Hi!
I'm trying to diagnose a problem for a friend.
He has a wireless network at his house.
The broadband is provided by BT, and the Router
is a Netgear DG834GT.
He has a PDA, Laptop and Desktop all using this
wireless connection.
The desktop and PDA use the wireless network fine,
no disconnects and get a good signal.
The Laptop seems to disconnect every 10 mins or
so and won't pick the network up again.
I've gone over the settings in the router and in
the laptop and from what I can gather they
should work.
The interesting thing is, His last toshiba laptop
didn't work properly either.
I'm tempted to swap the wireless card for a
spare Intel one I have here, or even lend him
my Netgear USB stick to see if either of these
work.
Can anyone suggest what may be happening for his
laptop to just "Forget" about the network? I
think he has Zone Alarm and Norton Anti Virus
installed on his laptop and his PC, and there
are other detectable wireless networks in the area.

Just curious, did any of you find a solution to
this issue? I too have a brand new Toshiba
laptop with an Intel wireless card. The speed
constantly drops to 1mps. My husband also got a
Toshiba laptop with a different wireless card and
his stays at a steady 54mps

management and all seems fine now!!!... Well sort
