    limited or no connectivity
    « on: February 05, 2007, 09:05:39 AM »
    I know I posted this a thime ago, but I actually still don't know how you could solve the problem 'limited or no connectivity' message. I see that this question is often asked so it might be helpfull to solve it and make a sticky on the q&a forum. For beeing clear the following things aren't the problem:
    *Bad connection
    *Bad software/drivers (or any other software issues)
    *Spyware/viruses
    The problem I see alot that it works good for a long time, but suddenly it doesn't work for a few hours/days
    I know this can be solved with rebooting your router and modem, but isn't there an easier way to solve thas or to make that it doesn't come back?

    [edit]Forgot to mention that hardware isn't the problem neither, and that the problem is cause with WIRELESS connection[/edit]

    If your problem is faulty hardware, you need to replace it.  9 times out of 10 though, this message goes away if youuse static IP addresses on your LAN.  Or a decent DHCP server.
    Only able to visit the forums sporadically, sorry.

      Forgot to mention, hardware isn't the problem neither. But what you say from that static IP adress is interesting, I don't know if I have it. What is it usefull for (to solve this problem) and how can I change it?

      I had this problem. What worked for me was to disable the internet from your pc. Then shut down. You then switch the router of from the mains. Then after about a minute put the router back on. Then you turn back on your pc and enable back the internet on your pc. I have no idea how it worked but it worked for other people to. After I did this I never needed to do it again.

      Hope that helps.

      Most of what that did could probably be achieved with a command prompt and the lines:
      "ipconfig /release"
      "ipconfig /flushdns"
      "ipconfig /renew"

      All you did was force you router to reissue network IP addresses.
