(Solved) why win xp could not decode to actual pw, when win seven does show
Boggin:
You haven't answered if you've been able to connect with this device before.
Bluetooth is normally used to connect to other devices and to enable WiFi on the computer where a card isn't fitted, you would normally use a wireless dongle.
I've never come across someone using a Bluetooth dongle to this end before.
Did you edit out the DHCP IPv4 address from the ipconfig ?

Hi, Yes .
i never used this blue tooth device for connecting to wireless devices. I used bluetooth only to copy files from computer to mobile.
when i click manage wireless connection, thro search, it is said that it is not enabled. what is meant by that. Of course, there is a switch on the modem back to enable this. Should i power on the switch.
If i power off, and try with laptop connection, it is connecting thro settings in the router page.
i do not know much about that switch , which is on and off switch, should i switch on that switch to get that enabled. I am new to the switch part.
yes , i just edited the prefered ip number

Hi, by default, the wireless is on thro the modem settings. If by switch off , the wireless lights off with external play. There is one more switch wps, i do not know what to do with it. Is it wireless power switch.
But when wireless is connected , the computer should see it ok.
why it does not see it, and how to work around this problem.
when i open the manage wireless settings , it says that it is not enabled. how to enable. I have the settings made in router pages for both bb and wireless connection as normal
Boggin:
You would normally enable a device in Device Manager by right clicking on it and selecting Enable, but I didn't see any evidence that it was disabled as that would normally have put a black downward pointing arrow next to it.
As I've said, I've never known anyone using a Bluetooth dongle to enable WiFi on their computer but have a look through that Bluetooth set up article I've linked to see if you have it set up correctly - it isn't a Plug and Play and needs additional settings to get it to work.

I have never tried blue tooth to set up wireless connection for laptop or computer . it is a dongle like pendrive which could be plugged or unplugged.
I went to manage wireless settings to see that wireless not enabled. I went to services.msc and then went to wlan auto config, i set it to automatic from manual . Still, i could not find any wireless settings in the tray or network settings.
how to enable the wireless in windows seven
