Strange any Help?
« on: August 21, 2007, 01:11:25 AM »
Ok,here's the deal, I put windows back on my computer after something or anthor  happened and I use a Linksys wireless network card to get internet off a computer that sits out in the living room,now I went on the site for Linksys because they have a self fix tool that will get all the drivers needed etc, ( I hooked my computer up to the LAN line in the living room)everything was set couple days go by and I decide to move it to a different room,so I do and when I turn it on it shows me the  found new hardware setup screen,for the network card ! so I shut it down take it back out to the LAN line and when I start it up it is acting fine,so then I'm thinking ok??? so I take it back in the room and it does it again , until I finally had too take it out there ,do it all again just in case and brought it back sat the computer up higher...and its been fine but I just shut it down because  of the heat it generates in the room , then turned it back on and boom did it again, I then restarted it and it was fine ??? ??? ??? ???

Your computer wireless link could possibly have
the AFDB syndrome.

Maybe you will need to find what is blocking the signal.

Sorry,The USA has ruined the language The United Kingdom loaned us. We do our best not to type gibberish. I Hope you can forgive us.

    The aerial is coated in Aluminium Solid Foil? Or is there a beanie on it?

    Is the computer in question a laptop? What do you mean you get internet off a computer that sits in the living room? Sorry I don't follow the sentence structure.


    If it's giving you the add new hardware screen for a wireless card then perhaps it was never installed correctly or was knocked out. Try downloading appropriate drivers / software and then removing the card and removing it from device manager. (Right-click My Computer > Manage > Device Manager > Networking stuff).
    System specs:
    Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 (up to 3.3 stock V and air)
    ASUS Striker Extreme
    XFX 8600GT XXX Edition
    2x 1gB Corsair XMS2 DDR2-800
    Seagate Barracuda 320gB SATA
    Raidmax Ninja 918 (520W ATXV2.0 PSU)
