The sudden and inexplicable loss wireless (Wi-Fi) Internet

by lchrenow . Updated 19 years, 1 month ago

I have a problem with getting on the internet using wireless internet. The symptoms are the following a Wi-Fi-enabled computer running Windows XP is working fine one minute, pulling up Web pages and processing e-mail. Then, for no reason, the connection drops, websites fail to come up and the e-mail flow stops. The small wireless connection icon in the taskbar says the signal from the access point is strong, so the problem isn’t that the user wandered out of radio range. The icon even shows that the computer’s Wi-Fi hardware is sending information to the access point — it’s just not getting anything back. And manual attempts to re-establish the connection through XP’s built-in wireless configuration tool won’t do the trick. Even more bizarre, the connection sometimes comes back on its own. I tried following steps1. – Go to Control Panel.
2. – Choose Administrative Tools.
3. – Select Services. A two-pane window comes up.
4. – In the right-hand pane, scroll down and click Wireless Zero Configuration.
5. – Click Stop the Service. A progress bar may come up briefly.
6. – Click Start the Service. Again, a progress bar may come up.
7. – Close the Services window. At this point, Fleishman said, the connection should come back.

but it did not help
Can someone help me please?
