Hmmm I just finished setting up my home network using the Wireless B Boradband Router by Linksys. I have a similar setup as you.
My main PC is connected to the Router via RJ45 cable. I have 4 other machines (3 desktops and 1 laptop) that are connected via wireless cards. It took it awhile to tweak it right but was able to finally get it all up and running. I have not experienced the connection being dropped. However I am not using the PPPoE connection either. I use the Obtain IP Automatically since I do nto have a static IP for my DSL connection. What is the benefit of using the PPPoE ? >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 09/02/03 11:28AM >>> Ok, I've seen these discussed here before so I though I would get some help and/or information before I hit the LinkSys customer support. At the very least, I should be able to talk more intelligently about the problem. What it the problem you ask? Well I finally got and set up a LinkSys wireless router in my home allowing my desk top and my wife's life lap top to share our DSL PPPoE connection. The desk top is connected directly to the router with a network cable, the laptop is using a Linksys Instant Wireless Network PC Card. There are no problems with the desk top, but the lap top is unable to maintain a connection with the network. Keeps loosing the connection after no more then one or two minutes. Usually, almost instantly you can reconnect, but not always. This is quite annoying. Any recommendations or suggestions on what I can tweak that may improve the connectivity for the lap top. -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource Sacramento, CA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=t:5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Your ad could be here.
