Vista - "Wireless Networks Are Available", but my "Connect To" list is emp

I can't detect any new wifi connections, even though the network icon on my
taskbar says that "wireless networks are available". when I click that, the
"connect to a network" window appears, but it says "Windows cannot find any
additional networks". I can still manage to connect to my previous wifi
connections that i have saved up and set them to automatically connect when
they are available...but i can't detect/add new ones. Come to think of it,
even my existing connections don't show up. Not even public wifi hotspots
show up.

I'm currently on Vista Business Edition, using a Sony Vaio SZ48.

Cheers.

Hi Vincent,

I don't have a specific answer to your question, but you might find a
solution in this Windows Vista Help topic:

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the link, but I've already went through that site earlier and my
problem still persists.

This problem only started a couple of weeks back. Before that, wifi hotspots
were detected fine. I'm afraid that some Vista update might have screwed up
my wireless, but I highly doubt it. Or it could be a Vaio update instead....

Hello Vincent;

I am having a very similar problem with an Acer TravelMate 3260.

Did you get this figured out, and if so can you give me some insight.

Please send me an email to dboychuk69@xxxxxx

Thanks

Duf.

I'm having the same problems also on my Aspire 5920.
It only started happening since I took it out on travel.

This is rather annoying as I need to use the internet often.
If you find the problem please could you let me know at
theo_lyster@xxxxxx

Thanks.
