    Lost Wireless Connectivity -- Help!

    Yes, all good thoughts, but I am confident no changes were made on client side. I've now got the router in a different location (my office) and am successfully communicating wirelessly to the 4th machine which uses an exteranl usb orinoco adapter. Link test showed 11mbs with no packet loss as...

    Lost Wireless Connectivity -- Help!

    I know from using the Michael Erskine parabolic reflector trick that the focal point is critical. Yeah, I've played with these an awful lot as well (recomend them highly). I wanted to elimnate the reflector as a variable. So I removed it, and sat literally 3 feet away from the router with my...

    Lost Wireless Connectivity -- Help!

    I've been running two wired and two wireless machines from a netgear MR 814 router without problem. Shortly after my kid kind of moved the router around (but didn't seem to harm anything) I suddenly had a connection that was a crawl. On the one wireless machine with W98 I have the Orinoco...

    Cannot Use Internet From XP -- Despite Connecting ?!

    Yes, yes! Thanks! I came upon the same thing in both 95/98 many moons ago and (after much research) discovered the fix to be deleting winsock2 from the registry, then removing DUN, and adding it back again (which rebuilds winsock2). But I couldn't see the analogous fix for xp; but it...

    Corrupt vxd files

    My HP 2755 has a strange problem: when I boot it hangs at the HP splash screen before anything even loads. If I unplug it and replug it in (no reset button), it will boot normally and run fine. It will also shut down normally, but then will not boot up again as above. If I boot in Safe Mode...

    WIN 98SE ICS (TIRED SUBJECT?)

    turns out that my problem was a result of my provider using PPPoE ADSL. after much pain, i discovered that in the ics wizard on setup, at the dialog which asks you to choose the network adapter you use to connect to the internet, you must choose the "connectoid" --not your DSL...

    WIN 98SE ICS (TIRED SUBJECT?)

    thanks for response w98user but just a clarification for posterity... a. ICS needs to be uninstalled from the previous host. b. uninstall, reboot and reinstall ICS to your new client. c. rerun the ICS setup on your client machines. ICS only gets installed to the server. It should not be...

    Scottsdude, Found the chip with number on it and plugged that into google. Lotta false leads --lotta people post drivers but just post the .drv file-- which I couldn't get windows to load: wants the *.inf file. Eventually at the SiS site, with a little guessing, found which drivers belonged...

    I HAD TO FORMAT MY "C" DRIVE AND I

    I've got the same problem as spencemeister only worse -- I have an audio controller and a video adapter on a MOBO in a clone I bought used at CompUSA. Had to format c: and now I'm stuck in quiet and 16 colors. Downloaded a couple utilities that are supposed to ID the MOBO but all I can get out...
