Wireless Connection problem
in [Network and Web]

From: Barb and Ray on 8 May 2008 22:31 Working on a Dell 4600, XP Sp2 . . . we are unable to get online with the Linksys WSB54G. ver. 2 network adapter . . . connection has been working well until recently. Now it will only go online if we hardwire it. The network adapter works on other computers. We have talked with the ISP provider, Linksys and AOL (which is the Broadband part), and they have shuffled us from one to the other, each saying it's the other's problem. We have reformatted the drive, and reinstalled the XP Sp2, and are still having the same problem. Any help would be much appreciated. If you need more information, please let us know and we will try to oblige. Two frustrated 75-year-old's.

Router/modem is an AT&T Home Portal, have run the Network Setup Wizard . . . IP address comes up as 169.254 . . . , we have been told it should be 192.168 . . . Have done an ipconfig /release . . . and . . . renew; gets as far as Acquiring IP Address then hangs . . . We have this computer at our house where we have three XP comps successfully networked. The owners' have same type of network at their home, same thing happens there. > > On Thu, 8 May 2008 19:31:54 -0700, "Barb and Ray" > <tincantyps(a)sbcglobal.net> wrote: > >>Working on a Dell 4600, XP Sp2 . . . we are unable to get online with the >>Linksys WSB54G. ver. 2 network adapter . . . connection has been working >>well until recently.

From: Barb Bowman on 10 May 2008 05:05 is the adapter a WUSB54G ( as opposed to a WSB54G as you posted which is an signal booster)? have you tried a different USB port on that machine? did the ISP have you try setting a static on the computer in the proper 192.168.x.x range?
