It's been 2 days since I have been able to connect wirelessly and I have exhausted every possible fix I could find. It's time for me to post and try to find a networking super-sleuth.
Here's the story: Everything was working fairly well and out of no where, the connection dropped. It connected for 5 minutes yesterday, but has yet to return.
Here's my specs: OS Name Microsoft Windows XP Professional Version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 Build 2600 System Name ACER-E8F5014F99 System Manufacturer Acer System Model TravelMate 4200 Router: Belkin Wireless G computer is a laptop with internal wireless card Cable modem motorola surfboard
Here's my ipconfig/all:

I have run WinsockFix I have enabled Wireless Zero Configuration I have uninstalled and re-installed the drivers I have done a system restore and went back to last week. my wireless switch is on. I have disabled/enabled/rebooted/reconnected all of the devices in every combination and many times. My system can detect the wireless signal, it is strong. I am only one foot away from the router. I have no other wireless signals in the area. I did not get a new cordless phone or baby monitor.
I am at a complete loss here. I'm hoping that someone here will look at my ipconfig and figure it right out.
Thanks, Lisa
