I am trying to fix my father-in-law's Windows ME NEC PC. He uses it
infrequently and only for an occasional email and browsing. A couple of
weeks ago the wireless LAN failed. On boot up we see a message which says
that the ATERM wireless LAN card cannot be found. I ran the diagnostics
package (everything in Japanese I should add) and saw nothing wrong.
Control Panel also showed the card to be installed OK in the slot. I could
stop the card and reinsert and all was well it seemed.
On Saturday I bought a new card - an upgrade to a g version as well as b -
for future upgrade of the wireless base station. The card installed fine
(Buffalo) and the drivers also installed from the CD with no hassle. Then I
tried the second half of the install and began to hit problems. For some
reason there is no IP address being set in the card. As the card has no IP
address set then of course we cannot get any communication working at all.
Does anyone have any ideas...seems like an underlying problem rather than
either of the cards now as far as I can see...
do I need to set up ME again or rebuild the network or something similar ?
