Vista laptop "blocks" vista desktop
Hi all,
I have a strange situation in which I can get great wireless access to our Netgear DG834GT router from my Vista Home Premium desktop, via Belkin dongle, but as soon as another laptop in the house connects to the WiFi, also running home premium, the quality of the access from the desktop is impaired to the point of being inoperable - 95% packet loss, roughly. This is nothing to do with bandwidth as two other laptops and another desktop work as expected. It seems that somehow the laptop messing with packets for the desktop.... any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Many thanks. Mat

Vista laptop "blocks" vista desktop
Are some of your machines running a different protocol of 802.11 protocol?
For example one machine using 802.11 G while another uses 802.11 B. Some routers get real cranky about that. "mat" wrote in message ...
