Sony VAIO & Vista wireless connection problems
Hi there,
I use a 3Com 3CWRDR100A-72 router that has worked faultlessly with many devices in my house; W2K laptop XP Tablet PC x 2 iPAQ 2210 & Socket CF Wi-Fi card iPAQ 4700 XBOX 360 PS3 Nevo SL Momento Digital picture frame x 2 20+ visiting laptops etc. etc. You get the idea ;^) I use MAC Address filtering for security. However I have a brand new Sony VGN-FZ21Z that will not connect wirelessly to it...well sometimes it has but most of the time it doesn't, I have the router set to broadcast SSID and the FZ21Z sees it OK. With no encryption the FZ21Z will not automatically connect after coming out of standby or being shut down. Using WPA it has managed to connect probably 2 times out of 20 but mostly it fails - the log reporting a timeout error. I have a Sony VAIO VGN-N38Z sat next to it that is fine even when the SSID is not broadcasting. This is driving me crazy...to help my sanity and my hair can some kind soul offer some help/advice/tips please? -- Thanks & regards, -pp- |
