just saw this thread.. so bear with me if the questions are already answered... are you using dhcp on the router/laptops? are you using static ip addresses? what does the /var/log/messages say, if anything? -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Frank Cox Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2008 10:31 AM To: Community assistance, encouragement, and advice for using Fedora.

It's a "Belkin Wireless G" The interesting thing here is that I can copy the exact same file (and larger ones too) from my desktop computer to my other laptop (a "no-name" Intel) on the same wireless router with no problem. I also discovered that if the Acer and my other laptop are both online wirelessly at the same time and I send a large file to the Acer from my desktop computer so it locks up the router's wireless capability, the other laptop's wireless connection also locks up and won't re-connect even after I reset the router. I also have to reboot the other laptop to get it back online, otherwise it just continuously asks me for my WPA2 password. So whatever it is that causes the lock-up, it doesn't just lock up the wireless part of the router. It also locks up the wireless part of the other Intel laptop. However I don't have to reboot the Acer to get it back online after the lockup. While the Acer is the cause of the lockup for the other units, The Acer's wireless connection doesn't seem to lock up like the router and the Intel laptop do. After resetting the route the Acer will say that the connection was lost, then reconnect to the wireless router automatically. -- 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 -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
