Not sure what it is but whenever im on msn or limewire/bittorrent it keeps either signing out or just generally not connecting.

I have just gone wireless (yesterday) but im sat 3metres away from my router..?

Worst thing is msn signs out every 3-5minutes, regardless of whether im chatting or surfing the web.

Any ideas people?

Cheers

Check the security settings on the router to make sure the right ports are allowed for MSN/file sharing.

Also try changing the wireless channel you are using as could be a neighbouring signal cutting you off.

When ive been downloading files of the internet ( iTunes/ MSN) it sometimes stops halfway or so, then you have to cancel and restart the download, sometimes a few times.

Update zee wireless drivers for the card
Try the connection without any encryption (very quickly though)
Try the connection with different encryption
Try the laptop on another wireless connection (friends, maccers etc)

Then you'll be able to find out if its the card or router at fault.

Try turning the signal strength down in the router. You may actually be too close to it
