Wireless Network Problem

Hi,

I'm sorry if this is not all that technical, but it is
really driving me nuts and I'm hoping someone knows what
I can do.

I just purchased a laptop with built in wireless
technology that I use with my lynksis wireless
transmitter (I'm not sure if it is a router or not, but
I'm guess yes)two days ago. At first I plugged it in and
everything worked great. I also attempted to set up a
home network on this computer so I could access the files
on my old computer (running windows 98) with a wireless
card. I followed the wizard, but I'm not sure if I set
it up properly. Nevertheless, I was able to locate my
old computer and bring the files to my new computer.
Later I was checking my email through webmail and tried
to open a .pdf attachment. At that point my computer
froze and when I tried to close the program, the computer
shut down (without me doing so). Once I turned it back
on I could no longer use my wireless internet. I tried
manipulating many settings in my network connections, but
have been unable to conect to the internet. My wireless
status says it is sending and receiving packets, but I
can't connect to the internet nor can I ping any site.
When I plugged in the ethernet directly from the cable
modem, my computer connected to the internet with no
problems.

If you have any suggestions at all on what I can do to
fix this problem I would be really appreciative. Thank
you for your time and expertise in advance.

David

Hi,

The symptoms I encounter are in my wireless network I see
my wireless network and get excellent signal strength. I
see that it is sending and receiving packets, however,
when I attempt to connect to the internet it tries to
open the page and then goes to page cannot be displayed.
I've tried every different type of configurartion in the
wireless network config settings. If I plug in my local
area connection bypassing my lynksis wireless hub and
directly into my cable modem I connect to the internet no
problem.

Please let me know if you require more information.

Dear David,

Thank you for your reply.

1. In general, once your account has logged in the ISP, you will be
prompted with confirmation message such as "you have logged in...". Could
you please confirm that your account has been finished validated?

Note: You may try other random ISP such as MSN or AOL to narrow down the
problem scope.

2. Move the computer to a room with less magnetic devices, and then test
again.

Sincerely,

Seaver

My ISP has been functioning fine. And I've moved the
computer around the house, so I don't think it is that.
Do you have any other suggetions?

Dear David,

During logon process in ISP, you will at last be prompted with confirmation
message such as "you have logged in...".

Could you please confirm that your account has been finished validated?

If not while connected, the culprit lies in Server side. Therefore more
ISPs are recommended to try to narrow down the problem scope.

wireless network problem

Posted: 12-25-2003, 03:52 AM

Any help would be appreciated. I have 7 computers on a network. 4 are
cabled to the router, 3 laptops communicate via a wireless access point.
After a complete system reset of all computers, the router and the access
point, the system works perfectly. Then over time and/or if one of my
computers hibernates or gets rebooted or disconnected from the network for
some reason, the following happens:
1. All computers can access the internet.
2. The wireless computers can not access each other.
3. The wireless computers can access the wired computers.
4. The wired computers can not access the wireless computers.
5. Rebooting the access point does not correct the problem.
6. I can ping the wireless computers only by IP address, not by name.
7. With the wireless computers plugged into the router instead of wireless,
all works well.
8. Event error 4321 "The name "TLC :1d" could not be registered on the
Interface with IP address 192.168.0.4. The machine with the IP address
192.168.0.6 did not allow the name to be claimed by this machine." starts
appearing in my System Event Log. (Should the SSID on the AP be the same as
the workgroup name?)

I use a Netgear HE102 (802.11a) access point and 128 bit WEP and I just had
it replaced by Netgear. I don't think it has anything to do with the router
because I just went from a Linksys to Netgear and the issues are the same.
I use the routers DHCP. I've noticed that the listing for the AP in the
DHCP table does not have a name associated with it like the computers do,
yet the properties setup for the AP provides one. The wireless computers
run WinXP Home and Win98 (which I just added to see if it had the same
issue.) All computers have the same workgroup name, but the SSID on the
wireless side is different. The wired computers run XP Pro & Win2K Server
(but not set up as a server and I have the problem even if this computer is
off). The router is my firewall, no ICS, no Windows firewalls and 1
computer runs EZ Firewall which is really Zone Alarm. My problems occurred
before the installation of Zone Alarm. I keep all software and firmware
up-to-date. This problem has been driving me nuts, the network works on a
complete system reset then stops working.

TIA,
-Larry

Suggest:

1 Make the server a PDC with a static IP, and with DNS
server enabled
2 Change the DNS addresses of all computers to the server
ip
3 make every computer log in to the PDC at startup

the problem is name to ip resolution, this would be
eliminated if they all log in to the server. SSID is only
relevant for the wireless signal.

Please repost if you have any questions about this

Ed,
Thanks for the suggestion. Your suggestion is surely an option that will
probably work, but it doesn't fit my lifestyle right now. i have the W2KS
machine as a leftover accounting server from my business which is closed,
but i still need the accounting system archived contained thereon.
Currently i only use the machine because i put a TV tuner in it and watch
CNBC during the stock market trading day. So, i really don't want to have
to be a network administrator to my small workgroup of computers at home.
i'm trying to simplify the things i have to do in life. (Been working with
computers since 1968.) Right now my network is working OK, but that machine
is not on. i'm thinking that it may have a left over Host file that might
be getting in the way and will check that out. I'm also wondering if it
will always try to be the Master Browser and if I can turn that function
off.

Phil,
Thank you. Unfortunately I understand enough of the content of those links
to be dangerous. If I understand correctly what the links are telling me,
it's my W2KS machine that's the basis of my problem. It also appears that
W2K wants to be in control, and I want it to be just another workstation. I
have no need for domain controllers or having a domain. Do you know how I
can change some settings on the machine without getting very technical about
it or having to modify my entire workgroup? I'm not any kind of network
engineer and don't want to start learning more detail, I already know too
much.
Thanks,
-Larry
