Problem solved. my friend needs help with net gear/ wire less internet.

[sboles]

Well, my friend's computer stopped getting internet. He reset, and he got some error about like checking a disc which fixed itself. So, he thought that if he un installed net gear, and he un, then re plugged his USB connecter thingy i'd just download it again.
This was not the case.
If you'd like to contact him:

Sorry, bud, but your story doesn't make much sense. Please have your friend:

1. Register here and describe his issue in details;
2. If bullet above doesn't work since he has no Internet - have him hard reset his Netgear router by pressing on a smally-small black button on the back panel of his router (Called "Reset button" on the picture below").

That will reset his router to default allowing it to talk to the modem.

That sounds like a hard drive problem, which would explain why his OS isn't working properly.

Okay, ill be sure to tell him that. Thanks

He hooked up an ethernet cabe and now he gets internet, for everything except steam. Help him?

I think the best idea so far is just to get a new computer

Sometimes steam would say to me its not connected, i would just press ok then click on steam again, it should start loading. That works for me

he's tried tha- FACE MELTING F2Per? I am NOT F2P

Anyway
Hes tried that. I think we're way past that stage

Has he or you posted about the issue on the router and/or steam forums? While some of us know more about computers and routers and what not than others, the best bet will probably be to get a legit customer service guy to take care of it. I'm not home at the moment but when I get in if it hasn't been resolved, I'll see about doing some research and helping you.

I had this problem before with my adapter getting fried from frequent power outages. It also kept corrupted the memory for my router for login details for my DSL. Was very frustrating and time consuming, luckily I was able to return the router for a new one. Glad your friend had his problem resolved, it's always the simple issues that are the final solutions.
