Hello All. I'm new here and have been perusing this site and many others trying to track down a solution to my internet connection problems. My problem is that I can connect to the internet and it shows I have a strong to weak signal most of the time. However, depending on which network I hook up to, I always have intermittent limited or no connectivity issues. I can browse for 10 seconds to 1 minute before I lose the connection. If anyone has any suggestions, please help. I have an older Compaq Presario 1800T and am using a 2Wire 802.11g Cardbus wireless. Anyway, I've been having this problem for some time. Mostly after the installation of Windows XP and SP2. I have tried the ipconfig/release, ipconfig/renew. Chances are you won't be able to help as I have been having this issue for over 6 months. Just thought I'd give it a try.
SEeing that you probably have done all of the basic steps. Have you tried re installing Windows XP. It might work.
Thanks for the replies. I have tried new wireless BUS cards/Network cards and USB ports, thinking that maybe it is the BUS port or USB port that is corrupt. I think I've eliminated everything to a software issue. I have not tried uninstall windows xp and reinstall as I do not have the original windows xp cd that was install on the lap top. I will have to locate another to try this as a last ditch effort. I appreciate the support. I guess with all the time and effort I have put into resolving this issue, I could have saved up and bought a new lap top
