Oops! With that setting, the device will not even ask for the DHCP data!
Let me lookup the fix ...

jo - let me save you the trouble my friend. Take a look at Post #16 and it will explain it all. :blush: :blackeye:

NodeType controls the name resolution request and the values are shown here

Code:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\NetBT\Parameters\NodeType RegDword = 8
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Services\NetBT\Parameters\NodeType RegDword = 8
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NetBT\Parameters\NodeType RegDword = 8

you will need to reboot to make it effective and then ipconfig /all will show
Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Hybrid

Route44 where are you at now with this issue? Did you disable onboard NIC wireless that was faulty in the BIOS?

Riddle Me this Batman

Okay guys, riddle me this. I have not had the time to put aside to troubleshoot an issue and follow the advice you all gave me. Life has been crazy busy. Anyway...

My daughter decided to use her computer today and this is the first time she has used it since the wireless adapter didn't work. She said she would see if it would connect. AND IT DID. The only thing different is she moved from the kitchen table to the living room 15 feet away. Yet my Toshiba is still at that table and it continues to connect via it's a/b wireless card.

The single is strong and has been steadily connecting for going on three hours now. yet Do you see anything in the information below that is telling? Thanks.
