I hope you get that figured out, I need to see you posting!!
Is she running a mac as well?

**Belinda** · 01-10-2007, 04:22 PM

Yes she has a mac but it is plugged directly in to the internet. This issue is only happening with the wireless it seems.

Belkin router?

**Spunky** · 01-10-2007, 04:24 PM

Do you have a firewall or Norton security?

Not that I know of.

Farallon makes good Mac routers.

Router set-up takes patience - using the manual doesn't hurt either.

If all else fails, have the router company tech support walk you through it. Generally it's just a settings issue.

Good luck,

OK bought an airport extreme and it seems to be doing ok so far... now just gotta get the one pc in the house to share the printer wirelessly.

Linksys routers are prone to exactly that type of failure. Had more than one do the exact same thing.

**jonesy** · 01-10-2007, 08:07 PM

linksys should have a tech support # you can call

theyll prob help you out - most router comp have this now

**NemesiS876** · 01-10-2007, 08:09 PM

sorry I can't help you

**WiredGuy** · 01-10-2007, 08:16 PM

Is there a NIC you connect directly to through a cable on the router? If so, try that and see if you get booted or not. I'm curious to see if this is a wireless issue or a router issue.

yep they are known for that. belkin is pure crapola unfortunately.

try adding a "$" before your WEP/WPA key, on some routers (especially older Linksys i should add) this is a requirement on OSX for some reason, try it and see if it addresses the issue..

Hey.

Linksys always had this problem, a mac directly connected and a pc directly connected and/or wireless, will kick off the pc, don't ask me why, but I have seen that thing in a lot of forums and FAQs

**pornguy** · 01-10-2007, 09:06 PM

Been having that with my linksys, and plan to move up to something better soon.

If the problem comes back...

Take an old PC and make it a NAT/Router

Then... you can toss that freakin router and use a switch

A PC Configured as a NAT/Router is FAR More reliable then a stand alone router.

I never... Never have problems I hear my friends talk about with their stand alone routers.

Heres how it works:
1 Internet Connection -into- PC NAT/Router
2 PC NAT/Router -to- NetGear Switch
3 NetGear Switch -to- all other Machines/computers - its plug and play at that point

Nice looking set-up

**Belinda** · 01-10-2007, 09:42 PM

so far I think the issue is fixed. I think the wireless router was just old and not very compatible with my macs. Should be good to go.
