Wireless connection isn't working

Elaine Onstine · 11-24-2006, 08:17 AM

I have recently purchased a new laptop computer that has wireless capability. I have purchased a router and configured it and it has been working fine. I was on the internet last night for a while then went to bed. I shut my computer off as i normally do. I got up this morning and it says that no wireless connection is available. I know that the connection is fine because we have two laptops in the house the the other is about to access the internet wirelessly. I am hoping this is an easy fix. If anybody could help me i would appreciate it very much.
Thankyou, Elaine

Try a repair of the wireless connection. If that fails, let's go for the complete stack reset.

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

For these commands, Start, Run, CMD to open a command prompt.

Reset WINSOCK entries to installation defaults: netsh winsock reset catalog

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