1183108 2011-03-02 23:39:00 Hey all,

I am trying to help my flatmate with an issue connecting to the net .

We have a Thompson 585v8 with Telecom .

He runs a Nec Versa p9110 with Visa .

Two of our computers connect fine, one through Ethernet and one wirelessly .

His Nec will connect through a Ethernet cable but only gives us Limited Connection when he attempts to connect wirelessly, so it recognises the network but wont connect to the internet .

I installed the latest Visa service pack and drivers for his Wireless card but neither worked .

Does anyone have any ideas?

He can connect wirelessly to other networks - is it our modem?

Any other suggestions?

1183112 2011-03-04 00:52:00 in my experience, it can be a driver issue, maybe backdate it or it could be the service pack .

the thing is it might happen to some and not to others . . . (diff products) .
