I connect wirelessly at work (I work at the library) Everything was just fine yesterday. I was online finding out how to fix my control panel (turned out I had a corrupted .cpl file) Then I was in my system32 folder double clicking all my .com files (because some don't seem to want to open.) all of a sudden the next day I try to connect at work and my wireless light (that lets me know its searching) stays on but the little monitor icons on the bottom right have this red X.

heres info from ipconfig /all

I'm not sure what other information is needed.

I don't understand why this information says media disconnected if everything worked just fine before.

Hello Absorb,
I'm not sure if you're still looking for help, but anyway:
In your case, the Media Disconnected message is most likely due to corrupted/missing Windows files. The fact that you were tampering with key windows components suggests that you might have accidently deleted/changed an important file.

Please goto Start, Run, type CMD and press 'OK' - now type: sfc /scannow (Note: You will need your Windows CD handy to repair any missing / damaged files).

If you need further help, let me know.
