Dan,

I am sure you tried all this but:

Under the Network Connections > Your Wireless Card>Properties check and make sure you are using DHCP ( if you are)

Then under Start>Run>CMD> Ipconfig make sure you are getting real ip addresses. Your wifi router should be in 192.168.x.xxx range. If you have a valid IP address try pinging something. If you see a 169.xx.xxx.xx address with 255.255.0.0. subnet you know you don't have a valid address.

You can use ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew to reset you connection under the command prompt

Make sure a cordless phone is not in the way. The older ones use the same spectrum

You should be able to download the driver from the web

What virus blocker? That could cause problems. Open you task manager > processes and see if you still see part of it running.

Just some double checking.

I have done that several times as I tested things out. One problem was a
virus blocker restricted Internet access. That has been turned off and now
will not let me uninstall it.


Reload the driver for the wireless card.

They are about 500 miles south of me so that will wait for a few days.
