Re: got my box back
that first thread found out the same thing american zombie found out but they came up with the wrong solution
it's NOT the router it's the network card, that router has been around a long time and causes no issues with any other box, it can't be sending the computer confusing instructions
the computer's driver is not capable of handling the instructions from that router, this isn't a router issue
though I might replace the router, and there is supposedly a d-link flash that solves the problem, I'm gonna try to get hp to tell the manufacturer of the card to write a new driver, hp has some kind of nerve not knowing about this issue
the reason I don't want to flash the router as a band aid is that this laptop travels and what if I am getting a signal from another d-link router with the same problems?
hp needs to fix the computer, d-link doesn't need to fix the router, the router was here first and this computer is supposed to be compatable with that protocol
that second thread is claiming it's a conflict with the intel centrino, this laptop is amd's dual 64
that first thread is a year old, I am amazed hp doesn't know about the issue yetseems like you may have to splash the cash on a new router:
