Wireless laptop problems

by identcc . Updated 23 years, 6 months ago

I recently bought a new Dell laptop with a Linksys wireless PCMCIA card in hopes of allowing it to wirelessly connect to my wired network via a Linksys Wireless Access Point. The laptop is XP Pro and the network is Win2K. Anyway, I can MAKE the connection, but I can’t seem to KEEP it. It will stay connected for about five minutes or so and then drop it. I know the access point works because I have a desktop that has a wireless PCI card installed and it works just fine. I’ve been back and forth with Linksys, I’ve removed and reinstalled drivers and hardware, changed the SSID name and added (and for troubleshooting purposes, subsequently removed WEP), and triple checked configuration. Anyone else have this type of problem, and if so, how did you fix it?
