I have a main desktop in my house that has the router , dsl box ,etc.

I use my laptop and its wifi feature to connect and its been working for the past 6 months straight. My mom also uses her laptop.

RANDOMLY recently my laptop stopped connected and my moms. I unplugged the dsl box for 30 seconds, and the desktop connected fine, and my moms laptop connected fine, but now my laptop wont connect.

The wireless network shows up on my laptop, but it just WONT connect. (it says "connected!") though.

I went into cmd.exe and typed in IPCONFIG and it said:


Ethernet adapter Wireless Network Connection:

        Media State..............Media Disconnected

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection Connection:

        Media State..............Media Disconnected


then i typed in ipconfig /all and got:


Windows IP Configuration

      Host name....................... : myhostname
      Primary DNS Suffix ............  :
      Node Type.....................   : broadcast
      IP Routing Enabled.................. : no
