    This is weird, My laptop's connection is working just fine, but my Desktop's connection is ' Limited or has no Conncectiviy. ' How do I fix this? It just occoured today so..


    Do I have to restart the router, it's only not working on one computer .. Any ideas?

    Also, How come I can't see animated sigs and avatars while i'm on IE?

    wired or wireless?
    8021B or G?
    Router/NIC/Wireless Card manufacturer?
    does the NIC/Wireless card show up in the device manager?
    can you acess the router at all?

    need to know more, man..

    Wired AND Wireless
    How do I check if it's 8021B or G?? ( I have no idea what that is. )
    Router = Linksys NIC = Dell's Stock NIC Wireless Card = Linksys
    Where can I locate the Device Manager? You meen Task Manager?
    Yes I'm accessing the router on my laptop.

    Hm, that usually brings up my router settings, but it not working now. Do you think I should shut off my router for a little bit and turn it back on?

    Start -> Run -> ipconfig -> ipconfig/relese [enter] -> ipconfig/renew [enter]

    Or just reset your router and restart your computer.

    right click on my computer on the desktop (not the laptop), go to properties. go to the hardware pane. click on device manager.

    make sure your NIC/Wireless card is in there, and there are no exclamation marks or question marks.

    (you have your desktop computer wired, correct? then do below)

    if it is all squared away, make sure there are no bent or squeezed sections in your rj-45 cable. also maybe try switching ports on the router. also you can try to change the ip number of your nic, or refresh the connection.

    Or you could have done Control panel > network connections > double click your netork connection with the problem > support > press repair
