Laptop, Network Help
« on: January 17, 2010, 01:29:28 pm »
Ok so yesterday night I left my laptop on so that it could finish downloading stuff, but when I came back the next morning, and I cant even see the google page on Google Chrome. Like I cant log-in to msn or do like anything on the internet. But yes my wireless connection is there I can connect/disconnect easily, and it's not my rooter because my PS3's (wireless) internet is working fine and the computer that Im on works just as fine. Anyone?

Please Help

Laptop is a Asus K40
Maybe 6 moths old
Windows Vista 32 Bit (was SP 1 but updated to SP 2 to see what it would do)  (Also have W7 Pro 32 Bit ready to instal (was going to do it today)would it resolve the problem?)

Tried turning off/on wireless? Or simply restarting your pc? Also, do you use an adapter for connecting or don´t you need one?

Well, test whether AIDA finds your network card, if not it may be damaged by the heat all night long.

Yes. You need to download a program to use it.

In the network>windows network>network adapter description I have Atheros AR928X Wireless Network Adapter and Realtek RTL8168/8111 Family PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.0)

Is that it?

Could seem your network card is fried. You could try using a USB wireless adapter.

If you have abnormally slow download/upload but normal download/upload, I may have a few more links for you.

You should know about the guarantee. Look it up. If it is not covered buy an adapter + software.
