Hello,
I have a very frustrating problem and some answers would be appreciated.
I live on a college campus and connect through wifi to access the internet. Normally everything is fine but when I go home for the weekends and comeback getting reconnected is hell =O.
The problem I get is this:
*I have Excellent signal Strength (wifi)
*but Limited or no connection (on my wireless)
*I can access the internet using my Ethernet port and connecting manually through a cable.
The problem seems I can't get my computer to use the WLAN (wifi) connection, it seems to think that only the Ethernet connection is available. Normally when i get this problem anywhere else I can just reset the router (on/off) but in my case (on campus) its built into the wall !
My wireless connection just sends data but doesn't receive any back (sent: 1,240 /received: 24)
Its not my firewall, I have restarted my comp many times. I have used the "repair" option, I have enabled/disabled all/one/both connections.

Normally it takes me 30mins-1hr of messing w/ everything and usually it works!
but its been 2hrs this time and nothing so far (:I
I cant make the "switch" to wifi.
I'm gonna roll back drivers but I'm extremely sure that isn't it either.

Could someone have enabled or changed the WEP/WAP security on the router or on your computer? That would cause limited or no conectivity also.....

Oh costly,curiously such as you have waited too long till now comin right here. terrific element now is to start from scratch. in case you have a router/modem that's that if the telephone line plus directly into the router then do a reset, usually via pushing a pin right into a small hollow on the back for 5-10 seconds and re-setting up that first with a cable connection. once you setup the on the spot risk-free practices in the router write down the WEP or WPA key you enter or are given. be sure the main has no O or 0 and no person million or l to ward off confusion later. Now setup the on the spot on your computing gadget this is going to locate the on the spot community and ask you for the main you purely wrote down. Now this is going to all artwork high-quality.

For one what are the specs of your computer if you are using onboard wifi card they tend to have issues depending on what type of computer is and some of the drivers are out of date. also you make sure that no cordless phones are interfering with the wireless router and the the wifi is on a different signal then the cordless phones. another thing to try is get a USB wifi adapter

Right Click on your wireless connection and choose view available wireless networks - on this screen choose change advanced settings - On this click on the wireless networks tab and remove all of the preferred networks - even the schools. After that View the available wireless networks again and connect. Sometimes your card just needs a little cleaning up...
If you are using another program to connect to wireless networks try using windows instead...

I know exactly what you mean. A couple of nice guys here told me to get rid of McAfee and I haven't had a problem since. I was also told to download the Home version of avast.com for a securitty sytem. (it's free)
Good luck.
