Answer 1 :
It sounds like you need a wireless router. they are fairly inexpensive (20-30 dollars US) and you can purchase one at walmart or any electronics store. Follow the directions and set up your wireless router and then the connection will be available for your laptop to connect to. Depending on the model you get, you'll be able to connect to the router from anywhere in your house and possibly even outside. Hope I've helped!

Answer 1 :
France has 220v power. twice the 110v we have here, and the plugs have two round pins. Most modern electronic equipment works on both 110 and 220, but check the label to make sure it says 110-220v or 110-240v. (If you plug something that only works on 110v into a 220v outlet, the results can be very exciting.) Plug adapters are available online, like the link below at Amazon, and also in places where they sell travel goods, like stores that sell suitcases or maps. They're quite cheap, under $5 each. There are also fancier three prong adapters, but unless your appliances have three-prong plugs, you don't need them.

Answer 1 :
please go to bestbuy and they can trouble shoot
Answer 2 :
Have you tried a wired connection, plugging a wire from your computer into your wireless router (most wireless routers have WIRED ports on the back). Check the TCP/IP settings on the LAN CONNECTION, maybe something has changed it to STATIC IP (which is wrong).
Answer 3 :
did u reset the ISP modem, that could sometimes be the case since my wireless router stops working if there is no activity. Also make sure that the settings also match with the info that the ISP has such as email, password, IP address, default gateway. If you still have problems, contact the company that manufactures the router.
Answer 4 :
i know how to fix it stick up your but and around the corner threw your tube and out your Bube
Answer 5 :
Call your internet provider company--they should have a support tech who can walk you through it.
Answer 6 :
The very first thing you should try is to reset everything. 1. Reset your cable modem, wait for the modem to come online. and see if it solved your problem. if not then step 2. 2. Reset your wireless router by pressing and holding the reset button on the back or the bottom of your router. After this, you might need to configure your settings but you can do this later. We are just trying to see if it is your router that is causing your problem. After the reset, see if you can pick up the signal from your laptop and also connect to the internet. If it did not work. 3. While you were in France, have you used static IP address? Go to Start -> Setting -> Network connections -> Right Click on your network conntion -> go to properties -> double click on Intenret Protocol (TCP/IP) -> if there are numbers assigned in the boxes, select "Obtain an IP address automatically
Answer 7 :
go somewhere such as best but or circut city. if they don't know, try calling the company where you bought the laptop. did you get any power-outs in france? it can mess up the connection and other things. hope i helped!
Answer 8 :
It seems that your wireless configuration has been erased from your computer when you used it in France. Your gonna have to get the SSID and WEP/WPA key from your hub/router and configure it on your computer so it can connect wirelessly.
