My husband, Bob, has two Dell Inspiron and one Latitude notebooks he
bought for his middle school library 2 years ago to lend to teachers
when they need to use them. He lent one of the Inspirons out last week,
and when he got it back he couldn't connect to the Internet via WiFi. It
does connect via ethernet. I don't know if any students used it.
The card turns on, has good reception, sees the wireless modem/router. I
can ping it OK, but can't connect to the modem, Internet or anything
else. Bob proceeded to go through all of the settings he could think of,
but no luck. Nothing else seems to be broken. The notebook is running XP
Home, and connected fine with WiFi before the last time he lent it out.
Which settings is he missing? WiFi card was installed when he got the
notebook--Broadcom, driver v.3.100.35.0.
