C
Confused
I have just re-installed Windows XP with SP2 on my IBM Thinkpad T61.
Everything seems to work fine apart from wireless. When I boot machine on,
the wireless logo comes up and I get connection. After about 10 minutes, I
get a red cross appear across the wireless icon.. strangely enough the
wireless connection continues to be ok for a short while longer (about 10-15
minutes). At this point, I get a message that my wirless signal has been
lost. I then have to reconnect which seems to take forever. However, once I
do manage to reconnect my wireless the red cross is still visible and the
wireless listing shows my network as "no connected", even though it is. Are
you confused or baffeled.. so am I..
Any help to sort this out greatly appreciated, as I am loosing more head of
hair by the day trying to figure this out.
I have tried everything I can think of..
- Downloaded all IBM drivers
- Downloaded Windows Xp update patches
- Prevented the wireless card from switching off to save power
- Changed channels on my router (now set to channel 12)
- Changed from 801a to 801 b/g etc
