Caleb,

In cases like this, you shouldn't expect to solve everything immediately. If I
was right in front of the laptop, I could probably diagnose the problem in
stream of consciousness mode, without stopping to think. (Right Chuck). Since
I'm here, and you're there, I have to think what to have you do, then tell you,
then you do it, then you tell me what happened, ... you get the picture.

So in a situation like this, we solve this by patience and persistence. And you
have to have both.

Anyway, since you don't have the "limited or no connectivity" error, that's a
start. Let's see what you do have.

Provide ipconfig information for two computers, as a start. One your laptop,
the second any computer on the LAN.
1) Start - Run - "cmd".
2) Type "ipconfig /all >c:\ipconfig.txt" into the command window.
3) Open Notepad, make sure that Format - Word Wrap is NOT checked!.
4) Open file c:\ipconfig.txt from Notepad.
5) Copy and paste entire contents of the file into your next post.
6) Identify operating system (by name, version, and Service Pack level) with
each ipconfig listing.

Cheers,
Chuck
