hope you can help me - earlier today we had a power cut although it came back on very quickly. My computer rebooted and all seemed to work normally until I tried to connect to the internet. I have no connection at all, We have wireless connection via a hub and my husband's laptop is fine and so we know it is not the server. I have tried everything including system restore but can't solve the problem, Have you any advice to give me as to what to? I am using my husbands laptop to send this plea for help.

kind regards,,,,,,,,,Margaret

I would first turn off the modem / router and PC
then restart the modem - wait for all the lights to settle and fully connected
then repeat for router and wait to settle
then PC

What windows version do you have ?

Try a TCP/IP repair - see below

If that does not work
we will need some info and you will need to copy to the working PC

{run Xirrus Wi-Fi Inspector} Download and install
If you cannot access the internet with this PC, then you will need to copy the program across to the faulty PC

http://www.xirrus.com/library/wifitools.php
Direct link to the program is here http://www.xirrus.com/library/wifi_d...d_redirect.php
Then run and install the program
if you get an error - You need NET Framework installed for the WiFi Inspector to function.

Run the program

post a screen shot of the program running - if there are a lot of networks showing can you click on "networks" top lefthand area - so we can see all the network information, and also post which network "Adapter Name" (1st column) is yours on the list

To post a screen shot of the active window, hold the Alt key and press the PrtScn key. Open the Windows PAINT application and Paste the screen shot. You can then use PAINT to trim to suit, and save it as a JPG format file.
To upload it to the forum, open the full reply window and use the Manage Attachments button to upload it here.
