Hardware: Netgear WiFi router, Linksys Instant wireless pc card V3.0.
running on a Dell laptop with Server 2k3.
The PCMCIA NIC is driving me up the wall. Sometimes it connects and other
times it won't.
My other computer is running XP and has a PCI WiFi NIC and always detects
and connects to my router, whereas I have to fight with my Laptop's NIC to
get it to connect to my network.
The annoying thing is that it picks up a multitude of other networks. To me
this proves that all hardware is working, along with the fact that
sometimes the laptop connects without a problem.
I hardly ever move the laptop so I can't see it being a signal problem
Anybody got any ideas as to what is going on or what I might do to solve
the problem?
I've got all the latest drivers installed, however I tend to get better
results with the Windows Wireless connection software rather than
Linksys.
