Hi, I run internet via cable to my first computer, I then set up a router and
network card to share that internet connection wireless.
the signal strength is always very good, and for months I've had no problems
with the shared internet connection.

However these past 2 months I randomly lose the internet and network
connection 3 0r 4 times a day, I'm unable to receive any data, however my
signal strength remains constantly very good. but my computer simply decides
it can't find any wireless network to connect to.
It was their a second a go, why can my computer not see it now?

Re-setting my router hasn't solved the problem, and it appears to me that
the only way to re-connect to the network is to re-start the computer, but
this is very inconvenient when I’m working.
Could it be a network card problem?
I’ve checked power management, the network card isn’t going to sleep.

Any idea’s?

Thank you

Andy

Hi
Where the Internet is coming from?
It might be that you are an a triple Routing system and it is unstable.

HI Jack,

The broadband connection comes from the television cable box, through to the
router, then from the router to the first computer via the network cable, and
then the internet connection is transmitted wirelessly to the network card in
my second computer.

Signal strength is always good, yet the connection has dropped 3 times in
this morning yet still receiving a good signal.

Try Netstumbler (free download) you may find several conflicting
wireless networks.
If using WZC go over to static IP adddresses for your
gateway and DNS server, it's simple and easy to change.
Does your network adapter give a signal quality figure?
Signal quality can be as important as good signal strength.
Maybe it's a relative location issue, inbuilt wireless
adapters often suffer from screening from the case.
So USB adapters, which can be located for optimum
signal, often perform better than inbuilt adapters.
Although you say good signal strength, adapters are often
over optimistic when reporting signal strength, and
rarely report signal/noise ratio.
Netstumbler has signal/noise capability.
Try using aluminium kitchen foil reflectors at one or
both ends of the wireless link.

Hi
The topology of your connection looks OK.
