Working on a computere here and its not behaving. It was a computer bought online that wasnt new. I didnt have an IP and wouldnt give itself one. I did ipconfig/release and ipconfig/renew to establish an ip Pings are succesful with 50% data loss and IP DNS and all that is now showing an actual ip and such. It still will not connect to the internet, through ethernet or wireless I go to IE it will say its detecting proxy settings web site found, waiting for reply, and the progress bar will get to about 50% before it gives up after 3 minutes. Im out of ideas here Please help me make this work. Thanks. ---

If you are having 50% data loss, you cable is probably stretched, kinked, nicked etc… start by trying a different cat5 cable and work in from there. ---

Cat5 works fine with other computer now I have another issue and I do the bang head on keyboard. Wireless was working flawlessly and i decided it would be a good idea to disable it and continue to try to get cat5 to work. Since I disabled wireless by double clickcing on it in the start bar it has since disapeared and im driving myself nuts looking for it. WHERE THE HELL DID IT GO! :bangshead: ---

ok well are you still fighting with the wireless or LAN connection? either way go into your network connections, right-click on either\>properties. Select TCP/IP click properties there and see what is selected. ---

In device manager, right click on your wireless with the ! and remove it. Then right click on the top icon and scan for new hardware. Should work to restart your fux0red driver. Enable/disable doesn’t reload the driver. Don’t worry, the driver is still on your computer so you won’t lose it when you remove the device. ---

Try right clicking in the status bar section of the taskbar and choose “Customize Notifications…” See if you can find your (disabled) wireless adaptor status there and change it from “always hide” to “always show.” It’s worth a try to get it back in your task bar so you can work with it. ---

well, fryman, that almost worked. I uninstalled the device and searched and reinstaled it, entered the wep and told it to connect, after about 20 seconds it appeared to have connected but sitll had a red X on the device. No packets were transferring and pings were unsuccessful It still has an explamation point next to it in device mangler. I feel like this is so close to being done but something stupid is in the way. Well, time to go smoke before i smash this thing [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/help-with-internet-issues/63933.md?page=2)
