After I fixed my computer concerning another problem, a problem with my wireless adapter came up. I logged in to Vista, but couldn't connect to the internet (but I am able to see the wireless networks), so I powercycled my router and modem, but nothing. I even ran Intel diagnostics, but it said my hardware had some problem. So after a day or two of frustration, I backed everything up and reformatted. After reformatting and reinstalling all drivers, I still couldn't connect to the internet. The diagnostics said my hardware was the problem again! What should I do?

try setting ur router and wireless card to 802.11g and turn off IPv6 for ur card....
-
Can you get internet while you use ethernet?

-
Do you have wep/wpa enable? may be you lost the parameters.

overthere....if u have lost ur wireless key....configure ur wireless network to be open and do the same for ur wireless card in the wireless settings in windows....u cud also check if u have 802.11g....it is normally in the security settings of the router....!!
for IPv6

Nope, I don't have WEP or WPA and I can't connect to my neighbor's open router either. As I said, all of my families' desktops and laptops can connect to my wireless router, just not mine.

Ah, I might just chat with Dell to see if they can replace that part or at least fix it. I'll see.
-
i think its reached the end of its tether....yep best to hand it over to Dell to fix....!!

Did you try ethernet?

I believe he said he would try but he didn't doubted the router, but I was trying to isolate the wireless adpater.

most likely your MAC filtering must be blocking u.

Nah...even if u take out your HD and Jump on it...drop noodles on it & jump off the building with it..
STILL it wont die....although it ll get damaged.
Do this...when the comp starts...try entering the BIOS. and setting it to default settings
EDIT: I know Monkey that u r reading this rite now...i think he ll also have to Uninstall & Re-install his Wireless drivers like i did once -
Hahahaha, will this one here still work?

HD Slaughter
Not even FBI can recover any data from that... -

Yep, even if it takes one year to recover some bits of data, that's what the taxes are for

Magnets for HD are like Kryptonite for Superman.
So its better to use magnet than to break it.
magnet permanently terminates the data -

It all depends on what shape the disk is in. I know those magnets are strong because I salvage them too. The metal top on the drive should protect it pretty well. Put the drive back in and see if it boots, or take spinrite to it and see if it can recover/repair it. It's always best to destroy the drive with a hammer, beat it to a pulp you will be fine.
