    I am trying to connect to my office's wireless network with my new Lenovo Thinkpad T61. The wireless card is an Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG. My wireless router is a D-Link AirPlus Xtreme G, Dl-624S. I am not using a static IP address (I am obtaining the IP address automatically).

    Obviously, all my office computers are able to consistently connect to the network. What is strange is that my laptop connects on and off. And not for long periods of time--on for 3 minutes, off for 2, on for 4 seconds, off for four seconds, etc. When it is connected, it runs as fast as the office computers that remain consistently connected.

    Restarting my computer and/or the router have no affect.

    Let me know if there is any other info I can offer. Thanks in advance for any help.
