WiFi

Well, I have a WiFi LAN at home, and every 10 minutes or so, the connection to the internet cuts, but not the connection to the WLAN itself... Any suggestions? There are 5 metres and 2 walls separating the router from the receiver, and the ROuter is Linksys, IEEE 802.11b which allows max 54 Mbits/S.

What is the problem in Windows XP? I have never heard this before.

its in the 802.11 wireless technology, get used to it for now. its a design flaw. anything running at 2.4ghz will kill your connection also like cordless phone if its in right or wrong place at the right time.. if you MUST stay connected plug a cat-5 straight through cable into the router..

let me guess you have a datalink router?
