Re: frustrating wireless problem Update: Well I've tried a couple of things. 1st I did sort of a WinMe Repair/partial reinstall...no effect on connection. 2nd I installed firefox, same result. 3rd I did a direct connection via usb cable to the router....no effect on connection. Backup computer is showing on the 2wire network as connected via usb. I can still ping back and forth but browser still won't work. One thing I notice on the backup computer that won't connect vs the main computer that has no connection problem is that the backup computer will only ping via ip address and not domain names EXCEPT when it does a loopback and pings itself. This has become more of a challenge than a necessity, I don't like giving in to defeat. I think my next move will be to bring in my son's laptop and configure it into the network and see if it will connect. |

| UPDATE: You were right "muiredised" it is a problem with WinME. My son's laptop had no problem logging on the internet once he connected to my network. I've given up trying to figure out the problem with WinME. Since the backup computer is so obsolete I'm just going to replace it with a new lowend laptop for a backup system. Thanks for the imput. |
