Connected but not connected

[drjpreston]

I have linksys wireless. Three notebooks. Running Windows XP Pro on all. Norton 2007 on all. Two are working fine. Third used to work fine. Now third says connected, signal strength excellent, 54.0 Mpbs. When looking at status. Shows five bars. Shows packets being sent but 0 packets received. When I go to show available networks it. shows none available, even though I am right next to router and the other two notebooks find it. I have tried to match settings of third notebook with the two that are working. Tried repair, rebooting.

Have you tried to diable and then enable the wireless lan on the recalctrant Laptop?

Also, open your taskbar, go to Satrt -Run and press enter. In the dialog box, type: services.msc and press enter.

Scroll down to wireless zero configuration and make sure it is running and startup is auto.

Got the same ptoblem here, I think; but with D-Link router and two notebook.

every morning, everythings was fine for average for 15-20 minutes ; and impossible to comunicate on network...and task-bar icon show connected...

All seem to be connected, got a tips from a friend ,desactivation of energy saving of the network card.

Maybe corruption of auto IP when rebooting the NIC.

Work fine for couple of weeks now.

Hope it will help you, or try to change wireless channel in router,

..._ - _ - every trouble shooting begin with power ON !! we always forgot one day. HAVE A NICE DAY.

Something else you might try, is to go to the TCP/IP properties and select repair.

The TCP/IP stack could be corrupted on the laptop.

If the notebooks have a manufactures wireless utility use it and not the windows wireless. Also check that norton isn't the culprit. Been seeing this alot . norton will block incoming udp traffic and tcp\ip on alot of ports because of fax software installed with all in one printers these days.
