I moved in with my brother a while ago and he put me on his wireless cable domain. I'm told that he has it set up so that we can connect to stuff, but no one can connect to us. This seems to be the case as my sister-in-law and my brother's laptops work flawlessly downloading whatever. But in my case I have trouble downloading pretty much everything besides direct connect. Bit torrent, kazaa, dcc, you name it and it'll give me problems.

I also have trouble staying connected and then synchronizing with the domain. I'll not be able to connect to the domain server to browse the mp3's on there, but I can still browse the internet and troll IRC. Up until last week rebooting fixed everything for a couple hours, but then the power went out and my brother reassociated my network card with the router and then I couldn't reconnect/synchronize with the host.

I've tried a few things to fix it. Before rebooting I took down windows firewall obviously. I tried hitting "repair connection" on my connection icon. I went into properties and took our wireless network out of preferred networks, disabled, enabled, put the wireless key in and reconnected. I did a network scan and I'm unable to ping the DHCP or DNS servers, which is probably what's causing all the wierd shit to happen. I'm still having the same problem, so I don't know what else to do besides ask someone more experienced than myself since my brother's out of town.


I'm working on:
Windows XP
CNet PRO200 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter - Wireless

I'm assuming you're talking about logging into a windows domain controller? Are you running your own DNS server (why would you?) or are you using some other DNS server? Are you running XP Pro? Are you authenticating to the domain?

I don't guess I'm following what you mean by "synching" with the domain either.
