Tech Clinic / limited or no connectivity
« on: April 10, 2005, 02:48:28 PM »
2 out of three isn't bad BUT,
I'm running a "LINKSYS"
My main desktop w/ XP Pro SP2 runs fine as does my backup system which also has XP Pro SP2. The problem is my Toshiba Satellite Laptop it still won't connect (or atleast let me on the NET, it does show up on my LINKSYS when plugged in) It is also w/ XP Pro SP2. I've done nothing different on any of the OS installs but the laptop insists on the [color=\"red\"]"Limited or no connectivity"[/color] I've pulled the cable connection from either desktop and tried it in the laptop....(I'm not trying to run all three at once.....I only need 2) The laptop won't connect even if plugged in bypassing the LINKSYS...it did connect with a version of XP Home prior to the XP Pro (direct connect not via the Workgroup Switcher).
Additional info: Backup system has an earlier version of XP Pro and was updated with sp2. Main system has a new version of XP Pro that has SP2 already included in the CD. Installed a new XP Pro w/Sp2 on the laptop.
If I plug in the laptop the lights on my LINKSYS show it's connected to the laptop....and when I unplug the cable from the back of the laptop it shows the cable has been pulled. (you get the little X'd computer icon lower right corner.)
