Hi all, I really need your help. COMP A is a desktop computer, and has a Netgear WG311V2 Wireless PCI Card, while COMP B is a laptop with a Netgear WG511V2 Wireless Card. COMP A shares internet with COMP B. I have them both wirelessly connected via ad-hoc. Here is my problem. If I boot up COMP A, then boot up COMP B right after COMP A is booted, I can get on my network. However, if I boot up COMP A, then after 2 hours or more, boot up COMP B, the computers don't see each other, and won't allow me to connect unless I reboot COMP A. It's almost like COMP A is on a timer or something, and after 2 hours, cuts the wireless PCI card off. I assumed it was the Power Saving feature, but I have that turned off in both computers. All firewalls are turned off, and I have no security----we live off the road some anyway. How can I connect the two computers after 2 hours without restarting COMP A? Thanks!

do you have mapped drives between the two or are you just browsing? there is a ms patch for xp dropping nw connections/shares after a while also so run windows updates

Ok, we'll try that.
