  <p>I disabled and re-enabled it many times. Still no clue whats goin wrong I always get the error saying</p>
  <p>&quot;C:\Windows\system32&gt;netsh wlan start hostednetwork
  The hosted network couldn't be started.
  A device attached to the system is not functioning.&quot;</p>
  <p>The commands before that are running perfectly. The virtual adapter and everything is also enabled.</p>
  <pre><code>netsh wlan show hostednetwork
  </code></pre>
  <p>C:\Windows\system32&gt; netsh wlan show hostednetwork</p>
  <h2>Hosted network settings</h2>
  <pre><code>Mode                   : Allowed
  SSID name              : &quot;Lathiyas&quot;
  Max number of clients  : 100
  Authentication         : WPA2-Personal
  Cipher                 : CCMP
  </code></pre>
  <h2>Hosted network status</h2>
  <pre><code>Status                 : Not started
  </code></pre>
  <p>Then tried stopping the hostednetwork and tried again still the same error. I think there is some problem with the drivers. Dell N5010 Windows 7-32bit system. Please help.</p>
