Hi,

Thanks for that. Is it a problem with wireless networking in general?

The disconnection occurs after I have transferred around 3 MP3 files.

I want to copy around 2G of files from one machine to another.

My laptop is wired - if I make my desktop wired as well, it seems pointless
doing the wireless networking thing.

I guess it means I also need to get a network card for my desktop -
currently using a Wireless USB adapter (Netgear WG121).

Is there an easy way to connect two PCs together for a one off transfer of
files?

Cheers,

Kalten~!!!
