PC Wireless card won't connect to the Net

Raymond1171 · 12-01-2007, 06:18 PM

I have a Dell 8100 (PC #3) using a Trendnet wireless adapter. PC #1 is on the router and PC #2 works fine with it's Trendnet PC card. PC#3 gives a green light 100% strong signal read, but it won't connect to the Internet. Details show that PC3 is sending packets, but not receiving packets. I've run network diagnostics which gives the following failures:
1. Failed renewing IP address.
2. Failed refreshing all DHCP leases & re-registering DNS names.

Anybody have this issue? Thanks.

Does PC3 connect with a wired connection?

Negative. I tried to connect via the LAN but it didn't work.

TCP/IP stack repair options for use with Windows XP with SP2.

Start, Run, CMD to open a command prompt:

Reset TCP/IP stack to installation defaults. netsh int ip reset reset.log

Reset WINSOCK entries to installation defaults: netsh winsock reset catalog

Reboot the machine.

Sorry, JW, but I got identical error messages using those commands, error code 10107-failed to reset.

Any suggestions? Thanks for helping.
