    My wireless on my HP pavilion dv6000 stopped working suddenly. Nothing out of the ordinary happened. The LAN runs through the house, the desktop computer works fine, and my laptops internet works fine when I plug the cable into it, but the wireless isn't working for some odd reason. When i search for wireless networks it gives me mine, and many, but when I start to connect it just takes forever, then stops trying to connect, and goes back to the list of wireless networks available.

    Hi

    What Windows version and service pack are you using?

    What security software do you have installed? disable whatever you have and especially the firewall and test again.

    If you get any error messages for non connection to wifi, then tell us the message in full?
