Wirless modum is woking with a separate xp computer and the Windows Me
computer used to work wireless but it stopped working.

In control panel, network, tcp/ip , I chose obtain an ip addr automatically
and detect connection to network media, ok, ok and it says it downloads
settings but I still can't connect.

It used ot work, then it worked sometimes and now not at all.

Where did you get it and what did it do? I installed some stuff for my
Motorola Razr V3m on my winME about a year ago. The cell and the PC
communicated but anything worthwhile, like transferring photos to the
PC, seemed to require premium services which I never heard anyone say
were worth buying. I still have some Btstart service (Bluetooth)
running. Did it do anything really worthwhile? I have begun using the
system monitor most of the time and have been wondering why it shows
I'm burning up about 75% of the cpu cycles just doing AV, Bluetooth,
and running the Cable Modem. When the computer first starts, the
first minute or so, it gets by with less than 25% but within 5 minutes
it always gets up to 75%. Starting a browser session presses the pedal
to the metal for about 8 to 10 seconds then its down to 75 % again...

Did you ever use the System Monitor when you were using wireless?

As far as that goes, what are your meters now? (memory manager and
kernel processor)?

Re: can't connect to web

One of the tools I've used for checking network connections is Ping.
Start with pinging yourself, 127.0.0.1, etc. If you can't get a
response then you don't have a connection, or at least you don't have
a tcp / ip connection. What kind of result do you get with ping (from
the command prompt)?
