When I tried the card downstairs on a XP computer it worked flawlessly. I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit.

I've tried the following steps:



IVE TRIED GOOGLE SO DON'T POST LINKS FOR GOOGLE
Downloading latest drivers
Uninstalling and reinstalling wifi card
Reinstalling OS
swapping the PCI slots

Hope you can all help me because to be honest, I am running out of ideas.

Thanks,
Chris

P.S Sometimes the card will connect but with wrong IP or just doesn't do anything once connected.

Have you any other wifi cards to try?
is other computers connecting to the network wirelessly?
is wireless enabled on the router?
is your router got security set up?
is encryption key put into your comp?
can you connect to any other networks? (if you can try)

also a hint; your thread title ends in "problem" this is tech "discussions" theres a section tech "problems" ;) better suited.

Cons: The wireless utility that comes with this card did not work right for me. I could not maintain a connection using the bundled software. Other Thoughts: I uninstalled the utility that came with the card and let Windows manage it. Since then I've had no problems.

That's when it connects (If it ever does), that's the IP I get.

I would try this cause this worked for me:

Go to Run (Start, Click Run)
and type in this: C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.msc

Scroll down until you see Wireless Zero Configuration
Right Click and hit Properties.
Then see if it starts automatically, if it doesnt, just switch it to Automatic by using the drop box.

Click on the Recovery Tab
See what your settings are. Most of the time, it is good to set restart the program and run a program.

Now click on the Dependencies tab, see what it relies on for it to run.
Write down the names of them and then search for them.

One of the files in the services folder I just had you open.
Search for its dependicies and see which ones say they have a problem. If they dont then I really dont have any more help. You could try running a check on all the dependicies but thats just me

All sorted. Bought a new one from play.com :)
