Here's my set-up,I have a Motorola Surfboard SB5100 cable modem attached by an ethernet cable to a Lynksys WPC54g wireless router.
The router is connected to my main PC (Win 98SE) by another ethernet cable.
I have a Wi-Fi laptop running XP home.
I have gone through the Linksys set-up routine and both computers had a good internet connection to begin with.However after a short while the laptops connection broke and is very intermittent.The security settings are not enabled and I only use the laptop in the next room (20 ft max.).
When I use the "repair the connection" wizard it seems to take forever,and I just usually click off and even though the taskbar icon is crossed I can still get a connection for another ten minutes or so.
