I have 3 desktops and 2 laptops on my network. Two of the desktops are wired, and the last desktop and both laptops are wireless.
I am unable to connect to the wireless desktop named "GUESTROOM". When I pull up the router in a browser, it recognizes the computer is there and when I pull up MacAfee on another computer it recognizes that GUESTROOM is part of it's network, but is offline. This started out of the blue yesterday. I have uninstalled/reinstalled the driver for the network adapter and it is not working.
Router: Dlink Dir-655
Model: SURFboard SB6121
Connecting via Cox Cable
Network Adapter: DLink DWA-131
System: Win XP Home
Service Pack 3
