no fixes yet. i'm cp'ing this from another forum. so i apologize for the splintered/awkwardness of it.


o yea, lemme describe my situation.

My computer -> piece of shit usb wireless dealy -> router

every once in a while/all the time, my internet either stops working or i cannot connect to it.


i do some fiddling, go to control panel. the wireless connection is x'd out. i do some uninstall/reinstalls/unplug/enable/disable etc etc in device manager/network properties, but nothing. when i 'disable' it just disappears, and i cannot re-enable it with out restarting (and then it's still x'd out) when i run the device manager to attempt to see what's up, it gives me the yellow Exclamation, indicating that that hardware is not working properly. i click on it and it says "this device cannot start" (this is after 'disabling')

when i just use device manager normally, it tells me everything is running fine, but it just will not connect to my router, even though it sees it from network properties.



last night it was working fine, and then i plugged my camera in to the other usb.

intarnets stopped.

camera would not read. nothing, nada. no new found hardware etc etc.

after some fiddling i got the camera to work, no internet.

reset, stopped using camera, internet works.




now, i've booted in safe mode w/ networking. internet works like a charm.

my mouse does not (wireless)

i go to device manager to install my mouse, and again, it gives me the yellow exclamation and tells me "device cannot start"


wtf.

i hadn't had any problems with have 2-4 things plugged in (2 in back, 2 in front) in the past.

so now my mouse works in safe mode. wtf?

i thought it would be gravy running in safe mode, but i uploaded 2 things and my connections just veronica moser'd all over my face.




FUCK

it's not working (i'm in safe mode, so it probably won't work for much longer)

my roommates are using the internet.

earlier today, no one was home and i had ZERO problems.

this is shit. both our service AND our router are supposed to support multiple users.

why is it that my computer, and no one else's can not use the internet when anyone else is?

i checked various irqs and stuff, no conflict.

it seems like i just can't 'get to' the shit cuz it's being hoarded or something


but there has NEVER been a problem in the past. this has only been going on about ~1 month.
