I have a windows xp system with a dell wireless WLAN card. I have found that when I try to connect to certain wireless networks - most recently the BBox network through Bouygues Telecom in France - it will connect, work fine for a minute or two, and then disconnect automatically. I can reconnect by going into the WLAN Card Utility and re-entering the WEP password, but I don't know why it cuts off automatically. I also noticed the same thing happening while trying to connect to a friend's wireless in London, England (not sure what the provider was). Other computers don't seem to have the same problem.
My internet keeps cutting out and it has lights on the it that shows when it cuts out and when its on. I have also just enabled wireless last week because I have just gotten a laptop and before that my computer was connected to the router directly with an Ethernet cable and the internet never cut out then but now ever since ive turned wireless on it keeps cutting out.
I am running Windows XP, and have a wireless router. I don't have problems with other computers or the internet television.

am running a sony vaio VGN_B1XP using windows xp proffesional. My problem is every time I switch my wireless lan switch on my computer trips off it flashes a blue page of writing that I do not have time to read. It then reboots itself.
I'm using a Sierra wireless 4g aircard for internet access, the ISP is Clearwire. Normally it works fine with no problems, but a few days ago I started getting a connectivity issue. When playing games, even games that don't use the internet connection at all, and ONLY playing games (it's fine as I type this, I'm even dling something in the background), the connection will be lost, and the thing will immediately reaquire the signal and reconnect, the whole process takes like 20 seconds. The result is it's impossible to play games, I get 10k ms lag spikes every couple minutes that last for about 30 seconds, and if I'm playing most server based games (Steam Source games) I just get disconnected outright.
Ever since i put my PC down in my room my WiFi keeps getting disconnected. I still have 4-5 bars but no internet. Its a Wintec FileMate PCI. Its getting very frustrating! My router is a NetGear WNDR3400v2. When i use network troubleshoot it says that it fixed "no default gateway" but then it goes back out again. It goes out every 30-45 minutes for like 3-7 minutes. I set sleep-mode off. I really don't know what to do. My Ipod touch gets 2 bars and never goes out.
For a wile now our internet keeps cutting out usually lasting 1-2 seconds we don't get any internet.We have ADSL2+ with Internode.I have done speedtests/pingtests etc. and they are not very useful.
Currently I have 3 computers in my house (My PC, Sister's PC and my Mums Laptop). My Mums and Sisters Computers work fine but RECENTLY (last couple of days) my computer when using the internet has become troublesome. Whenever I load multiple web-browser pages at once or try to connect to any online game server, my internet "laggs out" and refuses to load pages and even if it does they load INCREDIBLY slow. The only way to get back into any server is to reboot my modem and let my pc reconnect to it then connect to the server, even then it still has difficulty connecting and is delayed. My ping also spikes up when I am using skype and watching youtube video's. I have done a virus scan. I know its not my wireless adapter as I used my sisters one, I have tried using an ethernet cable and still the same result. I even tried our old adsl modem and still nothing. I'm getting really frustrated and have been unable to even load facebook in the last couple of days (I need facebook! I can post more information if needed, I am computer literate so I should easily understand anything anyone comes up with.
My internet connection has been dropping constantly since the beginning of this year. I cut out for ~10 seconds then regain connection. This gets annoying especially when I'm gaming (Left 4 Dead 2, Counter-Strike, etc.). The modem lights stay on as well as my router lights. I have already called in three of my ISP's (Time Warner Cable) technicians all of whom think they have fixed the problem but haven't. I have changed my modem, router, ethernet cords; one of the technicians also changed the head of the cable wire outside at the cable box. I have also tried connecting the modem directly to my PC, but the same problem still occurs. I don't believe it's a problem with my PC because it's relatively new (~1 year) and all the other computers in the house cuts out as well.
Whenever I am browsing the web, or listening to an internet radio, or even gaming, after about 30 minutes my internet will cut out. The weird thing though, is that it will come back when I close the game/browser. It seems that whatever tab or application I have running the longest nullifies my internet connection after awhile and will not turn back on until I close out of that specific application.
