I have a wireless home network w/2 PCs, one (newish) w/XP and built-in WIFI, the other (older) on W98SE with a TrendNet WIFI PCMCIA card.
PC#1 works flawlessly.
PC#2: 256MB RAM, plenty of available HD, 800mHz CPU. It boots fine, I have a ZoneAlarm firewall. Internet connection is fine. I can work for about 10 minutes and then the system locks; I can't CTL/ALT/DEL out of it. If I boot and do nothing at all, the system shuts down after about 10 minutes and when I boot again it goes into SCANDISK (bad shutdown).
When I pull the TrendNet card and run offline, there is no problem - I can work or not forever, the system stays up.
Any suggestions on where to start looking? Thank you very much.
Fred
