Greetings,
My brand new Dell laptop connected to my Road Runner/Motorola Wireless Cable Modem flawlessly, using XP w/SP2. Recently, though, I've had problems. The laptop connects to the wireless network. Then, after about 10 to 30 seconds, it disconnects, and tries again. Sometimes it connects long enough for me to view a webpage, then it hangs and disconnects and repeats the process. Any ideas on why this is happening? I've tried using the laptop from 5 to 15 feet away from the modem, and it's doing this everywhere all of a sudden.
