Hehe no, I'm certain I didn't change anything. At first I thought it was the whole network - but I think perhaps I've narrowed it to my laptop. I ran a ping -t of my wireless router last night - and it was horrid. Crashing all over the place, timing out, etc. 12% loss of info. At the same time, my brothers laptop 6 ft from me was running the same ping, and never once dropped off.

Around midnight I thought "Well, I *did* install VMware and Xampp recently" so I removed both of those, which _seemed_ to fix the problem. I was getting 2ms pings, and 0% loss. Pheww I thought, blaming it on the network bridge in VMware. But now, in the last 20 or so minutes, its gone all the hell again :(

Now that you mention it, I did notice the other day a new wireless network on the list. Althought I'm no longer reading it in Windows, nor in Network Stumbler. My channel mode is set to Auto by the way

Ping statistics for 192.168.1.2:
    Packets: Sent = 152, Received = 131, Lost = 21 (13% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
    Minimum = 1ms, Maximum = 147ms, Average = 9ms

Ouch.

If it has been working fine for the last year, and you haven't changed
anything recently (you didn't change anything, did you, Mitchell?  You
wouldn't do that, I know), then I would hazard to guess that one of
your neighbours recently got a wireless network and it's interfering
with yours.  Any new networks recently pop up in the default list of
available networks?  You could try fiddling with the channel your
wireless is running on and see if that helps.
