What does the wireless connection mean when the thing is "unplugged"?
464452
A wireless connection typically refers to a Wi-Fi connection (based on the 802.11 standard), which can be used to connect to a wireless router. Since wireless routers are often connected to a cable or DSL modem, a Wi-Fi connection can allow computers to access the Internet.\n\nAnother type of wireless connection is Bluetooth, which has a shorter range than Wi-Fi. Bluetooth is used to connect wirelessly to PDAs, cell phones, printers, wireless keyboards and mice, and other peripheral devices that support Bluetooth. It is not used to connect to a wireless network like Wi-Fi is.\n\nAn integrated wireless connection means the hardware for connecting wirelessly is built into the computer. A computer that comes with a Wi-Fi card or Bluetooth adapter built in has an integrated wireless connection. While wireless connections are more likely to be integrated into portable computers, they can be installed in desktop computers as well. If Wi-Fi or Bluetooth components are not built-in to a computer, it is often still possible to add them. A Wi-Fi card can be placed in a laptop's PCMCIA slot, while a Bluetooth adapter plugs into a USB port. These components allow the same wireless capabilities as having an integrated wireless connection.

Unplug it for a good 5 minutes so it can reset itself to the factory settings.\n\nOtherwise, it sounds like a safety feature.  Perhaps a fuse is out, or a connection has cracked.  No manual, huh?

your answer: c) disconnected\n\nReconnected means you were connected again to resume the conversation.\n\nUnconnected means you were never connected in the first place.\n\n(footnote: correct spelling is manager)

Look for an antenna sticking out of the back of it.  That's usually a suspect sign of a wireless card...\n\n...but if you want the long way, go to:\n\nStart -> Control Panel -> System -> Hardware Tab -> Device Manager button\n\nand look for anything that says "wireless".

Since the wireless ethernet question is the only one that belongs here:\n\nWireless ethernet is simply a method of connecting to an ethernet network using radio frequency transmitters and receivers, rather than a hard-wired connection.  It is analagous to a wireless telephone vs. one that's hard-wired to a wall outlet.

Usually that means that there is something up with the cable modem.\n\nThe first thing is to make sure you cycle the power on the modem every time you switch (between being connected directly to the router, computer 1 or 2). Every time the MAC address changes (for example if you change it from Cable Modem to Router TO Cable Modem to Computer 1) then you need to cycle the power. If you are just unplugging devices behind the router this usually isn't necessary.\n\nNow, any time you reboot the modem wait a minute and reboot the router.\n\nOtherwise, check the lights:\nPower: Should be steady. Blinking usually indicates a hardware failure or that standby is on.\nSend and/or Recieve Light(s): Should be blinking rapidly when plugged in to a device. Slowly or solidly can indicate a problem with your network cable or modem.\nCable: Should be solid. Blinking slowly or off indicates a problem with your cable connection (usually physically) or modem.\nPC/Activity: Should be blinking fast or solid. Blinking slowly or off indicates a problem with the modem, the cable between the two or the device plugged in.\nStandby (if applicable): Should be off. On or blinking indicates that it is in standby mode. Some modems remember this even when power is cycled.\n\nIf all the lights blink in sequence, stay on or stay off the modem is usually shot.\n\nHope this helps!\n\nEDIT: From the manual:\n\n"Light -Turns Off During Startup- If Turns Off During Normal Operation If\nReceive- The receive channel cannot be acquired - The receive channel is lost\nSend - The send channel cannot be acquired - The send channel is lost\nOnline - IP registration is unsuccessful  - The IP registration is lost\nPower - The cable modem is not properly plugged into\nthe power outlet\n -The cable modem is unplugged or is in standby\nmode. Press the Standby button"\n\nAlso:\n"f the solutions listed here do not solve your problem, contact your cable service provider. Before calling your service provider, try one of:\n• Unplugging and plugging in the cable modem power cord to restart the cable modem\n• Pressing the reset button on the rear panel\nRestarting or resetting the cable modem may take 5 to 30 minutes. Your service provider may ask for the status of the front-panel lights as\ndescribed in “Front-Panel Lights and Error Conditions” on page 44.\n\nProblem Possible Solutions\nGreen POWER light is off - Check that the power cord is properly plugged into the electrical outlet and the cable modem.\nCheck that the electrical outlet is working.\n-If the Standby light is on, the Internet connection is off. Press the Standby button to reconnect to the Internet."

It means you have someone at a minimum using your wireless connection.  At the worst they are using your wireless to hack other sites and/or steal information about you for identity theft.\n\nWhat you need to do is secure your wireless network.  Take the following steps:\n1. Change the SSID of your wireless access point from the default.\n2. Change the default administrator password for your wireless device\n3. Enable the highest level encryption supported by your device.\n4. Enable MAC filtering from your wireless device

Sounds like you are talking about the USB port and USB devices. Windows comes with a USB connection detection software that notifies the user when a device is plugged into, or unplugged from, a USB port.  That is so that people will know when a device is working and when it is not.

I think what you are trying to say is that if your wireless connection to your access point (AP) becomes disconnected and then you try to reconnect, the workstation does not pick up a new IP address.\n\nIf that is the case, then you should repair your connection.  In Windows XP Service Pack 2, all you have to do is right-click on the wireless connection in the system tray (by the clock) and click "Repair".  It will force Windows to acquire an IP address.

Depends on your computer, and it depends on the software installed.  Typically, you can look in your network connections and disable the "network connection" that corresponds to the your Bluetooth controller card.\n\nFor non techies:\n\n1) Go to Start > Settings > Network Connections\n2) Scroll to the right until you can read the "Device Name" column\n3) Right click on the item with "...bluetooth..." somewhere in it and select "disable"...\n\nIf your item does not support network control... look for an icon in the lower right corner of your screen, next to the time that looks like a blue on white, or white on blue "squiggly."  Right click on it and find the option for "disable" or "power down".
