I am trying to help my brother access the net all over again. He was able to til just a couple days ago. I don't know anything about networks but I did look at his Event Viewer and I don't know if anything I found even helps...
He gets a signal (2 bars) but IE says no connection ..
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers but when I put the CD in the autorun brings up the Linksys window for a split second (so fast you can't even tell the colour) and it is gone again. I explored the CD and tried to run it directly but same thing.
These are the things I grabbed from the Event Viewer:
