Hi Guys,
thanks for reading my post....questions, questions,
Yes it works fine when its hardwired to the router, the router is fine I run a kick a** PC with two laptops (inc this one) the issue is definatly local, i.e this laptop as when I go a roaming, I'm out on the road, I use wifi spots to pick up emails and check forums....I have the same issue at every access point regardless of supplier I think I need to re-set/re-install TCP/IP, yes I get a proper IP Address however I think it could be somthing to do with DNS renewal and renewal if the IP, unfortunatly tcp/ip is such an imbedded part of XP you can't actually get to it. This seemed to be a pretty switched on forum with some good answers from other people on other subjects I was hoping someon else may have experianced this issue and knew the fix before I go for a dreadded format.........
Thanks again

OK Guys & Girls (and everything inbetween..... )
Laptop has a wifi card (pcmcia-watsit slot thingy) turn on laptop get conection to router but no internet no lan no nothing.......
this is what i have to do to get it to work....
network connections/wifi properties/ uncheck tcp/ip reboot laptop go back to properties and re-check tcp/ip aquires network address....whoosh away we go.....
so i brought a new wifi card by a different maker, after re-installing again and again, still same problem, upgraded to xp pro....still there....i've tried ipconfig /flushdns /release /renew all sorts of stuff, updates, ms knowledge base, winsockxpfix, the last resort is of course format start again but you all know what a ball-ache that is, oh and btw no there isn't a restore point I can go back to or a "rescue" disc either ( no don't lecture me, its normally me doing the lecturing...."did we make a back up?" no I fecking didn't thats why I phoned you fool! )
anyway, what do you think, any idea's? I can continue the messing about (its quicker if i uncheck tcp/ip before i shutdown, thats if i remember) but its when you are working away, like I am now.......and it looses its connection and I have to uncheck, repair, recheck, test. just to make a post on a forum......
Thanks in advance

Thanks PPl,
I think I'm going to have to do a full format and reinstall of the OS I have tried most of the above (except devcon) if I ipconfig /release then renew it will not renew the ip address even in properties advanced windows tells me that the WMI is corrupt for all connections so I have that horrible sick feeling you get just before you face the facts and re0install, I will try the devcon first
thanks again people.
