my parents computer has a wireless d-link wireless receiver DWA-130 and it says that it is connected to the network but i cant update anything or even browse the web it just hangs and does nothing. my sister can use the wireless internet just fine on her laptop and i obviously am using it fine so it is not the router (linksys WRT300N). they only use the computer for the internet so i am running a virus/spyware scan right now to see if there is anything on there but does anyone have any idea what is wrong? i have never run into this sort or problem before ---

It could be the computers problem, but might as well go ahead and unplug the router, wait a min, and plug it back it. MIGHT solve it, if it dosent, you likey have a problem with the computer, probably software issue, might be the hardware. ---

Zone alarm has a problem with a recent XP update. If they have Zone alarm then that was your problem. ---

Uninstall zone alarm. You don’t need a fucking software firewall with a hardware solution already in place. ---

> [@JustinH](#): > > Uninstall zone alarm. > > You don’t need a fucking software firewall with a hardware solution already in place. but software is so much faster than hardware! (though the d-link has shit for a firewall) Do the zone alarm unisntall, if that doesnt work, do the following: Shut down your computer. Unplug the router. Reset the modem till the lights are done flashing plug the router back in , wait till the lights are done flashing turn the laptop back on. More times than not when only one computer is unable to connect to a network that previously had no problems before, there is an address resolution problem.
