OK i have 2 wireless MA311 Netgear cards in 2 different computers.

I had to reinstall one of the machines so lost the settings i had for the wireless setup (after a lot of mucking about i had the 2 communicating and running the net fine with NO disconnections but i cant remember the settings i had)

So ive tried to set it up again and i think ive set it up a different way and it works, but after random times the one thats taking the connection from the other machine, the internet stops then reconnects.

Here is my setup at the mo

downstairs pc (NTL cable connection)

ntl connection - auto ip config set
wireless card - auto configure ip set

upstairs pc (the one i want net connection)

wireless card - manually set IP
set DNS to downstairs wireless IP addy

when i do this on the upstairs pc, when connected to downstairs in internet connections it says connected to NTL with the 2 pc icon.

But the net keeps dropping infrequent times. I never had this problem with my previous setup and never got that NTL now connected 2 pc icon.

Can anyone think why or what are the "proper" settings?

Thanks a bunch guys im really baffled.
