Shar,

The message "limited or no connectivity" could have a variety of causes:
- External failure - bad or wrong cable (wired), computer out of range from
router (wireless);
- Hardware failure - dead nic;
- Software failure - bad nic drivers;
- Network corruption - LSP / Winsock corruption;
- Network configuration - DHCP server configured to ignore your MAC address.

Try and tell us what specific remedies you have tried, maybe we can think up
some more for you to try.
