Hi all, me again.
Updated the Belkin wireless driver on machine two and it is showing exxcellent signal strength.
Cant get it to connect to the 'net? what am i doing wrong?
Was working fine before the update.
I'm sure it's something simple but brain a bit worn out today.

Hi Alien,
No I dont have the original driver.
I'm sure this one works OK but that I need to set it up properly."Unhappiness is not knowing what we want, and killing ourselves to get it."Post Count: 4,111 Thanked 3,111 Times in 1,111 Posts (Actual figures as they once were))Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.0 -
try using windows Zero to manage the wireless connection
http://www.ezlan.net/wzc.htmlThe following describes how to Check, and switch WZC On. The same principle applies in case you need to switch it Off, choose the Off/Stop options while you are at the menus (the same method can be used to configure other services too).1. Click Start and Run
2. Type into the Run box "services.msc" (without the quotation).
3. Scroll down and look for the service Wireless Zero Configuration
Double Click on the Service, Screen Shot of the services
4. Make sure that it is Started and that the startup type is set to automatic.

If the Service did not Started, or and is Not set to Automatic.
To Start the Service click on the Start button.
To set the service to automatic, click on the down arrow and change it to AutomaticEx forum ambassador

Thanks for all the help.
I tried everything on here and in the end drove 20 miles to get a copy of the original driver.
works OK now.
Next time I'll follow the 'If it ain't broke'....Etc."Unhappiness is not knowing what we want, and killing ourselves to get it."Post Count: 4,111 Thanked 3,111 Times in 1,111 Posts (Actual figures as they once were))Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.0
