for you to look into. Channels in different countries differ. In the US, It’s
1-11 and they can bleed into each other. You can only use 3 channels without
any threat of bleeding in the same area. 1, 11 and something in between, I
think 6. You should be able to pickup another wireless signal when your
wireless is off if that is the case.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<br>
I don't know if I've complained about this already, but Windows doesn't want to
play nice over my wireless connection. To be honest I don't know which is to
blame exactly, I suspected the router at first since one of my favourite
internet radio stations hasn't played nicely since I got the thing, but since
then I've found that other internet radio stations did work nicely so now I'm
skeptical that the problem lies there. I now suspect that the problem may be
something in Windows, the network cuts out for a few seconds after a consistent
amount of time, it was either 40 or 80 seconds iirc, when I'm copying something
from my desktop to my laptop.<br>
<br>
I was hoping I could get some advice on how to diagnose the problem, I suspect
playing with ping and trying alternative methods of connection could work, but
I thought it best to ask for help before I start flooding the internet with the
type of packets that are usually associated with DoS attacks ;-) .If it helps I
have a D-Link Dl-524 802.11G router, my desktop plugs in to the router thought
a cat 5 cable by a Realtek RTL-8139 based NIC and my laptop connects wirelessly
via a built in Atheros AR5005GS (802.11G capable) wireless network adapter.<br>
<br>
I really don't know that much about wireless, but I've toned down the antenna
power on my router so it isn't very accessible in the far corners of the house
never mind outdoors, therefore I doubt that someone has managed to get into my
network; however if there was already someone else using the same channel as me
for their network (as I recall the choices range from one to six) is it
possible that might be causing problems?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
