I have a small network at home.
Three PCs configured as follows:
A: WinXP Home SP2 via Ethernet
B: WinXP Home SP2 via 802.11b
C: Win98SE via 802.11b
I use a Netgear MR314 wireless router.
I am having problems with "B" post SP2 upgrade. When "B" is first turned
on, it connects to the network and the Internet. However, after a period
(which is usually just a few minutes) it no longer connects to either the
network or the Internet.
When the PC fails to connect:
1. I am unable to PING 192.168.0.1
2. Net View responds with "System error 6118 has occurred"
When I connect "B" via Ethernet, there are no such problems.
When I switch the identical wireless cards (D-Link DWL-650) between "B" &
"C", both "B" and "C" continue to work as described above, i.e., it's not
the wireless card.
I have used Device Manager to confirm my drivers are up to date.
I have called the SP2 helpline a couple of times, but this hasn't helped.
