XP and WiFi suck. You tell it not to automatically configure your settings and then when you restart your computer it decideds to take on a mind of its own all over again. I went back to Win2000 just because it let me maintain control of the situation.

My solution was to pick up a wireless bridge and use that instead. Far as your computer knows, you’re on ethernet… but you’re really on wifi. You can even hook it up to a hub or router and have multiple PCs on it at once.

Sweet. My wife has been having this problem quite frequently with her laptop lately. We’ve been resorting unplugging the router and plugging it back in again. This will definitely work better (assuming that it works).
