I found out that, when you disable wireless and network Windows will boot - it boots even if I disable the ethernet alone, but the wireless card does not get recognized in Windows.
The solution that I've come up so far is that I totally disable network (ethernet) and reinstall drivers for the wireless (first uninstall old ones, then disable wireless and install drivers again, and finally enable only wireless).
Your problem sounds similar to this, so try this out - maybe it'll solve the problem, but you are left without the ethernet.

If not, try it out - you have a wireless network test and it will probably tell you what's wrong.
Next, try booting into safe mode with networking enabled - see if there's the same problem while in safe mode with wireless.
Post when you finish...
I 'spect not . . . I'm running a Logitech VX Revolution and a V450 on my T42s with no such issues--both on the same 2.4 GHz band as my wireless g. This is a long shot, and I don't know how to check it, but could there be an IRQ conflict? There's a bit of info re. IRQs here. Again, that's just a shot in the dark . . .jimmy274 wrote:you might be using a wireless mouse running on the same frequency like the wireless (2.4GHz)...

First of all, this doesn't mean anything. I too have the V400 Logitech and it's running flawlessly since I bought it - I never needed to restart it. The situation with wireless, however, differs from a location to location. I have a friend that lives 3 blocks away with the same configuration and his mouse is hogging his wireless to the point he cannot use it. You need much better arguments than - "it works for me" - you need to include what wireless networks are there in your area, what country you live in (wireless varies from country to country for full 100 or 200 MHz, if I'm not mistaken), etc etc.Paul Unger wrote:I 'spect not . . .

Sorry for my sloppy argument . . . Wireless networks in the area (that I can 'see'): mostly 'g', channel 6 (2437 MHz) and 11 (2462 MHz); I'm on 'g', channel 1 (2412 MHz) with a Linksys wrt-54gs (v4) running dd-wrt (v23 SP2). I'm currently in Canada. And yes, "it works for me". I'd be interested to know how a wireless mouse slelects a channel in the 2.4 GHz band--any ideas? Maybe if the OP picked a different wireless channel on his router, that would eliminate the interference? Just a suggestion . . .jimmy274 wrote:You need much better arguments than - "it works for me" - you need to include what wireless networks are there in your area, what country you live in (wireless varies from country to country for full 100 or 200 MHz, if I'm not mistaken), etc etc.
Judging for what I've seen so far, this could be it.

Up until now, I thought you're using the ultranav/trackpoint combination, but I just remembered you might be using a wireless mouse running on the same frequency like the wireless (2.4GHz)... If so, that is the problem, no doubt about it.
