Have you install the LAN(ethernet drivers) for your wired connection?

 

Did you see any yellow exclamation mark in device manager? if yes then tell me at what option?

 

If no then tell me you have laptop or desktop?

Make and model?

Hi thanks so much for your reply.

 

Yes the drivers are installed. There are no exclamation marks next to the 1394 network adapter.

 

When I go to network connections, it says it is connected but if I click on repair, an error message comes up that reads that the TCP/IP is not enabled for this connection. I have googled solutions to this problem and have not been able to resolve it.

 

 

I am using a desktop, homebuilt. AMD Athlon 64X2 Dual. Windoews XP 64 edition.

 

thanks again, Martin

Hi thanks for your reply. No, ipconfig/all doesnt change anything. Same error message with repair. I m not sure I understand your question. I am able to connect to internet via the wireless but I keep losing the signal. Through the LAN there is nothing. Status: 0 received 0 sent

Hello,

 

Did you use external wireless network card for wireless connection on your Desktop?

 

For Wired LAN whether you use onboard or External card?

HI I am using an internal wireless network card. The problem with it is that it constantly disconnects. It works better when I plug into the external transmitter for my headphones, even then it works sporadically, that is why I want to use the LAN conection. The LAN conection I am guesing is onboard, but I dont know I've never used it.

 

Thanks a mil,

Make sure your onboard lan is enabled through BIOS...

If yes then install suitable drivers for your LAN and check your ethernet cable whether it is good!

For dropping of wireless connection Check your wireless power settings:

 

Try to change your wifi router channel --> see tutorial

 

If switching the router channel didn’t work, you can try these other tips to help prevent your wireless connection from dropping.

First, see if your computer is managing your wireless card’s power. It may be instructed to shut off your wireless connectivity after a certain amount of idle time goes by. If you have system specific utilities, such as Dell’s Quickset, make sure that the wireless power management isn’t set to shut off the card if your computer is idle for a certain period of time.  Second you’ll want to check the settings on your wireless card via your device manager. In Windows XP:

 

  • Right-click on “My Computer” and select “Properties”
  • Select “Hardware” and click on “Device Manager”
  • Find your wireless card under “Network adapters” and double-click it.
  • Verify that there aren’t any auto power management settings enabled that might be shutting your card down prematurely.

Follow these steps:

Step 1:  Run the Network troubleshooter.

Refer:

Step 2: Update the network driver.

Follow the steps provided below.

a)     Click on start button.
b)     In the search box type devmgmt.msc and then press enter.
c)      Select the network card device and right click on it
d)     Now select properties
e)     In the properties window, under Driver tab, click on Update Driver button.
