Windows XP Bedevils Wi-Fi Users | |
|

Kevin Gilmore is a network administrator at MicroDisplay, a small company in San Pablo, California, that uses several Wi-Fi access points to give employees the freedom to roam around the office with their laptops while remaining connected to the Internet. But these days, Gilmore keeps encountering a problem that many Windows XP users know all too well: the sudden and inexplicable loss of their wireless Internet connections. As Gilmore knows from the flow of support calls, there's little point in trying to find a permanent solution to the problem. | ||

Yeah. My Windows XP never loses connection... until I pick up the 2.4 Ghz cordless telephone. And then boom, it's gone. But I like my telephone, it's really cool. speakerphone, built in answering machine... talking caller id and a ring that sounds like birds chirping which drives my cats nuts. :)
I do have a problem occasionally where my XP machine will lose connection with wireless, it'll come back up stating that it's found a wireless access point to connect to, I say ok, but it doesn't connect. I have to reboot the machine. :( A friend of mine says he has problem where you have multiple access points, that XP will sometimes decide to try to connect to the other one. It get's a bit freaky, but he says SP2 fixes this issue. Perhaps that is what they are running into here. |
