I have two PCs on a wireless network. I have a DSL router/modem combo provided by Verizon (its a Westell VersaLink model 327W), and both my PCs have D-Link DWL-520+ wifi PCI adapters. When ever I try to log in using my Macbook Pro's airport, both of the other computers lose their connection. The Macbookbook can connect fine, but i must turn it off and reboot the PCs to get them back online. Any thoughts?
Note: My dad's IBM Thinkpad notebook also caused a similar problem. Is there any router settings I should change, or should I try updated this ancient D-Link cards to something a little newer?
Thanks.

the only reason i can think of this can happen is a wrong setting in the router.
go to the router settings (has the address somewhat like 192.168.0.1 or similar) and check the entry "Maximum Number of DHCP users" - should be greater than the number of PCs you're using in your local network, i.e. 10.
Also check the entry "Starting IP address". the last 3 digits should be set around 100.
