Re: Cannot Connect to Hotspots After System Restore

Hi
In many cases having Wireless connection and not being able to connect
involved security issue.
Make sure that the Wireless is opened (unsecure) when you are trying to
connect to free hot spots.
Otherwise if it is one specific "Hotspot" that you use to connect to it
might be that the opposite occurred. I.e it was secured so that uninvited
people can not connect any more.

Re: Cannot Connect to Hotspots After System Restore


well, the hotspot has always been an unsecured one, and it still is to
this day, but during the connection process, it just says unable to
connect. even tho ive always been able to. there wouldnt be a problem
where my computer just cant connect to hotspots anymore, would there be?

Hi
Well apparently it is Not working now.
Apprehension would Not solve the problem. Finding what is wrong with your
Wireless would.
In general.
My Wireless does not work - http://www.ezlan.net/wireless.html
