I have a wireless network and recently GTG helped me get rid of some major bugs on my computer, however ever since then, my wireless network on my 2nd computer won't stay connected. I'm not sure if it's related or not.

But basically the router and connection works just fine on the computer hooked up directly to the router, but the 2nd computer will say it will connect, but then after about 2 minutes of being on the Internet it loses connectivity. Both computer are in the same room and right beside each other. Also, the other strange thing is that when I open open the "view available networks, sometimes it will say my "default" network( usually the one with the strongest connection that I have used always in the past" is not online when it is. If I click on it, it will say it's not online or vice versa.

Any help would be wonderful! Thanks

Hey realapp,

Please try the following steps.

Step 1 - Disable IEEE 802.1X Authentication:
Please follow the steps listed in this MS Article - Wireless Connection Is Periodically Lost -- I'm mainly interested in Part 1: Disable IEEE 802.1X Authentication.

If that doesn't resolve your issue, the next time your wireless computer loses its Internet connection, please do the following.

Step 2 - Connectivity test:
  • Press Start
  • Select Run
  • Type cmd and press OK
  • In the new command prompt window, please type the following commands (*Note: each ping will take approximately 10 seconds to complete; wait for the command prompt to return before you type the next one. Also, the single '>' and double '>>' are intentional; please type the commands exactly as they appear):
    • ipconfig /all > C:\results.txt
    • route print >> C:\results.txt
    • ping localhost >> C:\results.txt
    • ping google.com >> C:\results.txt
    • ping 209.85.171.100 >> C:\results.txt
  • Once the above commands have completed, navigate to your C: drive and open the text file results.txt -- please copy/paste the contents of this file into your next response.
Thanks,
- Dan

The instruction don't seem to jive with Windows XP


Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Network Connections.
Right-click the wireless network connection, and then click Properties.
Click the Wireless Networks tab.
Under Available networks, click the wireless network, and then click Configure.
Click the Authentication tab, and then click to clear the Enable IEEE 802.1X authentication for this network check box, if it is selected.
Click OK two times.

There is no Configure or Authentication tab that I can find?



Ok, I find it. Everythign was grayed out. just had a yellow exclamation at bottom that said authentication can not operate on peer to peer networks or on networks in which data encryption is enable.

I'll try your other suggestion.

Hello,

Are you using third party software to handle your wireless connection? If so, try temporarily disabling it and allow Windows to handle your connection.

Step 1 - Use Windows to configure your wireless settings
  • Go to the Start menu and select Run
  • Type ncpa.cpl and click OK to open the Network Connections menu
  • Select your wireless connection service and choose the option Change settings of this connection.
  • Go to the Wireless Networks tab and check the box labeled Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings
Step 2 - Launch Windows Zero Configuration
  • Go to the Start menu and select Run
  • Type services.msc and click OK
  • Double-click on the service Wireless Zero Configuration (it'll be at the bottom of the list).
  • Go to the Startup type list and select Automatic. Click Apply to confirm the changes.
  • Select Start in the Service status section and then press OK to apply the changes.
If you are already using WZC, then please proceed to Step 2 from my first post.

Thanks,
- Dan

I didn't see your post #4 while I was trying to 2nd option. Also, it's been hit and missing trying to get on here with this connection. Anyway, I'm a little clueless when it comes to the lingo, but I do believe I'm using 3rd party software. I'm using DLink for the router and something else (can't remember) for the adapter.

I'm not sure how I would temporary disable it?

Anyway, I'm a little clueless when it comes to the lingo, but I do believe I'm using 3rd party software. I'm using DLink for the router and something else (can't remember) for the adapter.

It's okay, you won't need to worry about this for the time being.

Step 1 - Generate a startup and uninstall list:
Please download HijackThis (if you do not already have it) and install it -- once it is installed, restart your computer. Once the computer starts up, can you please launch HijackThis and then select the option Open the Misc Tools section -- select Generate StartupList log. Save the startup list in a safe location. Now select the option Open Uninstall Manager and then click Save list -- save it to a safe location. Please post the contents of the startup list and the uninstall list in your next response.

