Hi all,
I am having trouble keeping my internet connection alive, it keeps dropping
out every couple of minutes unless I am downloading, it only seems to happen
with XP as I can boot into win98 and it stays alive for hours. I have looked
through all the XP configs I can find and realise it must be an idle
timeout, can anyone help please!!!
Cheers
Tony..

This is a known Windows XP issue.
Stop and disable your wireless zero configuration service.
Then use the tooling delivered with your card to configure your connection.

Hope this helps.
