So I installed a Netgear W111v2 USB adapter on my box running Vista Ultimate 64. I had the 2.3.2 drivers installed and it worked for a while, then randomally it would drop connection and lose its IP and never able to get it back when reconnected to the wifi signal.
I would randomally get a Host Process Stopped responding error. Every time I go to "Diagnose" the problem in the Network and Sharing center, it pops up with the same host process error and times out while Diagnosing the problem.
I first disabled IPv6, then I ran the registry script that gets rid of all the IPv6 tunnels. Still getting the same problem. Then I disabled the DHCP broacast through the registry tag there. Still not woring.
I upgraded the drivers to the 2.3.3 drivers, still nothing
The wireless router works fine on 2 xp machines that are in the same room, one a laptop on the same desk.
I updated the firmware on the Linksys WRT54G router, enabled and disabled uPnP and tried using a static IP. I changed the channels on the router, which just made it worse for the XP boxes.
I am at a loss here as to what else I can do to connect. I can connect fine to a paid hotspot near me (well actually 100 yards away across the George Bush Tollway) but it will not connect to the local router.
I know Sp1 is around the corner and supposed to help with some of these networking issues (speed when going to/from XP) but it helps me little as I cannot connect now. Just seeing if anyone here had similar issues.
