Can't get online without USB wi fi

[Cobalt006]

It may well be the os itself has some corrupt files. Beings neither ethernet or wifi adapters work. When you uninstalled avast. Did you try running a repair on either adapter?

No I didn't try running a repair but I will do such.

No luck on hat so I'm going to simpy tell the owner to buy a USB wi-fi & use it.
I might try fixing the ethernet later,hmmmmm Thank you @Cobalt006 & thank you @dernt

Yeah I think I would have come to the same conclusion, Bad wifi card. Easy enough to replace I have like 8 laying around the shop in old laptops. Well good luck, and at least we gave it a good try.

Ok, I'm on ethernet right now on the laptop which does work , guess it was just a connection on my part.
If this was a dek top, I might consider replacing the wifi card but not on a laptop. Thank you both & I will notify the owner

No fear learnin! Laptops are easy once you do a few. (there is a joke in there somewhere) Take care

 

[learninmypc]

Ok, thank you both, I appreciate it

I just got an Asus EeePC and I can see my home network and I hooked up to my wireless, I entered my WEP and it said 'connected'.

But my Local Area Connection says it isn't connected.

If I IPconfig in my Cmd Prompt it gives me an IP adress for my wireless adapter but it says that my media is disconnected for my ethernet.

Any idea what is going on?

If I go online it just says that I the page cannot be displayed.
