Here are 2 problems I'm having that others are having as well. I hope
someone here can help me solve them, since the answers will help end
the
frustration of lots of folks.
1. When I put my laptop in STANDBY mode overnight, in the morning, it
will not connect via my wireless router unless I first dial-up my ISP.
This does NOT happen if the laptop is in standby mode for a short
period
of time.
2. If I do a re-start, I'm almost always able to connect wirelessly
without first dialing up using the modem.
3. Sometimes I lose the connection with the router, even though the
signal strength shown on the machine is always maximum.
DETAILS:
1. This happens with 2 separate ISPs and 2 different routers. That
suggests that the problem is not the router or the ISP, but my laptop.
2. Hardware/Software details:
I'm using a Dell Dimension D600, running XP Home, V2002, SP1. I'm
using
a US Robotics PCMCIA card. When I tried to install SP2 some years ago
I ran into a conflict of some sort and abandoned the effort.
There must be something that triggers the dropping of the wireless
connection. Anyone have any ideas?
And why is it that dialing up my ISP via my modem, and then hanging up,
restores the connection?
