I am using a Dell Truemobile 1170 (access point) to create my wireless
network and two laptops with wireless built in (both HP's, one running xp
home and one running xp pro). I have my dsl connection going directly into
the access point and everything seems to work ok except that my wireless
connection keeps getting dropped. I can "view available wireless networks"
and re-connect to the network but it is a big hassle to constantly
reconnect. Is there some setting when I set up the network that would allow
my laptop to seek other networks or something to that nature??? Also the
access point says it has a built in firewall but should I consider that
enough protection? I have turned off the firewall built in to xp home so the
network is functional. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also if
anybody knows of a good website to help explain how all this stuff works it
would be greatly appreciated.
