I just got a laptop with Windows XP installed. I have
been successfully using my Linksys 4-port router with
wireless access port but my three machines all run Windows
2000.
Here's the problem: I added the new laptop to connect
wirelessly. It connects just fine with the encryption
set. However, it only remains connected for a couple of
minutes at most. The laptop loses connectivity (cannot
even ping the default gateway on the router) to the
internet and often it causes the connection to drop for
the rest of the machines connected to the router as
well. The only way to fix the connectivity issue is to
turn the laptop off, re-start the router and continue
using only my Windows 2000 machines. If I bring up the
laptop with XP again, same thing occurs.
I know someone must have run into this using XP and a
Linksys router. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks.
