Wireless Problems

[novacaine98]

I have a linksys wireless access point router model befw11s4 and three computers. Two of the computers are running windows xp pro and the other is running media center 2005. I've had this setup for quite a while now and everything worked fine until yesterday. For some reason I cannot figure out the computer with media center can't open any websites.

I checked the wireless card configuration and it says that its connected to the network and the signal strength is at 100%. The other two computers have no problems opening any websites. I reset the configuration settings and router. Uninstalled and re-installed the network card but it just won't open any websites.

Can somebody please help me?

You have probably have pick up weither some type of virus or spyware that has messed up your system. Run ad--aware or spybot as well as an anti-virus scan. Another good idea is to use a program called Hijack-this, save the log file (do not remove ANYTHING) and post it here. If I see it I will check it out, I'm sure that there ore others that can as well.

I ran a norton anti-virus scan, lavasoft adware scan and spybot search and destroy scan. They all came up clean.

As The_Urge says, download Hijack-this, and post your log file.
You can get it here http://www.download.com/HijackThis/3000-8022_4-10379544.html?tag=lst-0-1

I can't sign into windows messenger and I already have mozilla. It doesn't work either.

Ohh on that computer norton's definitions are out of date. I have the up to date definitions on another computer. Is there a file I can copy over to update the definitions?

 

[dnoch]

You should be able to update the definitions over a network, link the 2 computers with a cat-5 cable.

 

[novacaine98]

I only have one cat-5 cable and it's connected to the router and computer one. If I remove it then I won't be able to access the internet. Also the two computers are nowhere near each other hence the reason I'm using for computers two and three.
