847347 2010-01-10 06:07:00 PF1 slowed down badly, sometimes its Ok others its slow as a wet week, or wont load at all, doesn't matter what browser, really intermittent. Other sites load fine or as expected.

Where you mention the wireless disabled in XP , thats on the PC, nothing to do with the router - I have seen that a few times on customers PC's - the fix was to remove the wireless drivers completely as well as delete from device manager, reboot and let it reinstall again.

Not the wireless. The gateway is physically connected to the PC. The wireless card is disabled I don't use it.

I just found that when the PC starts, the gateway icon under networks, is disabled, I have to right click and hit enable.

847348 2010-01-10 06:23:00 I was saying that this modem I had, adsl works, wireless is crap so now I don't use wireless its hard wired.... so having issues why this gateway icon says disabled each time I start up the PC....... Nomad (952)
847349 2010-01-10 07:49:00 Have you tried another router to make sure it is actually the router, and not the Ethernet connection just saying its disconnected.
While it was disabled. It has no problems going into the router setup by typing the IP address...... Think about it -- If its disabled it shouldn't be connecting -- so how is it getting the command ???? That makes no sense.

847350 2010-01-10 09:26:00 Only have one router.
If I had another one I would biff this, the wireless never works longer than 1 or 2hr at best. Hence I don't use wireless.

I dunno. I tried it again just now. For an experiment. I manually disable the "Internet Gateway" by right click. I type 192.168.1.1 and I login, it succeeds.... webpages don't thou ...

Well what do you mean by this?? Internet gateway under the LAN properties I take it? Put it on use the following ip address, give it an IP and put the routers ip in for the gateway. Then your ISP's DNS server ip's underneath. Then it should get on the net

Start -> Connect to -> Show all connections.

Windows opens up.

It list your wireless and wired connections, firewire.
Above it, it says "Internet Gateway" which is the router.


Do you mean I go to my wired network and go to properties? Then go to TCP/IP properties? This is my wired connection , not my gateway - as per the icon.

You got it thats what you should be filling in, (under the Ipv4 entry) not whats under the gateway entry.

847356 2010-01-10 09:49:00 Is this:
Preferred DNS server and Alternate DNS server?

Xnet only provide primary and secondary DNS numbers ...


And, "obtain an ip address automatically"?
