Sorry about the caps but we have multiple laptops running at present. Thought maybe they had the" work offline" checked but couldn't be that simple, too bad. Today I went as far as running the laptop straight from the cable modem and got the same results. I have asked the owners for a bit more clarity about what and when. I have been informed that this laptop had the harddrive replaced twice and the optical drive replaced, due to overheating problems. Shortly after those issues the network connection woes began. Maybe something else is scorched on the mobo? They have no recovery disks I am told. Just keeps getting better and better... -J

Have sent an e-mail off to LG asking where I can find drivers for this device as there is no manufactuers name listed.. Hopefully this will resolve the connection issues. -J

I always find it very difficult to nail down hardware problems. I would have hoped that nothing were broken. That line is discontinued by LG http://snipr.com/u3sxh R405-G.CP02A9 DISCONTINUED PRODUCT R405-A.CP06A9 DISCONTINUED PRODUCT R405-A.CP05A9 DISCONTINUED PRODUCT R405-A.CP04A9 DISCONTINUED PRODUCT R405-A.CB02A9 DISCONTINUED PRODUCT R405-A.CP03A9 DISCONTINUED PRODUCT R405-A.CB01A9 DISCONTINUED PRODUCT .... and the LG site doesn't even make it easy to search on R405. Even after I had found it/them and then wandered off, returning to their search function from another page kept coming up empty. Many LT boards are made by the same people and just packaged and branded by some company like LG. -- Mike Easter

So it's not either of the other 2 hardware devices that generally deal with connecting to a router. The wired or wireless ethernet adapters? -- Pete Ives Remove All_stRESS before sending me an email

Will wait for LG's response and move forward from there. Keep any ideas flowing , please. -J |
