hope someone can point me in the right direction with this cos i can figure it out.
here's the setup:
desktop running xp pro
laptop with the same.
belkin 802.11b wireless router (model no:f5d5230-3)

desktop is cabled to the router, laptop is wireless.

problem: all was working fine till 2 days ago when i decided to enable wep on the router. connection to the internet is fine on both machines.... but i have folders on the desktop, mapped to the laptop which are causing the problems.
i can view these folders from the laptop, but whenever i try to access any of them, the laptop slows to a crawl, briefly displays the contents of the folder then goes on to display an empty folder! when retrying to access any mapped folder, i get a prompt that all network drives have been disconnected! at this point, I also lose all internet connectivity on the laptop...and desktop, and cannot even access the router...just get pcbd on everything!!! only way i can resolve this is to pwr the router on and off. this gives me connectivity again... but any time i try to access any mapped folder, i get the same problem!!!
disabling wep is a quick fix, but would rather keep this if anyone point out where the problem might be
