Wireless internet disconection

August 26, 2008

When using the switch user function, the wireless internet gets disconnected.

meaning from "user1", i switch user to "user2", and when i get back to

"user1", i realise that the wireless internet for "user1" has been

disconnected.

what settings can be done to allow the internet to be still connected when i

switch user?

RE: Wireless internet disconection

Open internet connections on the good user,write down the properties data

from the properties box,set other to same if diffrent.Also,chk windows

components

from add/remove programs,make sure all boxes are checked as needed..

Re: Wireless internet disconection

Internet Connections ( Local Area Network and Wireless ) are global.

They do not arbitrarily work for one profile and not another.

Do you actually think before responding. You needlessly send posters

off on non-relevant operations that do not help. Why would Add/Remove

programs make any difference at all. If that was the cause then NO

network would function for any profile. Also saying check boxes and

providing no list or suggestions of which boxes to check is worthless.

I recently had this issue with a client, who installed the Wireless

manufacturer Utility to manage the connection, while the Windows Zero

configuration (WZC) was ON.

Both the manufacturer and WZC were conflicting and making the Wireless lose

connection on start or after a while of usage.

Try to Disable the WZC if you have the wireless Adapter/USB or whatever kind

of wireless manufacturer utility installed and Also be sure the Wireless

Utility for the manufacturer is Auto running in the servcies.

If you have just the windows Wireless utility to manage the wireless

connection then proceed:

Try this:

Open a Run Command and type in:

services.msc click [OK].

On the services control Panel scroll down to Windows Zero Wireless

configuration and Be sure the service to start Automatically instead of

manually.

Click Ok then close the services control panel window and Reboot and see if

the service will hold it's settings to Auto.

Another option to consider is if the computer been configured to Turn off

the device for power saving and you can check that through device manager and

right click on the wireless connection and select properties then click on

Power management , make sure this check box not checked:

[ ] Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.

Reboot your machine and see if the machine will hold the wireless connection.

Another if your neighbour using the same wireless channel which can affect

your wireless connection if it wasn't set properly in the first place.

RE: Wireless internet disconection

(Reply to PA Bear)Currently i am using Windows XP Professional, SP2.

(Reply to nass)

for the first method which you have stated, the configuration had been set

before, and did not help in the problem.

i tried the second method, indeed the box was checked. i un-checked it and

restarted my com. the problem still existed. meaning when i switch user and

switch back, the wireless would show "Wireless connection has limited or no

connectivity".

are there any other solutions?

If you go back to User 1, does the wireless connection eventually appear?

Re: Wireless internet disconection

well, i did not wait long enough to see if it will get connected again.

it seems to be always showing that the wireless has limited or no

connectivity, and what i'll do is to disable and enable the wireless(using

the switch at the side of my laptop).

hope that answers your question.

Re: Wireless internet disconection

Hi Ben,

It will be helpful if you mentioned more about your Connection settings and

the hardware involved!

Try this:

= Click Start >> Control panel >> Network and Internet Connections >> Double

click Network connections, then right your LAN Icon and select Properties.

On the LAN properties under General make sure the Internet Protocol TCP/IP

is selected and click Properties.

There make sure the Machine Get assigned Automatically IP address and Renter

the Encryption Key and the Network SSID then click

[OK].

= Click start >> Control Panel >> Double Click Network and Internet

Connections >> Double click Internet Options, on the IE Properties window

you will see these Options:

| Advanced.

Click on Connections tab and make sure the Connection is listed there then

click on LAN settings button and uncheck Automatically detect settings.

Click [OK] and close Hit F5 and open a run command and type in:

ipconfig /flushdns click [OK]

ipconfig /renew click [OK]

netsh winsock reset click [OK]

Download the winsock fix from here:

http://www.nasstec.co.uk/tools.html

Reboot your machine.

If that didn't help try to upgrade the router firmware to the latest version

from the router Manufacturer website.

You receive a "Limited or no connectivity" message on a computer

Re: Wireless internet disconection

Hi Ben,

I may did misunderstood but can you please let us know your Connection

settings and what NIC model are you using?

Did you update the driver for the NIC from the manufactuer website?

What happen if you Disable the LAN (Local Area Coonection) connection and

just lef the Wireless Enabled?

Make sure to reboot your machine/Laptop.

Right click your Wireless and select properties from the drop down list and

click on Wireless Networks Tab then in the box for Preferred Networks

highlight the Wireless connection name you are using anf click on Properties

button.

On the NAME of Wireless properties window click on Authentication Tab and

uncheck this box if it been checked:

[ ] Enable IEEE 802.1x authentication for this network.

Click [OK] then [OK] and reboot your machine.

Does it help?

Make sure the wireless connection is allowed auto access in the Firewall

allowed programs control panel.

Does the machine get the IP automatically or is it Static?

Please describe your connection for us to give clear and focus solution.

Re: Wireless internet disconection

Hi Nass.

Currently, i am using wireless internet connection. When i switch user using

wireless internet connection, the previous user's internet will be

disconnected(message shown as the wireless has limited or no connection.).

The network card i am using Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945ABG.

I have never updated or done anything to the driver of this wireless(all

these have been configured in the laptop's school image).

I tried using disabling LAN connection, done a restart.After the restart, i

opened the Network Connections, and discovered that LAN has been enabled even

without me doing anything.

what do you mean by : Make sure the wireless connection is allowed auto

access in the Firewall allowed programs control panel.

i am using windows firewall.

The ip address for me is always 192.168.1.100. the address, i guess, is

automatically given to me thru my linksys router. over at my laptop, it is

set to "obtain a ip address automatically for me".

sorry, as i am not a technical expert, i do not really know what you guys

are looking for when solving the problem.

Re: Wireless internet disconection

Hi Ben,

Please try these steps then if it didn't work update the driver from the

link provided for Intel site and make sure your Operating system version is

correct.

Right click the wireless connection and select properties from the drop down

list.

On the Wireless Network Connections Properties under General click to select

Internet Protocol

(TCP/IP) to highlight and click on the Properties Button.

On the Internet Protocol TCP/IP Properties make sure the machine get the

Auto IP and the DNS then click

on Advanced Button under the IP settings Tab make sure the DHCP Enabled and

listed under the IP address

check this check box:

[ ] Automatic mertic

Then click on DNS Tab and see these steetings :

(*) Append primary and connection specific DNS suffixes

[ ]Append parent suffixes of the primary DNs suffix

[ ] Register this connection addresses in DNS

Click on WINS tab and see these settings are set as they on my machine:

NetBIOS settings:

(*) Default

Click [Ok] and back to the Wireless Network Connection Properties and click

on Wireless Networks Tab.

check this check box:

[ ] Use windows to configure my wireless network settings and click [Ok]

to close the properties window.

Reboot your machine and see if the issue will occure.
