Re: Two Laptops, Constant network dropouts - Why?
      Thu Nov 29 2007 10:47 PM

Something else i should add is that both my laptop and my girlfriends laptop seem to be connected for some reason.
To explain, as i type this i have my girlfriends laptop open and online next to me on the table. I decided to close the lid on her computer which puts the computer into sleep mode. After i did this my connection to the network went down. A yellow symbol with a black exclamation appeared on my wireless icon and a message reads that i have limited or no connectivity. Trying to repair the connection doesn't work unless i wake up the other computer! At which point i can reconnect. Can someone tell me why these computers are linked and how i can cut the link so that the laptops a fully independent of each other. Would doing this stop the dropouts we are experiencing?

Any help you can give is much appreciated.
