ivtec Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 have vaio Sony A195 EP with xp1,and a westel 327w DSL, i updated to sp2 from windows updates and after i updated to sp2 my wireless started to fail,it seems to be the firewall or some security solftware fault from the updates,when i go to firewall settings and switch off and on it reconnects the wireless connection,and a few minutes later it fails again,with cable connection it works good, or with with the factory SP1,somebody knows how this can be possible, or what can i do to overcome this,i only need the SP2 because i run Slingmedia and Silverlite filles and it requires SP2,is there any other solfware i could use to run Sling media and Silverlite so i get rid of SP2,and run on SP1 only.thanks in advance.

homecomputeraid Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 You can disable the Windows firewall by going to Control Panel, Security Center, Windows Firewall, and clicking Off (not recommended) for testing purposes. Windows XP Service Pack 3 is out. I recommend you install all available updates. Do you have an antivirus program installed yet? AVG has a free download antivirus program if you need it.

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 XP SP1 is no longer supported, and almost all modern softwares need at least SP2.Much better than relying on old software you should diagnose your connection problem, resolve it, then upgrade to SP3.Is there any error in the Event Viewer for the time when the connection is failing?Do you have IE7 or IE8? If so, can you try to run the 'Diagnose' procedure after the connection has failed (button on the IE display area).P.S. see this article for more connection troubleshooting: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956196 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homecomputeraid Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 I strongly recommend you get it working with all updates installed, and install antivirus if it is not running. If you've been connected to the Internet with only SP1 installed, your computer most likely has viruses or malware that should be removed.
