Wireless Problem - Help please!

Hi,

I have just reinstalled XP on a friends laptop and setup wireless from scratch again. I have used WPA-PSK for encryption. The problem I'm having is that after around 15mins of uptime and using the internet the network card seems to start scanning to different channels and the connection is lost to the internet. I cannot gain access unless I reboot. Any ideas how to solve this one?

Have you tried the latest drivers from the manufacturers website or windows update?

Also you could try changing the channel the wireless channel on the router.

I've tried the latest drivers for the PC card. That's what it using now. Windows is operating under SP2. I'll give that a go with the channel change. Its on 11 at the moment - seems to scan looking on channels 8 and 10.

Try channels 1 & 6 on the router as thier normaly the default ones.
