Wireless problem after installing SP3

[Guest Paul]

Hi

After installing SP3 onto an Acer Aspire 1360 (XP Home SP2) it will no

longer connect to my wireless network. It simply sits there trying to

acquire an IP address but doesn't succeed. It also says the signal

strength is low where it is usually excellent and is trying to connect at

1Mbps. Trying to find networks in range results in the claim there are no

networks in range. Uninstalling SP3 restores normality. The wireless

router is a Belkin with hardware version F5D7231-4 2000. Any ideas?

Problem is not with the router but the wireless adapter inside the

Acer. Check for updated drivers from Acer or try uninstalling

wireless adapter and rebooting XP. This should reset the drivers for

the wireless adapter.

You may want to contact Belkin for help.

 

Some third-party programs may experience a change in functionality after you

install Windows XP Service Pack 3

The above article has contact info for various vendors but none for Belkin...go

figure.

 

I Googled and found a firmware update that's available for your router, but you

should check with their tech support first to see if this will cure your

problem. Here's the link for the update:

Good luck!

Hi Paul,

 

I'm losing connectivity -- I use a wireless Netgear adapter -- to the

Internet after installing SP3, although it hasn't been immediately apparent.

 

Earlier this week, I first thought it was due to AVG 7.5 / AVG 8.0 issues.

 

However, overnight I lost connectivity again for no apparent reason, and

after spending an hour this morning uninstalling/reinstalling AVG and the

Netgear software -- and still being unable to get Internet connectivity as

it looks...

and looks...and looks to acquire an IP address -- I finally just uninstalled

SP3.

 

I'll continue using SP2 for a while.

Hi

Thanks to all who offered some help on this - My main problem is I can't

update the network card drivers as the company that made it is no more and

I already have their last drivers. I'm getting a replacement card and

hopefully SP3 will work with that
