| First off - I am assuming a few things... lets not proceed unless I am correct at assuming: * You are running XP SP2 * You are using the built in Windows Wireless Utility (Zero Conf Util) * You don't have any security software or wireless intrusion software installed (ie. Symantec Security Center, McAfee, etc etc) Great, we can proceed. You can try these two things. The first is what I meant by 'remove wireless connection and reconfigure'. The second is more a 'catch-all fix' Remove wireless connection means to remove and reinstall the driver essentially. In Network Connections, if memory serves, you can delete the wireless connection, then reboot and redetect devices. If my memory is failing (grin) then remove it from device manager and reinstall. If *THAT* fails then click on start, run, and type 'cmd' and click OK. At the command prompt enter these commands: netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt netsh winsock reset catalog The first one is going to reset the TCP/IP stack's registry settings. The second one is going to blow away the winsocks and reset the LSP entry catalogs. I've used this fix to resolve issues where you can't view available wireless networks - your mileage may vary - can't hurt to try. EDIT: Restart your computer after deleting wireless device, or after those two commands.  |

| I tried both suggestions, to no avail. Deleting and then reinstalling the Atheros network adapter didn't work, nor did resetting the TCP/IP stack's registry settings and blowing away the winsocks. As it stands, Network Connections tells me that I am connected, I can ping, but I can't open a webpage. |
