Hello. I had a friend over and she was accessing our wireless service using her own laptop. She said to change the WEP address. After we did all of that, we had nothing but problems. The last problem was that the desktop would only stay connected for about 2 minutes and disconnect. I would have to play with it for a minute and it would recconect and disconnect after 2 minutes. The laptop worked fine. I was on the phone with verizon and the computer company for hours. They couldn't do anything. I made an appointment with the Geeksquad for Monday. Last night, while trying to fix it myself, I disabled the wireless icon in the tray and was able to enable it again. Since then, i've had no problems. It's been an hour today that i've been on and it hasn't disconnected. I was just wondering how disabling fixed the problem. Is it like refreshing? Also, do you think it will stay this way? If so, I would like to cancel my geeksquad appointement because it will cost a good amount. Thanks!
