I am having a similar problem with XP and a Linksys WiFi router. We have the router
on Comcast. My new Dell laptop connects with Firefox browser every time with no drops
or other problems. A 1 year old Compaq with XP/SP2 connects only about half the
time, but if we keep trying it hooks up, usually on the second try. Sometimes a
Network Repair works, other times a Restart is needed. Older laptops cannot seem
to connect at all. The adapter actually connects right away in all cases, but the
browser doesn't. For example, AVG antivirus connects and updates while the Firefox
browser just comes up with the "unable to connect" message. Using IE doesn't help
- we have the same problems. I have tried many of the workarounds from this thread,
but none work for us. Any suggestions?
Will a different router solve the problems? Is a Netgear Max the best. How about
a Belkin?
Thanks.
