myxbox

hi there,

i am having internet connection problems on both the laptop and desk top, they show the are connected to the adsl wireless router, but no data is passing thorough so no pages will load, and no software update.
sometimes it may work for a few minutes then just freeze .

i have changed no setting on either machine, checked firewall setting all ok, all the correct light are on, on the router. many thanks

desktop is XP
laptop Vista

Did this just suddenly start happening, is this a new router, or has this been happening for a while?

Are you sure there aren't multiple programs trying to access the network? When I installed our network, I had numerous problems with my PC and connecting. It turned out that the windows network manager was trying to connect at the same time as Virgin Media's program. I went into the control panel, into administrative options and services, and stopped VM's program from starting when Windows starts. With just the one program running it now works fine.
