Wireless network problems
Hi,
I have a D-Link wireless router, which is used to share the home adsl line with 2 computers. However, I am frequently getting problems where it will just seemingly lose the connection to the internet, and won't restore it unless i reset factory defaults and reconfigure the adsl connection.
The connection to the router seems fine from both computers (one via cat5, the other via wireless), and the internet is never a problem with a non-wireless modem.
Anyone have any ideas?
Regards
SS

Have deleted my answer as after much reflection, I think I am completely out of the tree on this one. Please forgive me! Let me go and think for a while...

I have had exactly the same problem with my Belkin ADSL Modem Router thingy. I turned off the Windows firewall and it has not dropped out for days now. I used to have to unplug it every time it dropped out. Give that a try if you have another firewall running (I have McAfee).

I had this problem in spades with elder daughter's home network. In the end, I dumped the Belkin wireless router and got a "better" one. That was about nine months ago, and it's not dropped out since.
Belkin seem to have more than their fair share of problems.
