Gordon,
I've had this problem too and have solved it now that I have a new router.
(Exactly what went wrong I don't know ...)
Anyway, before you go out and buy a new router, I think the Broadcom thing is
not very useable for us. Check to see what is managing your wireless by going
into your systray. If it's Intel PROSet/wireless then you may change this by
right clicking and select Windows to manage your wireless. (I was once advised
not to do this but actually I found that having played about a bit and changed
over to Windows, then back again to Intel, I've ended up with a stable wireless
connection.)
I hope this might help a bit. Incidentally, what router are you using?
Come back if you think I might be able to help further ... though I'm off out
now for most of the day ...

Subject: [access-uk] Connecting to a router
Hi
I have 2 Dell Inspiron laptops which recently I've tried to connect to my
Lynxis router. They connect and even get through using the password key, but on
the Wireless icon in Network Connections in Control Panel it says I am
connected with limited or no connectivity. I've removed firewalls and rely on
the router's firewall. I've gone through the setting and can see nothing
obvious. The strange thing is that I've got other machines connecting perfectly
well wirelessly and even my N95 does so without trouble.
I'm wondering if I should be using the Windows Wireless control or perhaps
there's another way. Strange that both Dell machines have the same problem.
They seem to use a Broadcom program.
Has anyone any ideas?
