TCP/IP Connection not functioning

One more thought. Can you try a restore point to when things were
working? You will have to get the Windows Updates again, so if
things work, download them and do a custom "one at a time" to insure
that nothing breaks connectivity.

If that does not help, can you right click my computer, then manage,
then device manager, then look at the network adaptors and verify
that the wireless is still there and not disabled?

I was able to do the restore point (Sept.1st) and I checked the network
adaptors and verified that the wireless is still there and not disabled.
Still no wireless connection found.

previously I suggested:

"what security method do you use on the router? you might want to
reset the router to factory defaults and then reset up security on
both the router and the laptop. also, sometimes turning off the
Norton firewall isn't enough, you have to uninstall it or explicitly
permit the local subnet."

have you tried resetting the router and temporarily uninstalling
Norton?

Hello Brenda,
Even I have a similar problem. Could you solve the problem? If so please let
me know how you did. I am exhausted now with lot of trials.

Thanks

Hello Brenda, I have the same problem as well. Please let me know if you
could solve it and how?
Thanks a lot

Hello Osprey340,
My son right clicked on the 1394 connection (The connection that's not a
network connection) in my Network connections and clicked on Repair. This is
what worked for me. Thank you to everyone who tried to help me!

Thanks again,
Brenda

I forgot to tell you that I then rebooted my laptop.

1394 is firewire. was this "bridged" to the are network card?

I not sure if this explains it. I found the info on
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/310433

IEEE 1394 on Windows XP
Windows XP has built-in IEEE 1394 support. To use all the capabilities of
the IEEE 1394 standard, your computer must have an IEEE 1394 adapter
installed. If your computer has a FireWire adapter, the adaptor is IEEE 1394
compatible. Some of the capabilities of a Windows XP-based computer with the
IEEE 1394 standard are: • Instant network connectivity by plugging two or
more computers together (no additional hardware or software required).
• End-to-end throughput of over 50 Mbps with plenty of digital bandwidth
remaining for demanding audio-visual programs.
• Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) over IEEE 1394.
This feature makes it very easy to share a single Internet connection when
you connect one computer to the Internet and then connect more computers to
the first computer. The Windows XP built-in Internet Connection Sharing
feature provides the necessary software support.

NOTE: Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) and other networking protocols are
not supported.
• The ability to use IEEE 1394 drivers for peripheral devices. These drivers
are provided by the manufacturers of the devices.

Back to the top

Notes
• Windows XP comes with full support with IEEE 1394; you are not required to
install any software. If you need to install an adapter, simply plug it in to
an available adapter slot, and Windows XP completes the installation.
• To install an IEEE 1394 device, your computer must have an IEEE 1394
adapter. If it does, then you are only required to plug in the device.
• The IEEE 1394 drivers that you may need are provided by the manufacturer.
Most IEEE 1394 devices do not need special drivers.

sounds like you are using firewire for networking.
