Here is the ipconfig for the computer that is working. Some of the security settings were already off. They are now all off. I believe I can copy using a cd. I will try now.

I am downloading netstumbler via cd now. Thanks again.
Downloaded netstumbler. Green bar going across the screen at about -50 dBm. What does this do? Thanks.
I enabled that. Tried to connect to internet - still getting the cannot find server message. Says that wireless connection is excellent. Local area connection - network cable unplugged. PC still working fine. Thanks again1
Hi there. I did plug the cable directly in and it didn't work. My husband did a system restore this morning and now it works again. Thanks for all your help!!
