the issue is not likely to
be with your computer,
but with the wireless
router or the modem
or their connections.
you should have a cross
over cable connected
between the router and
the modem.
go to the router's home
site and see what the faq's
are for the issue you are
experiencing.
there is however a
way to test the connectivity.
but you would have to
use physical ethernet cables
to test your equipment.
firstly, you can test the modem
by plugging it into your wall
and directly to the computer
using a regular ethernet cable
and "not" the special cross over
cable.
if the above does not work, then
you have narrowed down the
problem to either a problem
with your modem or with your
computer.
but if the above does work and
your computer and modem are
communicating, then you have
eliminated the modem and your
pc as the problem.
the next test is to connect the
modem to the router with the
cross over cable and then the
router to the computer with a
standard ethernet cable.
both the router and your pc
should have ethernet ports
to plug these types of cables
into them.
if you do get a stable connection
with your equipment being hard
wired, then you have narrowed
down the problem.
