First let me say, I know totally nothing about wireless networking. Anyway, I
just did some home networking and i need help. I have an XP desktop and recently bought a laptop(VISTA) about a month ago. My XP has the internet and i recently bought a Linksys wireless router. Like i said earlier, i am very new to networking so i had linksys walk me through the entire network process. This worked perfectly for about a week and then I now sometimes loose internet connection on both the XP and the laptop. Anytime this happens I have to call my ISP and they just tell me to turn off and turn the desktop back on. Can I please know what causes the sudden loss of the intternet connection on my desktop (it has the modem and the router). Thanks in advance. -- Peace |

1 You might have to update the Firmware for vista compatibility in your router.
Check at the router's manufacturer's website. 2. Update Network Adaptor Drivers in laptop 3. In network connectionproperties unbind TCP/IPv6(untick it) -- Mick Murphy - Qld - Australia "Shallaque" wrote: First let me say, I know totally nothing about wireless networking.
