I just finished a 3hr phone call to MS Tech Support
regarding the drop in connection every 3 minutes for 20
seconds.
We tried everything possible by their books and finnaly we
went on to check ipconfig in DOS to find that I had 2
ethernet adapters. The tech told to go to my computer-
properties-device manager and disable all other network
adapters only leaving the microsoft wireless adapter
enabled. Then he went on to control panel-network-
configuration to check the TCP/IP and removed TCP/IP->Dial-
up Adapter #2 (VPN Support), which in my case I didn't
recognize it (probably a result of numerous attempts to
fix the problem).
Once we removed that, we went back to DOS, released all ip
addresses than renewed all. Then typed ipconfig again and
there was only one ethernet adapter instead of two... And
than my problem was solved!!!!!!
I'm not a computer wiz and I'm not sure how the problem
was fixed but in my opinion the other ethernet adapter (in
my case was called VPN Support)was conflicting with the
wireless adapter on my laptop.
I hope this helps all you and before giving up try calling
the support number the comes on the manual. Good luck.
By the way, I'm running Windows 98 SE.
