Your limited connectivity will probably be due to the fact that your pc isn't picking 
up the IP address when it starts up.

You need to set up a static IP address, to do this follow these instructions:

How to Set up a Static IP for Windows:

Setting up a static IP is usually a simple process - here are the steps you should 
follow:

Click on the Start Button and then choose Run. The Run window should open. 

Type cmd in the Run box and click OK. A new black window should open up with a prompt. 

At the prompt, type ipconfig/all and click Enter. You should now see lots of information 
related to your IP. Some of this information you will need later - either print the 
screen or copy down the info for the following fields; IP address, Default Gateway, 
Subnet Mask and Name Servers (Name Servers are also called DNS Servers). Once all 
the information has been copied or printed, exit this window. 

Click Start and then Control Panel, then select Network Connections. Once the Network 
Connections window opens, you should see your network connection labeled. Many networks 
and computers have more than one network connection. Choose the network connection 
that you use to connect to the internet. Once this network connection is selected, 
right click and choose properties. 
Hint: If you are having difficulties finding the network connection that is used 
to connect to the internet, one way to make your search easier is to disable one 
connection at a time and then test using your browser if your internet still works. 
If your internet no longer works, then the network connection you disabled is the 
one that you use to connect to the internet.


In the Properties window, select the General tab and then click on Internet Protocol 
(TCP/IP). Once this is selected click on the Properties button. 





On this screen, choose the following radio button: Use the Following IP Address and 
then you will fill in the following information regarding:
IP Address
Subnet Mask
Default Gateway
There will also be two radio buttons. Choose the radio Button: Use the Following 
DNS Server Address. There are two more fields to fill in, they are:

Preferred DNS Server
Alternate DNS Address
Once this information has been added, click OK. A static IP address has been set 
for Windows.



Applying a manual IP address will probably solve it, because it won't have to get 
it every time you start up the PC.

To solve the problem with Nokia PC Suite try this method:

You can remove PC Suite from the start up in the registry:

- select "Start" .. "Run"
- enter "regedit" - this starts the Registry Editor
- in the left panel of the Registry Editor, navigate to 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SOFTWARE
Microsoft
Windows
Current Version
Run

- in the right panel, delete all the entries relating to PC Suite
