wireless?

likabu_2

Ok wondering if anyone can help with a problem that has just occurred.

I was, less than 20 minutes, happily surfing the web via my wireless connection. Then I got disconnected for no apparent reason. My router is showing as working but the laptop is not picking it up wirelessly but still finds someone elses connection (secure) up the road.

I am using the internet now via the router but with the yellow cable (I;m so technicall!) plugged in.

Anyone got any ideas why I can't use it wirelessly anymore and how to fix it?


Many thanks

Try this, assuming that you are using XP

Go to Start | Run type in cmd

at the prompt, type in ipconfig /renew

press enter

This happens to me quite often. I can't load certain pages that I've visited quite frequently.
What works for me is restarting the router via the main page on your pc.
Hope this helps you out

Have you tried rebooting your router? If that doesn't work try changing the wireless channel in the router settings.

I'm using vista.

I have rebooted the router.

Will try changing the channel now

Thanks for the advice guys. Am up and running wirelessly again. I got frustrated and reset the router and set it all up again. I know there's probably an easier way but I'm sorted now.

What encryption did you set up? Perhaps someone else is using your connection!
