In Wireless XP Hell Right now...
Ok, I have a problem that I can't quite seem to fix. My brand new Fujitsu P5010D is performing wonderfully, but there's a problem with the wireless network access. The problem isn't getting on - the problem is STAYING on. I'm picking up three wireless networks within range - this laptop is much more powerful than my WiFi PCMCIA card. I've connected to my preferred home network, put in the WEP key, etc. I have access. Then after a few minutes, Windows XP will pop up a window saying "There are other wireless networks within range" and it will punt me off the network and give me a choice of the three networks again. The problem is that even though my home network is at the top of the preferred network list, it doesn't seem to "stick".
I've been using WiFi for a while now and have never run into this problem. I can't seem to find a solution to the problem either - Google is not my friend right now. :| I've even tried going into the advanced settings and disabling the "Use Windows to configure my wireless settings" box, but that only results in me being able to connect to nothing at all.
This laptop is amazing, but this one issue is really frustrating me! Any tips on how I can get my preferred network to stick?
