In Device Manager it shows a NVIDIA nForce 10/100 Mbps Ethernet. I've tried everything you suggested apart from giving it back and wishing them luck. ip address but I can't work it out why it won't release. The modem works fine when I plug my own laptop in so I know it is working fine. When I click 'connect to a network' it shows only one called 'Broadband Connection PPPoE Connection' but I don't know what this is, it doesn't show the modem that I have plugged it into. I have decided not to concentrate on the wireless side of things and have plugged the ethernet cable straight into the computer (it's a desktop tower, not laptop) but the connection says 'Identifying - Access - limited connectivity' or 'Unidentified Network - Local Only'. Is your wireless router broadcasting its Service Set Identifer (SSID), so the laptop knows your network is available? Normally, for security, you would not broadcast this. Is the "wireless" router or access point configured with a local DHCP server to assign TCP/IP configuration parameters automatically to its client computers?ī. If there's a "Network Connection" for the adaptor, is the TCP/IP Properties configured to " Obtain an IP address automatically"?Ī. If Device Manager correctly identifies it, how does it list its " status"?Ģ. Does " Device Manager" (Windows operating system?) recognize and correctly identify the wireless network adaptor (or are there "yellow" unknown or other devices listed)?Ĭ. (1) If laptop and built-in, there may be external switch on case or function key to enable/disable the adaptor.ī. Is the network adaptor built-in or added on? Return the computer and wish them luck.Ī. (Also running on the computer is a belkin wireless network utility - i am unfamiliar with this so don't know if this is what was enabling the wireless connection at my friends house or if this is irrelevent).Īny help would be great - they want it back tomorrow!! :/Ġ. Can anyone tell me why or what has happened to it? Am I right in thinking it should pick up the connection in my house as well as their own (two other laptops in the house are working fine wirelessly). When I do a diagnosis it tells me there is no wireless network adapter installed. However, on getting the comp home it is saying unable to find any wireless networks.
#Is nvidia nforce 10 100 mbps ethernet a wireless adapter Patch
So I tried netsh ip reset but that didn't help, I tried ip release and ip renew, still no good so I have brought the computer home with me thinking maybe it was a winsock problem and that i could grab a patch for it and mend it. The computer was saying local connection only and was issuing a 169. Today they called me and said they hadn't been able to get on line since getting it back so tonight I went round to have a look. I found 169 infected files, cleaned them up and sent it back. Last week a friend asked if I could have a look at his sisters computer as it was virused up. I hope someone can help me with this problem!