My network on my desktop keep cutting on and off, starting 2 days ago. It's on for few secs or couple minutes, off or couple secs, then back on. I pinged my router IP "-t", I found that it will be normal for anywhere between 15 - 2 mins then cut off once("Request timed out"), then back on again. I tried to switch port on the router, it didn't work, I tried to reinstall the driver for the network apter, it didn't work. I also tried 2 different anti-virus software, including "Macfee", "Norton 360". None of them told me any virus or Trojans were detected. Now, I'm confused, I don't know how did this happened. I do think it's the internet problem, because all my other devices connecting to the same LAN works fine including wireless and LAN devices. Everything else seems fine and works.By the way, It worked today in the afternoon for about 5 hours without getting cut off, then started a gain in the evening.
A couple weeks ago every device on my wireless network started disconnecting from the internet in unison and seemingly at random and then reconnecting. The time between these disconnects varied anywhere between almost immediately after regaining a connection and three to four hours later. As things stand I have a SpeedStream 5200 modem running into a D-Link DIR-655 wireless router. I have had no problems with internet connectivity up until this point. During each disconnect, every device remains connected to the router. I've called Bell and they claim there is no issue with the modem. To test their theory, I bypassed the router altogether, and attempted to connect through an ethernet cable, but to no avail, as the now hardwired device continued to get disconnected. These failures seem to be occurring between noon and 10 p.m. and to be honest I'm amazed that one has not cut this post short.
Our internet connection has started disconnecting repeatedly at frequently random intervals. It would always disconnect once in a blue moon, but now its almost every minute or two.
This problem happens with EVERY electronic device in the house, (laptops, iphones, xbox) So I believe I've isolated the problem to our modem. Its a LSI-PCI-SV92PP soft modem. It has a row of green LEDs that light up for its connections. And yes, the cords are properly connected to it. The ethernet, wireless, and DSL lights are shining, but the internet light flickers, and eventually turns off for a minute or two before flickering. So its the internet connection itself thats malfunctioning. System restore had no effect either.
I have tried running the 'diaignose problems' via the windows things alot of times but nothing really works. ONCE it came out with the there may be a conflict of ip address' so i refreshed?/got a new ip address. This didnt seem to work. The modem is downstairs locked in a cupboard so i cant get to it, I badly need to internet so i can catch up on some work.
I have a Belkin Wireless N1 router and it works great with my laptops and desktop computers.But! Whenever I connect up my iPad 2, mobile phone (Nexus S) or any other mobile phone, Apple TV or PS3 - the internet works and then after about 10-15 minutes (maybe more, maybe less) the internet cuts out and I can't connect on any device. The PS3 works great when hooked up through ethernet, but wirelessly the connection doesn't last very long at all. Both my parents and brother have an android based smartphone and when at home they'd like to use our WiFi instead of their mobile data - and when it comes to online gaming on the PS3, I don't want to have to trail an ethernet cable all the way to my PS3 set-up. I have full signal strength throughout the house so range isn't an issue - I've also tried connection up whilst next to the router and the connection still cuts out. To resolve this I have to pull the power cable and re-boot the router.
I have cable broadband and the modem still indicates that I have a connection, and when the internet is cut from the modem the router shows a message saying that "No internet connection can be found". The screen still indicates that it still has an internet connection but it just isn't broadcasting it...I've altered the broadcast channels but this hasn't done anything. I can connect up to my friends Belkin ADSL Wireless router with no problems and it doesn't cut out. He has his PS3 connected wirelessly too and it's all good...
I recently built a new PC with an "ASUS PCE-N10" PCIE network adapter. I installed the drivers and everything was secure and nice and fast.
I moved the PC into another room this morning and everything was fine for most of the day. It's stopped working properly though now for some reason.
The connection is much slower and the speed keeps yo yoing and then cutting out. The signal is slightly lower due to positioning but it's still high enough. When it disconnects I use Windows troubleshooter to fix the problem and it says "Wireless Network Connection" doesn't have a valid IP configuration". It usually reconnects me then, but is still slower than it should be and it doesn't last for long.
I've tried connecting to a chosen IP but it just doesn't work. Other computers on the network are fine. Why now? What's happened?

