Are you using Windows to manager your wireless connection?

If so, under your wireless settings, advanced, there is a check box for "connect to non-preferred networks" is that checked?

Is the profile/SSID on the laptop the EXACT same as the SSID in the router configuration page?

Did you follow the instuctions on how to install drivers etc?

Yes, followed all the instuctions..

Tried to reinstall about 20 times, Even went and got the drivers from linksys site..

Two times while i was reinstalling i was able to connect for a few sec's then it would lose the connection..

I think its the laptop(windows xp) is haveing the problem not the router, But what the hell do i know!!

This is driving me nuts:mad:

Hello,

I am experiencing the exact issue. Please let me know if you get any additional information. My info is listed.

MACHINE: Compaq Evo N1020V
MEMORY: 1 Gb
OS: Windows XP Pro with SP2

NOTES: I had previously used a DLINK card and uninstalled it. I then installed the new card and the Device Manager indicated that the card is working
properly. However, when I try to refresh my network list, I get a reccuring error "External Exception E06D7363", I tried calling Linksys and they simply said that the card was working and that it was an OS (unreleated) issue.

Once, I briefly saw the available networks but when I tried I tried to connect to one, I got the error again.

Thanks,


Thanks,

Lou

I'm getting the same error message. Linksys is absolutely NO help and told me to search the web for answers.

I have a friend who's an IT support. She said try removing the encryptions and putting up a firewall - even though the software says to remove it.

I'm going to try this and see if the problem gets resolved. If not I'm going to the Geek Squad.

All,

I have sort-of solved my version of the issue. There seems to be
some issues with the wireless mgmt software that is included with
the card. I am simply using windows to config my wireless settings. To
so this (OS: Windows XP Pro - SP2) I do the following.

1) Right click on the wireless icon in the system tray and select "View
Available Wireless Networks"

2) I then select the "Change the Order of Preferred Networks" option.

3) A dialog box is displayed, select the Wireless Network tab. Note, if the
Linksys wireless mgmt software is running, sometimes this tab does
not appear. You will need to stop the Linksys software first.

4) From the Wireless Tab select the "Use Windows to Configure My Wireless
Network Settings" check box. Save the changes and it should work.

A couple of notes.

- I am in no way a systems or network guru ---- this is just what worked for
my --- if anyone can elaborate, I welcome the input.

- I am having an issue stopping the Linksys software from auto-starting.
It is a bit of a pain to have to stop the software before inserting the card.

- The "Use windows to Configure Wireless Settings" option does not
seem to be persistent between sessions (i.e., I need to recheck it
everytime I insert my wireless card).

Hope this helps!!

I would back off of all the security (WEP) and just try to get the wireless notebook connected without anything interfering.

Just go into your router settings and set everything to off. Load the CD into your notebook and run it from scratch, without setting anything. If you don´t set any security up in the beginning, you should get a connection. Then you can fiddle with control of the net.

"Two times while i was reinstalling i was able to connect for a few sec's then it would lose the connection.. "

change the channel which the router is sending its signal on...
if applicable, then also change the adhoc channel in your wireless network card properties. but the most important is to change the sending channel on the router, the radio channel is probably being interfered... even though it may look as if you have a good reception it can be interfered..

another thing can also be that if your security settings on the router is WEP then the same thing can also happen, you enter password connect for a few but then nothing happens. best security so far is to only allow the known network cards (mac addresses) to the router...

OK I had the same problem. Reinstalled several times with no luck. I finally did this and it worked. I'm sorry I don't know exacty which steps fixed the problem.

Reconfigured LinkSys router for no encryption and no security.
Used the LinkSys uninstall program to uninstall the driver and utility.
Removed wireless lan card.
Disabled other hardwired LAN card.
Shut down machine and removed the battery.
Powered up.
Installed LinkSys driver and utility from the CD.
Powered down and removed battery.
Powered up.
Installed LinkSys wireless LAN card.
IT WORKED!!!

I think the problem was that a corrupted file was being held open and was not being uninstalled completely by the earlier uninstalls. It is also possible that the LAN card must not be in the machine while the drivers are being installed or before the machine has re-booted.
