I was having problems with my wireless connection at
first, and I seem to have fixed it by setting my wirless
card to output it's maximum power. Try searching around
in the device properties or if there was any extra
software, see if you can find it in there. For some
reason (I still haven't figured out exactly why yet...)
certain programs are very sensitive to the power that
your computer connects to the hotspot/wifi router with.
My friend was having problems with MSN Messenger
disconnecting him when he was on wifi. I told him to set
his card to always output at it's maximum power and it
seems to have solved the problem.

Hope this helps,

Nick
