Troubleshooting Wireless

In case you ever come across the following symptoms:

The wireless is working on the (Linksys) router & adapter but then it stops working. The signal strength is excellent but cannot pull an IP address.

The suggestion from the site http://forums.techguy.org/networking/588716-solved-connected-router-wireless-but.html worked. You must repair the TCP/IP stack for Windows XP SP2:

1. Start, Run, CMD to open a command prompt.
2. Reset WINSOCK entries to installation defaults: netsh winsock reset catalog
3. Reset TCP/IP stack to installation defaults: netsh int ip reset reset.log
4. Reboot the machine.
