Hi,
For some reason, my network was working fine for the first few weeks.
I am on a wireless network with no WEP security, so I just pick up the
signal and surf the web.
One day, I stopped getting a signal. I tried to disable my wireless
card and enabling it again. Nothing works. No signal at all..
Strange thing is that other people in the house pick up a signal just
fine. I tried to restart the router and the modem. No dice. Its
only my laptop.
I dont know what to do-- this happened to my desktop once, I had to
use the system restore feature to roll it back a few days.. that did
the trick, but im having no luck this time around.
I remember only installing Symantec Antivirus that weekend.. I dont
know why that would do anything to hinder my network connection. I
try plugging in a network wire into my laptop as well, still no luck.
It says its plugged in, but does not pick up any info from DHCP.
help ?
The only thing I can think of is to reinstall windows... but I dont
have my windows CD with me.. so im trying to find a way to fix it...
drivers maybe? why would i need new drivers when its been working fine
... I really have no idea...
thanks..
