can't connect to web

[Guest Martin]

Wirless modum is woking with a separate xp computer and the Windows Me

computer used to work wireless but it stopped working.

 

In control panel, network, tcp/ip , I chose obtain an ip addr automatically

and detect connection to network media, ok, ok and it says it downloads

settings but I still can't connect.

 

It used ot work, then it worked sometimes and now not at all.

Where did you get it and what did it do? I installed some stuff for my

Motorola Razr V3m on my winME about a year ago. The cell and the PC

communicated but anything worthwhile, like transferring photos to the

PC, seemed to require premium services which I never heard anyone say

were worth buying. I still have some Btstart service (Bluetooth)

running. Did it do anything really worthwhile? I have begun using the

system monitor most of the time and have been wondering why it shows

I'm burning up about 75% of the cpu cycles just doing AV, Bluetooth,

and running the Cable Modem. When the computer first starts, the

first minute or so, it gets by with less than 25% but within 5 minutes

it always gets up to 75%. Starting a browser session presses the pedal

to the metal for about 8 to 10 seconds then its down to 75 % again...

 

Did you ever use the System Monitor when you were using wireless?

 

As far as that goes, what are your meters now? (memory manager and

kernel processor)?

One of the tools I've used for checking network connections is Ping.

Start with pinging yourself, 127.0.0.1, etc. If you can't get a

response then you don't have a connection, or at least you don't have

a tcp / ip connection. What kind of result do you get with ping (from

the command prompt)?
