I have an IBM Laptop and my internet stopped working a few weeks ago. Neither wired or wireless work. Wired give me a message of limited or no connectivity. Wireless, you see the network but it wont connect. I have turned off my firewall, disabled wireless internet security, ran a Winsock fix, all with no luck. Please help me! I used to think i was half way computer smart!
