. Laptop O/S Win XP Pro Wireless PCMCIA: WPC11 BEFW11S4

I have 2 major problems which i cannot see on the rest of the forums!

I have had everything working fine but every 2 to 3 hors my laptop stops
seeing the network??? I lose the connection my main PC can see the laptop
but my laptop cannnot see my main files.

In the Network connection i get two connections LAN -High Speed which always
works enabled.

But on connection i get Internet Gateway come up but it is always disabled i
cannot connect it, but on my main PC the are both enabled?

I do not know if this is the problem but why do i keep loosing the sharing
facility????

I also have problems with a drop in connection even thou the signal strength
is excellent.

Please help i am going spare with anger.

Cheers dale
