Computer Model: HP Pavilion dv6000 (dv6131od)
Operating System: Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit
Network Adapter: Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG
Driver Version: 13.4.0.139
Until Thursday of this week, I was able to connect to the building's unsecured wireless network. I had internet and local for the connection. After that day, while I can still connect to the network on this computer, I cannot get on the internet. The router is a NETGEAR.
On Friday, in order to get internet, I have been using my phone at a wireless hotspot. On this same computer, I can connect to it with no problem. It is a secure network, using WEP encryption.
I thought it may have something to do with the building's wifi. However, other devices are able to connect and use its internet just fine. On this same phone, I can connect to the building's WIFI, and it has no problem accessing the internet using the wireless connection, either.
I have reinstalled multiple different drivers for the wireless adapter, to the latest one I have now. I was able to connect to the network's wireless, but still have the same problem. During one of the reinstalls, I had limited internet for some time (Google Search, Facebook), but could not get on other sites. After a restart, I am no longer able to connect to the internet on this wifi connection.
Another option I have tried is to reset WINSOCK. After doing a "netsh winsock reset" and restarting, my problem still has not been solved.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
