Hi,

I've got a laptop that I use on my home network and I'm having problems getting it to communicate through my router. About half of all packets I send are being dropped. Can someone help me think of some ways to start troubleshooting this issue?

Thanks in advance!
Brian

I am guessing that the router is set up with no firewall or any other obstacle?

As well as the laptop?
