Hi DJ,

Thanks.  It seems my network has got really screwed up, maybe after Service
Pack 3 installation, and I'm not getting very far.  Have decided to try a
computer volunteer this time around as it may prove to be more than one
problem.

I shall keep this info though to check the connection in due course.

Carol,

Window Eyes will tell you in the system tray if it's poor very poor,
good very good excellent etc.  However you can get the strength in mb
by going to,

1.  Control Panel

2.  Network Connections.

3.  Apps key on Wireless Network Connection.

4.  Return on Status in this list.

5.  Read the screen with your jaws/window eyes/other cursor.

The lower it says the worse the signal is.  Wirless N should say
300mb for the top range signal.  I've seen it at 150mb and still
downloading at 1.5mb/s off the bbc's websites.

It's useful to look at this whilst you have a largish file
ddownloading off the net.  This lets you see how the signal is coping
with the constant request for data transmission.

Dj Paddy.

I have direct experience of this sort of wireless congestion in the
past.  Basically what it all amounts to is that you have to
experiment with channels until you find one where you get kicked
off the least after that there isn't much you can do except set up
another wireless station in places within your own peroperty where
the signal gets weakest.  It might therefore be worth looking at
signal strengh and see if it is low.  Since installing an
additional wireless base station I haven't had the problem..
