problem - can't find wireless network

#1 (**permalink**) 10-13-2008, 03:31 PM

Help! (please)

Have a pc with a wireless pc network card; up until recently it was
connecting
quite happily to the home wireless network. 2 other pc's connect fine
wirelessly too.
This pc has decided it can't find any network (it used to find at least 3,
including
the right one).
Broadcasting SSID doesnt help.
Typing in the SSID to the Wireless Network Properties to tell it to connect
to this
network doesnt help as it doesn't 'save' it - next time you open the dialog
box, it's
gone!
Any thoughts?
Thanks

if you have not change anything and other comps are Ok then I might suspect
hardware.

Not aware anything had been changed.... but tracked down the problem:
somehow the IP addressed assigned to the card had changed dramatically;
manually assigned it a correct no. within the range of 50 allowed by the
router, and it all works fine now. Dunno how it got changed, but thanks for
your reply & your interest in solving my problem :o)
