[QUOTE="fba827, post: 2030397, member: 807"] Okay,here's the deal. Cable Modem -> Wireless Router. I know the setup itself works because my brother's laptop works just fine. However, with my own laptop, it sees the wireless network but when you attempt to connect, it keeps failing (it shows it attempting to connect, takes about 60 seconds, and eventually gives up). I keep comparing the settings of the wirless connection between the two laptops and everything seems the same. Also, note that it _used_ to work just fine on my laptop. I'm not aware of any system changes that could have caused it to stop working (but I am not the only one that uses the laptop so someone else could have done something that they don't remember). If it helps any, the university wireless, same thing --- the laptop used to work fine but, now, it can see the available connection, it WILL connect for all of thirty seconds (there can actually be traffic passing) before dumping (disconnecting) me though. To add insult to injury, yes, I used to work in tech support and so i'm feeling very defeated right now -- but having said that, if you have any suggestions, feel free to assume that i know how to find basic things (i.e. i know how to go to the control panel or to the settings for the wireless connection. I am at a loss. Any ideas? I can spec out the wireless router's info if need be... And thanks in advance for any suggestions :) Edit2: Oh yeah, just to try and preemptively answer the question: I have turned off all firewalls on the laptop for the purposes of trying to figure this out.
