Hi all

I wonder if anyone can shed any light on a problem I am having please.

I am connecting to my friend's unsecured wireless network (Netgear modem), however, two strange things are happening:

1) The Wireless Network Connection box is telling me the network is 'Not Connected' when it is as I can connect to the internet.
2) My connection is disconnecting from the internet approximately every ten minutes, but my friend's laptop is staying connected when this occurs.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers
