Hi,

I have a adhoc wireless network setup in my home with windows vista in both ends. The problem is after I connect to adhoc using my laptop, in 10 to 15 min the Wifi light (the one near the power and mediadirect buttons) would turn off and wireless network disconnects. I think it maybe from the drivers... but I have all the latest drivers from Dell's website. If anybody had experienced this problem or has any solution please post... thanks

EDIT
I would like to add to that it disconnected while I was streaming video from the other computer...

Have you updated the firmware on your router to the latest version?

Can you post the wireless router make and model?

Can you also post the internal wireless card make and model?

hi Dell_6400_fan;

if u read at the beginning of the message that i am using an adhoc network which means there is no router, its peer-to-peer. and I have Intel PRO/Wirless 3945ABG in my system
