Yes. Sorry I didn't make that clear. DHCP is enabled (i.e. it does say it will connect automatically).

That all depends upon the model of the wireless access point, let me know the branding and i will see what i can dig up.

What do you mean by "the branding"?
I have a Linksys WRT54G router and a Motorola SB5100.

At the moment, i wouldn't recommend doing this, as it could be a setting that has been applied to the device/s. Lets keep working through it and if all else fails try the repair install of XP, but don't jump to that just yet.

OK. Thanks for helping me!

P.S. Does this network exist within an organisation? or is it a home network managed by your local IT crew
|
It is a home network. I am not sure, but I believe it is managed by the tech person at my dad's office (it's a small business of 5 people, not some huge corporation).
I feel like I should mention again that less than twelve hours ago, the internet was working flawlessly, which means that the settings were working fine. All I did was turn off the computer, sleep, and turn it back on, and the internet stopped working.
Thanks again. I really appreciate the help!
