Hello list, A few weeks back, my wife was complaining about her Ambicom network card which wouldn't remain connected while she was sending and receiveing email or when on a web site. I traded wireless cards with her and I'm having the intermintent problem of the card not staying connected. I can sit here and hear the BN say, "not connected" "connecting to network" (network represents my network name), and the sequence of connecting and disconnecting is seconds apart. I simply sat here and watched my unit go from connected to network to disconnecting almost systematically and I wasn't touching the unit at all! This is most disconcerting when I'm trying to read an EMAIL or web page and the BN continually disconnects and reconnects. I can turn wireless off if I wish but there are times I'd like to remain connected while doing any number of things. What might be the problem here? Is there a loose pin on the card? Is there a component or circuitry that is overheating somehow? Should I throw the c ard in the garbage and spend another 40 to 70 dollars for a new card? It works the same way on both our units. It may behave some days, but when it acts up, it really acts up! The signal level isn't the problem since I get minus 30 dbm constistently where I use it. This is a pretty good signal level usually. My wife is having no problem with the card I was using.
Thanks for any help and ideas. I got the card from Humanware! Jim Aldrich
