wl110 pc card

Archived from groups: alt.internet.wireless (More info?)

I have a Compaq WL110 pcmcia wireless card. It seems to locate networks, but
it will not keep a connection. Does this sound like a hardware issue, or a
software one? My Dlink DWL-G650 connects to the network just fine, but when i
switch cards, the signal drops all the time. Also, the compaq card locates a
certian linksys network that my dlink one doesnt, does the dlink card have a
shorter range perhaps? any help would be appreciated.

This is a coincidence, I have the same issue, I have a wireless PCMCIA card
made by Sitecom it's a WL-120 (www.sitecom.com) and a USR2249 access point
this has always worked well all around the house and in the garden. I have
noticed very recently that my next door neighbour has also a wireless
network, I know its Linksys 54, I also know it's mac address.

I find I can't use my laptop downstairs anymore as the neighbours signal and
mine are approximately the same and its keeps dropping me from my wireless
network. I was trying see if I can find his IP address or even attached to
wireless LAN and use that.

I was wandering if there was a registry entry or something where by it will
ignore all other wireless networks and just connect me to mine.

It's a possibility that your card and mine are made by the same manufacturer
as the names are similar and we are having the same problem. As you have 2
cards, you have proven that there a certain problem with the WL110 or WL-120
and Linksys.

Thanks
