what the heck?

**jessman** · 11-23-2006, 09:32 AM

This has happened several times, where I will be surfing the web, everythings fine, then all of a sudden I click to go to another page, and it says papeg cannot be found, then my network is disconnected! To fix it I usually have to unplug my USB adapter for about 10 seoncds then plug it back in, but this is a really annoying problem and I would like to know how to fiz this permanetly

if this doesnt help, u need to tell me your exact error message

**johnwill** · 11-23-2006, 01:22 PM

I'd suggest getting rid of USB connections and using Ethernet. USB is frequently problematic when connecting to networks...

You might give us the exact make/model of the modem, any router, and other networking equipment...

I get no error message, just out of nowwhere an red x appears on my wireless conncetion comp icon.

Router is a linksys WRT54G
USB adapter is a linksys wireless G usb adapter

that means your com isnt recieving any conection. how far way is you router? it might be too far to get signal

**jessman** · 11-23-2006, 09:00 PM

router is in the room across from the one my comp is in (prolly no more than 15 ft)

try puting the wreless USB in a different USB slot

**jessman** · 11-23-2006, 10:25 PM

None of my USB slots are USB 2.0. Could that be a problem?

USB1 would make things slower but I can't see it being the issue considering it was working. However I'm not the pro and am inclined to agree with JohnWill about Ethernet being better than USB as Ethernet is built for networking wheras USB isn't
