!Nekko! Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 After I start up my laptop, it will connect to the router (show the wireless symbol in the taskbar), but periodically I won't have an internet connection. If I turn my firewall off, my internet will work. Same thing happens, though, when my firewall is off already. I start my firewall, and I can connect to the internet. The router is a Dlink WBR-1310 Wireless G Router. http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=474 and using Windows XP on a HP Pavillion ze4900 and fairly sure all drivers and such are up to date.

Pyrion Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Possible that you're just intermittently losing signal to the router? I know that wzcsvc periodically suspends the active connection to scan for new access points, so that might be a contributing factor. Load a command prompt (or a run prompt) and type "net stop wzcsvc", if it's that service, then you shouldn't lose your signal (under normal circumstances), but if you do lose the signal you'll have to restart wzcsvc ("net start wzcsvc") for it to reconnect. Otherwise I have no idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
