Hello everyone. Nice board you have hear. Lots of good stuff to read through.
:D
Heres my problem, I just got my new replacement laptop about 2 weeks ago. Its a compaq presario v6000 with vista business on it. I am sharing a wireless internet connection with my buddy in the next apt and all seemed to be fine untill two days ago. I was online tooling away for awhile and then left the laptop for about an hour. I came back and found I have no connection. So I reset my connection,made sure I was in range,used the repair function,restarted the laptop,ping was good,brought the laptop into my buddies apt for a stronger signal,and finally reformatted the whole thing, all to no avail:confused: The laptop is reading the signal as I have 4 or 5 different networks in my building I can pick up-signal is good,we reset his router,its not a security enabled network, At one point while running the repair function it said something to the effect of "My DNS cannot read the IP" (sorry for the loose wording as i dont have my laptop with me)
Hopefully thats enough info for some of the gurus here to give me some ideas. Anything would be appreciated.
Again, really cool site guys.
