First of all --- I'm not a programmer . . . just having trouble with a
forced install of the .NET framework and thought this forum may be helpful
with troubleshooting. If not, my apologies.

While installing Crystal Ball v7.2 from Decisioneering (stochastic modeling
software), I was required to first install MS .NET framework 1.1 and the
related service pack. Did that with no errors reported.

Upon reboot I can no longer connect to my Linksys wireless router in
wireless mode. Ethernet works fine, but the wireless adapter seems to be
affected. The adapter is enabled, but it cannot connect. Furthermore, when
searching for available wireless networks it sees no SSIDs in the area (and
there are many broadcasting within reach). I have a built-in wireless
adapter (High Rate Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Adapter with Modem II) and the
ethernet adapter is an Intel PRO/100 VE. router is a Linksys 802.11b. I
know the router is still broadcasting because my other PC picks it up.

I have no idea what .NET does, nor do I really care, honestly. I just want
to get my wireless connection back up and running. How did the Microsoft
..NET install screw things up?

Thanks in advance for suggestions and advice.
 
Thanks Lloyd. I'll try it out.

Meanwhile, if anyone else happens to have a suggestion, please lay it on me.
 
I've been having a problem the last couple of weeks with my wireless system
after installing the latest XP service packs, which I was forced to do
before installing .Net 2.0. So I'm thinking it's not the framework, but the
service pack.

Maybe the latest drivers from your hardward provider will help.
 
You're exactly right --- I solved the problem by a simple device driver
reinstall. Should have looked at that in the first place. I still hate
microsoft.
