I've been having a very frustration debacle that I can't seem to figure out, albeit I'm not a genius. I know my way around computers fairly well, but I'm no master.
Anyway, here we go. I have a wireless DSL connection in my home. And it worked flawlessly up until about a few weeks ago, where this computer will "connect," but I don't receive any packets, and my internet doesn't actually work. Now you would assume this would just be a problem with the ISP or the router, but what's very strange is that the other computers in the house will work without a problem.
SOMETIMES this computer will connect, and I'll be able to navigate pages... But more often then not, it will say it's connected, with great reception, but I can't navigate or use the internet in anyway. It's really thrown me for a loop, and I don't know where to even start. Have a few laptops that work just fine with it, and a mac that i've had no problem with. It's only this computer.
And as I said, it will say that it's connected, yet I won't be able to actually go to web pages, download, log in to anything internet based. BAH! It's frustrating, I need to get a lot of things done, and this machine is the best one I have.
I'm running XP by the way. If you need anymore info, just ask. I really hope one of you can help me figure this out!
