I keep losing connection every 10 minutes or so with the laptop on wireless. I was told it was an XP problem that SP2 fixed but no joy since installing SP2 this weekend. The signal is excellent but keeps dropping every 10 minutes. Any ideas on what the problem might be? I'm using the Linksys WRT54G router. 3 other computers are connected via cat5 with no problems.

ahh i had this same problem- go to the linksys support page and look to upgrade the firmware on your router- save it to your desktop and then run it

I uninstalled the wireless network adapter (under device manager) on my laptop and then let XP re-install on startup. Seems to be working fine now.
