Help connecting to my home network please

cindyhove

Hi all,
My youngest son has an E-System 1201 laptop.
I am unable to connect it to the home wireless network. When I try to enable Network discovery it won't change from "off". I assume that this is the problem, as the other laptops in the network connected effortlessly.
Can someone please help me connect thi sto my network?
Thanks
:mad:

Could be SSDP is turned off ,
or one of its dependencies, check that is enabled in services.

Type "services.msc"

Thank you sooo much. I have now found that the wireless driver wasnt installed. I have now found it and its locating the networks - I just need to remember the password to connect it now! That you can't help me with!

You have been a real help. :T
