Wireless network

[James]

I have a MS wirless Router i have 3 pc using cable and i
have 1 notebook that is wireless. I have the notebook
setup fine. When you log onto the machine it fins all the
wireless networks in my neighbohodd. I have just my
wireless netowrk in the preffered networks but when xp
finds new wireless networks it throws me off of mine and i
have to reconnect. Sitting in my living room i can find 2
other wireless netowrks other then mine.

1. make sure you have changed the desfault SSID name from MSHOME and
that you are broadcasting it.
2. make sure you are using 128 bit encryption

Barb,

I have done both of them and still i am sitting in my
living room and when it finds the other networks i lose my
connection and then i have to click on the icon on the
task bar and reconnect to mine

Are you running only XP? Can you try WPA instead of WEP?
