Hardware Error during Ping
I just loaded XP on my laptop and I've been having issues with my wireless connection. Everything works fine but after I wake the laptop from sleep mode I try to ping and I keep getting a hardware error. After I restart the laptop everything works fine again until it goes into sleep mode again. I've tried looking for other similar problems on google but haven't found anything yet. Just wanted to see if anyone else has run into the same problems or had any suggestions as this is getting very annoying. Thanks!

edit: meh, just saw its a wireless card...prolly not this issue then -

It's a gateway laptop and I'm just getting a hardware error when pinging my gateway after waking my laptop. When I ping with the loop back address it's fine so I know there is no issue with the wireless card/NIC as far as it being bad. I think it might be some driver compatibility issue...In Progress: Currently enrolled in WGU: Studying for Net+

What happens if you try reassociating with the AP? Does it work then?When I ping with the loop back address it's fine so I know there is no issue with the wireless card/NIC as far as it being bad.I think it might be some driver compatibility issue...
