| 586439 | 2007-10-03 10:01:00 | Note sure if this will help at all.........I had a DI-524 which when set to high wireless channel (13 I think) vista would not even see it. | fatcam (9001) | ||
| 586440 | 2007-10-03 18:44:00 | Thanks for the ideas guys, many a time have I deleting the saved network settings. It still drops out with no encryption, im going to try a hard reset of the router next :dogeye: All those settings and port fowrards... oh well. I can't really make sence of the channel making any difference...but anything is worth trying!! Thanks. It's all different than the cordless phones in the house, and turning off phones/radios etc makes no difference. |

| 586441 | 2007-10-03 19:08:00 | I had a similar issue which was related to a dodgy 3rd party WiFi driver. I'd suggest you completely uninstall the driver, disable WiFi (i.e. using your hardware hotkey or in the BIOS), reboot a couple of times, grab the latest drivers off the manufacturer's website and put that on. Doing this fixed it for me - my connection would drop every 2-3mins on WiFi APs at work, but wasn't an issue at home. | somebody (208) | ||
| 586442 | 2007-10-04 08:46:00 | There are several vista updates just released which are worth a look especially as KB941649 says it improves the stability of wireless networks. Probably won't fix your problem but it looks as if this one should be applied anyway. There are several refs to these updates - scroll down on this site for example http://www.istartedsomething.com/ |

| 586443 | 2007-10-04 08:54:00 | DIE TRAITOR!!! How dare you suggest such a terrible thing! Even to utter such opinions in jest are considered treachery and treason of the highest level. I will need a huge bribe (something like x2 8800GTX's) to calm myself enough from hunting you down, and torturing you in the most terrible way. Every second post you make seems to be the same old crap of you trying to convince some poor sod to buy you a 8800GTX, perhaps you should "pwner" yourself. |

| 586444 | 2007-10-04 08:55:00 | Lot of Vista updates out according to MS designed to "solve" a few connection problems with Vista. | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 586445 | 2007-10-15 08:08:00 | *cough*:blush: Thread resurrection yet again. But I bring good news to ye! (or me) :p It's solved. Turns out I was maxing out the number of tcp/ip connections allowed per second by Vista Business. It wasn't file sharing or torrent apps that were causing it either, it was a combo of a heap of stuff, Vista Gadgets, outlook checking email every few mins, and media sharing over the network. Just normal stuff? Seems to me like M$ have been skimping... Vista Home Basic is only allowed 2 connections per second, while Vista Ultimate is allowed 25. Business and Home Premium are somewhere in between. Found a nice little crack (www.mydigitallife.info) that removes the limit completely. No more losing the connection!!! :D :D |

| 586447 | 2007-10-17 04:46:00 | I have a little niggle with Pete. But anyhow, not to worry. IMO all a lot of his posts do, is to contradict or pull apart someone else's. I know that's a sweeping statement, but in most cases I reckon it's true. What he said there was completely unnecessary, what Demon Hunter said was simply a joke. :2cents: Now just to clarify....this is what worked for me. Vista 32bit. Download the suitable file from this (www.mydigitallife.info) link. Boot up in safe mode. Take ownership of the C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers folder. Overwrite "tcpip.sys" with the cracked "tcpip.sys". (In the above directory) Reboot normally into Vista again. Open regedit and navigate to the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Tcpip\Parameters Right click on the right pane, select “New”, then select “DWORD value”. Enter the new value name as “TcpNumConnections” (without quotes). Double click on TcpNumConnections registry value, and modify the value data to the desired maximum TCP/IP connection limit that you want to allow, in decimal value. For example, enter 500 as the value data for TcpNumConnections. You can use any limit that you prefer. Reboot once more, and you should be off laughing. If you have a 64bit version of Vista, there are a few more thing you will need to do. The original link has the info. Many thanks to the great folks at www.mydigitallife.info who figured this out originally. :thumbs: |
