You're not alone.
I'm using Linksys, BEFSR41, and WRT54GS routers, and got same message,
Mine happened at beginning of large snow storm, so I thought it was weather
related.
Called ISP tech support, and got MS' KB884020 patch. Was told that SP2
causes this issue. Still no good. Followed all instructions by tech support,
from Linksys, and ISP. nada....
Would really appreciate it if someone who wrote XP SP 2 would resolve this,
because patch did not solve, nor has anything else. Am now running on open
wireless connection. Am about ready to reset entire system.
Only seems to be off of WRT54GS. Hardwire connection is fine.
ISP tech stated that he--he had same issue, used same routers-- updated
firmware, and it solved his problem with this. When Linksys questioned, they
disavowed and said it would not solve issue.
Dell's only option is to revert to previous configuration. Not an option
here.
So, again... MS techs.... fix this. It's irritating, and time consuming, as
cannot stay online long enough to stop issue.
Windows seems to throw keys away within 5 minutes after being input. Must
then re-input key, do twice-- not standard, but go through inserting key,
clicking ok, to properites window, and network connections window, then
re-open properties window, and insert key again-- and then after 5 minutes,
repeat-- over, and over........ and over...... and over.... Ad infinitum.
This obviously kills internet connection each time. So the process can be
extremely tedious, and frustrating. Talk about sisyphus and his boulder. ....
