Ok,here's the deal, I put windows back on my computer after SOMETHING or anthor happened and I use a Linksys wireless network card to GET internet off a computer that sits out in the living room,now I went on the SITE for Linksys because they have a self fix tool that will get all the DRIVERS needed etc, ( I hooked my computer up to the LAN line in the living room)EVERYTHING was set couple days go by and I decide to move it to a different room,so I do and when I turn it on it shows me the found new hardware setup screen,for the network card ! so I shut it down take it back out to the LAN line and when I start it up it is acting fine,so then I'm thinking ok??? so I take it back in the room and it does it again , until I finally had too take it out there ,do it all again just in case and brought it back sat the computer up higher...and its been fine but I just shut it down because of the heat it generates in the room , then turned it back on and boom did it again, I then restarted it and it was fine Your computer wireless link could possibly have
the AFDB syndrome.

Maybe you will need to find what is blocking the signal.


------->AFDB The aerial is coated in Aluminium Solid Foil? Or is there a beanie on it?

Is the computer in question a laptop? What do you mean you get internet off a computer that sits in the living room? Sorry I don't follow the sentence structure.


If it's giving you the add new hardware screen for a wireless card then perhaps it was never installed correctly or was knocked out. Try downloading appropriate drivers / software and then removing the card and removing it from device manager. (Right-click My Computer > Manage > Device Manager > Networking stuff).
