Hi, I've installed a belkin router (F5D7632UK4) at my girlfriends house
with a view to both sharing the broadband connection with two laptops.
One has in-built wireless capability (a HP machine which has built-in
wireless and lets windows handle it's wireless config) and on the other we
installed a wireless network card (belkin F5D7010UK on a compaq machine).
This seemed to work correctly for around two weeks until, when both
machines were being used at the same time, the connection to the compaq
machine initially disappeared. The lights on the card would be on, the
utility would see the router etc..however it would intermittedly 'pass
out'. the lights would go off and the connection disappear. This made
accessing the internet impossible and very annoying seeing as it is a
belkin router and a belkin network card.
I reinstalled the card to see if that would fix it but it didn't. I then
clicked the checkbox to allow windows to handle the wireless configuration.
This seemed to fix the problem on the compaq machine.
However when the two machines were being used at the same time about a week
later the fault has appeared again. this is very annoying as you can
imagine.
I've pretty much established that when the HP machine is using the wireless
connection it seems to bump the compaq machine off the shared
connection.
Do you have any suggestions on how to remedy this situation? If you do I
would be most grateful.
Many thanks

Hi,
try Manually Configuring your Router,
see the document delow which expains briefly how to disable auto detect
settings and manually settings up the IP address.
