Thread: wireless connection lost

  1. wireless connection lost

    I have windows xp on my toshiba laptop. I installed a vpn and have been
    using my D-link router. I received message that there is an ip conflict.
    The message went away, but now I can't access the internet on my laptop. I
    tried run and ipconfig/release; however, it has a message that media state:
    media disconnected. I tried ipconfig/release and it says no operation can be
    performed on network bridge (network bridge 7) while it has its media
    disconnected. How do I get another connect again to my router?

    I just want to be able to access the internet again. Thanks for your help.

    are you trying to use the built in Toshiba wireless or a USB
    adapter? is the Toshiba wireless turned on? there is either a switch
    or combination of keys you press.

  8. Re: wireless connection lost

    I was trying to use the toshiba wireless. The switch is turned on. I tried
    to install a USB adapter Belkin to see if it would find a wireless signal but
    it would not connect either.

    unplug and uninstall the USB wireless adapter. Then, please use
    System Restore and try going back to a restore point before you
    installed the VPN adapter and started making any changes.

  13. Re: wireless connection lost

    that is the COMPLETE result of ipconfig /all?

    http://digitalmediaphile.wordpress.c...t-text-output/

    there is a Network Bridge shown. do you have an older restore point?
    which VPN did you install? you need to get back to a state before
    you installed this VPN adapter, created bridges, etc.

    Primary Dns Suffix
    Node Type….. Unknown
    IP Routing Enabled No
    WINS Proxy Enabled…………No
    Ethernet adapter Network bridge network Bridge) 4:

    Connection-specific DNS Suffix
    Description………………MAC Bridge Miniport
    Physical ddress………..02-02-2D-6B-C7-Cu
    Dhcp Enabled…………..Yes
    Autoconfiguration Enabled……Yes

  15. Re: wireless connection lost

    the restore point is from 2000? 8 years ago? that does not sound
    right. the config below still shows a network bridge. in the network
    window, what do you see? can you unbridge the connections? does your
    company have an IT dept that can look at this (is this a company or
    personal computer?)

  16. Re: wireless connection lost

    Well, i took the wireless network connection off the network bridge and now
    my wireless network is enabled and I was able to log onto the internet.
    "wow" I cannot believe it. Thank you so much.

    One question, the vpn shows as disconnected. What do you advise to allow
    the vpn connection? thank you for everything.
