okay I am new to this wireless world- but i finally did and it hasn't been easy. Bought a linksys wrt54gs-got it installed on my desktop (dell XP-comcast). got a new dell laptop inspiron 1501. after hours and hours talking with linksys tech support we finally got the laptop to recognize the router (lots of steps and redoing steps-I wrote some down- but most over my head).
My issue is I have a connection on the laptop-but when i shut off the laptop and restart- it cannot establish or recognize the router-wireless connection. The check box where it says "use windows to configure wireless connection is unchecked again. So to re-establish I must go to start/run/service.msc -and go to wireless zero configuration-right click and click start. Then right click on wireless icon and wireless networks tab (which also keeps disappearing) and re-check the box-to tell windows to configure the connection. Anyone with more know how than me, know why this keeps happening? Is it a windows or a Dell issue? thanks
