Hello Sweetgirl,

All you will have to is to use your Driver CD, and install the WIFI device driver on the laptop!

Or you can download the driver from the HP official WEBSITE:

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/pfinder?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&tool=&query=+HP+dv6000

Select the exact model of your laptop and download the driver needed

Thanks

thanks for your help fea_ture. I don't know if I just really don't know what i'm doing or what but i downloaded the Broadcam Wireless LAN Driver for microsoft windows vista and did the whole setup and everything. I restarted my computer and nothing changed......so i dunno if i did something wrong or if it just didn't work. Do you have any other suggestions? I am at a loss and just not sure what to do now....??

ok......so i checked in my device management..........and checked under network adapters and the only thing under it is NVIDIA nForce 10/100 mbps Ethernet. It didn't have a yellow question mark or anything. so i clicked on it and chose properties and it said device is working properly. I had it check for updates and update driver. I thought maybe it would work after that but.....nothing. I guess I am really dumb or something. Please help if you can! Thanks!

Hai sweetgirl,

If u cant see the wireless card in device manager, then the system is unable to detect the card. May be the problem is with wireless card. Have u notice the taskbar? hav u seen the icon same like lan adapter? k, if u have the warranty, then u deal with HP. if possible mail ur system configuration to my mail ID. sathishkumar.hweng@gmail.com.

Bye
