Wireless problem solved - Cursed Nokia

Sarn

After banging my head against the wall for quite a while trying to get internet access with my wireless card (despite excellent signal) I finally solved the problem.

Nokia connection manager is a piece of software supplied with their bluetooth phones. Unbeknownst to myself, installing this piece of software prevented my wireless card from connecting to the internet (don't use wireless that often). Most likely I configured it wrong the first time. Needless to say uninstalling it solved the problem. The annoying thing is I rarely use the bluetooth on my laptop and never when I switch on the wireless connection.

Just in case this happens to someone else.

Sarn,
is the nokia software you're talking about the software liked to DataSuite or is it the software for using ur mobile as a modem? I'm just about to install that on my laptop

It's installed with the PC suite software i.e. to synchronise your phone, transfer data files etc. Hope it worked ok for you.

Yeah I've had a few problems with the Nokia connection manager also. It fubard my internal modem in the laptop. Uninstalling it solved problem.
