    wireless is suddenly not working.

    uninstalled my nvidia video driver and restarted, now my wireless has stopped working. the connection works and my laptop can connect to the router, but i still dont have access to the internet. this computer im using now connects to the internet with the same router so i know its not the connections issue.

    anyone know the possible reason? thanks!

    Try doing this on the computer with the issues:

    press Start-->Run and type cmd and hit enter.

    then type ipconfig /flushdns

    then ipconfig /release

    then ipconfig /renew

    Try the internet again...If it still doesn't work do a ipconfig /all and post the result here.

    BTW what Operating System are u using?

    okay its not working again. i tried the flushdns and it says the command requires elevation, so it probably didnt work. yea so the nets not working again, it might work again if i leave it but that takes too long.
    resetting the router doesnt work either.

    To elevate, you need to find command prompt in the Start menu, right click on it and "Run As" administrator. Then try those commands!
