I've read lots of posts about this, but no solution.
Vista seems to have some problem with wireless connections. We can have two
machines next to each other, one running XP and the other with Vista, and
the
XP one will be solid with excellent signal while the Vista will continuously
drift
in and out. All the hardware is on the HCL.
Here's a clue: When the Vista machine isn't associated with any access
point,
the "list of available networks" will show the local wireless network's SSID
with
five bars of strength. We connect to it and the signal strength as
reflected in
the bars will shortly go down to one or two bars and network connectivity
will
become intermittent and unreliable. The XP machine sitting next to it
doesn't
do any of this.
I've seen this in two different environments with different brands of access
points
and network cards. Installing the latest drivers/firmware (even though all
are on
the HCL) has had no effect.
Is there a solution for this?
Thanks.
