Hey,

I have a Compaq Presario 2100 laptop riunning XP Home. I am having
the same problem except with my local area connection that is
connected by an ethernet cable to a hub going into the internet.

I have a wireless card and it works fine. Everytime I turn on my
computer or unplug the cord I have to enable then disable the
connection. Repair is not an option because the connection shows up
in the system tray as disconnected, it doesn't even recognize that its
plugged in.

Another problem with this is that once connected, the network will
only run at 10Mbps. I checked my hardware specs and my network card
is capable of running a 100Mbps connection, and my hub runs at
100Mbps.

Any help will be appreciated. Please email me if you know a remedy
for the problem.

Thanks,
Craig

Greetings!

I have a Toshiba M200 TabletPC (WinXP) which came with an 802.11g
wireless card. I connect to a D-Link DI-624 router. If I go to Standby
or Hibernate then resume, I have no wireless network access at all.

To get it to work again, I must disable then re-enable the 'Wireless
Network Connection' via steps below:
1) Go to "View Network Connections" from "My Network Places" or by
right-clicking the wireless network icon in the system tray.
2) Right-click "Wireless Network Connection" and choose "Disable"
3) Wait for it to display the new disabled status (for me, 5-10
seconds).
4) Right-click "Wireless Network Connection" again and choose "Enable"

Is this a problem with settings somewhere in the network
configuration? Does everyone get the same behavior after resuming from
standby or hibernate? For me, it happens every time.

If you don't know the solution, but have an easier way to disable then
re-enable, please do tell.
