I have a Dell laptop and was using Limewire and Bearshare with no problem wireless. Just recently I've gotten messages from both saying I'm not connected to the internet or it can't connect to the gnutella network. It's not a firewall issue. I dropped my firewall and it's to no avail. When I just plug the DSL cable into the laptop, everything is fine. Like I said, everything was running fine until just now. I don't understand what the problem is. I'd really appreciate some help. Please, something more constructive than "Laptops SuX0rZ! Get wired!" I'm not super computer adept, so too much techno speak will make my head explode. I was hoping for a simple solution in small words. I've already tried deleting the preference file like one of the threads said. I'm using a public wi fi connection, so I can't do anything to it as far as settings go. It has to be something I can do from my laptop. So...any suggestions?
Thanks,
CP
