Hi,
Don't know;but if you are using wireless encryption;any at all;
wep;wpa;wpa2; Vista has a problem with it. The stack isn't right yet for
encryption.
Sometimes it'll hold good;other's;just drops. Having that problem since
installed, my short term solution has been to run with no encryption;and use
mac filtering;to keep out the occasional freelance wi-fier. But it's
definitely a Vista issue;that has yet to be sufficiently addressed. Seems
that it happens intermittently;but when I took off all encryption;the link
is stable;and; as you pointed out;VERY fast. But MS definitely needs to
address this encryption issue;because running wireless without it;is just
asking for trouble.

Sorry about your day, I gathered something was up. Hope it get`s better
tomorrow !

I do get a good connection when connected , blindingly fast too but Vista
states it is limited. The dropping of the connection may be down to
Vista`s
security but seem`s strange ? Possibly Internet Explorer 7 dropping the
connection if not active, I`ll have to check on that one in the help
section.

Anyway hope your week get`s better Cheers icon
