Wireless
Well here goes:
First I brought my old-sucky IBM Thinkpad T40 laptop to my dormitory school.
First it worked with my wireless adapter built into the laptop..
Intel(R) PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter
Then, just one day, the wireless connection for that disappeared, I couldn't use that driver... So I went to walmart and got myself a card thingy..
Wireless G adapter or something like it.. it worked, I was happy
Then about a few weeks later, just one day it stopped working.. i think maybe two weeks ago..
And I reinstalled all the drives, I fiound my
Intel(R) PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter
My wireless is on, the signal says so, the internet connects but I cannot receive any signal, only send...
No the wireless for this dormitory is not wrong, other people's computers work.
Also my ip address is 169.254.xxx.xxx ...which means it's not working..
it should be 10.0.0.XXX ..
Well anyways i went to the network administrator, he found a free ip for me so I changed it to that, but it still doesn't work..
(I went to network connections-the network's properties-properties of the Internet protocol, changed the ip address, subnet mask, and default gateway to a one that should be working)
Also if I do "ping "my ip address"" this comes up:
it comes as sent 4, received 4, lost 0
and the minimum, maximum, and average is 0//
Also:
Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1500MHz 238 mHz, 1.00 GB of RAM
That's all the info I can tell you...if you need more tell me how to get it..
