Wireless Network

I have been having two problems with my home wireless network, one of which just started.  First, I have a Dell Dimension 3000 connected to a Cable Modem and a Linksys WRT54G Router.  I have a Dimension 4600 with a WMP54G wireless PCI card.  Reciently I have been experiencing a problem where I stay connected to the router, but the internet stops working.  After I repair the network, it works fine until it happens again.  I have a good signal, and have tried changing the wireless channels.  Any suggestions?  My second problem is that I once had both computers so that when I went into my network places on one, I could share files and download print drivers from the printer connected to the computer on the router.  I have reinstalled XP on my 4600, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to do that again.  When I go into workgrouped computers nothing happens.  I have tried all of the settings and configs in the create a new network connection wizard with no avail.  Thanks in advance.

 

 

Reasons to replace your Dimension 3000/2400 Motherboard with a Dimension 4600 Motherboard:

1. AGP 8x Slot

2. 2 more memory slots, makes 4 total

3. Max memory is 4gb insted of the 3000's 2gb

4. 2x SATA Hard Drive connectors (for 10,000 RPM Harddrives, ex: Western Digital Raptor)

5. Integrated 5.1 Surround Sound

6. It will enable you to keep upgrading your comp for years to come.

7. Its easy and cheap (for the years of upgrades you get access to)
