Internet Gateway Problem

[Doomstadt]

If someone gets this fixed, I'll like, give you my first child (when I have it.)

I have a wireless card, as well as a direct connect port for internet. I can connect to the internet when directly connected, but when I got to wireless, the Internet Gateway icon for Windows XP pops up and says that it is disabled. I go to enable it, it says connecting, never connects, and eventually resets to disabled.

I have no idea what to do, I've messed with firewall exceptions, even turned it off.

zerith, this thread hijacking appears to have also been double posted at http://forums.practicallynetworked.com/showthread.php?t=7135. Please continue on that thread as this thread pertains to a wireless networking issue, while yours appears to be with a wired connection.

Double-posting doesn't get answers any quicker. It just confuses things, if different approaches are explored. There are also "common courtesy" aspects for others using these forums. So what that means... Unproductive postings (cross-posting, double posting, thread hi-jacking, etc.) ultimately degrade the effectiveness of the forums as an information source for all others.
