Please log in for more thread options Thanks, Paul, though I'm sorry there's not a ready answer hidden in there.
Since my posting and before reading your reply, I did a "repair and update"
on the Intel wireless application in Add/Remove Programs.
I generally connect only to the internet through my work network, but I have
on board the software to allow connection to a secure database (Intergy)
that's on that network. (I last did that the day it was installed, about 11
months ago.) I'll try restarting without that capability (if I can figure
out a reversible way to do that), and see if that helps.
I found the "Enable enhanced network functionality" switch under Settings |
Connections | USB to PC.
I'll report whether any of this helps.
