My laptop cannot connect to the internet, let me tell you what I have tried and then you can tell me I'm stupid and tell me what I should have tried. The switch is turned on, my computer says my drivers are working properly. I have tried to reset my IP address and everytime I type ipconfig /release it says the requested operation requires evaluation. I have reset my modem, router, called my cable company. My laptop works when plugged into my router via Ethernet cable. My girlfriends computer can hook up to my wireless along with my ps3 and x360. I have taken my computer to my college where there is open wifi just to make sure, no connection.
Now there is one thing that might be the cause. A few days ago my wireless was acting up, they were doing some unscheduled maintenance. I plugged my computer up directly to my modem, not my router. It was having some issues connecting, then my computer asked me to ok something and I did, but I don't remember what. It was able to connect after that. I am thinking whatever I oked is what changed a setting to my computer where it wont pick up any wireless internet connection. I am running windows vista, if you need any computer specs past that your going to have to tell me what you need and how I retrieve them. Thank you very much for your time.
