I am currently running a wireless network at home using a Linksys 4 port wireless "B" router with a signal booster/extender attached. On the network is a new SqueezeBox, a Linksys wireless ethernet bridge having a fixed IP address connected to a print server and four late model Dell laptops all with Centrino chips and Windows XP. My laptop which connects wirelessly to the router is running the current version of slimserver. We are connected to the internet via a new Speedtouch DSL modem. Generally I can expect to listen to the SB for about 20 to 30 minutes and then it goes dark (signal strength at 90%+), back at my laptop I will find that I am no longer connected to the network and that the led light for the wireless network is off on the router. When I try to repair the connection in Windows it says the connection cannot be repaired and that the TCIP is not configured for such a connection. If I reboot the router all is fine again until I turn on the SB. In a fit of frustration I connected my laptop to one of the free ports on the router and suddenly all problems vanished and I listened for four uninterrupted hours. Does the laptop need to remain connected to the router for this to work or is there some setting that I have missed that would allow me to continue to listen and to take my laptop out to the deck?
