Thanks to all who responded. Here are the details -- sorry about that.
Win XP, SP1. I have been afraid to do the SP2 upgrade because I am using an
old printer and Word 97. Also some other older software. I've been told
that there can be problems with older hardware and software on SP2, and my
worklife will fall apart if I get into trouble with Windows right now. Is
this wrong? I've been holding out, because I'm going to have to get a new
computer at the end of this year, and I figured once the new one was set up
I could take the risk of messing with SP2.
Wireless Cards: One is the original card that came in my Dell laptop: Dell
TrueMobile 1300 WLan Mini-PCI card, which can do the b protocol but not the
g. However, it receives better than the new card, which is faster but fussier.
The new one is a Linksys Wireless-G Notebook Adapter, 2.4 GHz, 802.11g.
Both of them work fine when they are working. When Explorer goes down
neither works. It's a limited part of Explorer, I think, because the rest
of the computer works OK for quite a long time after the internet
connection goes. Eventually, though, the whole system hangs up.
The access point is a Linksys router, WRT-54G, according to Wayne's
recommendation :-). We recently updated the driver. The Linksys card is
just a couple of months old, and it has the newest driver.
