UNSOLVED
Limited or No Connectivity
Hi all
So my Inspiron laptop was giving me a lot of trouble, so I downloaded a free virus scan software called AVG. It found a bunch of files that we "Trojan downloaders" so I "healed" a number of them. I think in this process I deleted some files I needed to get online, cause when I restarted again, I get a message "Limited or No Connectivity" in my Wireless Network Connection window. The internet will not connect. I have tried resetting the IP through DOS commands and the manual way (assigning a static IP address then moving it to a dynamic IP). Both methods take away the error message but it will still not connect to the internet. Device manager shows the Wireless Card is working fine. I saw that there is a program you can download to fix anything accidentally removed but I can't get on through an Ethernet cable or dialup (in fact AOL won't even recognize my phone line plugged in) so I can't download any programs.
Help!

- I believe it is:
Dell Wireless 1350 WLAN Mini-PCI Card
It's internal.
I am having lots of connectivity problems. It never stays for too long. It cuts out like I mentioned or sometimes goes and won't come back at all. Also I get an error that the computer is restarting and to save work, and counts down from a minute. I got this three times, and the first time was the only time it actually did it. I have gotten this error before too, I think it is related to my hardware problems. I was having some other problems a few days ago so tomorrow a tech is coming to replace my processor and motherboard. Maybe this will help.
