I connect to the internet through a wireless network at home (TalkTalk service and their provided router).
I tried to install a Linksys range expander (WRE54G) today, running the setup app on my laptop. It couldn't find the expander, which I half expected, as I wasn't sure whether the router and expander were compatible.
However - having disconnected, turned off the expander, and rebooted the laptop, I now can't reach the internet through the original wireless connection, or even using an ethernet cable.
- network connections shows up as connected, strong signal strength
- view available wireless connections shows as connected
- router lights are as normal
- other machines on the wireless network work perfectly
Having spoken to my ISP helpline they tried resetting the winsock catalog, but had no further ideas when that didn't work.
Any suggestions welcome, at the moment I'm out of ideas!
The laptop is running XP, SP3.
Thanks in advance!
Andrew
