    Hey guys,

    OK, yesterday i got to a point where i was sick of the slowness of my laptop and decied that it was time for a fresh install. Yep i did it in a record time of 1.5hrs. Well record time for me anyways. This time i decied to run Firefox rather than IE, I've used firefox before but never got round installing it on my laptop. Anyways the problem is i have a conflict. Intel Pro wireless 2200BG and FireFox. thats what i'm guessing. what happens is i cant get a wireless connection to either of my two routers (DG834G, WGT624). It will try and get n ip address but cant get one. anyways after many restarts/Reinstalls/Uninstalls i found out the main problem was Firefox and ProSet. I uninstalled FF and Proset and just installed ProSet, and Wa lah. I get a connection.

    I was just wondering if anyone else had this same problem becuse i want to use FireFox but sum how i cant. :(

    I'm using FF and Proset (with Intel 2915 wireless)...works like a charm. Do you have the latest versions of both progs installed?
