internet hangs
« on: November 25, 2004, 01:38:10 PM »
i am on a wireless home network (802.11) connected to the internet running xp.  there are 3 other computers on the network and they dont have the problem running the same hardware.  this computer will stop recieving information from the internet.  it will still be sending, or think its sending but will not bring up any new sites.  the fix is to disable and then enable the wireless card.  it happens irregularly and whenever it feels like it although it seems to happen quicker if there is no activity (i am looking at a page or not doing anything)  any help would be greatly appreciated
