Wireless Connection keep hanging or drop

[Guest]

Vista Beta 2 installed fine. However, I having a problem when I am connecting
to my home wireless connection. It says it connected and get IP from DHCP and
such but I can only connect to the internet brieftly then it stop and say
having a problem.

Config:
Router/Wireless: Linksys
Type: 802.11G only
Encryption type: WPA2-Personal
SID: Not broadcast

I tried uninstall other stuff in the stack and disable IP6. Stop IPSec
related services and Windows Firewall. it still dropping my connection.

Anyone has the same problem?? Any workaround would be great!

Have you submitted feedback on this? The icon is on your desktop.

Might be a silly question - but did it work OK with previous builds or
previous OS's?
And is your antenna or computer in relatively good range of the wireless
router?

Thanks )

Hi, Andre

I just dit. Here is my description

------------

After successfuly create a new "wireless network connection", when you first
click "connect" to the newly created wireless network. It connects directly
without any problem. (I can browse the web) However, a minute or two later my
IE reports that it cannot connect to the website. The icon at the notication
tray is still saying it connect. But when i click to the icon it say it
connect as "Local Only" (From my computer to network) the graphic display an
'X" across the link to the internet. I tried to "repaire" it. It doesn't
work.

Let alone connect to the internet, connection to my local LAN is dropping as
well. When I tried to copy a file (15MB) on the network to my laptop. I
stopped like 5% into the process.

There is NO change in my wireless network configuration as it works fine in
my other laptop running windows xp sp2.

What I did to try to fix before reporting this:
- Uncheck: QoS, IP6, and a few other "discovery service" stuff (I have only
IP4/Wifi/Windows Client/file sharing checked)
- Stop Services: Base filtering engine (IPsec and Windows Firewall also stop)
- Reboot
- Still drop the connection

Router type: Linksys WRT54G version 2.0
Network type: 802.11g only
SID: not broadcast
Authentication/Encryption: WPA2-Personal with AES

Laptop: Toshiba M3
Wireless Adapter: Intel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG (driver comes with OS)

Hi, Zach

I didnot change any wireless network configuration in router. It works fine
on my other laptop with XP SP2 with the same wireless setting.

I vaguely recalled that it seem to work fine under February CTP.

I take 2 laptop sitting side-by-side signal is strong.

everything is working great. No dropping at all
