I can't figure this one out! I have the following setup...

- Desktop PC w/multiboot running XP w/Linksys USB Wireless-B adapter
- Laptop PC running XP w/Linksys WP11-B wireless PC card.
- Linksys BEFW11S4-B wireless router. WEP enabled.

I have configured the system to access the Internet through Dial-up (Yes I know...I live in a really, really rural area...unable to get DSL or cable...amazing I have a phone line at all.)

In any case, I can connect through the network, but after a few minutes, both machines kick the network off. I've tried different channels and all sorts of settings, but still the same result.

However, because my Desktop is multiboot, I reboot into Win ME and the network is stable...matter of fact it locks right in! Just the laptop boots itself off the network. What gives?

Can anyone help??
