Hello all

On average, my connection through the wireless LAN to the main router lasts 15-25 minutes before cutting off.

When i try to re instate the connection, it connects to the right network once every few seconds, then disconnects.

The only way to get it to work again is to restart my computer.

I'm using win 98 se, the wireless signal reciever uses usb 2.0, but i have 1.1 (that doesnt seem to matter) and the software (which i suspect is the problem) is called ASUS COntrol Centre.

Even the computer genius i live with cant figure it out.

Any help would be hot!

And for reference, heres what the details of my connection are after 20 minutes... and it stopped working

(thats the details of my connection to SausageHouse LAN, but only lasts 3 seconds)

if(getThingFlags(source) & 0x8){
  do her}
elseif(getThingFlags(source) & 0x4){
  do other babe}
else{
  do a dude}

oh, and i just realised that says IP address is 04 at the end.

It shouldnt be, it should be 01.

Is it messing with my IP?

[edit: i hope i didnt provide the info needed for some fat friendless socially angry geek to hack my computer. No use anyway, i have no porn, you'll get nothing good)

No, it shouldn't be 1. If it was your computer would try to go into the internet over itself. 192.168.0.1 is your router's IP address.

How close is your computer to the router and are there any objects between them?

What is going on in the life of Ruthven?

USB version shouldn't matter. I believe all that happens when you use a USB2 device with 1.1 is that it runs at the slower 1.1 transfer speed.

Impi: Incorrect. The router IP does not have to be 192.168.0.1. What would happen if you had TWO routers then, eh?

My routers at home are 192.168.0.31 and 192.168.1.1. My local router at my college is 10.17.0.1, and there are probably a dozen more. I definitely know some routers ship as 192.168.1.1.

If the IP address has 4 at the end, it means one of two things:

1) You have a static IP set up... you will always be 4, unless someone else tries to be 4, then bad things(TM) happen.
2) You're being assigned 4 by DHCP, because 1, 2, and 3 are taken, but 4 was open. You may be assigned a different IP in the future based on what is available.

Ruth: Check with whoever runs the network and make sure the settings you should be using are set up in the Network Connections (or whatever 98 called it) control panel or in the ASUS driver application or whatever.

I know, but according to the pic he posted his router's ip (which runs a DHCP server) is 192.168.0.1.

I actually have two routers running at home.

I have nothing to offer other than the obvious MANSECKS.

*HUMPSRUTHY*

raaaaaaaaar

ok, it works now.

We got rid of the horrible software, thats what was disconnecting the internet and crashing the system.

We set the network to connect automatically and fiddled with the settings on the LAN in control panel and the router settings.

Yay!

ANd its fast, downloading at 600 kbs (thats fast for me)

Oops, I read your post wrong, I thought you were saying that about all routers. Didn't help that I didn't see his router IP until after I had forgot about your post.



GAH, I was going to suggest that too, but I knew Windows 98 had no built-in wireless networking thing so I assumed you were stuck with the software.
