Not sure if I read this right but if it's a laptop many of them have a switch that turns off Wi-Fi. I've had customers mistakenly put that switch and no matter what they do in software could make it turn on. A work around for that issue if it's a problem with it Wi-Fi hardware is to get a USB dongle and connect using that.
Thanks!! I've disabled the WIFI and enabled it several times. I hope I
do not have to replace the WIFI card. However I am along for the
ride...
Moved box into my office and will fire up on Ethernet in a bit. Have a
couple things to take care of first.
Thanks for your input!!
