[SOLVED] internet stopped working

ericman45 · 02-25-2007, 03:25 PM

Hey,

I have a laptop and a desktop that both were working fine and connecting to the internet. I tried to set up a wireless network so i could print from my laptop. WHen i went to the wireless network wizard on the desktop and then my internet stopped working on my laptop. I tried setting up the wireless network on my laptop but it still will not work. I can see my wireless connection on my laptop but it just wont connect. I know its something really simple but i cannot seem to find it.

Thankyou for any help

Eric

Well, we need to know the make/model of the modem, router, as well as the wireless hardware on the machine. Are both machines wireless? Next, the version/patch level of Windows. Finally, the exact symptoms you see. Do you see a wireless network and can't connect? Did you change the encryption settings?
