finally found out what the problem with my wireless network is. If I do a IPconfig in command promt It says the media is disconnected. Now if someone knows how to fix this error I can have my wireless network back Bits of info: In device manager the network card appears fine If I disable the connection, then enable it. It fails.
Make sure the card isn't turned off by software... my laptop has a key to do this and it drove me barmey trying to fix it!
I've already done that.. they didnt really help. I've been on the belkin site as well as lots of google searching about this problem. If you dont want to help please dont post.
What operating system are you using? I'm assuming XP... if so, try this: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;811259 The short hand version of which is
If XP, go into your Services applet (Start - Run - services.msc) Look for WIreless Zero Configuration, and if the service is off, right click and tell it to Start. See if that fixes it.
just tried the service's one. It was already started, I did stop then restart it but it didn't seem to change anything. It still says media disconnected Im gonna go try "Enak's" way now wish me luck .keir.
Is it possible that the wireless access point you are trying to connect to has WEP enabled? http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;884787&Product=winxp

Looks like your AP/router is denying access to your wifi card. Check the AP/router WLAN config with a normal network-cable or from another PC.
1. Don't use all caps 2. Don't steal someone elses thread 3. Use a cross over cable if you are not using a hub/ switch.
b u m p I got my mams machine back on the network after restarting the router and giving the wifi netowrk the correct name, i restarted her machine and it was on the network stright away.. But since restarting her machine after that we're back to media state disconnected
no and no. no service pack on the machine no firewalls on the machine either edit - just restored defaults to the router, no change
