Re: A netcard driver failed the query for OID_GEN_LINK_SPEED How do you fix? UPDATE

I don't know if this is related, but my wife just turned on the TV in the
next room and I dropped my wireless signal and computer froze [ XP not my
mac]. My Cable modem is same cable as cable TV, although the wall port is in
a different location. My TV interferes with wireless signal, and computer
freezes?
A friend replies:

internet connection is over same cable

so software and not hardware?

Any thoughts?
