How can I repair a wireless network connection?
If you haven’t installed Service Pack 2 (SP2) for Windows XP, turn off the Windows XP Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) and either install a software firewall program or use a router with a firewall feature. To turn off ICF, follow these steps: 1. Choose Start –> Control Panel –> Network and Internet Connections –> Network Connections. The Network Connections folder opens, displaying an icon or listing for your Internet connection(s). 2. Right-click the Local Area Network Connection, and choose Properties. The Properties dialog box for your connection opens. 3. Click the Advanced tab, and deselect the option to use ICF. If all else fails, I’m suspicious you may be the victim of a wireless intruder. But there is a way for you to find out! You can try a free wireless security scan tool, found here: http://www.purenetworks.com/securityscan… Or, if you’re confident it is not a wireless intruder, you may also like to
