backstory, got a puppy in 2010, promptly ate the wife's lappers powercord.....I had another lapper I wasn't using, she started using that one. Fast forward to now, finally get around to getting a cord, machine boots fine, she still wants it formatted, so I nuke and pave using the original install disk......here's the odd part....
reinstalled all drivers and tested network connectivity on my 'off domain' network at work, tested fine, d/l updates, etc etc.....get it home, connect it to my wireless, nada...map shows it dying out after hitting 'unidentified network', yet I am connected (per my router) as the correct name for the pc....AND it shows the correct assigned IP address from the router...belkin n300, fwiw. lapper is a compaq presario c700.
dunno what else. uninstalled, reinstalled both adapter and drivers, and it worked at one point in time....no updates installed since it worked.
ideas?
