| 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? |

| 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) . |
