Hi,

Wireless network worked for about 3 months then
mysteriously stopped working. Nothing obviously changed,
there are no extra fire-walls etc. The Networking
Troubleshooter in the Help and Support tools shows
everything passed. The ip addresses are as you might
expect.

One thing I thought of was the possibility that one of
the pc's (there are two) is more up to date than the
other, and sure enough there was a wireless 'roll-up' fix
and this has only been installed on one. The symtoms are
that the second computer cannot browse the internet
anymore although everything else works fine (file and
printer sharing).

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
 
Another user (Himanshu Gohel) indicated that hotfix 826942 should be uninstalled unless your card and router are both upgradeable to firmare that supports WPA instead of WEP. See if that fixes the problem
 
I had the same issues after installing the XP 826942 patch. My dlink 514 router does not support WAP, so my laptop does not see the router at all any more. I uninstalled the patch, but that did not correct my problem. Anyone have any other ideas?
