upgrade the firmware on the router. On 1/25/06, Ernie Schroder [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: My son has a toshiba laptop running XP. When ever he plugs in his network cable, The router linksys goes down.

You can restart the network on XP by right clicking the network connection and clicking repair I believe.

Hmm might work. ipconfig /release and then ipconfig /renew still seem to need a reboot, though ipconfig will show a valid IP#. I used to know winders pretty good. Of course that was 7 years ago.

Re: Re: [gentoo-user] OT: XP laptop crashes Linsys router.
Isn't windows fun G. Someone has a sense of humor. In my new assignment I am now the Administrator for Windows servers and SQL Servers! I asked it that was because a) no one else wanted windows (we're AIX/Linux/Netware) and b) I was low man on the totem pole. The answer was jokingly yes - plus I've worked with Windows before (guess my resume had to much info on it!). Well I do get to run Linux here and at home.
