I just moved and got cable Internet again and went with wireless networking cards. I was playing online and noticed about every minute that the connection would go bad for a couple seconds. I am assuming this is from the wireless card rescanning for networks every minute. Is their a way to turn that off, or could it be something else?

Thank you ,
Brad

You are much better off going back to wired.


I'd guess any number of other radio signals causing this.

"Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, antivirus, anti-spyware, Live CD's, backups, are in my top 10

I found that if I disable XP's "Wireless Zero Configuration" it fixes it. I can't run lines to all the locations I want but I may run 1 for my main computer.

Thanks,
Brad
