Re: Linksy/firewall problem
said by Greenshadow :
I have now tried to use the linksys as wireless zero and it still did not work. I now believe it is not the firewall, but could be wrong. I switched it back to linksys, and i get a signal, both on linksys and the pc icon on the bottom right corner. It still does not show any received packets but sopposily, from my friend, that does not matter. He thinks that it is just the wireless router acting up. Is this true? Or is there another reason why i do not get internet, since i still get internet on my main pc with the router. I have also tried to reset, unplug, the router and the cable modem, but still did not work.
Sorry for posting 3 times in a row but just wanted to give you some follow up.
It's most likely ZA having been corrupted by a bad uninstall, but to be sure, pull the router and hook the PC up directly to the modem, just to see if will then get online. If it does, you'll know it's the router.
You didn't say what OS you're using (unless I missed it)....if you're using XP, you don't by any chance have the XP firewall turned on, do you? There could also have been a conflict between it and ZA if you do.
I would try following the directions in the links we provided for uninstalling ZA correctly, even though it's obviously corrupted now. Make SURE to uncheck "Load at startup" before rebooting and continuing!
