Wireless Connection Issues

[grub50]

I have previously used a Netgear DG834G and am now using a D-Link G604T wireless modem router.

When I turn on my laptop the wireless connection is identified but the IP address will not automatically refresh and connect me to the internet. I have to hit the repair option everytime and even then I frequently get no connection. When it finally does connect I get the error message about the ARP cache not being able to be flushed.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what I should do to acheive continual connection - or at the very least automatic connection when I turn on the computer? Once connected it usually stays rock solid until turned off.

I have a theory that this could be the result of a Windows bug related to the ARP cache.

Please ensure that Microsoft Windows is not configured as a router:

Click the <Start> button
Click the <Control Panel> button
Switch to "Classic View" if you are in "Category View"
Click <Administrative Tools>
Click <Computer Management>
Double-click <Services and Applications>
Double-click <Services>
Scroll down to <Routing and Remote Services>
Double-click <Routing and Remote Services>
Examine the "Startup Type"
The options are "Automatic", "Manual", and "Disabled"
Set the "Startup Type" to "Disabled"
Click the <OK> button

Now try to clear your arp cache. It should work this time with no error messages.

Finally, test the setup by rebooting once or twice. My feeling is that your problem should magically disappear.

In my college, they have an access point. But I can only connect sometimes. Sometimes when connected, the speed will decrease and then the access point will stop responding. I just wonder why? :neutral:

That could be due to weak signal strength, but it's difficult to tell for certain without being there.
