I am not a computer wiz by any means. The
other day I was connecting to my home wireless
network and it was acting slow. I decided to
disconnect my computer from the wireless network and
then connect again. Normally I do this just by
pressing the button on my Hp Pavillion and it
does the trick. For some reason, this time, I
clicked disconnect from the Wireless Network Connection
2 window and I have not been able to connect
to the internet since. I tried looking for a way
to get it back but I just can not find how
to do this. This is where I need help! I
would really love to get back on the internet
without being tied down to one spot. Any help
would be great. If it helps, I also have a
Linksys Wireless-G Broadband router (it is blue)...
nothing special since I am just a house mom.
Thanks in advance!

Does your router's SSID (name) show up when you
choose connect to to see the list of
available wifi networks?
If so, what message do you get when you try
to connect? ____________________

Sounds like some bug that makes the laptop's wifi
ignore networks after you've disconnected from them.
You might need to reset your router, or give it
a new SSID, so that your laptop won't ignore
it.
Sometimes when you bang your head against the
wall, the wall breaks first. ____________________

| Thanks! Just to let everyone know (just in case
they run into the same problem), to fix it I
changed the server name of my wireless and then
unpluged it for a momment and then plugged it
back in. It was really simple... thanks for your
help! |
