Re: Vista Ultimate 32 SP1: problem w/unidentified network + ICS

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

running sniffer would help. you could certainly give your family
peace of mind by buying a new router. there are/were alot of Super G
routers out there based on the same chipset. I know D-Link and ZyXEL
had some. But I also suspect that a newer N router with an Atheros
chipset would be backward compatible and give you something to use
in the future.

Barb,

Thanks for your input. I have thought about getting a new edge device, but
the Trendnet pre-MIMO router has great coverage and I already have matching
wifi cards with the same Atheros Velocity chipset. Too bad I lost the WAN
port in a thunderstorm, which BTW also killed 2 DVD players and an OpenBSD
box.

The Trendnet device is still useful as an Ethernet-Wifi bridge. I used it
for more than a year when my home network had a Linux firewall/router/server
and XP Clients. Now I am moving my main desktop from XP to Vista, but this
Unidentified network problem disconnects the rest of the machine from the
Internet every time I reboot.

I don't mind resetting it, but sometimes I travel for several weeks and my
wife and kids will not have Internet if there is a power failure or a Windows
Update+reboot.

Are you saying that the unidentified network problem would disappear if I
get rid of the Trendnet device? Is there any document explaining how the
network identification system works, or do I have to sniff the Ethernet
packets to see what's going on?

Thanks again,
Axel

you really have a bad configuration here.

your best solution is to purchase a new router and use that as your
edge device. the fact that what you have is known to be damaged
means it isn't something worth trouble shooting.

There is a wireless router
connected to my Ethernet switch which is providing 802.11 Super G to the rest
of the house. I am not using the wifi router as gateway to the internet
because a lightning screwed up the WAN port. It is only an Ethernet to 802.11
bridge.
