Ok try this rob, it’s quite painless, also make sure your laptop is at least 3-4ft away from your router, too close and it won’t work either (not alot of people know that :wink: )

Ok now we’re cooking

Sunny I just posted a reply for rob, it’s a four step guide to setting up a wireless network which you had running before VM re-cabled, I bet they turned off your modem without re-booting the router in the process, the router is fine it just needs re-configuring.

First, turn off all the computers, turn off (at the plug switch) the router and modem wait a mo (2-3 mins) then turn the modem back on and wait for the lights to settle down 2-3 mins, then turn the router back and let it settle as well, then turn on your PC and try to connect to the internet, then try a wireless PC etc

Go through the set up process from microsoft just to make sure your set up correctly, its a very useful guide :wink:

The PC and laptop should be ok from what you say.

Done most you have said dru

But it gets the conection the drops out about 3 /4 mins

Even done a system restore and nowt grrrrrrrrrrr

Well, provided that your laptop is more than a metre away (minimum distance away, any less and wireless won’t work) check for any intereference in between, eg any other ‘remote’ equipment including telephones.

hello folks i dunno if anyone can help me sort this out but for some reason wheni join jc i keep freezing up and then falling out of room i know this can happen occasionly but ist getting beyond a joke ive tried the usual suspects the modem the router cables etc but im always picking up a good too excellent signal so its not that it just seems too be with jc ive also tried deleting java from my progmammes and readding it still too no effect if anyone has anyideas i would be grateful

What other apps are you running at the same time as being in JC rob?

Could be either low memory, incorrect pagefile settings, lots of possible things

If your on dial up ring your local exchange and ask them to clear the line, excessive noise on the line can cause loss of signal.
You sound as though you are on wireless, I’d check your security eg SSID and WPA key is set, as someone else could be using your signal and sucking up the bandwidth. I’d also do a full spyware scan just in case.

Worth a look

Hi Sunns,

Sorry I couldn’t stop and chat last night was celebrating (hic! doh my head)
Main reason for sudden broken wireless conectivity is usually down to Spyware, when I say sudden I mean nothing else has changed in terms of hardware or software?

So, systematic checking, some of which you have already done.

1. Full spyware scan
2. Full virus scan
3. If you have a USB network adapter try reinstalling it
4. If you have a wireless PCMCIA card, check light activity on the card
5. Is the wireless icon in the system tray? and what colour is it?
6. Re-set up the wireless Network using a different SSID and use WPA encryption instead of WEP if the lappy is already wireless enabled.
7. Keep trying to re-connect after each of the above then you’ll narrow down the cause and hopefuly prevent it in the future.

Most of these things should cure any problems if not all of them, apart form an adapter or router failure (which is rare) that should be it
If you had a power failure or someone turned off the router by accident it would of reset back to its default settings so you’ll need to re-run the set up software that came with the router/adapter again.

Would be interesting to know how you fixed it.
