Wireless won't connected on startup after setting up secure networI have an ASUS laptop with XP Pro. I had a problem securing my wireless
network, which was otherwise OK and so ran Linksys net set client. This set up a new secure wireless network and saved the settings. However, everytime I start the computer the wireless network does not connect and the wireless icon in the systray has a little red x through it. If I run setup file from linksys net set client saved settings it establishes the connection. Obviously I don't want to have to do this everytime I want to get on the internet. WZC is enabled and started. I understand that there maybe a conflict here but when I disable or stop WZC I still have the same problem. I have no idea where to go from here so any advise very welcomed. Have you considered uninstalling the Linksys client completely and
using only WZC to configure your wireless? What type of security are you using? WPA2? WPA?

It was strange that I could turn off every security feature and I still had to unload Zonealarm completely. It doesn't make sense to me but that fixed my Linksys WRT54G setup problem. > I managed to get everything working with my daughter's H.P. laptop but I > "Jon" wrote: > >> That was a consideration but I am not certain of how to uninstall the Linksys >> client.

After that it took a while to find out whether to use 64 bit or 128 bit, WPA, WEP, Tkip and a common security key, but it only took about 45 minutes. Most of that was poor documentation for the laptop and how to set up a non-plain-Jane wireless link. We have a few 'War drivers' around here that I have detected or just some neighbors who don't get the security aspects of running your own Internet radio station.

If the Wireless does not work when WZC is Off and the Linksys utility is installed, then you have a problem that is Not related to WZC. According to your description it might be a Router issue. Try to Hard Reset the Router, and make sure that you have the latest firmware installed. AS for the Wireless Client this might help, http://www.ezlan.net/wireless.html Jack (MVP-Networking).

to my original unsecured connection but still I could not connect. I have since run the Linksys Netset client and this establishes a new connection. When I rebooted the PC the wireless connection would not connect again. I looked at the wzc status and it was not started. I started it and under wireless networks tab chose use windows to configure my network settings and after 3 or 4 attempts a connection was established. After every restart the wzc is not started even though it is set to automatic.

No Internet connection even though nothing had changed. The cure, strangely enough, was to just unplug the ethernet cable to my computer and after about 5 seconds plug it in again, and it was like Windows had detected a whole new network. I never had this problem booting into Suse, or Ubuntu, so it was/is a Windows thing. Now I don't think I will buy Vista until some stupid customer buys into it and I have to go with the flow. Needless to say I prefer Linux for the critical stuff and Windows only for the forced CAD programs and the few things that companies just won't port over to Linux. As long as I have Open Office and Mozilla that takes care of most of my needs. I think Protel and Cadence would be very pleasantly surprised if they came out with Linux versions that could send Windows compatible files over the office network. Bill Baka
