These address a very similar problem
Were you able to download the link to the EeePC manual I gave you in #71? It tells you how to set up a new wireless connection. You might also try disconnecting from the networked drive.
Other than that, I have no idea. I have a EeePC that I’ve been using for quite a while, but it has Xandros Linux on it. It the past when I’ve had problems, I just F9 it when it starts up and do a fresh install. The only problem with that is I loose my bookmarks,and any previous updates or personal files that are not backed up.
