Consultant, i dont have a card put into an expansion slot. The only card that we have will fit into my comp, but the cables dont fit into the connections. And yes, my motherboard does have onboard ethernet. It has two connections in the back, both are enabled. I have tried disabling one, but that didnt work. I have tried to connect to both of them, but that hasnt worked either.

Grave, that sounds interesting. That could be the problem, but how would i fix something like that? I cant find the software for my router or any thing, but i shouldnt need it since my internet was working at one point.

Get creative...

grab a USB Thumb drive, head to her computer (with internet), download the driver for the wireless, transfer it from the thumb drive to your PC, install it, THEN try the wireless antenna.

Troubleshoot, son! Troubleshoot!

Think SOLUTION!

Your issue is probably different than mine then, but the software should be easily found on the manufacturers website.
Like consultant said, try whatever you can to single out the exact problem.

Ok, now this is just friggin weird. I just walked into the living room to my sisters computer and replied to yall. Then i come back into my room and Xfire is connected. I click on Mozilla and boom, im connected. W.....T......F Is there some sort of fucking poltergeist going on with my computer or something?!

could your computer be having trouble connecting with the router? that is strange.

There could be a problem in your DHCP service where it can't hang onto an IP address for some reason and it just sorted itself out...

Every "weird" connection issue I've ever had that wasnt related to the equipment on the ISP's end could be solved by turning off my router and modem, turning off my PC and letting it sit for a minute...then turning everything back on...

I dont explain why, I just rejoice when it works again.

So, my internet worked all last night. I never lagged once playing AoC. I thought, finally, the problem is solved. But i get up this morning and i had the same exact problem.....no internet. However, i believe the problem is solved now. I went and bought a wireless USB adapter and it seems to be running just fine. Lets hope that is lasts...*crosses fingers* Thanks for all the tips guys, i really appreciate all the help that yall gave me.
