Tooj 17 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Now i've been a USB user for many years, and tried to change over to ethernet to set up a wireless network in me home, and last night all appeared fine i could connect to the internet using Ethernet and what not, but now when i try today before setting up the network i can't connect at all when i plug in the ethernet adapters and it just trys to find a signal to connect to some LAN that doesn't exist basically and doesn't recognise my standard connection. If that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt 0 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 What sort of setup have you got? Modem and wireless access point/router or all in one modem/router? Could be that your broadcast ID is off and for some reason your PC has decided to forget the connection details. You'd need to re-enable the broadcast to re-connect. Have you tried right clicking on the network symbol in the system tray (as you've shown above) and selecting 'view available networks' (or words to that effect)? See what networks are listed and hopefully yours should be one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that broadcast ID is the case mate how would i go about sorting that out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted August 30, 2006 Author Share Posted August 30, 2006 It's NTL broadband if that's any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted August 30, 2006 Author Share Posted August 30, 2006 It would appear this is a rather common problem. http://www.forum.digitalspy.co.uk/board/sh...323#post1856323 http://www.expansys.com/forumthread.asp?code=107945&thread=4 http://www.liquidninjas.com/bbs/archive/index.php?t-955.html http://www.network-builders.com/t24760-ntl...ction-help.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 0 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 You'll need to log in to your router and check the wireless settings. Get a few screenshots if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
