Hi All,

Im currently having issues on one of my computers. It just all of a sudden stopped connecting to my router. It has been running great, until now, BAM!


The Problem/situation:
- On board network adapter
- Direct wired connection to router (NETGEAR WGT624)
- One more computer and one wired print server connected to router also (both works fine)
- Other wireless devices can connect to this router fine
- Sometimes it connects to router, can SEND data, but not RECIEVE
- At times, like now, even when wires plugged in, says the device is unplugged, and others it says limited connectivity.
- I recently bought another computer, which uses a wireless card that I set up. Could this be a coincidence or something to do with the settings of the other computer?


Things I've tried:
- Deleting the harware and reinstalling it with drivers
- Switching the cables and ports around in case of bad wire/port on router
- Running the Windows "Home Network" Wizard
- Resetting the router to factory settings and starting over
- Windows system restore to back when it was working, yet no luck


MOBO is ECS's PT800CE-A
I'm running Windows XP SP2


Help!

Ok, ran the stuff Jack told me to do, no luck.

Did assign it a manual IP address like it was before (it had reverted back to assign automatically with the uninstall/reinstall), now it shows it as connected. It seems to be transmitting data, but not recieving anything according to the status screen.

Think it might be time for a new card?
