Can anyone shed some light on this problem? Thanks!
My setup is like this: wireless notebook (Sony VAIO)
running XP and base computer running Windows '98.
Firewall enabled on wireless config. Even when the
notebook with wireless adapter is physically in the same
room as the router the connection continually drops every
10 minutes or less, causing me to have to re-connect ad
nauseum. The further away from the base, of course, the
weaker the signal. The XP computer also has an icon in
the tray that conveys 'Local Area Connection - a network
cable is unplugged'. I'm sure this is a configuration
issue, but I can't find the setting, or any Microsoft
white paper that addresses this issue.
