Wireless help

[jezza777]

My pc has lost connection to my wireless network. I have no idea why and I have been trying to fix it. The wizard that manages the connection just keeps losing it for some reason so a network address is never found.
I am using a netgear wg111v3 USB adaptor. I have so far .......
Reset the modem.
Unimstalled and reinstalled the adaptor.
Ran spybot , malaware and avira
bought a new adapter (I had a belkin but the probl is exactly the same)
performed a system restore.
The mod and wireless network are ok as the ps3 and I
iPhone are using it with no problems.
Anyone got any ideas??

Couple of things for you to try, and sorry I can't spend more time helping if they don't work (mad busy with revision and assignments)

Firstly, try changing the channel on the wireless to as far away from the existing channel as possible, save, exit and reboot.

If that doesn't work, and you seem to have checked lots of the obvious problems, you can check that the config of the your local network connection & USB is working correctly by pinging yourself, in a CMD window type ' ping 127.0.0.1 ' what this will tell you is if the problem definitely with the local machine - which it sounds like it is as all other devices connect with no issues.

If the above address returns errors, try reinstalling the TCP/IP protocols on the problematic connection (In Vista (as you didn't say which OS)it can be found in Network and Sharing Centre>in the connection area, View status>Properties>Internet Protocol V4>Install & reboot.

Of course, it could be something as simple as an error with your password authentication on the machine.

Hope that helps a bit, good luck.
