Loss of internet connection with wireless router
I have the following problem:
1. While on-line I drop the connection to the internet but have a local connection to get to the printers and drives. 2. I am unable to repair the connection. 3. When I re-start the computer to get my connection re-established the system will not shut down. 4. I have to shutdown the hard way by holding down the power button. 5. When I restart the system gives me the option of launching in safe mode. I have tried to identilfy the problem with no success. I have Windows 1 Care and Spybot which I have run. I also have PC Pitstop and have run scans with it. Invariably the problem re-appears!! Does anyone have any ideas. Thanks |

That wouldn't resolve the problem after your comment in 1. above. 3. When I re-start the computer to get my connection re-established the system will not shut down. 4.

This used to be a much bigger problem with older versions of windows but thankfully isn't that common with xp. Hardware and software conflicts are really hard to diagnose particularly from short usenet posts. Can you remember what you did just before the problem started? New hardware or software installation? Have you tried anything like that? Jim. |

I also have PC Pitstop and have run scans with it. I am assuming that your "local connection to printers and drives" are USB connections. Do you have this problem in Safe Mode w/ networking? If not, it is probably caused by one of the lesser-essential programs that launch with a normal start. Try using "msconfig" to narrow down which program or service is affecting this problem.

What your Internet source is, and how the Network is configured?
