Hi All,
A little bit of background info:
My room in my house sits directly above a linksys wireless B access point
downstairs. I have had a laptop w/WinXp home with a built-in wireless chip
for a while and have had absolutely no problems in this exact location.
The matter at hand:
Now with my new desktop w/WinXP Pro Sp2 that I built, I installed a linksys
wireless G (b compatible) PCI card and noticed that in games such as BF2,
every so often, I'd get the "Warning, Connection Problems" message and it
would screw everything up. I wanted to see if maybe it was a problem with the
application and not my computer, so I opened up a command prompt and did a
constant ping ("ping -t") to my access point and every 30 or so replies (it
varies but it's not unfrequent by any means) the time on a single reply jumps
to 1200+ milliseconds or even (more rarely) times out. ALL other replies are
1ms or less. I have windows firewall disabled and have no antivirus programs
running. I don't have this problem on my laptop in the same place in my
house, maybe there is a windows setting. I'd really like to get this fixed!
Does anyone have any idea what could be the matter?
Thanks so much, this really bothers me.
