I bought my sister a new lappy so she gave me her old one to add to my homenetwork. So I added a PC Card to it that has wireless .11b, now for some reason my .11g lappy seems to disconnect often for no apparent reason. My WAP is b and g compliant. I don't know why there seems to be some conflict between the computers any ideas on this?

After doing a little searching, I found something interesting in this article:

Its strange, I'm currently taking a class on Wireless LANs and WLAN technology in college, I thought b and g were supposed to be compatible already! Hope this helps in some way!

Yeah the weird thing is though the older lappy with the B is somehow doing something like this to the G instead of the other way around, I have no idea whats going on. I completely opened up my network and I still cant con steady, so I don't think its a security setting. Zzzz

Have you tried updating the drivers on the 11G card? I'm betting it's an Intel 2200BG?

Nope, Ill have to give that a try, the main thing I am noticing is my .b pc card doesnt seem to support wpa, everytime I try to enter the network key it brings up an error that i have to enter a alphanumeric (ascii) or hexadecimal key between 4-20 letters, and it IS. I think it wants a WEP key or something I should prob try to update it first cause something is bugging on it.Tebore said:

What are you using to configure the cards? Windows Built in Wireless Manager? or Manufacture's utility? It's best to use the Manufacture's stuff otherwise, you'll need SP2 to activate WPA.
