Media State.........Media Disconnected

amlprod · 06-04-2008, 03:33 AM

I recently disconnected a Netgear WG111v2 wireless USB adaptor from my laptop (worked fine) and transfered it to my sons computer, which had a limited connection. After fiddling around with it and installing network magic it worked.

I bought a new Netgear WG111v3 Wireless USB Adaptor which i intended to replace the one on my sons. However he connected the new adaptor and installed the software to the laptop.

The modem is a Netgear DG834G modem/router.

I have tried to connect the laptop many times and although the system detects the wireless connection it will not connect. The router has WEP security enabled and i have transfered the key and even dissabled the secuirty to no avail.

Renewing the ip hasnt worked nor has "release".

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

hold down the windows key and press "r". then type "cmd" and hit enter. a command prompt should appear. type ipconfig/all and post the results here.