Step 2 - Start your machine in a clean boot state:
  • Click Start, click Run, type msconfig, and then click OK
  • In the new window, select the General tab and then select Selective Startup
  • Click to clear the Process SYSTEM.INI File check box.
  • Click to clear the Process WIN.INI File check box.
  • Click to clear the Load Startup Items check box. Verify that Load System Services and Use Original BOOT.INI are checked.
  • Click the Services tab.
  • Click to select the Hide All Microsoft Services check box.
  • Click Disable All, and then click OK.
  • When you are prompted, click Restart to restart the computer.
When the computer reboots, are you able to connect to the Internet, and do you still randomly lose your connection?
*Note: To return Windows to a normal startup mode, please do the following:
  • Select Start, and then click Run.
  • Type msconfig, and then click OK.
  • Click the General tab, click Normal Startup - load all device drivers and services, and then click OK. When you are prompted, click Restart to restart the computer.

What sort of signal strength are you getting to your router? I can't see any overly problematic applications installed and running on your machine. Please have a look in your event log for errors/warnings that occur around the time you lose your connection.

Step 1 - Event Log/Viewer errors/warnings:
  • Click Start, select Run, type eventvwr and press OK
  • In the new window, look under the System log for any errors and/or warnings. If you find any, please post the relevant heading, along with the details inside by double clicking on the error/warning (denoted by a red 'x' or a yellow '!', respectively), and then copy/pasting the information from within. *Note: You'll mainly be looking for DHCP and TCP/IP errors/warnings.
Does that computer that connects via wireless roam often (i.e. do you move between networks a lot), or is it just a stationary desktop?

Thanks,
- Dan

Thanks for posting those error messages. It's looking like your wireless machine is having DHCP issues; for this reason we'll try setting a static IP.

Step 1 - Configure a Static IP:
Goto Start --> Programs --> Accessories --> Communications --> Network Connections --> Right click on your Wireless Network Connection --> Select Properties --> Click on Internet Protocl (TCP/IP) once and press the Properties button --> Select the option Use the following IP Address: --> Enter in the following details:
  • IP Address: 192.168.2.11
  • Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
  • Default Gateway: 192.168.2.1
Select Use the following DNS Servers --> Enter in two DNS Servers:
  • Preferred DNS Server: 192.168.2.1
  • Alternate DNS Server: <leave blank>
Press OK.

Try connecting to your wireless now; do you still randomly lose your Internet connection?

HI Dan,

I tried doing that, but it still is not working. I did notice (not sure if it matters) but when I open the network connections it shows my network and has a big red X that says it is firewalled and not connected. IS this suppose to be this way?

Hey realapp,

I did notice (not sure if it matters) but when I open the network connections it shows my network and has a big red X that says it is firewalled and not connected. IS this suppose to be this way?

It could indicate software interference. The best way to rule out software interference is to restart in Safe mode with Networking; however -- wireless doesn't work in safe mode :) I did just notice that you have a few different programs with real-time protection installed.

So, here's my recommendation. I assume that after you got a clean bill of health from our malware staff, you probably installed some extra security applications -- that's great; 99% of the time users follow these instructions without any dramas. However, one of these applications may now be causing your issues. For this reason, I'm going to suggest that you uninstall Avira AntiVir Personal - Free Antivirus; this is the application that is most likely to be causing your issue. If, after uninstalling Avira, the issue persists, then you are more than welcome to re-install it. If the issue goes away, then I would suggest installing a different anti-virus (i.e. Avast! or AVG).

The next application to go is Ad-Aware SE Personal -- if you have this applications real-time protection active, it may be conflicting with SpywareGuard. If after uninstalling Ad-Aware, the issue is still there, try removing SpywareGuard. Finally, SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition's real-time scanning may be causing an issue -- so try removing it as well.

Removing the applications in that order would be my best recommendation. Let me know if the issue still occurs after you have completed these steps.

Thanks,
- Dan
