Spec ; Toshiba Laptop Equium L20, XP SP2 up to date, Linksys wag354g wireless router, plusnet broadband.
I'm having problems which seem to centre around the encryption on the above equipment. Seems to routinely stop wireless internet traffic unless I switch it to a complete open network,(not likely to do). The only way I can get everything to keep running is if I set the router settings to keep connection every 180 seconds. The thing is the linksys set up disc doesn't set it up like this initially. However the only way I can get the router to restart internet traffic is to plug the laptop in with a network cable, get it running again with this then reconnect with wireless. Problem recurs when I switch off the laptop.
This has only been happening since I did a restore to factory settings. I've run the network wizards, tried inputting everything manually, looking for other ideas please. Also everything seems to be running through an 'Internet Gateway- IGD 1.0 on WAG354G'
Sorry to waffle on, any advice would be appreciated, thanks.
p.s. I'll be away till monday, so don't think I'm ignoring everybody.
