♥Social Butterfly♥: i need help regarding wireless connnection?
I connect to my brothers computer through my wireless connection, when i connect, it says not connected, but at the bottom it says that i am connected to it. I try to access the internet, but it says on firefox, page load error. After a while, the wirless connection says that the connection has limited connectivity. I have no idea what that means since my bro didnt limit any connectivity. HOw can i fix this?

There is a bug in Windows XP Service Pack 2 relating to a loss of network connectivity for computers that use Microsoft’s L2TP-based (VPN) client. You may also notice that your computer gets stuck acquiring a network address

To fix this problem you need to download and install the Microsoft patch (KB884020). You can download the fix here). After installing the fix you should reboot your computer.

If you still experience the same problem after the fix you should check your network for problems including faulty network cables or network cards. You should also check to make sure your DHCP device is functioning properly and that your computer is set to receive an IP address automatically.
