asus 701 wireless problems

Post by ganonbanned » Sun May 09, 2010 4:24 pm

So my asus laptop hasn't been used in about 6 months, and I borrowed it to my old lady. She has wireless in her house, and I know it works, because her parents can connect to it on their laptop. I got to this screen:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v423/ ... reen10.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

and it doesn't say there are any connections. How can I fix this? It should be noted that the wireless adapter is turned on, and that the computer is running off of tinyxp and has atheros client on it (Not sure if thats important)

Thanks!

Try running "services.msc" and see if "DHCP Client" is enabled. It causes the computer (or at least mine) to not accept IP addresses. I have that problem and it happens just about everytime I boot.
Also, if you can go in the command prompt (run "cmd") and get a screenshot of "ipconfig /all", that could help.

every time I type in ipconfig/all, or even just ipconfig, it says " 'ipconfig' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file"

I may just try reinstalling windows :(

Whoops. I suppose I said it confusing. Go Start -- Run --- cmd then in the black window, type ipconfig /all. Don't type it in the "run" window.

Hmm. Maybe TinyXP removed that command.
Have you checked the device in Device Manager? All working, drivers good, etc?
Maybe you could try this. (Not specifically using the stuff they use)
