Think my network card is fucked up
Things I would try:
1st: reset the wireless connections (this is probably not necessary, but, no risk, just to be sure):
- open search, type "services.msc" open services.
- Scroll down to "wlan auto config" right click, stop the service.
- Navigate to
"C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Wlansvc\ delete everything in this folder leaving only a folder called "profiles" delete everything in the "profiles" folder except for a folder called "interfaces" delete everything in the "interfaces" folder)
- Restart "wlan auto config" connect to your wireless network, enter your passkey, (ensure the connect automaticly box is checked)
2nd: reset all network settings: (from the Microsoft page, , all is fine and dandy)
- "cmd", and then select Run as administrator > Yes
- At the command prompt, run the following commands in the listed order, and then check to see if that fixes your connection problem:
- Type netsh winsock reset and press Enter.
- Type netsh int ip reset and press Enter.
- Microsoft gives extra steps here, but we're not pre windows XP era, ipconfig /release and renew are a thing of the past (in this case)
3rd: unstalling the network adapter driver: time consuming ......
4th: TEH NUKE!
Before this step, visit your NIC manufacturer website and download the latest nic driver, back it up on a flash drive and wear a bombvest (j/k)
be carefull: in cmd prompt type "netcfg –d". This will remove any network adapters from your pc and the settings for them.
REBOOT.
Then, reinstall the drivers. <- how-to-link. It's pretty straight forward, but don't take it lightly.
5th: cross your fingers.
