Wireless connection problem.

aiconnell · 07-23-2006, 12:24 PM

I haven't been able to use my wireless internet connection since I installed Windows XP SP2.

When I switch on the computer, it connects fine to the wireless until about 5 minutes later, when it just disconnects for no reason.

Then I do this:

Open up the dialog box below:

Click on Connect

Wait for 5-10 seconds, when it connects. When it does, the box hasn't completely connected, with it still staying it's connecting. Then after about 5-10 minutes, it disconnects again.

It is a little confusing to explain, but can anyone help at all?

During the time that its "connected", can you access the internet? Are you connecting to a home network? Yours?
First, I would check that your drivers are up to date. Your older drivers may not be compatible with XP SP2.
