Default Trouble connecting to the Internet.

I'm trying to connect to the internet on my home PC with Windows XP. It's a Belkin Wireless Networking Utility 2.1. It has a screen and it's telling me my signal strength is the best, it's secure, but when connecting to the router, it won't connect for some reason. I've been having Belkin for a while now and it was working fine; did a System Restore like 30 minutes ago because MaCatte was on my PC and it was a backdoor trojan. So, I did that and now I still can't connect to my router. Any ideas?

Yes. Try using a cable and connecting to the router. We can go from there but I suggest that first.

Make sure your PC isn't trying to use a static IP.

The other day a doc came up to S6 wondering why his computer didnt have the "little globe" ahahah.

People with doctorates that can't run a computer make me smile. Least they take care of me when we get hit my mortor's and RPG's weekly
