Re: Wireless is hard

I went through the same thing. Suspecting my new Windows XP OS, when in fact all was solved when I downloaded the latest drivers for my TrueMobile 1300 series miniPCI card.

Before you try anything else, UPGRADE YOUR WIRELESS DRIVER!

I run XP on a wireless laptop. Runs 24-7 with Wireless Zero Configuration on. No problems, no hassles, no drops. Ever. And yes, WEP is enabled along with firewalls, MAC locking and through an 802.1x captive portal. Well, it does drop - when I go past 1/2 a mile away from my house. ;> I use a D-link USB wireless adaptor, Another D-link PCMCIA card, and a Linksys A-B-G card on that machine with no headaches.

MS is not at fault here, IMO.
