No connectivity.

I have just started with a problem with my wireless desktop card. The PC was
used in a "test rig" with a server to test some networking issues. Since
joining and leaving the domain, I can no longer connect to the router. All
the diagnostics check out, the signal strength is maximum but there is no
packet activity. WZC is also running (as it always has) as disabling it
stops my card's utility (a Belkin) this struggles to assign an IP address so
I set the address manually. Both WZC and the Belkin maintain that everything
is fine but still no packet activity. I have also uninstalled and
reinstalled this card and another (F5D7000/1)I have tried emailing Belkin,
who tell me to phone them and when I do I cannot get through.
As I said earlier, the only change to this PC is the fact that it was
briefly on a domain. I am not too bothered re this issue as I am upgrading
shortly which will include a new H/D and install, it's just a little
annoying I cannot get to the bottom of the problem. If anybody has
experienced similar, your observations would be most welcome.

Hi
If your Wireless Router (or what ever you use to connect to) is using a
peer-to -peer topology and your Laptop was put on domain, it might be that
the settings are still domain related and thus it is incompatible with your
current Network.
If you do not know how to change it back you should ask the people that put
it on the Domain how to reverse what ever they did

Hello Jack,

It was me
who put it onto the domain, I was using the the desktop to fine tune some
networking issues with a WS2003 server.
I have since left the domain with this PC and it is now back on the peer to
peer.
