Alright, I use a wireless network adaptor for my computer because I can't get a cable into my room. However every half an hour or so I lose my connection for a few seconds. This causes AIM, downloads, an online games to stop working. I was wondering if anyone here knew of a way to rix it, or whether it would effect MMORPG's like WOW or COH.

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

Every half hour sharp? Or just usually every half hour.

Huh...that's weird. I also have a wireless link. It wasn't working at first, so I did some tinkering with the computer and it was up and running...sad thing is, I can't really remember what I did so I'm no help.

Tell me, what brand of adapter do you have?

Hmm...I have a Netgear, so not much help there.

My best advice is to re-install whatever you have to install with it (m Netgear one came with a CD), restart, and tinker around with your settings, assuming you know what you're doing and go into the right stuff.

If not, have someone who knows what they're doing fix it.
