my wirless internet on my dell i6000 (laptop) keeps cutting out. it doenst happen on my dads laptop, or our main computer connected to the router. i will have the internet working for like 15 minutes, then it will cut or for 1 min or so. how can i fix this? the signal when it works is fine, so its not a weak signal. this has only been happening for about a week or so.

which card are you running if it's cardbus/pcmcia? internal? ipw2200 is my guess.

Careful what's between you and the router. Refridgerators are a bitch, they tend to fuck signal strength like a bitch. Some home wiring will do that too. See if moving closer to the router helps.
