Belkin F5D7050 oddity
connecting to a Linksys WAG54G a few feet away. The Belkin monitor utility displays an animated representation of the adapter correctly connecting to the router and thence to the internet. Every 60 seconds, it shows the connection from router to internet to be broken, and 10 seconds later to be restored, repeatedly. While experimenting, I ran a continuous ping to my ISP and was surprised to see that the pinging was unaffected, even when the monitor was showing the connection broken. I've tried different channels, static and DHCP, reloading the driver numerous times. Nothing I tried changed the pattern. There is also a PCMCIA Linksys WPC54G adapter in the laptop and this does not show any similar symptom. This adapter I disable when testing the Belkin. There is no other connection to the router, and I've never detected any other network in the vicinity. I've sent numerous emails to Belkin support, which they always reply to but never seem to read. Other than ignoring the condition, has anyone experienced this, or can anyone suggest a fix, or even a cause?

One of the responses from Belkin was to ensure it was set to manual in local services. In fact it was on automatic, but setting it to manual had no effect, nor did disabling it. In fact, their last response was to re-enable WZC, which I take to be their admission of failure, or disinterest. To be fair, though, they did respond quickly to each email, which is something. -- Allan Anderson http://www.aganderson.me.uk Researching - KAYLL (IOM, anywhere) GLANVILL/E (Liverpool, Berkshire) ANDERSON (Kirkcudbrightshire, Dumfries) DOBIE, BEGG, GIBSON, MARTIN (Kirkcudbrightshire) {Please reply to newsgroup.

I'm still using the Belkin because it allows profiles, although it does seem to lose them easily. I will look for a generic one - I didn't know they existed, assuming each was proprietary to match the adapter. Thanks. -- Allan Anderson {Please reply to newsgroup.

Thanks. searching and basic info Netstumbler at http://www.netstumbler.com/ (free) Winc at http://www.cirond.com/ (free for evaluation for 30 days, $30 to register) I have had this problem for a few weeks and i have spent most of the
day to belkin, who suggested the following to no avail (might as well post info) connection type pppoa idle time 0 MTU 1400 try wireless channels 1,6, or 9 downlaod latest drivers from belkin http://search.belkin.com/cgi-bin/MsmGo.exe?grab_id=162&EXTRA_ARG=&CFGNAME=MssFind%2Ecfg&host_id=42&page_id=1511424&query=f5d7050%2A&hiword=f5d7050%2A+ they then suggested removing all belkin software and re-installing - i dont think so something made me put my desktop on wired connection (both desktop and laptop were wireless) and hey bingo my laptop connected constantly tried to connect wirelessly on desktop and it did the same as my laptop looked at ip addresses using ipconfig from a c: prompt and it showed nothing for wireless connection reset router and bingo! hence i am emailing this from my laptop with F5D7050 and my desktop is online too so it is an ip allocation problem i think set all machines so they are trying to connect to router and reset your router makes me wonder if stating IP addresses would help rather than router assigning them (although this connected the machines it failed to let me access the internet, but i wasnt trying to hard to set it up) desktop now has ip of 192.168.2.3 (and 192.168.2.3 on hard wired when i use it) laptop has ip of 192.168.2.2 hope this helps, now how infuriating it is to not find any answers best to posr replies here, i dont use the email address in this post often Andy "if people don't understand you then shout louder at them, if they still don't understand curse under your breathe - they will hear you then!" ----------------------------------------- Show quoteHide quote "Peter Pan" <Marcs1102NOSPAM@HotmailNOSPAM.com> wrote in message news:<37bichF5adtkmU1@individual.net>... > Allan Anderson wrote: > > "Peter Pan" <Marcs1102NOSPAM@HotmailNOSPAM.com> wrote in message > > news:37a88qF5a804gU1@individual.net... > >> Allan Anderson wrote: > >>>> Allan Anderson wrote: > >>>> > >>>>> In my XPSP2 laptop, I have a Belkin F5D7070 USB wireless dongle > >>>>> adapter connecting to a Linksys WAG54G a few feet away.

It was just the Belkin monitor giving a false disconnection indication, which Belkin and I are ignoring. Thanks Allan
