i just set up my PC in my new place, and i tried connecting to the wireless connection setup in the house. The connection shows full signal strength, but when i try connecting to it, a window pops up saying tht connection cannot be established and tht the signal is lost. i tried it a few times, but same thing... any ideas?

 

how long has this been going on?
in my experience when you screw around with your home network (changing settings like DHCP, enable wireless security, etc) maybe it takes a while to adjust to the changes
usually i have no connection or no internet from the modem. it goes back to normal in an hour or so

weird but ive seen this happen more than once and not just at my house

 

yes, my roommate has no problems connecting to the connection... driver? hhm.. i'm using a driver from windows.. it was pretty much pnp for me since i got it.. hope i can find the install CD h:

 

did you try hard reset?

 

what's tht? :thinking:

 

how far are you from the router?

are you near cordless phones or microwaves?

 

hold reset button for at least 20 secs

 

on the router? not tried tht yet cos it's my roommate's and she was sleeping at tht time h:

i'm abt 12 ft away from the router, with a wall in between of course h: signal from the router shows full strength... there is a land phone near the router if tht matters :dunno:

 

Is it encrpyted?

 

there's a password... i have it, but i can't even connect to the connection to use it! :madr:
