I've got an old G1 DL380 running windows 2003 enterprise server.
When it was at my parents, a couple of years back, we ran it from the garage with a dlink wifi card, and a dlink wifi cable modem.

Finally got round to rebuilding it at my house, and the dlink card couldn't connect to the sky netgear router, really weak signal, and when I typed in the security passphrase, it would lose connection to the router and ask me again.
So got a belkin wireless G router (7000UK) and it instantly connects to the router with full strength.
Great you might think, but as soon as I start using the network, to upload a file to the server for instance or download an app from the net to it, the network drops out, killing the file transfer.

Anyone got suggestions? Or a recomendation for a PCI wifi G card which works with 2003?

While you're at it, any recomendations for a USB PCI card, as the one I'm using also can't transfer large files from USB mass storage devices, they fail with an i/o error.
