    I have a question regarding the wireless Linksys HUB i have at home. Right now I have wireless for my desktop. Which works ok, however whenever i turn on my notebook (internal wireless fujitsu 7020D) it seems to be causing interference to my desktop. My desktop seems to be unable to connect to the wireless whenever i have the noteobook. Am i doing something wrong? because my other notebook (sony vaio) which has a pc card never caused any problems.

    thanks!

    No the internal wireless should not cause any problems watsoever to your current wireless network. You say its interfereing with ur desktop, what do you mean by this? Does the signal drop or you have no connection at all???

    Sounds like an IP conflict for some reason, as in the notebook is taking the one the PC is using and the PC gets confused. I'd start by updating the firmware for all of the wireless devices and see if it still happens.
