Wireless network adapter problem

[Matt]

Recently my wireless network adapter has been acting up. Sometimes it won't
get the connection so I will do repair the connection, but I will get a
message saying that Windows cannot repair the connection because it cannot
disable the network adapter and to make sure that adapter is properly
installed. If I go to disable it all together, it says it may be using more
than one plug and play protocols and that it cannot disable it. So I went to
reinstall the driver. I successfuly uninstalled it, and when I rebooted and
Windows brought up the add new hardware wizard, I installed the driver from
the location from where I downloaded it from. It appeared to be successfuly
installed, but now when I go to connect to my wireless network, it says I
have limited or no connectivity. I get a good signal, but I can't connect to
any web pages. I'm not sure what to do. Any help is appreciated. Its a
Broadcom 802.11bg internal wireless network adapter.

Have you recently installed any anti-virus or firewall programs? If so, they
maybe blocking access. norton anti-virus did this to me and you can run a
wizard in the program to let it have access to the internet and router. Hope
this helps.

Matt,

Did you get your problem resolved, I'm having the same issue with my
Dell running XP PRO

I have the same problem too, here is what I do to work around the problem
until I can find a fix.

I found that I could Enable and Disable using the following steps:

1. Start
2. Right click My Computer
3. Select “Propertiesâ€
4. Select “Hardwareâ€
5. Select “Device Managerâ€
6. Find “Network adaptorsâ€
7. Click the “+†sign to open the folder
8. Right click your adaptor and select either “Enable†or “Disableâ€
