Connection dropped routinely
I am running a Dell Inspiron 8200 With Win. XP SP3. I upgraded to a Netgear
DGN 2000 Router / Modem and also installed an Intel PRO/Wireless 2200 BG Network Controller. My ethernet connection is a 3Com 3C920 Integrated Fast Ethernet Controller. It doesn't matter whether I connect by cable or wireless, after I am connected, the connection is dropped every 20 sec. for a period of a sec. or two. I get the bubble "limited or no connectivity" followed by "acquiring network address". It then connects again for another 20 sec. I have upgraded the firmware on the router but can't update drivers for the Intel card because connection is constantly dropped. I have turned off firewall settings for Norton Internet Security but it doesn't matter. I suspect setting issues. |

Hi
If you disable the Wireless card and use only the cable connection, does it happen too? If yes, then the Wireless card's drivers has nothing to to with this. Check the IP leasing period in the Router. Jack (MS, MVP-Networking) "Mickey" wrote in message ... I am running a Dell Inspiron 8200 With Win. XP SP3.

That is correct. If I disable one and use the other, I still have the same
problem. Should I completely uninstall the software for the previous 2Wire router? "Jack-MVP" wrote: Hi If you disable the Wireless card and use only the cable connection, does it happen too?

These are never usually required as router should also assign IP addresses to any network adapters that request one. The "bundled" software will assist in "new" inexperienced users in setting up networks but they also added more problems. I would then look at the router itself as the connection dropping would possibly be caused by the router itself. |

Hi
You can try to Uninstall the software but I doubt that it would help. The Routers' software is usually not an active software, it is just a wizard thingy to help installing the Router when a person wish to stay ignorant about its working. Best way is to spend 30 Min. reading the manual and configuring the Router manually. Also check Netgear support site and see if there is any mentioning of SP3 troubles. Jack (MS, MVP-Networking).

My response to meeting this kind of problem onsite would be:
3. Check the LAN cards for powersave problems. Howto: http://mylogon.net/support/psave 2. Remove NIS. 3. Get the NIS cleaner-tool for symantec.com to make sure it's thoroughly purged. 4. If problem has been cured, install any antivirus OTHER than Norton Or McAfee. There are the two known for trouble. Note also that I recommend antivirus products, NOT 'Internet Security' packages, which are almost always a pile of gimmick-and-gadget-infested junk.
