Hi,

I have 2 pc's on a wireless network which seem to connect fine (most of the time) when they start up, but if they sleep/hibernate and sometimes starting up and then try to connect to my network I get limited access - no network connection and when I do the windows 7 troubleshooter It always asks me to reset the wireless device which is I think my router. So I unplug the router, wait 10s and plug it back in and the connection works. How do I fix this problem?

I dont want to have to unplug the router everyday.

any help would be appreciated.

update: Its not only when I log off and log back on. I left the pc idle for about an hour or 2 today and I come back and that dam triangle is up again with limited access. I installed the driver from dlink as well.

As Celestra indicated in an earlier post try using the ipconfig /all from a command prompt to attempt to see and understand what exactly is happening when the problem occurs. Compare the results of the command when the connection is working to the results of the command when the connection fails, see whats missing or changing.
Use the ping command under both conditions ping the inside edge of your router and other network nodes inside your network. Try pinging outside addresses like 64.233.169.99 as well as FQDNs...

ok I finally got around to this. I hooked up my computer to the router by a wire and the other PC is still having connection issues wirelessly so sometime in the near future I will buy or obtain a new router to see if that regulates my poblem. I have a feeling that it is the radio signal on the router that is not working.

ok so I got a new router and the problem still doesn't seem to be solved. this problem must be something with windows firewall and router settings. i've tried everything and i'm out of ideas. anyone got any other ideas?
