    Hi guys. I've been noticing that every time I'm streaming something online, such as a baseball game, youtube/metacafe videos or anything else, the player (wmp) just stops streaming every few minutes and i see no downloading activity. Then suddenly everything is fine again. This keeps repeating itself.

    Its not my internet connection because when i attach my computer to a port on the router using an ethernet cable, there's no lag what so ever. Immediately, when I use the wireless again, the same thing happens (strength of signal is excellent). Is this a problem with the Intel 3945ABG Wireless network card? Thanks for any help.

    what router are you using? it may not be the 3945, but could be the settings in the router, not that I'm using the 3945, but with my 4965N and my d-link router, had to adjust the settings in the router from auto to 20MHz only, for that same issue, but with N.
