Hi,
setup is as follows: 4 pcs (2 desktops and 2 laptops)
1x wireless netgear router
1x netgear network card
all apart from one laptop are using xp home sp1
so 2 desktops and the laptop with the netgear network card can access network i.e. share files and internet connection...
the other laptop is using win xp pro sp2 and has inbuilt wifi...this laptop drops connection after 1 min....but can see the network and access it even tho for 1 min etc....this laptop has norton premierworks like the other pcs....
so took the troublesome laptop to a wifi hotspot and it did not drop its connection...it maintained it for an hour +...no problems....
why will this laptop not maintain connection when being used on the home network?
is it a software conflict issue? if yes in what way?
all ideas would be most appreciated....
thanks
