| 838335 | 2009-12-10 06:59:00 | HOW far exactly is this PC away from the router?? It maybe too far, why it cant get on the net. Is the wireless secure? What encryption are you using? On the PC that cant get on the net, have you put anything under the adapter's properties (like put in the DNS server ips)?? Go into its properties / TCP/IP, put your ISP's DNS server ips in on the bottom | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 838336 | 2009-12-11 00:40:00 | I've done the corrections in Hijack this and there is still no internet connection. NOD32 is working although not a startup program and is doing a scan at the moment, and afterwards AVG 8.5 will do a full scan to make sure there are no viruses or spyware. |

| 838337 | 2009-12-11 00:45:00 | It's not to do with the distance as another PC further away has access and this computer still connects to the modem it is just anything that requires uploading or downloading info such as browsers and updates. It is using WEP at the moment and still connects to the internet in Xubuntu. Not sure if the adaptor properties have been changed from default but I think it hasn't changed since when it had a connection. At the moment I am thinking it is malware because Xbuntu always gets a connection. |

| 838338 | 2009-12-11 00:47:00 | Get rid of AVG, you dont need 2 AV programs. Could be a driver prob then, update it if there's an update. Since it seems to work fine in Linux | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 838339 | 2009-12-11 01:11:00 | I don't think the drivers would be an issue although I will have a look for it. I use Ubuntu 9.10 on my PC and I mostly have a connection and when I use Vista Ultimate and Win 7 RC the connection is moderate at best and drops out quite a bit but I can still do things on the internet most the time. Also I just got the drivers for my adaptor to see if it would improve anything on my PC and I'm not sure how to use the files to update it as it is a zip that extracts to become 2 System Files, 2 Security Catalog, and 2 Setup Information files. I will unistall one of the AV's if the scan results come up with nothing though. |

| 838340 | 2009-12-11 01:20:00 | Go to device manager, dbl click on the WLAN entry / driver tab / update driver. Point it to the folder with the inf file in it. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 838341 | 2009-12-13 00:58:00 | Driver wouldn't install to the PC so it must be up to date. The Adaptor is a Dlink DWA - 110 and the drivers were a 9.6MB download. An suggestions now? Reinstall Windows or buy a new PC? |

| 838342 | 2009-12-13 01:16:00 | Probably reinstall windows. Altho, XP may not be the prob, it maybe the wireless adapter. So, even if you reinstall XP, and if you use the same adapter, you may have the same prob Is this what you've downloaded? (www.dlink.com.au). Is that the version that shows under the adapter in device manager? 1.30 |

| 838343 | 2009-12-13 01:42:00 | Yeah thats the one that I downloaded, but reinstalling would be the last option that I'd take and was wondering if there was something else that could fix it. | Civic (15464) | ||
| 838344 | 2009-12-13 01:52:00 | Well, see if it connects with cable, the adapter maybe faulty or something. Not much else you can do, besides either testing it with a cable. or replacing the adapter | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
