[nfbcs] Network info inconsistency

[nancy coffman]

It sounds stupid but I would turn off all of the networking including the modem for 2 minutes then turn them back on. The glitch may be your connection to the outside and have nothing to do with your wreless.

Subject: [nfbcs] Network info inconsistency

Please riddle me this:
Last night, my netbook wouldn't connect to my wireless network.  It said
"limited or no connectivity".  But, when I went to the Control Panel,
Network Connections, and View Available Networks, there was my network
"signal strength excellent; connected".
So, why does one part of my netbook say I'm connected, and the rest say
not?  (And it really appeared to be not.)  And how can I figure out the
cause of not connecting?
And can anyone recommend a source for learning about this kind of thing,
quick and dirty?  I'm not terribly interested in all the details, but I do
want to be able to fix my own darn connection when it doesn't work. Is
there some helpful book, or something like that?
I'm running XP on my netbook.
Thanks.
Tracy
