USB Wireless Adaptor Problem

[rdfcpete]

Hey Guys,

Had my new system for 3 weeks now.
Ever since I've set the wireless up on it, it's been a real nightmare, very very inconsistent and also very frustrating.
Often when I boot the machine, it will just not connect despite the router downstairs being powered and on, as well as the broadband modem being on and ready.
I've reinstalled the drivers from the Belkin CD many times, so presumably not that unless there's some very unlikely updates on their wsite.

Whenever I try to repair my connection, I receive the following message:

Also when trying to disable the connection in Network Conn's by right clicking, I get the following warning:

When I had the connection on my Athlon shuttle machine, I was able to do both of these functions without error, so clearly in my desperation to get net upstairs I've fluffed it somewhere, so any fixes are much appreicated.

Thanks,

Pete.

Naa, I would have thought it lies deeper than that considering it doesn't let me repair or disable, when it did before with the identically same drivers?

Thanks,

Pete.


***Edit***
This is probably quite significant, but when I boot the PC and cant repair the connection, as soon as I remove the USB device and literally plug it straight back in a second later, the connection automatically repairs and the icon changes from offline to renewing IP then online again, and I'm suddenly connected

Any ideas? Cheers.

Is it a weak connection?

Nope, Always excellent or very good.

try a new driver, will do more good than harm

Just downloaded the latest from the Linksys site, and I had the latest as it found no better match.

Delete the connection and recreate it?
Reset your tcp/ip stack?

I've tried deleting the connection, but don't think I went about it properly, how is this done manually shall we say?

I'll try resetting the tcp/ip stack.

Thanks,

Pete.

Couldn't find the tcpipfix at all.

My ultimate workaround is to pull the adaptor out the USB port then plug it straight back in again.
Seems to auto connect to the router and the network after around 10 seconds then im away.

Why the fluff would it make me do that, what's so different about putting it back in?

Still urgent this chaps so appreciate any help

Thank you,

Pete.
