I'm sure you're tired of wireless connection drop-out problems but despite searching through the posts and the Troubleshooting advice here I can't find anything relating to my particular problem.
I have a laptop and a PC connected wirelessly via a Belkin PreN Router (configured as a WAP) and a PC connected via Cat 5 to an ADSL router.
The internet connection works flawlessly for all the computers but the various clients keep "disappearing" from the network. Files are available to share one minute but not the next - with error messages saying that "accesss has been denied" the next. Pinging the clients works - or it doesn't. Sometimes all pings will work, sometimes one or two, sometimes none at all.
The longest time the network has been up without a failure is about 10 minutes - and it can take up to 5 minutes for the PC to become visible again.
I've tried all the usual IP address, subnet mask, workgroup name and WPA encryption testing. All seem fine.
Is there anything that anybody can suggest?
TIA. John.
