    hey guys
    for some reason the internet/network icon by the time on the bottom right hand corner seems to be acting different..
    whenever i hover over it, instead of displaying that i am connected to a local internet it displays:
    "Connection status: unknown
    Server execution failed"
    and whenever i go to my network, the window hangs and shows the same thing the icon shows when i hover it!!
    and now when i try to connect to a wireless connection, it gives me problems
    what gives? it was working just like last week
    can anyone give me some advice?
    thanks

    Try rolling back the driver since the PCMCI is showing a problem. Then see the School IT dept. They may have a block on your MAC address for some reason.
