Is your wireless router setup like the Forum Sticky suggests?
Rick
Hi, I am completely stumped. I have a wireless network with an older SpeedStream 5100 DSL Modem and a Netgear RangeMax WPN 824 wireless router.
Connected machines are 1 wired HP MediaSmart Server.
There are two laptops with built-in wireless - one on XP the other on Vista.
Whenever both machines are running and connected to the network, I lose the connection after ~20 mins. I can restore it by power cycling the modem but it usually goes out again within a half hour.
All indicators on the laptops are that the connection is fine, but I can't ping any external sites. I can see the other machines on my network.
Please advise. I am completely stumped, have searched extensively, and I'm not sure if the problem is more likely to be the modem, router, maybe Windows Home Server, or maybe a Vista issue?
thanks,
