I recently set up a wireless network at my house using netgear wgr614 wireless router on my HP AMD 64 laptop. everything worked fine, and i could connect to any network. When I went to my mums house I realised that i could no longer connect through wireless and had to conenct through ethernet, which worked fine. I took it home, and found that I am now unable to conect to any network, including my home network. When I do try and connect the network icon in the task manager turns first to two screens and a red cross, then to icon of bars with all bars grey, and then back to two screens with red cross. It switches between these untill you either disable wireless or connect through ethernet. When I do try and manually connect, It starts connecting, and then just says 'windows cannot connect to swire'. I diagnosed the problem and it says that windows did not recieve any response from the router, and suggests low signal as the cause of the fault. I am in the same room as the router so this cannot be the problem. Also, as the problems seems to extend to any router i am sure the problem is in my computer. Windows can detect the network and shows full strenghth signal. Several other laptops in the house can connect wirelessly, but now not mine. I re-iterate that I can connect through ethernet just fine. Does anyone have any suggestions that might help? Thanks very much -- ketaminz ninja |

For troubleshooting, can you setup static IP address to access the router?
