Welcome.

The reason you're probably seeing this failure, is because NCIS (Network Connectivity Status Indicator) is failing to make the connection to check the status. There are several things you can try to fix this.

1. Disable any third-party AV/firewall software and retry
2. Disable and the re-enable the Network adapter
3. In Device manager, disable the re-enable the Network driver

If those don't work we can make some changes in the registry.

Update the driver(s) from manufacturer's sites. If wireless is present and chipset is Atheros based (vast majority are), install driver for that one from here:

ATHEROS drivers for Microsoft Windows (Atheros?????)

Install latest firmware for router and then reset it to factory settings if need be after.

Thanks for the help. Have done no.1. Also have disabled/enabled broadcom 440x10/100 integrated controller, dell wireless 1390 wlan mini-card and microsoft virtual wifi miniport adapter in divice manager. Tried again and still the same :(

OK, apologise to all, realised my dad has it set to 1991 as his rover workshop cd will only work if set at that!!!:eek:

Been at 0% complete and not showing estimating time for ages though.

Apologies, I'm not sure what the situation is, is it showing an Internet connection now?
