ISSUE RESOLVED !

I went to Hewlett Packard and got onto a FORUM there.
Got into a sub-forum and asked the question about the WiFi not 
connecting with the Internet.


Finally someone answered and posted a link to Atheros Drivers (don't 
know where he got it from).

Here is the Forum and my Thread:
https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Wireless-and-Networking/HpG60-200-VISTA-Cannot-connect-WiFi-to-Internet/m-p/6128229#M135222

On the first reply I was given this link to drivers:
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp54501-55000/sp54972.exe

I downloaded that driver (sp54972.exe) and ran it and then went into the 
Atheros Adapter "Properties" and UPDATED the driver - and directed it to 
"search the computer".


THAT did it !  Now the Atheros Adapter works.
Apparently -before - it found the Router and recognized it w/o it's name 
(?).
Once the right driver was installed it found the router AND it's name 
and THAT allowed it to

access the internet.  God Help me if I know what I am talking about !

I had googled this problem quite a lot and there are MANY people having 
this problem - MANY !   No answers had worked - I tried a lot of them !

Lucky that this fellow (Paul Tikkanen) knew of what he spoke !

I wish I could disperse this information to all those who are STILL 
fighting their WiFi Adapter.  I don't know how !  Besides - It just 
works for Atheros Adapters.

Here is a real kicker !
I bought a Roswell USB (thumbdrive sized) WiFi Adapter and loaded it onto
this %@&$#& Laptop and THAT works !
I can immediately get onto the Internet via my Router with the Roswell WiFi !

Can this Atheros WiFi [embedded in Laptop's Back (screwed in plate)] be too
old or outdated junk ?

This was a Laptop I bought at Goodwill for $30 - it works well - looks new !
Was a used business Computer.  Wonder if the bad WiFi prompted it's demise

Totally stumped !  I give up !

DoctorBill


The wifi radio sees the router just fine.
Therefore the problem is likely due to a setting either in the laptop or the 
router
and not a hardware problem.
Have you checked Device Manager to see if it could be a driver problem?

My router (NetGear 600) setup "Wizard" asks if I need a password to
get on my ISP.
I chose "No" - however my E-Mail does need a password.

What is this Internet IP Address thing ?   How would I get it ?
NetGear's wizard has - "use Static Address (number given) or Dynamic.
Chose dynamic. ???

Anyway...I went back to the NetGear wizard and had it set up what is
needed and tested it.
It says I have an internet connectionobviously - I am using it now
on my Desktop WIRED to
the router.

Now to go back and try the Hp G60 Laptop's WiFi


There are so many possibilities of wifi things not being set right...
No ip address - set your router to auto dhcp or dynamic.
wrong security type - use wpa2
firewall exclusion - turn off the computer fire wall for a few min to
test.
etc.


Try this
Enter http:\\216.58.209.110 into SeaMonkey
That should take you to Google.
If that works it means you don't have your DNS setup properly.

Jim


Didn't work.  Must be my DNS...whatever THAT means.
Onward !

No it means you are not getting out of your PC or Router.
Try it hard wired once.

Set up Google as home page and then Fox News on the bookmarks Toolbar.

If your wireless network is not protected by a password any connection
outside your building can do nasty things ... and you can be prosecuted.


I did put a Password into the Router Setup.
When I set up my wife's computer's Roswell WiFi Adapter, I had to put THAT
password into the adapters Program.  I guess it automatically gives the 
password

when it connects to the Router..
I changed the Password in the utility to some nonsense and then it would 
not connect to the internet.   So I guess it is working via the password.


I STILL cannot get the &#%@$ Laptop to connect.  I copied down 
everything I could

find from the Wife's Computer Network info and put those numbers into my
Laptop's Network stuff - NO GO !
Stumped.it connects to the Network but won't connect to the Internet !
Is this why folks never liked Windows VISTA !?

This wifi-material is a modem-routeur which is connected thru the 
telephone line to my ISP with and ID and a Password.

When all is ok, I can access my mailbox with an ID and a Password.
The 3 passwords are differents.
If your pc is connected strongly with the modeme thru wifi, it could be 
without password (This depends of your wifi options in your modem-router)
If that is ok, and You cannot use SM to access Google, par exemple, this 
is because your modem "is not connected to the internet" the causes can 
be that you have not specified the ID/PW for the connection to your ISP.
Another possibility could be that the internet-access at your isp is 
down at your isp server.

So the best way of solving your problem should be a phone call to your isp.

I don't know if this News group is where to get help with a problems I
have.
I bought a used laptop with WiFi using Windows Vista.
I have a wireless Internet Dish outside which connects to my computer
via a cable.
I bought and set up a NetGear 600 Router in my house - connected to the
ISP Cable.
It is working.  This Desktop is connected to the Router right now via a
cable.
When I try to set up a WiFi connection on the Laptop, VISTA says I am
connected with a strong signal.

However, when I start up SeaMonkey, it won't connect to the Internet.
I had set up and used SM - with the cable connected directly to the
Laptop - and got
onto the Internet.  Now via the WiFi, I cannot connect.

Am I doing something wrong here ?How do I get the WiFi signal the
Laptop is getting
to interface with SeaMonkey and then the ISP ?

I have NEVER used WiFi and don't know squat about it.  Especially the
Jargon.  Dinosaur.

My router (NetGear 600) setup "Wizard" asks if I need a password to
get on my ISP.
I chose "No" - however my E-Mail does need a password.

What is this Internet IP Address thing ?   How would I get it ?
NetGear's wizard has - "use Static Address (number given) or Dynamic.
Chose dynamic. ???

Anyway...I went back to the NetGear wizard and had it set up what is
needed and tested it.
It says I have an internet connectionobviously - I am using it now
on my Desktop WIRED to
the router.

Now to go back and try the Hp G60 Laptop's WiFi


There are so many possibilities of wifi things not being set right...
No ip address - set your router to auto dhcp or dynamic.
wrong security type - use wpa2
firewall exclusion - turn off the computer fire wall for a few min to test.
etc.


Try this
Enter http:\\216.58.209.110 into SeaMonkey
That should take you to Google.
If that works it means you don't have your DNS setup properly.

If someones finds the bug number and posts it here, or files a new bug
for it and posts the number here, I might do it...

This isn't solely happening in SeaMonkey though, the behavior in
Thunderbird is the same (although it's a bit harder there to get to the
subscription settings).

I use SeaMonkey but not the mail client.  I use Thunderbird 24.7 on 
Windows 8 pro and I have no problems seeing the full newsgroup name on 
mouse hover over the abbreviated name  in my newsgroups lists in the 
left side pane under my Identities.  I also see the full name if I go to 
subscriptions and look at the newsgroups to possibly set them for 
offline use.  Maybe this got messed up in a later version of TB?  I did 
upgrade TB some time ago to the version after 24.7 and it was a terrible 
version.  I reverted to 24.7 and have remained with it.  It works fine 
for me so why fix something that is not broken?
