Im a newbie and this really starrting to pish me off now, so any help would
be greatly appreciated
Got a wireless network at home, which has 1 pc wired in to router and
another pc with a wireless card this works spot on no problems. Just got
myself a laptop and got wireless pcmcia card to link into system all
components are a brand called mentor, problem is once i had installed
drivers and software it picked up network no problem and had internet
access but this only last couple of mins max and now the only way to get
internet access is to reboot laptop and internet comes back but only for
couple of mins.
Anyone have any ideas what the fault could be ????

Also please ensure while internet goes off form laptop . check with the
Desktop PC having wireless card.Please make a try by changing your PCMCIA
card of lapto.
Please try using some popular branded company cards. May be the hardware is
causing some problem.
You could be getting interference from another source such as a microwave
or mobile phone, tv etc...
P2P programmes can cause internet explorer to disconnect as well so make
sure they are not loading or active.
try clearing the internet cache with a cleaning programm such as advance
windowscare at download.com (free).
does the problem only exist when the laptop is running from battery power
or is it the same running from the mains?
try changing the channel on the router as well in case another natwork is
nearby and causing interference.
finally... does you isp only allow a certain number of connections??
best of luck and if all else fails then try upgrading the drivers, closing
down all other programmes (except the firewall) and try again...check
settings on router....
