    Default Computer gurus! My wireless....

    My wireless just stopped working. Theres a little switch on the front of my computer to turn it on or off. When off the light is orange, when on its blue. Now it wont turn blue anymore. It just stopped working yesterday. And I tried to re-set up wireless and the computer said it doesnt work with the router I have from the cable company tho this router has worked fine with it for the last year! Whats going on?!

    My router goes crazy all the time, I don't know what is with it. The first thhing I do is unplug both of my routers and turn my laptop and the desktop off. I plug back in road runner router and wait for it to restart, then I plug back in my wireless. Sometimes it takes me 2 times for my wireless to restart.

    If that don't work, unplug both routers again and turn off your firewalls. Replug them back in and see if it works.

    If neither of those work, I don't know.

    Hope I helped and good luck

    There are several things you might want to check before you get rid of the laptop

    1) If you have windows xp go to

    start
    rightclick "mypc"
    properties
    Hardware tab
    device manager
    click on the + next to network adapters
    Does the Wifi Adapter show and is so does it show with a yellow question mark

    let me know so we can work from there

    you can reach me at msn messenger email [email protected]
    or you can skype me at domwolf or yahoo me at domwolf2004

    glad to help
