Try changing the encryption key in the router's wireless settings. This will, of course, mean that you have to go through the procedure to "Connect" again with both the Windows 7 Laptop and the gaming PC.

Is there a setting to configure the wireless card to work in 802.11g mode only, which would be appropriate for a WRT54G router?

You could install Windows Live Mail in Windows 8 (which is what I've done) and then transfer your Windows 7 Contacts into Windows 8. Copy the Contacts folder from Windows 7 (to a USB stick or whatever) and Paste it into your User account in Windows 8 to replace the blank one. Then, in Windows...

If this is something you do via a browser, rather than connecting to a Wireless Access Point, deleting any cookies and/or saved Username & Password setting may let you start again.

I don't understand this. As "davehc" says, clicking on the network icon in the Notification Area, or from Settings in the Charms bar, displays all the Available Wireless Networks. There shouldn't be any need for a third-party application to achieve this.:think:

I don't think there is anything more I can usefully contribute, sorry.

I should have mentioned that your Wireless Network Adapter appears to be connecting to a router with an IP address of 192.168.1.254 already, so what is it doing at the moment?

If the "PPP Adapter Wireless Terminal" is actually a USB Modem and your internet connection, it is that adapter that needs to be shared. Because you have another two network adapters - Local Area Connection (wired ethernet) and Wireless Network Connection - you should have the option (drop down...

Now that's really confusing. You have a Wireless Network Adapter with the IP address 192.168.1.6 and the PPP Adapter Wireless Terminal with the IP address 10.150.55.165 - which of these is your internet connection? (I don't actually know what the PPP Adapter Wireless Terminal is!) I've just run...

From your screenshot, you should have "shared" the PPP adapter Wireless Terminal which is your actual internet connection. When you do this, Windows should give the Local Area Connection the IP address 192.168.0.1 with Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0; there is no Default Gateway or DNS Server address...

Where have you set IPv4 to obtain its addresses automatically? When you enable ICS on your actual internet connection (USB Modem), Windows should configure the adapter with which you connect to the Xbox with the IP address 192.168.0.1 and Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 Your Xbox should then get...

Would it help to create Shutdown and Restart shortcuts on the Desktop? Shutdown: C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe /s /t 0 Restart: C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe /r /t 0

OK, set the Local Area Connection back to getting its addresses automatically as it appears not to be the adapter that is used to connect. At some time, additional software must have been installed to create the "Cyber" network adapter which is used with the service and I think you are going...

I suspect the loss of the Default Gateway address is the problem; this should be the router's IP address. Try allocating fixed addresses. Press the Windows Key+R to open the Run box. Type in ncpa.cpl and press Enter to open the Network Connections folder. Right click the Local Area Connection...

What do you mean by "Limited Connectivity"? Is Windows allocating an APIPA 169.254.x.x IP address? You could try repairing the TCP/IP stack: Open a Command Prompt window and, at the prompt, type... netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt ...and press Enter (note the spaces in the command...

What I'd be inclined to do is, when the PC loses internet, reboot it and run ipconfig /all in a Command Prompt window to see if it still gets its IP address. To do this, press Windows key+X and, from the menu that opens, select Command Prompt. At the prompt, type ipconfig /all and press Enter...

mudit72, Check in Device Manager that the Wireless Network Adapter is installed properly, i.e. it doesn't have a "question" or "exclamation" mark against it indicating a problem. Also, if the computer is a Laptop, check that WiFi is switched on.

"trebills" makes mine seem somewhat slow by comparison.

Are others in the building also losing their internet access at a similar time? Upgrading to Windows 8 could be co-incidental. There are some really bizarre things that can upset an ADSL signal if that's how the building gets its access.

I have seen a similar problem in another forum where a member has to reboot the router after the PC wakes up in order to regain internet access. I suspect what this is actually achieving is to re-assign the IP etc addresses to the PC which it has lost. After waking, run ipconfig /all in a...
