Just to revive an old thread...

After a repeated problems using using a new BT Home Hub router, I have reverted back to my 1800HG 2wire modem/router, but the same problems still remain. Whenever my laptop PC is on it's own it works just fine. When the laptop and mac are on, the PC keeps dropping connection, but more often than not, the wireless connection does not drop entirely but the internet connection fails - I cannot access websites. I can only resolve this by disabling and then re-enabling the PC's wireless adapter.

I now have both computers set up to use a static IP address. I can't help but think my problems with the Home Hub were also due to the same issue. Can anyone suggest anything I can do with this bloody Mac iBook apart from take a hammer to it's overpriced arse?
