Unable to connect the PC via Wireless to wireless router...no error messages...unable to complete wireless wizard(setup) for access point

Unable to connect the PC via Wireless to wireless router...no error messages...unable to complete wireless wizard(setup) for access point

Cause: IPv4 and IPv6 unable to autoconfigure with the wireless devices..

Resolution:
1. Disable IPv6 in VistaAdd a ‘DisabledComponents’ DWORD registry key to Tcpip6 parameters set value to FF - This disables IPv6 on all your interfaces and connections, but does not disable the IPv6 loopback interface:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip6\Parameters\DisabledComponents

Restart your computer…

2. Reset WinSock and TCP/IP Stack
Open a Command Prompt as administrator:
Reset WINSOCK entries:
netsh winsock reset catalog

Reset TCP/IP stack: netsh int ip reset reset.log
Reboot the machine (you can run both commands first, I tend to put multiple commands in notepad and then copy and paste into the command window).

3. Renew your IPConfigure your IP settings, whether static or dynamic, and we’re done
