Half of network not working!

amkell · 03-13-2008, 02:28 AM

I just switched to cable from DSL and my wireless network diappeared on me. I'm using a linksys router and wireless adapter. The computer that is hardwired works fine. I get this message from windows XP, "Windows cannot figure this wireless connection. If you have enabled another program to manage this wireless connection use that software." I installed Norton 360 last week but that's the only other recent change besides the cable modem. Anyone ever see this message before. Thank you, thank you, for helping me!

Uninstall Norton 360, my guess is it will suddenly recover.

For sure the Norton 360 is your culprit. Un-install the POS software.

Thanks but it didn't do the job. I did get help to come here and got it back. Thank you very much.
