Hi,
I hope someone here has something more to support my theory about a problem on a customer PC. I think I know what's happening but the cause is elusive.
This problem has occurred twice over a period of two months.
Scenario:
MEDION XP PC with built-in WLAN adapter linked to a TCOM DSL Modem/WLAN combination. Signal is 30%+, quality 90%.
Normal operation never fails.
The customer most house power twice and after each restore of power he could not get into Internet. The WLAN tool shows the link to the DSL HW is active. All DSL Modem LEDs are green.
Each time this failed I brought my laptop to his house and linked my WLAN adapter to his WLAN. Immediately my IE opened the Internet. I clicked refresh on his IE and it also opened Internet. Thereafter, all was OK. He can shutdown and reboot and the IE works.
That may sound crazy but last night he called me with the same problem and all I needed to do was link my laptop onto his WLAN, start IE and then his IE started working. No, I do not use drugs. He does not either. Telekom is telling me it's an option in his ISP SW.
It looks to me that his HW is not in SYNC or something with getting a valid IP is going south. Status of the network link during the failure does not show anything missing or in error.
Any thoughts on this appreciated.
