I'm lost...
PC: Dell laptop (unsure of exact model), running a jacked up XP (pirated version someone put on it somewhere along the line).
So...this PC OBVIOUSLY has issues aside from its networking woes...but still, here's the deal:
I set up static IP and DNS. (After restarting the Windows Zero Configuration service...every time I start the PC...very strange...) I can connect to the AP (my personal Linksys WRT54G) and ping the loopback IP but nothing else. I can't ping the gateway, the DNS server, a remote site by URL or IP, nothing. (Didn't try a pc on the LAN.)
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
