Can't get wireless laptop to connect
Interesting tool. My router fails two of the tests, but it works fine.
Gary VanderMolen "Kim [MS]" wrote in message ... Thanks, Barb. Kristen, Gary, and others, We've just published a new tool to test your router. Feel free to give it a go and send us feedback: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/usi...d/default.mspx "Barb Bowman" wrote: there are a lot of older routers that work fine with Vista, although some may have firmware that needs updating. if the OP would post the model, hardware revision and firmware version in the router, more help would be forthcoming. there are some routers that may not have upgrades available. vendors aren't going to put their legacy gear through the logo program. I think that if Kristen finds that the existing router doesn't cut the mustard, and needs to find a new one, that the advice to get one that has the logo is a good option. it may cost more than some of the firesale prices on old routers, but for someone without experience, it is definitely the way to go. Examples: I have a non logo'd D-Link DGL-4300 router which performs superbly under Vista. D-Link isn't going to put it through the logo program. I also have their newer DIR655 router which IS logo'd.

Which tests does it fail? The text description explains the effect of the
tests that fail. It is possible for a router to fail all of the tests except the 1st one, and will work "fine" - depending on what fine is. Each of the tests translates to an experience, and with failling tests, then your experiences in those scenario's will either be degraded or will not work. K. Just out of curiosity, what kind of a router are you running? "Gary VanderMolen" wrote in message ... Interesting tool. My router fails two of the tests, but it works fine.

Can't get wireless laptop to connect
My router is a bit obscure. It's a Link-Max LM-341.
It fails the NAT Type (symmetric NAT), and the UPnP Support Test. The other tests pass. Gary VanderMolen "Karl Froelich [MS]" wrote in message ... Which tests does it fail?

Can't get wireless laptop to connect
Ok guys, the smart man is here. Lol well thats what i reackon once i fixed my
problems with wireless network with vista and xp. Here is my solution that i posted on my post: Woooooooo! i got it working. Found a fix! i read some where on here that xp has a short delay in sending initial information through the wireless for the network. However, Vista does not have that delay as it is "improved." Therefore, my network hub and vista were incompatible until i got the latest firmware update. This was because the hub would not receive information as it was using the xp timing and vista saw it as non-responsive. After i updated the router firmware, everything worked sweet. However, in writing this i admit i might be completely wrong about the timing thing and it was shear luck. hopefully this helps some one, it took me 5 hours and a small miracle to figure it out. Hope this helps Mick Brisbane, Australia "Gary VanderMolen" wrote: My router is a bit obscure. It's a Link-Max LM-341. It fails the NAT Type (symmetric NAT), and the UPnP Support Test.

Can't get wireless laptop to connect
Hi
Your setting of the Wireless Connection in the Laptop does not match the credentials that are needed to log on. If the credential are different at home and work you probably need to use a Mobile Switching program. http://www.ezlan.net/faq.html#fewtcp-ip Jack (MS, MVP-Networking) "Uys Scholtz" wrote in message ...
