I have a very particular situation.
I have a wireless router, which works perfectly: I am connected with one pc and a phone.
I have a netbook, which can perfectly connect to a network: i have different working connections at different locations.
When I try to connect this netbook to the wifi, I get a message "windows could not connect to this network". I don't get the option to enter the wifi password. However, if I try to connect to another available wifi signal, I do get the message to enter the password. It is only this network, with this netbook. I rebooted several times, turned wifi on my netbook off and on again, I did the useless troubleshooting, nothing seems to work. It seems like the network is not able to send information (login details) to my netbook. Is there any setting I have to check?
Sounds like the netbook has stored an incorrect wireless password. Remove the wireless connection and then reconnect. This should give you the prompt for the password again.
Google "Remove previously connected wireless networks windows xp or windows 7 etc"
Could indeed be the solution, but not in this case. I have never been able to connect to this network with my notebook. I was never able to get the enter password screen. As a result, the network is not stored in my wireless networks either. I had a very big list here, which I brought down to a few. Still no access...
