Cannot connect to Internet

[gcoil828]

I have a fresh Vista install [but on unsupported hardware, Dell OptiPlex 9010 All In One]. I am on Windows Vista x64 Ultimate [unactivated] with Extended Kernel and SP2. I've tested everything from replacing the driver with Windows 7's version to even uninstalling the kernel [it still doesn't work without the kernel] and drivers. Nothing works.
What happens is:
When I plug in my network adapter, it says wireless networks are available and I attempt to connect to one.
But, when I do so, it says its unable to connect and when I run the debugger it just says the issue is unknown.
If I manually enter the password when I use the utility that came with the adapter, it says that it's because the password is incorrect and something is wrong with the network, despite entering the correct password.
Windows 7, 8.1 and 10 work fine, nothing IS wrong with the network.

3 drivers fail at startup, and on the topic too, Vista crashes without Kernel Debugging enabled.

Here is my ntbtlog.sys log:

Did you try asking as suggested here?-

Finding the correct WiFi driver for my Dell OptiPlex 9010 All-In-One

I [apparently] have a Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6235 according to my properties in Windows 7, but I can't find a compatible driver installer. When I run the designated driver installer or install it manually, it says no device like it is connected. I vividly remember the WLAM 1530 halfcard, but...

Let us know if you get solutions to any of your problems with Vista there.

No responses so far..

Windows Vista - WiFi networks show up, can't connect though + Another issue

Networks show, but I can't connect I also get a error of "802.11 connection failed to due to unknown reason" and Ping error -1231. Any fixes? I'm using a Realtek wifi dongle. The networks show but I can't connect due to an "unknown" error.

Hi gcoil828:

I assume you're posting in the MS Answers Vista board as user Toby Winters. If so your evasive, flippant response <here> to Moderator Bill Smithers' questions isn't going to help your cause.

I suggest you post back in your MSFN topic and provide further information, including your computer model (be sure to point out that Dell dos not provide Vista-compatible drivers for the OptiPlex 9010 All In One), your wireless adapter make and model (which I believe is an Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6235), the model of your Realtek USB WiFi dongle (which I don't recall you mentioning in this forum), and details about what you've done so far to patch your newly installed 64-bit Vista SP2 OS.

At the moment I'm completely confused about the current state of your Vista SP2 OS, because from what I can gather from all your various posts is that you have an unlicensed / unactivated copy of Vista, no way to access the internet via a cable because there is no Ethernet port near your computer's current location, and that you might have already installed Win32's experimental extended kernel before you patched your Vista SP2 OS (which implies you've applied the KB948465 standalone installer for Service Pack 2) back to end of extended support on 11-Apr-2017.
