Internet connected up straight away so did not reload drivers for Modem. Since then the my wireless connection to the lap top is poor. Will connect when first switched on and then connection is lost in about five minutes.
Any ideas?

If its a router were do modem drivers come into it as you dont have a modem?
Are you connecting from the pc with the new drive via a cable or wireless?

Reloaded 'My Documents' from the back up (Not anything else)
Then I was able to connect to the Internet straight away via the hard wired Netgear DG834G Modem Router. Also still able to connect my laptop wireless but lose connection after about five minutes and cannot reconnect.
I did not reload any drivers?
Desktop with new hard disk is hard wired.

So how can a wired connection (on a different PC) affect a wireless connection on a lap top?
I assume the desktop doesn't have a wireless and a wired connection?

That is why I am asking. Is it coinsidence? The Laptop connects daily to a Network at work so has something downloaded to change the ability to stay connected?
Desktop does not have wireless and is hard wired.
Reset the modem today and reloaded the drivers. Hard wired all OK. Wireless connect OK and five minutes later I lose the connection.
Maybe the correct question here is what would cause a wireless netwoork to lose a connection after Five minutes without you moving?

For example do you use static addresses?
Does the wireless connection work if the desktop is kept switched off?
If not, you probably ought to post detailed network details.
