Does this make any sense??

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



I use a Dell Inspiron 600m notebook. When I go to the library [or anywhere
for that matter] I can either connect wirelessly or with CAT 5 Ethernet
which ever I choose with no problem, no hassle. At home it is another story.

If I want to hook up to my MN 500 Router with CAT 5 I have to go nuts
disabling the wireless connection and rebooting several times. If I am
successful in getting connected it doesn't last very long and just
evaporates, no error messages jut goes away.

I have tried all the ports on the router and get the same results.
I have spent several hours with Dell Support.
I have totally started from scratch with my base station setup.
I have swapped out cables.

It makes no sense that this notebook works with whatever is available while
traveling, but, when I get home it becomes the "unruly" kid and drives me
nuts.

Has anyone a clue what it is I am missing?
