SP2-Linksys=headache
My system: Win XP HE with SP2, ethernet connection to Linksys
router Second computer same OS with SP2, Linksys wireless adapter Comcast cable connection No previous troubles with internet connections on both computers until SP2. Main machine on ethernet cable is OK. Have not been able to configure the wireless adapter on the second machine. Stopping WinZeroConfig doesn't help as the Wlan monitor does not appear on the screen to allowentering security codes with the Linksys software. Adapter doesn't recognize the presence of a network from the router signal. Have tried most of the "fixes" from the michna.com page with no avail. Linksys hasn't announced any workarounds that work to my knowledge. Would like to hear if anyone with a similar setup has succeeded. |

If you use that Network Troubleshooter page, which may be your best bet, and it didn't produce the solution, please copy the selections line just under the form (above the three buttons) and post it here. I'm always happy to find anything that is not yet solved by that web page, but I find such things only quite rarely. Hence my interest. Hans-Georg -- No mail, please. |

Open TCP/IP properties, advanced properties, options tab, TCP/IP filtering properties, change the three instances of Permit Only to Permit All. Leave filtering enabled. Q |

Any idea where I might find this "Linksys Connect" program?

Had to use a dial-up on the machine with the adapter which was painful. However the program found evidence of two installs and corrected this online. The final advice was to try a different network channel which did the trick.The down side of the connectivity problem was the time loss, but as alwaystroubleshooting has increased my networking knowledge. Sheldon, thanks for reporting back. Good hardware should, of course, work on any channel, save a few exceptional situations. Hans-Georg -- No mail, please. |
