    I am currently with verizon dsl. Seems to me that I cannot ever stay connected to the net for any longer than 5 hours. I always manage to get logged off. Meanwhile my other computer stay logged on! Please is there anyway to resolve this issue.
    When I do get logged off, I cannot log back in right away. I have to disconnect my wireless connection then reconnect. This is so pathethic. SHould I call verizon or fujitsu about this.
    i use Windows to configure my network as well. :mad: :mad: :mad:

    This happened to me until I disabled all the proprietary speed enhancing stuff on my dlink wifi router so that it would be plain jane 802.11b. My biggest surprise in my fujitsu purchase was that the intel wifi card is retarded, and next time I'll opt for atheros wifi.

    HONESTLY, I didn't think it was fujitsu. I was going to call in to verizon and cancel with them because i was so heated about this.
    So how do I cancel everything and just use 802.11 atheros?
    Thanks DRW for the help :fujitsu:
