I have been having some problems in XP Corp with the internet.
I am unsure of what is causing this to happen, but my guess is that it's the firmware on my Linksys router. I updated it and at first I did not notice any problems. But later my dad told me that while playing Backgammon in XP that he kept getting a connection lost message.
I took it to be my http server at first. I did start to notice after my dads backgammon problem that download kept freezing before they were done, and that web pages loaded very slow.
I did a system restore to an earlier time when my pc ran fine, but it did not help. After that I did a format and reinstalled XP. That did not help so I installed SP1 and it was still not working. Download are still failing.
Lucky for me I have two other D-Link routers but I can't get them to work for the love of me. My linksys runs through 192.168.1.1 , and I think my D-Links run through 192.168.0.1 if I am not mistaken ?
Though when I plug in my D-Links ( I tried them both , one after the other ) I cant get them to work. The orange light on both of them just keeps blinking and I cant access them through windows.
I had this same problem a year ago but I somehow fixed it. Don't remember how I did it though.
What I am really after here is why XP might be messing up the internet, or why my router might be doing it. And secondly, any tips on how to install a D-Link 4 port router. It's killing me :-/
