Can not connect
My sons Dell B130 laptop was infected wth Trijans, and worms and all kinds of
stuff. It would lock up. I formatted the hard drive and reinstalled XP. We have a wireless router in our home and now I can not get on the internet. The wireless connection icon on the task bar says weare connected to our network with good signal strength, but when I try to get on MSN I get "Page can not be Displayed" -- Clueless JohnnieRay |

When you tried to connect to your router, were you asked for a password, and did you enter it correctly? -- Lem -- MS-MVP To the moon and back with 2K words of RAM and 36K words of ROM. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_Guidance_Computer http://history.nasa.gov/afj/compessay.htm Lem |

Re: Can not connect
Hi
This page might help in checking the health of the Computer's Wireless. http://www.ezlan.net/wireless.html Disable the Wireless security in the Wireless Router and reconfigure from scratch. Enable the security only after you get good connetion.
