wireless problems

[Munk100]

I installed LabVIEW 8.5 on my HP Pavilion zv6000, and immediately after installation, I began having  problems with my wireless connection.  BL (before LabVIEW) this laptop connected smoothly and quickly.  Anyone else have similar experiences?

Thanks

I am very sure it has got nothing to do with labVIEW.!!!!

I can't see the relationship either..

And I've never heard (or read in the forum) similar issues.

Thanks for the reply. I did not see how LabVIEW would hose the wireless connection, but the coincidence was unusual. I have the pro development suite including some web-connected apps (data socket and data search engine) installed on the machine.  All of the other laptops on my home network work fine, as do all of the cabled net connections.

Thanks again,

Munk

The laptop to which you installed Labview, does it connect to the network when Labview is not running?

Although unlikely... you may want to uninstall Labview and see if your connection returns.  Do you have the installation on DVD?

Otherwise, I would wait first. 

Have you checked the configuration of the network (route print, ip address) and status of the wireless device (HW Device Manager)?

Define "problems". Are the problems serious?

• Does it still connect, but simply slower?
• Does it no longer connect?
• What did you try to reconnect?
• Can you still browse the wireless networks?
• Anything interesting in the hardware manager?
• Are you using the windows wireless configuration or some third party wireless application?
• Did you install LabVIEW alone or did you also install hardware drivers?
• Did you reboot after installation?
• Is it possible that you also had some windows updated pending? Some of those use a lot of CPU for a long time after the first reboot, possibly delaying the loading of the wireless drivers.
• Scan your HD for errors.
