I suggest you make out a trouble ticket and see if Jason Kehoe can
help you before seeking outside company help.
Jason does a great job for us.

When I try to set the RTS Threshold value i get an error saying The
RTS THreshold value must be between 128 and 1540. Also what would
be the best channel to have them set at.

Are these N-draft cards? If so, we had an issue with those dealing
with fragmentation/RTS thresholds. We had some old b cards that did
not like large Frag/RTS thresholds so we had them set low. The N-
Draft cards do not like them that low and exhibit behavior similar
to what you are describing. So, to fix it we increased the
Fragmentation threshold to 2048 and the RTS threshold to 2049 and
now all is well with the N-draft cards. However, the old b cards no
longer function, which is mostly ok for us since we no longer use
those devices except for 1 old palm pilot to program the door locks.
Thanks,

I agree with Sarah, make sure it is using windows wireless, third
party drivers can cause problems.

Is there wireless software on them, like Belkin (?), or something
that is taking control of the wireless instead of the Windows
administration of the wireless? We ran into that here. All I did
was either remove or disable that software, and then Windows took
over control of the wireless, and I had no more problems.

I need help from anyone that can help me. We recently bought a
mobile lab cart with 30 hp laptops and have nothing but problems
with them. They came loaded with Vista Business and have plenty of
RAM and processor speed to do what we need. Just never have any
luck with printing to the printer on the cart, accessing the
internet, loading up students personal drives and the mapped
drives. I will log in as administrator, fix the wireless card and
than log off and hand it to a student and then it will lose the
connection. I log back on as administrator and will have to repair
the wireless again. Anyone out there have some suggestions on what
to try or can tell me who has no issues with wireless that i could
come visit them before i decide to start throwing these laptops and
not joking about them.
PLEASE HELP ME BEFORE I GO NUTS!!!!!!!!
