USB 3Com Wireless adapter loses connection after shutdown!

Jan 3rd, 2005

EVERY TIME. Without fail, the wireless network finds the access point, but can't connect. Removing the wireless adapter and re-installing drivers etc works, and then there is no problem until a reset. I tried to disable the usb power saving feature but the device never remembers the settings I change. The computer is Windows XP SP2. The network is a win 2003 adv server network with no data security... other laptops work fine so I assumed perhaps the USB was at fault? Firewalls for windows and nortons have been turned off, the first thing I did

Mystified, lith0s,..

Makes and models of the networking gear please, as well the specific drivers in use for the USB wifi device.
