Microsoft Wireless-G (MN-730) PCI and Server2003

Greetings,

I installed a wireless PCI NIC in my Windows Server 2003 machine ('cause I
wanted to relocate it for a month or so). Everything took well, e.g. drivers
and all, but the thing won't work.

I'm connecting to a known good Linksys BEFW11S4 WAP (that works just fine
with several other wireless cards). When I initially boot the server it
seems to connect; icons green up and IP Addresses are displayed. After about
30 seconds the icons turn red, the IP Address vanishes, and the status
changes to "not connected".

I researched the Microsoft site and the only thing I could find was a
reference to D-Link WAPs that discussed the importance of changing the
preamble to "long". Mine is set to long.

Other than that, no clue as to why it won't work.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
John

Hi JR,



Actually I've experienced a similar issue on my laptop. First when I
installed all my equipment, it worked just fine. But since I reinstalled the
laptop, I get the same result as you do. First everything seems to be fine,
I'm able to access Internet, ping other computers on network etc, but after
like 30-40 sec, I'm being disconnected. I've tried it on both Windows XP
Professional English version, and Windows 2000 Advanced Server (trial
version). I've also verified that it's not any hardware problems on my
equipment.



My equipment is a D-Link router - DI624 (54 Mbps), and PCMCIA cards D-Link
DWL-G650. I have another computer running on Windows 2000 Professional
Swedish version and that works just fine.



I haven't been able to find any information regarding this at either
Microsoft or D-Link. I haven't requested any assistance yet from D-Link or
Microsoft about this problem.



Have you updated all firmware on your hardware, BIOS and downloaded the
latest drivers? I have, but that didn't resolve the problem anyway...



Anyone else recognize this kind of behavior?

Mattias,

Not sure if this applies to your case, but I did find an article
specifically discussing the D-Link WAP.

"Cannot connect to DLink wireless access point by using your Microsoft
Broadband Networking wireless adapter"
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;831743

Hope it helps.
J.R.
