I believe in the recent past, I used the same Linksys wireless adaptor as you are speaking of. Do you plug it into one of the ports of your computer? Well, anyway, I use a Qwest wireless adapter now, as my modem is a Qwest modem. But here is what happened to me and the Linksys adapter. Hope you've got a light probe or can get a set of eyes. Once I had my computer rebuilt from the Trojans, each time I turned it on, my Linksys adapter would not come on. I literally had to go into Control Panel under connections and hook up to my wireless again. Eventually, my Linksys adapter wasn't coming on at all. I called in a set of eyes. Problem, no light was showing on the Linksys adapter. I think I may have dropped it. It's not quite two years old. Anyway, went to Best Buy and for $46 got a Qwest wireless adapter. Now adays they even install themselves.
Hope this helps! To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart.

Every time I turned on my computer, it would automatically connect. the last few days I've had to manually connect it each time I start the computer. And it's not JAWS friendly. Anybody have an idea why this has changed? Blessings, Tom ____________________________________________________________ Government Personal DEBT Bailout Plan Reduce Your Personal Debt up to 65%.
