Hi,

I got rid of my connection problems by changing WPA-PSK (TKIP) security
to WEP 128 bit and MAC-filtering. The problem seemed to be
reauthentication, during which the connection was lost.

I'm using a ZyXEL P-660HW router, and my reauthentication timer was set
to 3600 seconds (1 hour). SC is running on a Vista laptop also
wirelessly connected. First I got rid of some DHCP errors by switching
to static ip on the server. But I still got disconnections, then I
tried using a ethernet cable to the server to rule out wireless
problems on the serverside, still diconnections at 1 hour intervals
now, then I tried reducing the reauthentication timer to 5 min, and
wow, now the disconnections came at 5 min intervals!. 

Unfortunatly my only choices were to increase the timer to max. 9999
seconds (2h45m) or to disable WPA security. First I tried without
security and it worked without disconnections for 8 hours straight.
Afterwards I tried with WEP and still no problems.

Hopefully my frustrations are over now and I can start enjoying my
music :0)

To test whether reauthentication is a problem try to extend or decrease
the timer and observe or disable WPA completely for a while.
