Wireless internet problem, what does this mean?
    #7434459 - 09/20/07 09:49 PM (16 years, 4 months ago)

Out of the blue one day my laptop wouldn't connect to the internet. What's weird is that the Netgear software I use to connnect is able to make the connection fine, but then Windows gives me the error message that it can't connect.

From that message it gives me the option to repair the connection, which I do, to only get another message stating that it could not finish repairing the problem because it can't renew my IP address.

What do I do?

Turn all modems, routers, and computers (connected to them) off for about a minute. Plug the modems back in first then turn on the computer. It's called power cycling and I find it helps a lot of "out of the blue" connection problems.

Tried that already.

And actually, it may not have been out of the blue exactly. My girlfriend uses this computer and she has a way of screwing things up on a computer without any idea of how she did it.

Nevermind, I fixed it. I swear I tried this before and it didn't work, but reinstalling the network card software fixed it.

Sometimes if you have this error, it can be resolved by going into device manager (Press 'WindowsKey' and 'Pause' button at same time then click DEVICE MANAGER). Go under Network Adapters, disable the network adapter giving you issues, then re-enable it. This will solve some issues.

That would probably done the same thing that you did, disable and re-enable the hardware.
