    Hey all,

    Im having the weirdest conneciton issues with my wireless network. I have my DSL Router connected to the Access Point and then two PCs on the network have wireless USB Belkin cables. They both have been working fine since the setup.

    I moved one PC from the room upstairs downstairs and it could not connect anymore to the network. Sometimes it just couldnt connect, other times it was unable to renew an IP address. I assumed it was conflicting with two other networks it detected (Eircom XXXX XXXXX - where X is random numbers) which are secured. Not to sure where they are coming from, perhaps a neighbour. Anyway, I moved it backup stairs and it still wouldnt work. Now it just cant connect to the network - even though it sees it and has 70% range.

    The other PC is able to connect without any problems.

    Any ideas why this might be?

    Any ideas?

    I tried connecting the Access Point to the machine via ethernet cable, but it doesnt create the connection in network management. Also tried to setup a "home network" but it doesnt do anything after it says its finished.

    Is this a PC issue maybe? Might just format.
