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?

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!
