:confused: My 2 computers run windows XP. My internet connection is via cable. I have a Blitzz BWK904 Wireless G Combo Kit, comprising a BWA721 wireless router and a BWU723 USB adapter. One computer is connected to the router via an ethernet connection, and has no problems. The other computer has a wireless connection via the adapter. Once the wireless connection is established, it is OK all the time the computer is on. The problem occurs after it is turned off. When the computer is turned back on, most times, the Wireless LAN Configuration Tool shows no connectivity, and if I open Network Connections in Control Panel, I cannot even find the wireless network icon. The only way we have found to reestablish connectivity is to (i) leave the computer on for about half hour, then (ii) unplug the adapter from the USB port and replug it back in. Connectivity is established almost immediately, and the wireless connection icon mysteriously appears in Network Connections. I have tried changing from "obtain IP address automatically" to a "static IP address" with no change, but I am not 100% I did it right, I setup the following: IP address 192.168.1.51, Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway 192.168.1.1, DNS Server 64.71.255.198
:?: Can anyone help?
