I think I've discovered a pattern here. The problem appears to be caused by what can best be described as going too fast. If I get a wireless connection going with my Acer Aspire One I can use it for what appears to be an indefinite period of time as long as I'm doing lower-speed stuff. Log into it with SSH, use VNC, browse the net, run "yum install" and so on. All appears to be well. However, as soon as I try to copy a large file locally over the network, the wireless connection locks up. For example, this command to copy a file from this desktop computer to the Acer: scp MyFonts-1.0-1.noarch.rpm acer:/home/frankcox Got this far and stalled: WindowsVistaFonts-1.0-1.noarch.rpm 56% 3088KB 361.5KB/s - stalled - The only way to get the connection back is to go to the router's configuration page and "reset router". I'm sure that I've copied large files over the wireless connection to my other laptop before (I don't see why I wouldn't have) and I've never seen this lockup problem before. I've tried this twice and had the same thing happen both times. And when I lost my connection earlier today it was when attempting to copy a large file as well. So... do I need to slow something down somewhere? Has anyone ever heard of this type of an overrun on a wireless connection? (I can do local copying of large files via the wired ethernet connection on the Acer just fine.) I'm just about out of time to play with this for the moment but later tonight I'll copy another large file and I'll see if my other laptop still connects wirelessly after the connection to the Acer locks up. It still connected earlier this afternoon but that was after the Acer connection had been locked up for a while. It's obviously not locking up the whole router because I can still log into the router's configuration page to reset it. But again, it won't let me reconnect to the router with the Acer until I reset the router. Otherwise it just keeps asking me for the WPA2 password. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com DRY CLEANER BUSINESS FOR SALE ~ http://www.canadadrycleanerforsale.com -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
