Wireless NIC issue

T

Tristan Leask

Hi all,

I have two wireless NICS that are identical. One is installed in my
computer, the other in my house mates. My house mates card just stopped
working yesterday, so i retrieved it and then installed it in mine to see if
it was okay (disabled mine first). Sure enough, the card still works as i
connected to the network okay. What could have happened on my house mates
computer? He says he hasn't installed anything which leads me to think that
the network layer has gone tits up for that card as we can use his wired NIC
with no problems. The computer is running Windows XP home SP2.

Has anyone got any ideas?

Cheers

Tristan

I would try a different PCI slot or USB port (depending on which one you are
using) in the computer. Could be a problem with that slot/port. Then I
would check the drivers in his computer, maybe download the latest just to
be sure.
