Solve : Limited acess!!?

Answer»

Hi, having a problem on my desktop computer, i'm suddenly not getting a wi-fi connection, i've got limited access only or in other words, nothing!

The router is fine no problem connecting my laptop or phone. Windows Network Diagnostics tells me "There might be a problem with the network driver for the wireless network sonnection adapter. Windows couldn't automatically bind the IP protocol stack to the network adapter", whatever that means!

It usually connects with no problems via a D-link wireless dongle, when i go into my control panel it tells me my device is working fine and it's little light is lit up so at the moment i'm stumped, i'd appreciate any help!
I don't want to sound presumptuous, but have you tried simply switching the router and PC off for 3-4 minutes ??  Then switch your router back on first, wait till it starts up and configures, then turn on your PC.Yes i tried that, several times! Tried updating the driver or reinstalling it? I haven't tried re-installing it but the software is up to date.What security software do you have installed?RIGHT now none, i've just recently updated avg security on it, i did wonder if the firewall was causing a problem so uninstalled itIs the interface set to obtaining IP addresses automatically?I don't know, thats a bit to technical a question for me!It might be a hardware problem with the wireless adapter. I would try reinstalling the CD driver software for the adapter to see any improvement. QUOTE from: richie m on January 29, 2012, 04:37:33 AM

I don't know, thats a bit to technical a question for me!

Right click network adapter, properties and then TCP/IP settings.

Have you had Kaspersky installed at any point?Never had kapersky installed, Ive actually just solved it by doing a system restore, restoring to a point before avg and mozilla were updated yesterday, although they might not be related to my problem.  That was the second attempt at a system resore the first one failed, i'll re-install avg and hopefully have no more problems, thanks for all your suggestions.Let us know if it comes back ...

You should give Microsoft security ESSENTIALS a shot. Had better results with it than with AVG Free.I'll let you know if it does, i'm not using the free verson of avg, so having recently paid for it i'd prefer to use it!
