My sister has a laptop running Vista that I recently reformatted and updated and all that fun stuff. Things were working fine, but then the moment she gets a hold of it there are network issues.
We've got a wireless network in our house, and her computer has the correct network and password to it, and even has "excellent" signal strength. However, she can't get on the internet because it says she's connected, but under "access" it says "limited connectivity".
I've tried resetting the router and re-doing the network connection settings on her computer. Wireless internet still works fine for me on my desktop and PSP, so it must be her computer. Also, there was an optional hardware update for her network card, but the last time I installed those drivers, she couldn't get on the internet at all, so all network card drivers are rolled back.
Strangely, this problem only comes up about 25% of the time after she restarts. It would randomly go away, and then randomly come back.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated (Also, she's moving away to college at the end of this weekend so hopefully I'll be able to fix it by then)
Specs:
Gateway MT3422

AMD Athlon 64 X2 TK-53 [don't ask my why there's a 64-bit proc but they only give a 32-bit OS... bastards]
NVIDIA GeForce Go 6100
Network Adapter: Realtek 8185 Extensible 802.11b/g
