I sorta run into the same thing with my laptop, if I am connected close by my access point and I walk to the back yard the signal will stay and all is well, signal is good and it will stay connected. If I am not connected and am in the back yard and try to get a signal it will not connect.... My neighbors PC tho can get a good connection at his house further away.

As I move away from the router, the signal stays strong, but I lose the ability to ping the router or access the Internet. If I move back towards the router, the ping comes back and I can surf, but the signal doesn't change - it stays at "very good" through out (until I move within sight the router, when it changes to "excellent." This is with a Sony Laptop using an Intel 2200BG onboard NIC. T --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Anti-Virus]
