Very Frustrated with wireless network

Liquidman · Post by **Liquidman** » October 24th, 2004, 7:38 pm

This is really starting to get to me. I bought a D-Link DI-624 router and the matching DWL-G520 PCI Adapter. I have the router up and running, and the computer with the DWL-G520 in it can recognize the signal. here's where it gets stupid. At first, I could connect to the network, but then I couldn't access the internet. Then I couldn't connect at all, then I could connect again etc. and it went on like that every time I tried to tweak it to get everything to work. Just now I took the card out of the second computer, uninstalled the drivers, reinstalled the drivers and put the card back in. After a couple of minutes I had the connection up and I managed to get to google. Then, the internet stopped working, but my signal strength was still reading excellent and I was connected. I restarted the computer, and now I can't even connect to the network, even though I can still see it. My ISP says I should be able to use the Dynamic IP settings, but they don't work. I've tried the static settings too, which give me basically the same results. I am completely lost here, please help me!

I really have no idea how to fix it, but an idea popped into my head, why don't you reinstall or update the hardware drivers, hope it works.

I know what you mean mate, Ive had wireless network running for about 4/5months now, and ive ran into about 10 problems, most of which lasted weeks at a time,

I think i know the solution to your problem, only thing is.. I cannot remember the command for it, I had that same problem.. It said "limited or no connectivity" or something like that, i tryed absolutly everything, reinstalling windows(thats how much it anoyed me!!!) and it was still there, In the end, i read around the net for about 3hours, and i found a fix.. It was a command u do in Command Prompt.. Basically it resets your Networking settings... I typed the command in, and it was pretty much instant.. My wireless network connected right away.. It was a mazzive releif, knowing thats all i had to do to fix it...!

If i remember it i will post it...

Hope this helps you.

Oh and Hi .. my first post here! \o/
