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??

Apparently XP has the capability of configuring wireless networks on its own ( Wireless Zero Configuration feature). This can sometimes lead to conflicts with the drivers that are installed from the manufacturers of the wireless devices. Therefore, try disabling the Windows auto wireless connection: Double click the Wireless Network Connection icon in the Network Connections window – Select Properties – in the Wireless Properties dialog box, click “Wireless Networks – uncheck Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings and click OK. You may have to re-install the manufactures drivers. LL
