wireless vista disconnects
DBrooker
router, and says local access only.
Have tried disabling security, repair etc. I always have to reboot to
establish the conenction again. Typically will be connected for an hour or so.
Have tried disabling firewalls etc, to no avail. I am sure this must be
something to do with some update, as prior to a month ago I never ever had
this issue.
I have come back from a trip around the world, and established this was a
problem that started at some point during that trip.
I have used many different routers, and also updated the intel wirelss
drivers and even tried roll-back the driver to see if that was the issue.
Anybody got any ideas? When I try ipconfig/renew it says cannot renew the
wireless (and also the bluetooth, though my mouse still works) when they are
disconencted. Go to try to enable it and it does not work - have to reboot.
Appreciate any insight, have seen this issue posted elsewhere. It also
happened once when the lan cable was plugged in, so may be an issue with
Vista networking itself?..

Does ipconfig /all change then? In particular do you lose an adapter
or a default gateway?

It may help to elaborate on "repair etc.". However, rebooting is often
the simplest repair anyway.

Does that adapter have DHCP enabled?

Perhaps on a more relevant newsgroup? <eg>

Or your drivers... If that's what you meant by "something to do with some update"
try backing off recent updates or try updating from the manufacturer's site. Etc.
BTW XP uses the expression "roll back" when describing how to undo updates
to drivers. I guess that Vista will use the same terminology? FYI in XP there's an
unindexed help page about it, which I can reach from an indexed page called
Repair Overview. E.g. press Win-F1 and search for "roll back" (with quotes).

and the wireless asaptor and bluetooth say disconencted.
Will try the fix about broadcast flag and see if that resolves it. Strange
that all worked absolutely fine for the first 3 months :)
