    I'm typing this from my EEE, as a multitude of problems hit my laptop at once. First was that System Restore decided to disappear; next, Control Panel decided to stop working. Wireless also went out. Finally, Windows decided it wasn't genuine anymore, so I ended up reformatting.

    Everything else is fine, but now, I can't get internet. At this point I'm not sure what I should do...

    I used to be able to download the drivers on Windows Update, but w/o Internet, etc.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks!

    Much love for that. My wifi is now working fine, but is there anyway to fix the wired connection as well? :)

    Just get the LAN driver from the gateway support website.

    Can't post the link, but just change the x's to t's.
