    New Sat S111 acting up with DLink Wireless Card

    Just bought a new M35X-S111. It works fine alone and when wired to my DLink AirPlus access point. However when running wireless using the AirPlus adapter it acts as though the cache was full or connectivity is lost, even though neither is true.

    The adapter is fine because it still works fine in my other toshiba laptop.

    The wireless connection works fine for a period of time, but the more times that a page is refreshed the faster the "connection refused" message is displayed. I would guess about 4 minutes in a chat room, 10 minutes visiting various pages with sizable graphics. After that no internet interaction is possible.

    The problem happens using either IE or Firefox. Clearing cache, cookies, history, etc. has no effect. There is 256 ram on the Satellite.

    Restarting the laptop seems to reset everything. But the problem repeats itself as described.

    I had problems with the driver for the card originally. The card was version B but the disk had driver for version C, so I installed the B driver from the DLink site.

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
