Hi, I'm in need of some help with our WLAN. I'd appreciate it if you could read trough if you think you could help.
I have a problem with one desktop computer. It's got a ASUS P4P800-VM as the motherboard and a D-Link DWL-510 wireless ethernet card. The OS is Windows XP Pro. I have F-secure internet security 2005 on it. The wireless access point that the card connects to is a D-Link DWL-900+ ap (something like that). There's no problem with the signal's strength, but the reliability of the signal. Before, it worked, but after I formatted and reinstalled XP, it started cutting the connection up. It cuts when there's network traffic, like using a browser, checking mail with Outlook, or anything other than just idle status. First the signal icon says "Signal strength: excellent" and right after I start using the network it cuts up and says "there are no wireless networks available".
The access point is connected to a ADSL router with a rj-45 cable. There is another computer, a laptop, with a wireless card also, which works fine. Then there is my computer that goes straight to the ADSL router with a rj-45.
I've tried disabling the firewall and some other connection manager thingy from F-secure's program with no luck.
I even changed the card but it did no good. I've yet to try to change some channels that I read about on some site, but I can't seem to bring up the configuration utility of the card.
First I thought it was the limit of two simultaneous IP's the ISP is giving us, so two computers didn't work at the same time when both are using the network, but it wasn't that. Surely I'm forgetting something here but give me your suggestions, anything could help.
ps. My mom is hurrying me so that she could 'have a computer that works for once'
