Re: Wireless Hell!
 

If you are using a router you DO NOT use the Virgin Disc, it will have 0 effect and only ever possibly needs using once when the service is first installed. Try uninstalling the wireless card in device manager and rebooting, this will reload the drivers for it resetting any settings that go with it, allowing you to reconnect to the wireless network and re-entering the key etc. I find most of the time this fixes these sorts of problems HTH :)q

Internal! Have uninstalled and reinstalled, updated drivers, and deleted from network and started from scratch!!!! NOTHING!

Could it be viral?

Re: Wireless Hell!
 

Doubt it, though it could be an overprotective firewall, have seen that happen before. Are you using anything other than the windows firewall?

Re: Wireless Hell!
 

Have zonealarm and AVG running, bur running just as it was before all this happened!

Re: Wireless Hell!
 

You could try uninstalling ZA.

But you must download the removal toll from there site otherwise your computer will get no conection as ZA will think it has be removed by dodgy means.

It is a good safety feature, but a pain when you want to remove it.

Re: Wireless Hell!
 

In my experience with Zone Alarm that means nothing.

For your wireless are you using windows networking or manufacturer supplied config utility?

Re: Wireless Hell!
 

SORTED!!!!!! I dont know what happened....but I was continually trying to connect to the original wireless network, with the networks original name and password. I changed to a new name and password, and it's woking like a dream! I Wander why the old network name quit? Could somebody have tapped into it?

THANKYOU ALL FOR YOUR HELP AND ADVICE! I've learn't tons in the last twelve hours!

Re: Wireless Hell!
 

if you had the default name running then i wouldnt be surprised if some ones got the same router as you ;) near by
