    I have a wireless network... why do i get kicked off?

    I get kicked off every few hours. Not sure why, but ICQ closes, everything closes, it reconnects and everything opens back up within 10 seconds. Only happens on my laptop, and I'm not moving around or anything.

        what kinda card do you have? i had this same prob, and all i could figure was i was using a cheap card. so i took my ass to the comp store and bought the most exspinsive card they had

        now i can walk a block from my house (i tested this, were you aware youve got a about a blocks distance?) and still get perfect connection and havent been kicked off sinse
        want to buy this spot for cheap? it is of course for sale. long term deals are always the best bet. brand0n/ at/ a o l dot commies.

          Have you added WEP (encryption) to the connection? If not, do so.

                  Well considering no one lives within 50 yards and I dont own a 2.4 ghz phone... I dont see why someone would sneak into my house and bring their own phone...

                      Well believe it or not a 2.4ghz phone with a "leaky signal" (thats what Linksys told me) even at 50 yards could interfere. I shit you not.

                      Last year that was happening with my neighbor(about 50 feet away). Thankfully I know them well and had them replace their phone. They went with the cheaper 900mgz units. Solved the problem.

                                  Do you use any other ports on that router with hard wiring? If so do you notice the same problems?

                                  I've had that exact same issue with Linksys routers twice now. In both cases it effected both wireless and hard connections.

                                  I've come to the conclusion their wireless router is shit. Replaced it with a D-Link Router, no more problems.

                                    delete your saved zones that store your wep key, disable and reenable your wifi card and reenter your key
                                    should work fine
