  1. i'd hate to say it but you may be just stuck with a wireless card that is not compatible with your router, if it works fine else where and other machines at home work fine on your router, then until new wireless drivers or a new firmware update comes out for the router you are out of luck. sorry not to be able to help more

    That's what I was afraid of. Figured I would give it a shot anyways.

    Thanks for the help.

  2. What mode are your trying to connect as? (b or g) if you force it too a single mode (either b or g) will it stay connect for longer, do you have any other machines that are connecting to this wireless? if you try to connect to other wireless access points with x60 does it connect fine? :) lets see if we can't narrow down where the issue is.

    I'm trying to connect as n (not b or g). When I get home tonight I will try forcing n only. Although that will break the one other computer that uses it.

    I have one other machine that connects to the wireless. I have tried disabling it to no avail.

    I haven't had any problems with wireless on other networks.

    try it both ways as well, force your router to only b or g and force the wireless card to only do B or G as well, then try forcing N for both.

    I'm shocked. This router does not allow me to force a certain wireless mode.

    I've uploaded a screenshot to remove any doubt.

    edit: I've also tried enabling the so-called "Protected Mode" in the router without any luck.

  4. People just complain - it's what people do. People said the same types of things about XP at RTM (and even SP1) - it was slow, bloated, ugly, didn't run older apps right, etc.

    Now it's the greatest thing since sliced bread :) .

    I have no doubt that the same thing will happen whenever Windows 7 is released.

    Although, people do seem to be getting over it now that vista SP1 fixed the majority of the issues.

  5. Or have never looked into what caused said problems, and just blamed it on Vista.

    Totally. But then again, they've always done that. Again, someone today calling XP a "dreadful OS" because the upgrade from Win ME didn't work out so great...

    The same as people have driver problems causing BSODs -- no way they'd blame the hardware makers, they go on about how windows sucks. It's all MS' fault!

    MS should consider changing the BSOD so that it clearly states what caused the BSOD in huge letters at the top.

    This BSOD brought to you by: <Insert Hardware Manufacturer Here>.

    Then Nothing else on the screen.

  6. auto tuning should be disabled to test see if it is causing problems

    That didn't work. I took a screenshot of what it looks like in wireshark. You can seen that about 50 seconds after the computer receives the ARP requests it replies to all of them simultaneously.

    coudl you attach the screen shot so we can see what you is coming across the wire? also have you updated the firmware for the belkin router? are you allowing windows to manage the wireless connection or is it the wireless software from Lenovo?

    I added the screenshots to my previous post. If necessary I can post an entire wireshark log.

    The Belkin router is also running the latest version of the firmware.

    I'm allowing windows to manage the wireless connection.

  8. I suggest you to open the Local Area Connection and disable the IPV6 Intelnet protocol :rolleyes:

    Alright, I'll try that when I get home.

    FYI: IPV6 stands for Internet Protocol Version 6 so Internet Protocol is implied when using IPV6

    That didn't work. Which kind of makes sense. If it was a problem with the IPV6 stack I have seen the problem across all networks wired and wireless.

    Any other ideas?

  9. Disable the Superfetch service.

    Disable only if you use your computer for gaming but you should experience yourself.

    I would leave superfetch enabled. Yes, when you first turn your computer on it is going to be loading stuff for a couple minutes, but remember that it makes programs launch faster and the superfetch process runs at the lowest possible priority (ie everything else takes priority).

  10. I have a lenovo x60 with the Atheros wireless card running the latest driver version and Vista SP1. When I connect to my Belkin wireless network it only works for two minutes.

    I have ruled out signal problems and interference. The laptop does not lose it's IP address during the connectivity loss. This problem does not happen on every wireless network I connect to.

    So, after I started seeing these problems I monitored the network traffic with wireshark. Right before the connection stops working I see alot of "TCP Dup" and "TCP Retransmission"; Then there is a constant stream of ARP packets from the router looking for the laptop and the laptop looking for the router. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The network connection will come of intermittently every 10 minutes for about a minute.

  11. Recently on my Vista Business x64 machine the sleep button on the start menu stopped working correctly. Whenever I hit the button it will lock the computer instead of sleeping (I'm not hitting the lock button!). I have checked the power settings and it says that the button is set to sleep and not to lock or log off the computer. If anyone has some ideas I can try out I would be grateful.

  12. Well, its been weeks now and I knida solved it.

    Basically I can install Vista Ultimate perfectly with SP1 slipstreamed. Another option is to install Business with less then 2GB Ram, install patches, more Ram in, install servicepack and upgrade to Ultimate with slipstreamed SP1 DVD.

    For weeks now I am trying to get Ultimate installed in a different way .. its just a no no ...

    So WHY Ultimate ends up having a bluescreen every boot ? I don't kow ... Why does SP1 fixes it ? I don't know (cannot even find a related patch inside the SP1 which mentions this behaviour).

    All I can do now is waiting for SP1 included DVDs on the marked to buy and then I can make a clean installation ...

    I can't say which patch it is specifically. But since SP1 does fix it I would try slipstreaming all of the updates that have been released so far to your install dvd. Here's a link to a website that has an update pack for vista x64 and x86. http://www.ryanvm.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5698

    Let me know if this works out for you. One of the updates in that pack should fix the 2GB problem.

    If that doesn't work I would wait for SP1 final to be released since it seems to fix the problem.

  13. Ummm, I think you can install updates from .cab files in Vista. See my post here regarding installing DreamScene from cab file:

    http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?s=&amp...st&p=642191

    I read through your posts and I can only find ones regarding using a .cab update to integrate the update and not to install it. Do you have a link to a specific post with how to install a .cab on an already running version of windows?

  14. Vista does not use a progress bar when going into hibernation. A black screen is 100% normal. A change request for this was entered during the Vista Beta, but Microsoft wasn't interested in putting the progress bar back in.

    First time I hear this...

    You said that while the screen was black, the HDD light was on? Can you try leaving the computer alone for a while to see if it actually does hibernate? As far as I can tell, it's working properly, but you interupt it before it can finish hibernating.

    The Hibernate does finish this is totally about the progress bar...

    As far as I know there isn't an option for a hibernation progress bar. Every computer I have vista on doesn't have the progress bar when hibernating.

  15. well i have not seen any problems with vista because of an update

    It seems to be a very very selective problem. Many of the forum articles I read listed people with multiple machines, some worked others did not. The effects on the machines that did have problems also varied. Some would not boot, others would boot and re-boot over and over, and finally others were like mine, just locking up randomly.

    Did any of the reports you see mention any specific hardware? It might be possible to work around the bug by disabling something.

  16. After three weeks of pulling my hair out because VISTA sucks and locks up or reboots randomly I ran across an article about the ANI patch being junk. So I uninstalled KB925902. Now my Vista is peaceful. It has run for two days without any problems. Now the rub.... KB925902 is a "Critical" update so if I leave window update in the automatic mode it will get installed, if I put it in the manual mode, I have to be very careful to de-select this specific update.

    So anyone out there have a way to block a specific update? Is there an "under the covers" look at how to control or manipulate Windows Update?

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    You should be able to put it in manual mode and then right click on the update you don't want and select "Hide Update."

    P.S. KB925902 is not the ANI patch it is a GDI vulnerability fix. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/KB925902

    what version of vista ?

    I don't think his question is related to which version of vista is installed as they all have the same exact updates. Excluding the separate x86/64 updates.
