Wlan not connecting - Sony VAIO VGN-FZ250E/B Notebook

Hi there
Select Menu > Ctrl. panel > Connectivity > WLAN wiz..
The WLAN wizard helps you to connect to a wireless LAN (WLAN) and manage your WLAN connections.
If the search finds WLANs, to create an internet access point (IAP) for a connection and start the web browser using this IAP, select the connection and Start web browsing.
If you select a secured WLAN, you are asked to enter the relevant password. To connect to a hidden network, you must enter the correct network name (service set identifier, SSID).

I also found the full manual in pdf format which you can download from here

Good luck

Hello

Disable firewall settings to check if it doesn't block connection.

1) Update the WLan driver. In most cases this solves connections issues.

2) Go to device manger -> WLan card -> Properties -> Advanced tab and check if the WLan modus 802.11 B/G or N has been set to the same Wlan modules supported by router!

3) Disable the WLan encryption and password on the router and check if you could connect to the router without any security settings. Do this only for testing purposes. If it connects properly, enable the encryption password and try again.

4) Disable WLan power saving! This can be done in Win Power Management. If that doesn't work, perform a system restore, set your computer to how it was the last time you were on the internet.

Hi, pls verify below steps,
1.Whether WLAN switched on and has a good WLAN coveage. 2.Security settings on WLAN options
- Check the security modes (Open/WEP/WEP2 - this depends on your WLAN connection) - Check Security settings (Public shared Key settings)
3.You have to be a authorized user in WLAN network if it requires authentication login. 4.Open the browser on you mobile and select General->Connection->Always Ask, then it will prompt for the connection type, Select WLAN.
Thanks, Ramaly

f Active Standby is activated on your Cell, your WLAN connection status is always visible from standby mode. The bottom line of the screen shows your WLAN status. If there are no wireless networks in the area, you'll see the message 'No WLAN network found'. If you're near a WLAN that you're not connected to, you'll see the message 'WLAN name found'.

To log on to this network, simply highlight the WLAN status line and press the centre selection key. You'll see three options:

• Start Web browsing
• Search for WLAN
• Switch WLAN scan off

If the WLAN has detected then cell will open, unprotected network (and needs no passcode to access) then simply highlight Start Web browsing and press the centre selection key to go to your Bookmarks page and start browsing the web.
Hope this helps

Your device can detect and connect to wireless local area networks (WLAN). Using a WLAN, you can connect your device to the internet. To use a WLAN connection, you must create an internet access point (IAP) for the WLAN. Use the access point for applications that need to connect to the internet.
Use the WLAN wizard to create an access point
1. You can access the WLAN wizard directly from your home screen's information area. Another way to get to the WLAN wizard is to select Menu > Connectivity > WLAN wizard.
2. If the search finds WLANs, you can create an internet access point - scroll to the connection, select Options > Start web browsing. If you select a secured WLAN, you will be asked to enter the relevant password. To connect to a hidden network, you must enter the correct network name (service set identifier, SSID).
3. To end the active connection, select the connection > Options and Exit. If you want to define whether you want to use the WLAN or packet data connection when starting to browse the web, you can set it so that the device always asks which access point is to be used.


Set up an access point inquiry when you open the browser
1. Select Options > Settings.
2. Select General > Access point, and from Always ask - You always get to select which access point you use.

Activate and connect to a WLAN
1.In range of WLAN network, access an application or menu that needs a wireless connection.
2.On the Home screen, press <Start> → <More> → Settings → Connections → More... → Wi-Fi.
3.Press <Menu> → Turn On Wi-Fi.
The device will display available WLAN connections.
4.Select a network profile from the list.
The device will attempt to connect to the WLAN.
5.Select a network type and press <Next>.
6.Enter a pre-shared key for WLAN and press <Next> or <Finish>.
7.Set the IEEE 802.1x access option and the extensible authentication protocol (EAP) type and press <Finish> (if necessary).


Create a new WLAN
1.On the Home screen, press <Start> → <More> → Settings → Connections → More... → Wi-Fi.
2.Select New...
3.Enter a network name, configure connection settings, and press <Next>.
4.Enter network authentication settings and press <Next>.
5.Set the IEEE 802.1x access option and the extensible authentication protocol (EAP) type (if necessary).
6.When you are finished, press <Finish>.

setup Internet access point for WLAN menu>tool>settings>connections>access points select options>new access points Enter Connection name Data bearer: select Wireless LAN WLAN network name: select search wlan to select wlan in range. network status: select "public" if you can see wlan in range WLAN network mode: select infrs or adhoc WLAN security mode: select same settings used by WLAN access point WLAN security settings: Homepage: select the homepage you want
now you can connect & browse the internet. hope this helps

Did you input the WEP key? I will assume you are using Windows XP. So go to control panel, network connections and then go to the wireless connection and then select view wireless connections double click on the one with the highest strength, which should be your 2wire. When it asks for the network security key type in the numbers that are located on the sticker on the bottom of your router between the [########] brackets.

1) Verify if Wi-Fi WLAN interface of your notebook is OK.
1a) Check whether HW switch is ON and the wireless system service is running.
1b) Switch on the WLAN Access Point (router) SSID broadcasting.
1c) Scan WLAN networks by the notebook. Can you see your home WLAN? If not, there is HW or SW problem in your wireless adapter probably. If WLAN is visible, continue by next steps.

2) Remove all WLAN security on both sides (AP and notebook): Authentication = none/open, encrytption = none.
3) Activate DHCP server in the router and set the dynamic IP assigning on WLAN notebook interface.
4) Select your home WLAN SSID in the list and try to connect.
5) Wait and check status. Is WLAN connected? Does obtain the notebook an IP address?
6) In success case set the WLAN security.
