I am having the same problem as JOJO and Rexxx.

My U100 has a good wifi connections, but I just cannot connect to the internet.

Does anybody have a clue? I have got the latest drivers from the MSI website installed.

Hi.
I just got a wind u100 and am having problems accessing the internet.
I’ve already installed the updated realtek driver.
The wireless card appears to be working since the signal strength is very good and the status is connected. However, I still cannot connect to the internet and keep getting the error message “Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage” Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I have tried reinstalling the latest drivers
according to Hardwyrd’s instructions.
My card can connect to LAN but the signal
(the signal bar) in the realtek console
switches from around 80% to 0.
It cycles every few seconds.
So I can’t get my net going.
Any suggestions on how to repair this will be welcome.

got the same problem of no wireless ap detected.
You’re right, its the driver. I downloaded the driver from msi site and extracted it to my disk. Then i uninstall the mini card driver. Then I add the hardware and voila, it found the new driver and my wireless lan is working.
Thanks guys

I’ve had the same problem, with constant wireless disconnects…
I try re-installing even doing the “JWPACIFIST” solution, but my wifi card driver(RT27000E)is a “.EXE” and i`m not able to extract the files and locate and open the IsConfig.ini…

can you help me find solution to this problem

I’ve had the same problem. You need to press Fn + F11. You will then be able to see the wireless network, however, when you try to connect, it just stops.

All you need to do is modify the settings for the wireless adapter by pressing the Configure button on the Wireless Adapter Card Properties dialog.

I have posted the details on my blog at http://baudizm.blogsome.com

Update: It works. It download latest drivers from http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=driver&maincat_no=135&prod_no=1474. I’ve checked the IsConfig.ini but there WinXp=1 was already set. After instal by setup.exe the RTL Wifi manager apears and everything is ok now .

I had the same problem!!! I will try the latest Driver and run the Setup.exe (not instaling driver by hardwaremanager fom XP). Will se if this will help. This problem should be described on Wind Wiki. Please insert some description there!

THANKS JW! 8/22 downloaded WLAN driver from the link- did not have to change WinXP=0″ to “WinXP=1 so just download and run setup. Restart required.

It seems pretty common place. You will have to disable Windows’ wireless (Wireless 0) and use Realtek’s wireless utility which isn’t enabled/installed by default.

Here is the optimal solution to this problem (I suggest this post be stuck at the top of the board by a moderator):

1) Ensure wireless is enabled by pressing Fn+F11

2) Under Network Connections, Right Click the Wireless Connection and go to Properties.

3) Under the “Wireless Networks” tab, UNCHECK “Use Windows to configure my network connections”

4) Download the latest driver from http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=driver&maincat_no=135&prod_no=1474

5) Extract the files

6) Locate and open the IsConfig.ini

7) Under “SupportOSUI ;Supported platforms for RtWlan Utility” change “WinXP=0″ to “WinXP=1″

Locate the Setup.exe and run it

9) Complete the install and the Realtek wireless utility will take over. If it doesn’t, an icon will be placed on the desktop automatically.

This should cure any issues with constant wireless disconnects and stabilize the wireless network connection with any router.

Cheers,
Jay

how do i reset my wind?

i’m experiencing the same problem… i’ve updated firmware of my router and also that of the wlan, which i got from the msi website. my wifi connection isn’t still rock solid. =(

is it advisable to just buy a new mini wifi card and install it on my wind?

By: LiNTEK

LiNTEK — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 00:56:19 +0000

@Mike, you have to reset the wind after re-installing the driver. I also urge you to reset the router.

I did these things and everything went fine.

You may want to try the software from Boingo. A wireless connection manager that might also help. I’ve heard this from a dell tech and they say that if all things fail try Boingo.
