Hi

We have a a wirless modem at home and my other half computer works on it perfect. Any room, any time its fine. My computer is hit and miss and more recently miss. I can hardly ever get on and then the signal goes. We are both listed on the the settings but mine just wont work. I did think i couldnt stand it any more so invested in a Advant 4211 notebook and thought that might help when the other one crashed...thinking its was my laptop on the blink and now i have the problem with my second laptop. The common thread seems to be both my laptops are xp....Any suggestions??

Thanks!!

I had that with a ralink wireless card which I solved by inputting the fixed ip address (for the computer) from the router instead of letting it automatically find one.
