Unstable wireless connection

[imobejoas]

Hi guys,
I'm trying out my new wireless environment. It's a very simple set up. Router w/switch, hooked up to AccessPoint. I have one laptop running XP Pro on the network that I'm testing. The wireless NIC (orinoco silver and a d-link) seem to install on XP just fine. The connection, however, is flaky at best. It displays a little bubble saying that it's got an excellent connection, and then it drops and there's no connection. And it jumps back and forth with an active connection and inactive. Probably the equivalent of pulling and plugging the cat 5 on a wired network... I have no idea what's going on... anybody?

Change the channel on the access point. Do you have any 2.4 gig cordless phones in your place or maybe a neighbor with one, microwaves, etc?

I don't think it should be a bad signal because the access point is in the same room as the laptop. And this is a regular bedroom. I have tried changing the channel and that doesn't work either.

Thanks though!

Anybody else?
