Right... 2 probs.

1. Dunno if this is signal related or not but every morning when i come to the PC it's dropped the WLAN connection. Belkin 54 Mb/s Cable router, with Belkin 54 Mb/s desktop PCI card. I've extended the antenna so it's away from the wiring on the back of the PC. SNR is currently -71 - -85 = 14 dBm and speed 36 Mb/s- XP SP2 with latest Belkin drivers, fully patched with Windows updates, using the XPSP2 Zero Config utility and WPA encryption. The fact it's normally about 3am (messenger plus log) when the connection drops seems more than coincidence...

2. This is pretty much the same issue as the OP's- router drops internet connection locking browsing and email but MSN still seems to stay signed in. Need to fire up to 192.168.2.1 and reset the router before it works, but then it works fine. Hardware F5D7230-4; Firmware 4.05.03...

Any ideas?
