The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Linksys wireless internet connection consistently dropped every 10-11 minutes

Asked by awaresoft in 802.11x

Network Gurus!

My laptop's (XP Pro) wireless connection to internet consistently gets dropped every 10-11 minutes.

Background ...

- I have a Linksys 4 port DSL router and access point (802.10b)
- This router is upgraded to the lastest firmware
- I have temporarily reset router to factory defaults (no security, channel 6, etc)
- My directly connected (wired) workstations connect fine
- My laptop (XP Pro) with a wireless connection CONSISTENTLY disconnects every 10-11 minutes
- The laptop network connection is set to all default options
- My laptop is 8 feet away from the access point
- My signal strength is excellent and speed is reported at 11mbps
- My laptop has no problems connecting to wireless networks (802.10b) at customer sites

My debugging diary ...

When I lose my connection (internet connection drops), my network connection dialogs still report a full strength/full speed connection.

I lose my connection every 10-11 minutes consistently (this is a definite pattern)

I have found that I can reconnect to the router by disabling and re-enabling my wireless connection. Sometimes I have to toggle multiple times to re-connect. When I toggle (disable/enable) the wireless connection my laptop quickly auto-discovers the wireless network and attempts to connect.

I can also reconnect by re-powering the router.

My wireless connection uses DHCP. I've also tried using a static IP. The DHCP method appears more reliable.

What the event log says ...

I've received the following messages in my system event log - one of these events usually corresponds with the loss of a specific connection. By usually I mean that these events occur within same minute in event log. Coincidence?

"The IP address lease 192.168.1.100 for the Network Card with network address 000BCD759B6B has been denied by the DHCP server"

"192.168.1.1 (The DHCP Server sent a DHCPNACK message)" (only 2-3 times)

"The browser has forced an election on network
\Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{3CC40E66-75E4-42BB-A6B0-804C4962CB4E} because a master
browser was stopped." (I normally receive this type of message on a 12
minute interval, but at times I've received 4 of these messages in a row -
2 minutes a part)
