Hi,
I have multiple questions regarding this message so,
please don't just glance at it and think you know nothing
about this topic. If you want you can scroll down to the
bottom and look at the questions I have. Anyway, heres
the story, I am having a problem with a Wireless USB
Adapter. It is a Linksys WUSB11 Version 2.6. The computer
I am running is on had Windows XP I also have a Linksys
Router. Sometimes when I turn it on, it will say network
connection unavalible in the system tray, then when I
double click it, it will have a list with my one network
(linksys), and since I don't have WEP I need to check a
box to make it let me connect. Then when I press connect,
it seems like it is trying to connect, but it keeps
coming up with a message saying there is one or more
possible networks to choose from, please select one from
the list (that isn't the exact message, but it is
similar). Usually restarting resolves this problem. So to
try to resolve this problem, I updated the driver. First
I did this on Windows Update, the driver update was
called, The Linksys Group, Inc. network software update
released on April 17 2003. After installing this and
rebooting a number of times, it wouldn't find my network,
but it was running fine on my other computers. So I did a
system restore back to before Windows Update, and I was
able to connect, but I had that problem where it wouldn't
connect once and kept making me select a network. So then
I updated it from your website, and I got the same
problem as I did with the one from Windows Update, though
that time I didn't have a restore point. I kept
uninstalling it, then reinstalling it, but Windows XP
automatically got the bad driver from last time and
wouldn't let me choose what driver to get. Finally I
relised there was a Roll Back Driver. option which
worked. So, I have a few questions, firstly, do you
know why and how to fix the problem where it won't
connect. Secondly, do you know why the new driver
wouldn't find my network? Thirdly, is there a way to make
XP not automatically recognize my Wireless USB Adapter so
it would reinstall the driver and not just give me the
previous one that doesn't work? Its so annoying when it
thinks it is smart by doing things for you, but doesn't
let you choose what to do. As much as I like XP is an
example of this. Lastly, if its not too much trouble,
from reinstalling the driver a multiple number of times,
the number in my Network Connection from Wireless Network
Connection keeps going up, even though I deleted it
(exp., Wireless Network Connection, Wireless Network
Connection 2, Wireless Network Connection 3, ect.). I
though I found that if you delete the Wireless Network
Connection in this registry key/subkey,
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001
\Control\Network\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318},
you are able to bring it back down, can you verify that
information for me? This was originally a message to
linksys, but they said to contact microsoft for some of
the things. I apologize if any of this message is still
addressed to linksys (my lazyness). If you could answer
any of it, it would be good.
Thank You For Your Help
