Answer 1

It could be any number of things, from your router setup to your Internet Options...You may have to go in and redefine each, from scratch!

I say this, because, I just spent an agonizing weekend, doing this, with both my isp (covad) and linksys representatives on the phone, leading me step by step through the process, and even though they were extremely polite and competent, they each wanted conficting Internet Options, for example, and finally had to compromise.

The extreme case (mine) was: reset the router (stylus in little hole on the back). Delete the defined Network Connection. Set up the router (we even set up a new IP address on it...). Set up a new Network Connection...using the Define Network Connection Wizard. Set up that Network Connection to be the new Default. Set up your Internet Options to "Never Dial" a connection (because the router will already be connected, first thing, when you boot). Now, everything works.

I suggest you get in touch with Linksys, and get help. Try a chat session, first.

Answer 2

Well, if you're completely incapable, you can call Linksys, and for shipping charges, they'll mail you a CD.

You really have no idea how to burn a CD? You don't have any USB flash drives?

The Windows Wireless configuration tool only works once you've installed the drivers. It's what you use instead of the manufacturers software, not instead of a driver, which is a completely different thing.

My seven year old cousin burns mix CDs of Puff the Freakin' Dragon. I don't see how you get off being a belligerent jerk when you're not open about your level of technical experience. Everyone seems to have given you good answers before. It's not their fault you didn't know how to implement them.
