hi a few weeks ago i set up a network for a friend. the network is exactly like mine. i run a laptop and pc with xp home on both, wireless cards both. router used is belkin F5D7230v4 wireless g router. the dsl modem was provided by the ISP. my friend also with the same ISP. while i have no problems connecting to my network with either of the computers, my friend does.
he has same router, same dsl modem. he has 2 laptops- one dell ( no problems with this laptop) and a sony viao (this one has problems). the dell connects with no problem, but the viao has many problems. it keeps loosing the connection. signel strengh is excellent. both laptops under a year old. the connection is stable for a few seconds but then disconnects and reconnects. another info that might be usefull is that the wireless router is set for uk/europe tranmission while the viao was bought in the US. lease time for IP is set to forever.
any help apreciated.
