    Hi folks

    I have a decent spec HP Pavilion laptop which has wireless and up to recently was connecting fine with my Three dongle. However for the past few days it wont pick up the network. I have tried refreshing the list but it wont pick it up. I have used the dongle wirelessly on my main pc and it works fine so the problem seems to be the laptop itself

    I have tried a few other things when I right click on the wireless icon eg Repair Wireless connection but to no avail. Any idea what to do next?

    Cheers

    Have you tried turning off the firewall? Occassinally updates have been known to block all connections. And of course you have checked that the wireless on the laptop is turned on?

    Have you tried the laptop in any other wireless networks?
