If you see this message elsewhere it's because ive posted it in hope ill get some quick responses. I would be so grateful if it gets fixedI need help, i've been dealing with this problem for a week now, and it just keeps getting bigger. Sorry for the whole load of detail but i've included everything, may have some relevance.The issue initially was that my connection would keep disconnecting on my vista enabled laptop through wireless. The logo would show that it was connected and everything would seem fine, but all connections would disconnect; eg msn, firefox etc. This problem initially started a week ago, where when the internet would "disconnect" from my laptop the wireless connection would also show that it was disconnected. I installed a firmware update for my router...this stopped it from disconnecting the wireless network, but this increased the problem of frequent disconnections on msn, internet explorer etc. I thought it was the router, contacted the makers and they were willing to replace it. But I didnt have the patience or the time to wait two weeks and be without a wireless connection. So I went out and purchased and N1 router. The same problem occured, so I returned that particular router and started to reuse my G router. I then updated the drivers for my wireless adapter on my laptop. This resulted in me getting a low or no connection everytime i tried to connect to wireless network. Even though everything seemed fine, and all the wires were in the correct place and what not. And that is where i am stuck, i have read about this problem but i'm not computer literate and I do not understand anything slightly regarding the fix or possible fix for the issue. My set up is as follows;Xp enabled desktop is connected to the router which is connected to my cable modem.Vista enabled laptop uses the wireless connection.What i did was swapped the two around, connected the ethernet cable from the router to the laptop...and used my wireless card on the desktop to pick up the wireless network. And it works. So it's something to do with vista and I have no idea what it is. I've been trying for the last 6 hours to come up with a fix. Currently i've set up the ethernet into the laptop and im using the wireless card on the desktop. This way I can be next to the router. Any help whatsoever would be greatly appreciated. I am totally computer iliterate, so please bare with me.Thanks

Just a quick update i managed to fix the connection issues, i rolled back the driver update on the wireless adapter. But i still suffer frequent disconnections, every 5 or so minutes, they dont disconnect the wireless network. Just disconnect me from msn or the web page im browsing wont load or whatever. this lasts for 10 seconds and it picks up automatically.

anyone knows how to set the settings on to the vista laptop manually...?

Hi, This issue can occur if the network device is not fully compatible with Windows Vista. If it is possible, I suggest replacing this wireless adapter with a fully compatible one and check the result. In addition, here are some general steps you could try to troubleshoot the issue: 1. Temporarily disable the TCP autotuning feature:a. Click Start, and type cmd in the Start Search box.b. Right-click the cmd icon, and select Run as Administrator.c. In the Command Prompt, type the following command:netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabledd. After that, please check the result.Note: Please re-enable Auto Tuning by typing the following command if the above steps cannot fix the issue:netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal 2.
