Another day
It was definitely nice to see that when I turned my computer back on that the internet was working. Yeah, brief synopsis for those who don't know my situation...don't download Windows XP Service Pack 2! I have a feeling it messed with my computer somehow and my internet connection got tangled in that mess. Luckily, I was able to set up my computer in the living room area and get LAN connected once I did some adjustments with the network within the house. But yeah, the reason why my wireless connection isn't working?? I have no idea..and the research people at Windows XP SP2 are investigating. Feels like I'm a special case.
