internet problem

Im almost certain that i know what youre problem is.

Go to start then run and type services.msc, should bring up the services screen.

Now scroll all the way to the bottom and find wireless zero configuration.

Right click it, go to properties then click ok then click stop, once stopped click on start up type and change to disabled.

Other then the host a wireless router works by a wireless conection to the satelite systems sharing the same primary connection. When you mentioned the system being too close to the router itself that sounds as if the system is the host or the host is nearby in the immediate vicinity. The ISP is still the best source for information on a custom setup for hard wiring any system other then the host directly to the router.

The fact that you connected both to the router directly is the problem you are seeing. You are cutting the bandwidth plus trying to split the same IP address. It just doesn't work. You would have to configure the same account on two systems and turn one off completely when using the other as the host. You may as well as move the connection back and forth between the two systems there.

From http://paininthetech.com/disable_wir..._in_windows_xp

If you are running a wireless card on Windows XP and have experienced problems maintaining a connection to your wireless router, I highly recommend that you disable the “Wireless Zero Configuration” service.

The Wireless Zero Configuration service allows your network card to automatically select and connect to preferred networks as they become available. On my home desktop computer with a Gigabyte 802.11g wireless card, I only ever want to be connected to one wireless network and thus have no need for a service that is automatically scanning for different wireless networks. I found that my wireless card would frequently (every 10 minutes or so) drop my wireless connection for just a moment, long enough to kill any connection-oriented applications (like FTP or AIM) and force me to reconnect.

By disabling this service, I noticed a huge improvement in the short “drops” of wireless connectivity. I can now have an active FTP, BitTorrent, or chat session running wirelessly and not worry about it being dropped.

i dont think thats the problem..because well....right now...my computer has lost its connection

You have your X-Box connected as well? You may be having a configuration type of conflict going on there. I did mention splitting the bandwidth down between the two systems. Now you mention having a third but different type of system directly connected to the router. It seems you would be better off simply moving the system away from the router and going back on wireless to see everything working again.
