internet.....all this stress has affected my spelling

hmm
click on the wireless network icon in the task bar. Disconnect and then reconnect. Does it then still say you're disconnected?

D3BB13

the pic has a red cross through it.....but I can't understand how I'm still able to send these messages if it says I'm not connected!!

stevemcol

are you sure you're not looking at the wired LAN icon

D3BB13

when I hover over the wireless icon on taskbar it says
wireless network connection.
Not connected. Right click here for more details


and

the wireless network connection window shows the name of my network and it says Not connected at thr right hand side next to a yellow star.
Then underneath it says
unsecured wireless network.
The grey button at the bottom of this window says disconnect.

How can i be connected if everything says I'm not??

D3BB13

should I restart my computer and see what happens?

Please do this so we can see how you are connected:

Click Start - Run, type in cmd and click OK.

In the new window that's just opened type:

ipconfig/all > tmp.txt

and then:

notepad tmp.txt

Copy and paste contents of Notepad into this thread.

Either,

you are connected with a wire,
or you are connected to someone elses network wirelessly
or you are connected to yours wirelessly

Unplug the lan lead if it is still plugged in, then see if you can get here, then unplug the router, and see if you can get here, to prove which one is true. Are you using windows to config the wireless or an application that came with a wireless device?
