I have a thinkpad laptop (T41) running XP Pro.
In the past month or so, I have been having a problem when traveling. When I
am in a hotel which has a wireless network, although my laptop can "see" the
network as an available wireless network, i am unable to access the internet.
When I go to command prompt and type "ipconfig", I get the following error
message:"An internal error occurred. A device attached to the system is not
functioning. Please contact Microsoft Product Support Services for further
help. Additional information: unknown media status code." Yet when I go into
device manager, it says that my wireless network adapter is working properly.
Today, I am at home and I am wirelessly retrieving files from my other
computers and accessing the internet, but I just determined that I am getting
the same error message as the one I typed above when I go into command prompt
and type "ipconfig". Note that I am getting the message even though I am
quite obviously connected to the network and am able to access the internet.
Does this make sense to anyone?
I need to leave for a business trip tomorrow and it is critical that I be
able to access my email.
