Re: Router drops connection

Today my wife said she could not access the Internet so I tried some pinging
and found that all combinations worked except none of the other machines
could ping my wife's laptop.
It turned out she was able to access the Internet after all. I think it just
took a little time for the wireless connection to hook up.
But I did a little further investigation and found, not surprising, that in
Network Neighbourhood, my wife's laptop does not show up either, but she can
see all the other machines.
I suspect that when my wife's laptop was repaired, Dell changed some setting
because earlier the machine was visible on the network.
But I checked the properties of the LAN connection and I don't see anything
obvious. The services and protocols are:

LAN Connection:
Client for MS Networks
File and Printer Sharing for MS Networks
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)

Wireless Connection:
Client for MS Networks
Intel Wireless Connection agent
File and Printer Sharing for MS Networks
QoS Packet Scheduler
Wireless security Protocol
Homenet Manager Wireless Protocol
Auto Internet Protocol
AEGIS Protocol
WLAN Transport Protocol
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)

The Windows Firewall is disabled, as it is on all the machines, but the
Personal Firewall in Norton or McAffee , my wife's laptop and my new Dell
desktop has McAffee, the two other machines has Norton Internet Security.
