Wireless connection intermittent

[#1]

Are you using WPA2 security on the router?  That required a patch to be installed on XP SP2, KB917021.
I just wondered if that was relevant to your situation (another straw).  If you had it originally restoring the registry could have removed it.

Hi8.  I'm using WPA-PSK (no sever) TKIP encryption.  Whatever, I downloaded the patch you gave me and the connection works at this moment.  I'll keep you informed as to how it goes. Fingers crossed and everything else.
Many thanks for your persistence.

Well, the connection drops out, I am unable to manually connect and then the connection makes automatically.  Most confusing

Sorry, I've run out of straws too.

I had similar troubles with my Belkin router.  I ditched it in favour of a BT Voyager 2110 since when I have only dropped connection on two occasions.

Thanks for your input.  I have had horrendous broadband connection problems the last few days which are now improving; hence my lack of response here.
However, I have downloaded the latest drivers for my Belkin PCI wireless card and the connection, ATM, is fine.  Again, fingers crossed but things are looking hopeful.
Cheers

Well, installing the latest drivers (2005!) has done the trick as the wireless connection has been solid.  My poor broadband connection was caused by water getting into a BT connection some distance from my house so that will be fixed soon.
Thanks for the input guys.
