XP dual boot with xandros lost internet connection!
 
I have XP and xandros on my pc configured for dual boot. I use a linksys wusb11 version 2.1 wireless adapter that works great on xp OR xandros but not for both useing dual boot!

Example: I had Xp by itself on my pc, everythings fine, card works great. Then I install xandros, I go to control center>network>network connection>interface and tell xandros the name of my router And BAM, Im surfing the web! But then when I log off and boot back up to XP, My connection is gone and so far I cant get it back! Same thing when I went back to xandros, No more connection! I tryed pinging the router and NOTHING!

Can someone tell me whats going on and how to correct it?:confused:

Are you sure that you have the resolv.conf right? If so, then are you sure that in the Network settings, you have the hostname set?

Well Im a newbie to linux, so I dont know what you are refering to when you mention "resolv.conf". AS for "Hostname" as far as I could see, the configuration is correct. Id like to paste it here but im not sure how. The only thing I ever had to do to connect to internet useing Xandros was entering "Linksys" as interface, typing my network name and WEP key. Like I said, It works great except when I logg off. Then I lose it on both systems. and the only way I know how to re-establish connection is by reinstalling xp as only os. which is what I did the other day. Again it worked great. But I want to use Xandros, so I reinstalled as dual boot again, and AGAIN, it worked great until I logged off and went back to XP to check and once again GONE!
