Have you done a wireless scan? We had this with one of our senior
managers, when one of our tech's visited there were 16 wireless networks
in the vacinity. Half of them in their default configuration = free
internet access.
Have you tried different wireless cards in these machines?
Are you sitting in the same place as your girlfriend? Any mains leads
near by the laptop?
Walls floors all affect the signal, where is the router? Is there an
external ariel? Can the router be rotated?
We have a chap at work who is his own darkspot, he can not get a
connection no matter what he does.
Hope this helps.

I am running a wireless netgear router at my girlfriends flat and
everyone who is on a wireless connection keeps getting disconnected.



However when I am there I do not, but I am using wireless with an
Odyssey Client and not using windows to control my connection.



Unfortunately I cannot get it to work on my girlfriends laptop as it
does not support the wireless card she is using (Buffalo Technology
11mbps PCMICA card).



Has anyone come across this before? It is also a problem on her
flatmates computer which uses a brand new D-link PCI wireless card.



If they are on MSN messenger they get disconnected every 5 mins or so. I
however with my setup have no problems at all. Is there anything I can
do with the windows setup?



Regards,



Ho yin
