PLEASE HELP FOR ROUTER...
I just installed a linksys router on one computer using Windows Xp. I am
running ethernet cable to my other computer running Windows ME. If the cable is connected the the ME computer and I start it up, Explorer freezes. I have to CTL, ALT, DLT to end Explorer. I can then use it again for a few more seconds until it freezes. If I start the computer w/out the cable connection, it starts and runs fine. I can put plug the cable in and connect to the internet but each time I click to a new pages, it freezes again and I have to go through the whole process. It does not close down the internet window I am using but it allows me the nxt page and freezes again! Argh! What the heck is happening??? Please if anyone can help, let me know! |

I would suspect malware on the ME machine - or you're getting a conflict
with the XP machine because of static IP's check the ME machine for malware first... download the Stinger from here and run it to make sure that A-V-disabling viruses are not present on your PC http://us.mcafee.com/virusInfo/default.asp?id=stinger - update your virus scanner and run a full system scan of all files. Reboot to Safe Mode and run CWShredder - to remove variants of the CoolWebSearch hijacker. http://www.merijn.org/cwschronicles.html Use CWShredder, the removal tool: http://www.trendmicro.com/cwshredder/ download AdAware SE Personal Edition from www.lavasoftusa.com, install, update, and run it to remove spyware, adware, and other such nasties from your system. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2006, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.crashfixpc.com/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Me" wrote in message ...

Thank you for your help and suggestions. I tried every single one (took me
forever BTW, with all the stop/start/stop/start) and NOTHING has helped. If the cable is plugged into the computer it freezes. Without it, it's fine. Any OTHER ideas?

If you managed that lot in les than 45 minutes you have either an incredibly
fast machine - or a very small one! Check your HOSTS file - in C:\Windows (it may be a hidden file - no extension). How big is it?? overlarge HOSTS files can cause this sort of problem in Win9x systems. Check your Temporary Internet Files folder - what is the maximum size set at in Internet Properties? - I would suggest no more than 40 MB. - Delete the contents (together with offline content) using the option there. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2006, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.crashfixpc.com/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Me" wrote in message ...

There could be a problem with the driver program for the network adapter on ME. Go to Device Manager and un-install the network adapter. Then reboot and let ME re-install it. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.
