Re: problem with wireless network


Hello guys
I followed this thread and i have no problem with my notebook now except for the wireless network.
There are no sign of warnings in device manager and i can connect to my university wireless network and use the internet. but the problem is after a while the connection tray program stops responding and i will have to restart my notebook to use the internet again :smileysad: !
I have installed the following drivers:
 1. R127314.EXE: Network-Wireless 335 Bluetooth Module driver : http://ftp.us.dell.com/network/R127314.EXE
 2. R164255.EXE: Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN-driver : http://ftp.us.dell.com/network/R164255.EXE
i have explained the problem in detailed below:
If the signal strength is powerful, i wont have this problem, if the signal strength is a bit less, i will have this problem after a long time. if the signal strength is normal, i will have this problem after several minutes. generally, the less the signal strength the less time i can use the internet. i will have to turn wireless off and on periodically to prevent connection program from stop responding.
when connection program stops responding, when i try to restart my computer, i will have to end this tasks. also i wont be able to standby my notebook, it gives an error massage that one of the drivers are not working properly, I DID NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH MY PREVIUOS NOTBOOK. i could use the internet as much as i wanted even if signal was week!
I think the problem is that when the connection gets lost, the driver enters a bug and cannot disconnect or reconnect properly so if i take my notebook somewhere else with wireless network connected to internet, the driver will stop responding.
 
I formatted my computer and installed xp several times to make sure i have not make a mistake, but each time the problem exist.
Would anybody help me so that i can use my universities wireless internet comfortably?
With thanks in advance.

by 'connection tray program' i assume you are talking about the Intel Proset icon. try uninstalling Proset (only Proset, leave the drivers untouched) and connect using WZC. proset as always been a pain even for me. try Volcano's suggestion prior to trying mine though

Have you tried using the Intel ProSet Utility to adjust the power management settings on the wireless adapter to always supply full power?
