Archived from groups: comp>sys>ibm>pc>hardware>networking (more info?)

My laptop is an IBM Thinkpad with an Intel 2100 Wireless card. I
have a wireless modem that connects with my Desktop and a DSL service.

1. I get disconnected very often and cann't find the reason. The
signalls are strong (even with only a few feet from the router).

2. On the Windows Wireless Network Connections Properties, the
"Use Windows to Configure my Wireless Settings" keeps getting
unchecked ! Usually after log on, I have this checked but then it
gets unchecked by itself ever so often.

3. Sometimes windos will detect my wireless connection but show
the SSID as " Unsecured computer-to-computer wireless network" even
though I have a secured newtwork with WAP.

Any ideas on these problems ? I guess they are related somehow.

Regards.

Thanks - Yes, I still have the Speetream wireless router/modem
installed. The disconnections happens regardless of the SSID
setting. I read somewhere months ago regarding disconnections and the
use of Windows XP , but it was before I had a wirelees system and did
not pay too much attention to it.
