1198543 2011-04-30 22:03:00 OK that did not work
I'm going to take this from the top very carefully ... to try to explain the Problem.
I run NetCom wireless in the house. There are 2 PC's and one laptop. 1 PC is connected by ethernet...direct cable to the router. PC2 connects wirelessly and is working normally. The laptop also connects wirelessly, but the room where it is normally used is at the outer range of the wireless. I purchased a range extender and tried to install it yesterday to boost the signal for the laptop.
Thats when the problem started. The the extender appeared to work, created an extension and was giving 5 bars, great I thought!... easy as....
But I could not access the internet from the laptop through the extended connection. Thinking I had done something wrong I deleted the new connection, reset the extender and tried again. Same prob.
So, thinking I would need to do some research as to why it wasn't working I put the laptop back to its original NetComm network, only to discover that it can find the wireless network, but not access the internet - somehow the network adapter in the laptop has been changed and I'm at my wits end to know where to start to put it back to how it was.
