Thanks. I hear that. But that is not an answer to my problem. I want to know this stuff, not know how to avoid it. I can upgrade this particular unit, since it is mine, but that will not help me resolve this issue with others who don't want to upgrade to XP.
For those who care, this problem was resolved by manually changing the channel on the laptop to channel 1, which is what the AP is on. -- Ardell Faul Laptop Computer & Monitor Repair 10816 E.
