Limited Connectivity....Again.

When I connect to my home wireless, I connect with all five bars, but it
gives me "Connected with Limited Access."  I downloaded the hotfix, but when
I try to run it, it tells me "An error occured while unzipping.  One or more
files were not succesfully unzipped.  The error code is 40."
See, I have no idea what error code 40 is....So are there any other fixes
for this problem?

Hi
Which Hot Fix?
Limited connectivity usually stems from configuration problem, you gave to
describe your Wireless hardware and configuration,

I managed to get it installed (Stupid me, I forgot Vista doesn't let you do
things easily with your C drive), but it didn't do anything.

I'm on a laptop, Inspiron E1505 with the standard card, and the router I'm
attempting to connect to is an Actiontech.  I'm not sure about configuration,
I'm not to good with computers.
It was working perfectly fine about a week ago, then it just died.  The only
thing that changed was I tried to connect to a friend's wireless, Actiontech
as well.  That's when the issues began.  I have my WEP right, but it treats
it as if I don't.

Hi
Their are concoction that can do something like this. However No matter what
there would be vulnerabilities and management issues.
In a world that 1GB of Hard disk drive space goes for 25cents, it seems more
of a Psychological issue for people who can Not stand few unused GB of Disk
Space rather than a viable technological solution.
Given the current prices of Network Storage (NAS) it does not really pay to
go this route.
