Wireless USB connection stopped connecting
Anyone have an idea to troubleshoot this problem?
Friend's pc using Netgear USB nic (ma111) stopped connecting with the Netgear wireless router. Other pcs with a wireless connection to the router work. This pc's nic is working properly according to WinMe, WEP encrytion is enabled, pass code is correct but the pc still doesn't connect to the router to obtain a DHCP address or by using a static ip address. This WinMe pc was working properly but it stopped connecting over the weekend. TIA |

I just had a wireless USB key like Netgear's die on me, exhibiting the same
symptoms. It worked fine, then stopped connecting. The computer still shows it as ok and I can still access the options. Part of it fried, I guess. Try connecting it to other computers, then return it if it works on none. Dave "jaster" wrote in message news Anyone have an idea to troubleshoot this problem?

I don't know if trying the NIC on another machine was done yet. "jaster" wrote in message news Anyone have an idea to troubleshoot this problem?

Plugging into another slot on the same box will not work unless setup is run again. ------- Fight back! http://tinyurl.com/hhez |
