Check your "power" settings on the problem computer to see that it matches
the other computers. Power settings can be configured in the computer cmos,
operating system, or network adapter software configuration. I have a D-link
card and when I had the card in save mode it would disconnect and not easily
connect again. I changed it to be powered on 100 percent of the time. If
possible try swapping cards with a computer that works fine to see if the
problem persists. You also may have a flaky card. I had that happen to me
once to. Good luck. I know this stuff can drive one mad. --- Steve
