Solved Wireless help

[TheManc]

Hey, guys, I've been a regular guest for a while now, just checking out the forum. Anyway, I registered today because i couldn't find a solution to my problem. Essentially, my internet keeps disconnecting then reconnecting. This happens several times a day. By the way, this has nothing to do with router as my siblings' computers are working perfectly well regarding the network aspect. I don't know whether it's a hardware problem or what. Anyway, I would appreciate the help.

Regards,

I'm guessing this is a laptop. First thing to check is the proximity of your PC to the router. Try moving it a little closer and see if signal keeps dropping. Next thing to check, see if there are any updates from MS and any from your router. Next I would check the PC in question to see if any malware is present which could be causing the problem.

 

[TheManc]

Well, he signal still drops when I'm closer to the router, there's nothing wrong with the router. Also, any free program you can link me so I can try regarding Malware? Bare in mind, this is a fresh new copy installed, but it was installed over Vista.

One option may be ip conflict or that the box is "kicking"you off check the routers settings

 

[TheManc]

Hm, how do you stop IP Conflict?

 

[Samunition]

on the router settings give static ip adresses to each machine

 

[TheManc]

I don't know how to that on a belkin router.

 

[Samunition]

Are you the what people call the network admin so do you own the router

 

[TheManc]

Yes, I know how to get on the router settings, I know the password and username etc.

 

[Samunition]

So if you logon to it take a screen shot and i should be able to point out where you need to go as all routers have different layouts

 

[TheManc]

Okay, here you go. By the way, I'm using another laptop.

It should be in IP filters

 

[TheManc]

Eh? Ip Filters is when you want to block a computer's ip in a certain time of day.

acoording to the mannual for our belkin box it is there lets try something else let me get my Ms-dos book

 

[Samunition]

netsh interface ip set address name="Local Area Connection" static 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.255 192.168.1.1

got to start
then run
type cmd
enter code above

 

[TheManc]

It says

"Invalid address parameter (ip). It should be a valid IPv4 address"

 

[Samunition]

iwill check it against your settings

 

[Samunition]

netsh interface ip set address name="Local Area Connection" static 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.255 2.96.16.1

 

[TheManc]

What will this do?

 

[Samunition]

it will set your ip adress to a static one
