   Off-topic - sudden hardware weirdness - 'media disconnected'
  Hi,SOrry to post a hardware issue here, but I don't participate in many forums.... and GD.net is the best!I've got a network at home, one PC(wired) and one laptop(wireless) running thru a D-link G604T ADSL router.Been working fine for months, then all of a sudden my laptop wont connect. IPCONFIG reveals 'media disconnected' state.Routers setup utility at 192.168.1.1 shows both PC and laptop on network!!!Has anyone experienced anything similar??? I am at a loss, laptop is only 3 months old!!!ThanksSimon   
  I'm moving this to The Lounge.   ;  I have the same router...It isn't very reliable, so don't blame the laptop at first. My routers already packed in once. Have you tried the obvious things first? Ie - rebooting the router?   ;  I also had one of these routers, and it died too. Just another data point.   ;  Yes, I agree the router looks a little shaky...It's now working again. I had to unsecure the wireless access, then resecure it, and it works........ for how long, who knows!Simon
