Solve : VPN disables wireless? |
|
Answer» My company had me install Fiberlink VPN. It worked fine as LONG as I was running Windows XP, but then the company re-imaged all the computers with Windows 2000 to cure a software problem. After that, two things happened. The first was that the wireless card built in to the Dell C560 BECAME permanently disabled. I TALKED to every support desk I could think of, downloaded patches, etc., but nothing worked. To get back onto wireless I had to buy a Netgear USB transceiver. Now I can get onto wireless, BUT, the Fiberlink VPN software will not recognize my (or anyone else's) wireless router. I talked to the folks at Fiberlink and they told me 1) they don't support end users, and 2) there is a known issue with Fiberlink sometimes DISABLING Windows 2000's ability to manage wireless networks. There is a cure, but they don't know what it is. And yes, I have uninstalled and reinstalled Fiberlink (3 times, 2 DIFFERENT ways). Does anyone know how to restore Windows 2000's ability to manage wireless networks? |
