Ordered IP addressses for all connectins ipconfig renew, release all that stuff disabled firewall completely, still nothing. ISP escalated to level 2 for $99 but I am trying to avaoid paying for it. 2 pc's one is working running vista. XP laptop not. Router connections are great. I just cant get the laptop online. Received an error that win 32 etc..... needed to close, but I didn't catch the error. I believe it was the networking service though 32 net k or something..1 person needs an answerI do too

HiIs connecting to the Router means that you can out the Router's core IP to the browser and log into the Router's menus?My gues is that you do not have a vaild connetion with the Wireless router.Maybe this can Help, http://www.ezlan.net/wireless.html Jack-MVP Windows Networking. WWW.EZLAN.NET

This sound similar to a problem I've got. I have an XP desktop wirelessly connected (most of the time with a good or very good signal). If I connect to the internet i get at most 10 minutes use before IE7 'cannot display page'. If I run the diagnostic it fails to re-enable the network adapter, and then the wireless connection is gone. Similar thing if I try to work on a shared file on the other PC: try to save it 10 minutes or more after opening it, and you get 'network path not found'. Tech support have had me redefine the connection, checking DNS and DHCP settings, check ipconfig, ping the router from XP, run through all the channels on the router, and finally decided my registry may have been damaged by a clean up utility or uninstalling AdAware, so suggested I run winsockxpfix. No improvement. Had a look through the stuff on the site Jack mentioned, but can't see any new things to try. Needless to say the wired PC has no problem with internet connection, or I couldn't write this.....

Not exactly sure what the problem was. However this is what i did and I am up and running. netsh int reset resetlog.txt in ms dos. I also went through a few winsock fixes, and found a file corruption in the winsock and winsock 32 registry. I found the fix on forums for microsoft, and then went through regedit and deleted both winsock and winsock 32 registry. I guess my ip wasn't allowing the connection. Thanks for everyones help, and I'm glad i saved $99 to have my isp fix it remotely. Check out Microsoft Security Essentials also and Live one care, I found 17 bugs, and 2 other registry errors. Free malware and antivirus, it probably coulld have saved me all of this in the first place. Thanks again!
