Intermittent Wireless Connectivity Problems

[bazciscor]

I have a Z60t and I've been experiencing wireless problems recently - once last week and again tonight. When I start-up the indicator light shows green, but there's no connection and I'm unable to turn the wireless off and on, except using the on/off switch on the front with no affect on connectivity. Since the problem apparently corrected itself last week, I simply forgot about it. It reappeared tonight. So, I uninstalled ThinkVantage Access Connections but with no improvement. The only recent change to the system is installation of Norton Internet Security 2008 (one month ago apparent with no problems). I'm beginning to believe the problem lies with it. A few minor reasons, but perhaps significant: after its installation, the battery and wireless icon no longer appeared in the taskbar. I reinstalled both the ThinkVantage Power Manager and Access Connections and the icons reappeared. This problem didn't reappear immediately after re-installation. I haven't contacted Norton (yet). Please advise.

Go to: (Assuming you've Windows Vista since you don't seem to mention any Operating System and if the folder exists)

C:\SWTOOLS\Driver\WLANINT\Vista\Apps\v32\iProInst\Repair.

Restart the machine afterwards.

Have you tried reinstalling the drivers?

Networking: Wireless.

Please keep in mind the package you install will be going to unpack itself to a location (given in the installation instrucrions) on your HDD, you would manually need to go there to run the .exe Setup file.

Thanks for the reply.

I'm running XP, SP2.

OK, so you think it's the driver(s). What do you suggest for XP?

Uninstall your current Wireless drivers, reboot and then reinstall them again.

Which wireless card do you have? If it's Intel's then simply follow the path to:

C:\DRIVERS\WIN\WLANINT2\XP\Apps\x32\iProInst.EXE

Otherwise C:\DRIVERS\WIN\WLLANATH\SETUP.EXE

The installation packages can be found from the previous link I posted.
