Hi. I just wrote a lengthy post and for some reason it didn't post.. so now i just wasted 20 minutes writing and i really don't want to redo that..
i'll be quick..
D-link 108g MIMO wireless
ALLNET 0263p USB2.0 adapter
guest-comp has WinXP SP2
network strength showing on my guest-comp is 65-85%
windows incorporated software for wireless says "not set up to connect to access-point" when i try to connect to my network. But in the "preffered networks" -> "advanced" then it's set to "any" and if i try to change anything about the wireless network settings then it says that it can't be saved.
the software for my adapter is a HW .32 config utility
it has a range of tabs where you can see: networks available, profile, about, general etc. only 3 of the ones that should be there are visible before it detects a network, which it won't. Except when i reboot the comp and replug the the adapter, then it can find it once per program execution (if i exit the software i can't detect the network anymore).
anyway, when i do detect it i can log on and type in my encryption key fine (WEP, shared. Didn't want to connect when i used WPA-PSK for some reason)
BUT it disconnects after 30-60 seconds, and i then have to reconnect manually and it disconnects again.
help!
