    Looking for a simple answer to this, so I'll pose the problem simply.
    Two wireless laptops. One Lynksys router.
    Wife connects to the internet or 'repairs' and I get disconnected, and vice versa.
    Any ideas?

    Have you DHCP enabled? Or are you using static ip addresses?

    Ok.

    1) Connect one laptop to the wireless. What ip address does it have? (use ipconfig, see FAQ)
    2) Connect second laptop to wireless. What ip address does it have? And does the first laptop still have the same ip address?

    Post the results here

    Comp 1: 192.168.1.34

    Turned on Comp 2: 192.168.1.33

    Mine disconnected...repaired. Address still 192.168.1.34
    Comp 2 then disconnected automatically.

    BTW. ipconfig screen flashes on screen for a millisecond then disappears!

    Start->run->cmd. Then run ipconfig. The results will stay on screen.

    Doesn't seem to be a ip conflict problem as the ip addresses are different. V odd...

    This from the log...

    The IP address lease 0.0.0.0 for the Network Card with network address %2 has been denied by the DHCP server 192.168.1.1 (The DHCP Server sent a DHCPNACK message).

    MS sent this...

    Explanation
    The DHCP Server service did not extend the lease on your computer's IP address, so your computer temporarily lost its connection with the network.

    This could be caused by a scope change. For example, when a roaming laptop moves from one network to another, its IP address lease might need renewal. When the DHCP Client service tries to renew the address, that request might go to a different server that will not extend the lease either because it does not know about this address lease or because it has already issued the address lease to another client.

    This also happens when two DHCP servers are configured to give out addresses in the same IP address range.

    And this...

    User Action
    No user action is required. The DHCP Client service will continue trying to obtain a working IP address until it succeeds, and DHCP establishes the network connection on its own.


    Doesn't make much sense to me, but then I know very little about these things. That's why I post here!!!
