HI everyone,
Got a new laptop (VISTA) and already have a wireless router (netgear) in the
house. We connected the laptop wirelessly with no problems yesterday and
this morning. Then, out of the blue, I get a "limited connectivity" message
even though the signal strength is excellent. Any ideas?
Our wireless network is the only one that's listed "connect automatically"
and we were connected to it yesterday and this morning with no problems.
Help! |

UPDATE: I turned my wireless router off and on again and now it works fine.
Any ideas how to get this to stop happening?

Therefore, shouldn't Microsoft publish a patch through their Windows Update
tool for a known bug anytime soon?
My integrated network card does the same thing as the original poster
(network detected but not working--local only). I'm running the most up to
date drivers and BIOS. The only way to solve this is to reboot the
computer--rebooting the network card by using the Diagnose tool doesn't
always solve this issue. |

I know the feeling. I get that with my Linksys WRT54G2 sometimes. Only
difference is THE DESKTOP (Which is running Windows XP Home) tends to
lose connection as well.
Nevertheless, it's most frustrating.....

Hello,
I actually (knock on wood) believe I fixed my issue with that, I went
through 3 routers by D-Link. The first 2 I had D-Link walk me through
the set up, the 3rd router I did myself with no issues what so ever.
Funny thing is I installed it according to the manual... I would read
the manual on-line and see how it should be installed. It is installed
so the pc "sees" it as an access point right?
What net-gear router are you running? Model number? I'll see if I can
find the right documents to help you set t up :)
