hi everybody,
i have the linksys wrt150n wireless router and two computers : one is connected to the router by the ethernet cable and the other one is wireless. when i switched on the router and use the "wireless" computer, there is no problem with my internet connection. i can stay connected for hours...
but when i used the "wired" computer, i do get access to the internet but for less than a minute (both with explorer and firefox) regardless if the "wireless" computer is on or off. i have to unplug the router and plug it back on and then i get access to internet and i don't lose any connection.
if the "wireless" computer is on and i switched on the "wired" computer, not only i lose connection with the "wired" computer as previously mentioned, i also lose internet connection with the "wireless" computer. and when i unplug the router and plug it back, i get internet access on both computers for hours. i do get disconnected but it does not happen very often.
anybody can help? any suggestion as to why the lost of connection? btw, the "wireless" computer runs on xp and the "wired" computer runs on windows nt 2000.
i don't think it's the ethernet cable because i tried a usb network adapter with the "wired" computer and it still does the same thing i.e get disconnected and have to unplug and plug back the router...
