    Any known problems with twireless card. I have stayed in 3 different places now and the connection to the www is very intermittent. Everything indicates that it should be up and running but it jsut stops.

    After a reboot or two it usually comes back on. It is getting to incidental for the network to be at vault. Anyone knows anything about this?

    I don't think so. Which card is it? You might try to get updated drivers.

    Try letting the Broadcom utility manage the wireless. I haven't had a single disconnect since I stopped letting windows manage my connection.

    First PC = Vic-20, 8" 128KB Home-Brew Floppy Drive ... Current Rig = eMachines m6805 ... Quantum Leap?
