Compaq Lap/Belkin G+ Wireless Notebook Card: no Internet Connection
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi,
I just did a total Restore/Reinstall ( 2x actually ) on my husband's Compaq Presario Laptop yesterday ( Operating System/Compaq stuff, his Norton Internet Security Suite 2003, and the Belkin CD, then insertion of the Belkin Notebook Card ).
( Internet Connection/Function was FINE before the Restore/Reinstalls. )
I cannot get an Internet Connection at all ( even after 2nd Restore/Reinstall ); which made no change at all.
( There is a strong signal from the Router, Ping to Router and Host are fine, Network Diagnostics all fine. Host ( my system ) is connected; never a disconnection. )
1) I did an Uninstall of the trial Norton Internet Security Suite 2003 which was bundled with the Compaq; rebooted, before installing his Norton Internet Security Suite 2003.
2) I tried Winsock Fix, Layer Fix with the first Restore/Reinstall; reboot, no change.
3) I did Uninstall/Reinstall of Norton in case installation files corrupted; reboot, no change
4) I checked Windows Zero Configuration on Host and Compaq Laptop.

I did not yet try to disable Norton Firewall; as it always automatically created rules which allowed for instant and smooth Internet Connection and Function.
I worked for 11 hours on this mess yesterday; and am at it again today.

Anybody have any ideas how to resolve this issue?

Thanks,
Ravenquille

Hi welcome to the forum Well I'd try they disabling the firewall first and see if the result is the same. If you can ping your connected.
