Hello
Hopefully someone on here can help me out with a problem I've been
having with my wireless internet connection (XP SP2, Netgear wireless
card). I've been using a friend's wireless connection for a while, and
it's temperamental but generally fine.
However, a couple of days ago, both Opera and Internet Explorer lost
browser functionality (both acted as if there was no connection
available), but could still send/receive in Outlook and get updates and
the like in other software. Funnily, I found that if I could still use
a normal Windows Explorer window to browse, and the signal strength,
etc, was fine. As of today, however, I can't even get a connection,
despite Network Stumbler (and my friend) showing the usual network to
be running just fine, and there's no security so it can't be that. XP
even lists the network, but when I click to connect to it, nothing
happens. I've run updated versions of virus and spyware checkers and
they've revealed nothing.
Anyone have any ideas (please!!)?
