Do you have a home network? Can you connect to another machine using your network, if you have one?
Are you using any wireless at all on that machine?
Not a home network. Just one computer.
No wireless either.
I guess I will just have to see if the new modem they’re sending (should arrive on Friday) fixes the problem.
If not, not sure where else to look for a solution.
Hopefully don’t have to end up re-formatting (and that may not even solve the problem).
The other thing I noticed when going to services.msc is this:
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\mscorsvw.exe
Whenever I start the service it stops itself within seconds. It’s pretty crucial for this to be running whenever the machine is on, isn’t it?
Also, in the Event Log is this...
The following boot drivers failed to load:
SASDIFSV
SASKUTIL
However, when I go to “Device Manager” and pull up network adapters, I see “Intel(R) PRO/100 VE Network Connection” and there’s no red circle or yellow exclamation marks through it.
It says this device is working properly, until I go to the “Link Speed” tab and choose “Diagnostics.” The tests under the “Hardware” section all pass, but the one’s under “Connection” and “Link” fail.
Says the adapter has no link.
New modem should be here within the next few hours. Hopefully that will fix the problem, but it’s a shot in the dark.
