A few weeks ago my daughters computer crashed. I reinstalled Win 98 and everything works but the internet. She has 2wire wireless and it is getting a strong signal but it just won't work wireless. If I hook it up direct to the DSL hub then you can go on the internet. When you do a link test it says it's sending but nothing received and all going to the lost file. Card diagnostics says everything OK. When I check the infrared software it says Error 45: Your infrared software has encountered an internal error. Check the infrared device's software configuration under Network Properties. If it is an external or installable device, check the connection. Then restart windows. Not sure what to do next. I don't know alot of the computer terms or how to get to the places needed to check things. Anyone help me? Computer is IBM Thinkpad 380Z, windows 98 with CD/DVD player.
Thanks,
tj

I did not take a close look at this site, but you might find help there.

Thanks, I tried that site and did what it said but still not working. Another thing the computer is doing is when you first start it a box comes up under Microsoft Connection Manager and it says service profile is damaged and to re-install and it comes up in safe mode. I don't know what that means or how to re-install.
