  Hi there,

  I have all the same probs as you. I have a HP dv, and it has the isatap with a exclamation mark, and my wireless connection keeps dropping out. Hope someone can help soon this problem is driving me crazy. I found the following info on another forum

  "And if there is any unidentified devices with yellow mark. Check if your wireless button in the front is blue Coz, DV s are known to have this issue.. specially NBs manufactured with IntelPro and BroadCom Wireless Cards. I can tell you this coz, I am an Hewlett Packerd Employee. So If u see the card not to be there, immidiately call your support line.. Coz Its definately HW issue.. If That Seems to Be OK, Then Your Problem is one of the vista Issues that Millions across the globe are facing.. I had the "Access Local Only" problem on my system too.. Now here are a few things u can try after instaling and uninstalling every things.. Go to the Link.. bharathealthcares.com#Support"

  It's not exclusive to the HP, my Acer Travelmate suddenly dropped it's connection the other day. I found that once the connection is up, it's ok, but God forgive you if you turn your comp off or let it go into standby
  After trying MS, Acer and O2 (my service provider) diagnostics I resorted to a complete rebuild.  It hadn't dawned on me to look at the device manager, d'oh!
  Having done all that, I finally got round to the device manager and there were 2 instances of ISATAP xxxx
  Disabling didn't work, uninstalling worked after a reboot - once!
  Looking across numerous forums it seems it's widespread across many makes and models.  I've also read that ver xxx works, but all the download sites I've tried won't download or shove me back to the MS download centre, which in turn only has papers about implementation.
  ARRGGHHHHH
  
  Any further advice would be wonderful!
  cheers

  I have the same issue. Not only is the Microsoft ISATAP adapter showing an exclamation mark, but so is everything under Network Adapters (except for Bluetooth Device and NVIDIA Network controller). I also noticed that the Broadcom AG wi-fi adapter is missing from Device Manager, but I do see it on the Add/Remove programs application, so I'm guessing it is still installed. However, once the exclamation marks appeared, which was today, my wireless connection got lost. I tried Search for Wireless Networks on Networks and Sharing, but got nothing, just Bluetooth. I cannot connect via WiFi at all; I can only access the internet by ethernet cable. I also have an HP laptop in which this is taking place; mine is a Pavilion TX I have had it for a year, and this had never happened to me. I thought it occured because earlier I was changing enabling and disabling startup programs to better the performance on my PC, but I don't recall disabling anything related to wireless or network connections, just the typical apps like AIM and MSN. I hope someone can resolve this or try to help and not say "Ignore the problem" because I can't in my case