I've recently moved into a new flat and got a new BT Home Hub with Unlimited use. Alas, I'm having problems with my laptop - an Acer Aspire 5920. I can connect to the internet with no problems, but the connection intermittently cuts out. It remains offline for about 10/15 seconds and then reconnects to my Home Hub automatically. This is particularly annoying when I'm trying to watch a video.My other flatmates have no issues like this, so I'm assuming that it's a laptop fault and nothing to do with the BT connection. I have uninstalled the Acer eNet software which comes installed on the laptop because I felt this may be clashing somehow with the Windows internet connecting program - unfortunately the problem persists.
My D-link DIR-825 keeps loosing the internet connection from my modem regularly during the day and requires a reboot to get it to work again. The computer I'm using is wired to the router. Its very frustrating having to reboot it every 5 minutes
basically a friend of mine gave me his old dell inspiron 1300 because my other laptop died.
It was running really slowly, and still is, so I cleaned the registry, defragmented, all sorts of things, I also started to download updated drivers for the system. Since I downloaded the broadcom update my wireless has been utterly useless, it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting by itself, its really annoying. I guessed it could be the laptop not liking the update so i uninstalled it, but it still has the same problem.
We have other laptops and devices connected to the wireless so it's not that. oh! by the way here are any laptop details you might need.

I have a Acer Aspire 5536 laptop, about 3 years old.Over the last year, the WiFi has kept dropping and so I have to physically switch the WiFi on and off, only then will it start working.When it "drops" the globe sign at the bottom of the screen (taskbar) goes and only the 2computers icon is flashing.
I have a Dell inspiron that is about 3 years old. About a month ago I wanted to connect to a wireless network, but there were none visible. I was in a coffee shop where I know there was a strong signal, but nothign showed up. I checked with a friend who was with me, and not only was he connected, he could see 5 other networks in the area - I showed none, even though when I put my mouse over the icon in the lower right of the try, I got a message that there were wireless networks available.Even at home, where it connected automatically, if I clicked on view wireless networks, ny own network that I was connected to wouldn't even show up.
My PC usually shows me a list of wireless connections when i click on that icon.Today, however, it is not showing the list and displays the following message instead:'windows cant configure this wireless connection.' no list, so i am not able to connect to my network.i tried setting up a wireless network through wizard but to no avail. I dont know why this is happening. i got a new wifi modem. i cant even blame the new connection alone, because before that my pc at least used to show other inaccessible wireless networks in the list. but today it shows nothing.i have a windows xp.
i cannot connect to the available network even the homegroup.i have do troubleshoot but it cannot fix.and tell that i have problem with my adapter network..
I've just installed windows xp pro sp 3 on my laptop and am going through installing the drivers for the problem devices. I've got everything installed minus the drivers for the sound card. I'm trying to connect to my wireless network and am not having much luck. I know the network is available because i'm on it right now sending this message. However with this new installation everytime i refresh i'm getting the "No wireless networks were found in range" message. I'm also not getting any yellow question marks in the device manager window for this device. I know the card works because it worked just fine with ubuntu before i wiped the hdd and installed xp ....
My friend uninstalled some programmes on his Toshiba laptop and now he can only connect to the router via an ethernet cable. When trying to find wireless networks the message "No wireless networks detected" appears. Other laptops and devices have no problems connecting throughout the house. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the right drivers for the wireless adapter, checked that the TCP/IP settings are on obtain ip address automatically, checked that the NIC is enabled in the BIOS and checked that the WLAN is on automatic in the services utilty and there is no other WZC running.
My current project is to have a printer that actually works. You don't need one often, but when you do you really need one. I'd like the printer to be wireless as we all use laptops but don't want to have the printer near the router.
The simple solution is to shell out for a wireless printer, but I have access to a cheap (and good) ethernet only printer. Now, how to connect it? I have a spare old router, which I'm thinking of connecting to the printer. I'd then have to get the router to join the network (is that possible?) or somehow bridge them. The to devices to join would be this and this.
I've just reformatted my computer and reinstalled windows xp but i can no longer find the window where you search for available wireless networks. It used to be a little icon in the bottom right of the task-bar.
When i first set up my wireless i could see it but couldnt authenicate and connect.I was using fire fox as my browser. I could also see my neighbors network. I downloaded internet explorer and now i cant see either one. i have a program calle dconnectivity doctor and it can see both networks. Iam not a computer whiz .
I cannot see any wireless network on the list of wireless networks. My Laptop is Acer Travelmate 4502 on Windows XP. I ran ipconfig in command prompt. [code]
