I have inherited a small wireless network with 4 PC's running W2000 Pro using Netblaster II PCI cards, a Roamabout access point and a cable router for Internet connection. The PC's do not move. One of the PC's recently lost all connection to the network and sees none of the other workstations. When I used the netblaster utility, the card was only receiving a 13% signal. Another PC in the same office (4 feet away) was getting about a 56% signal and working fine. There is nothing between them. After reinstalling the drivers and eliminating a number of other possibilities (all PC's are configured exactly the same) I finally just exchanged the two PC's to elliminate the location factor and possibly point to a bad card. Both workstations suddenly worked fine, each gettings about a 50% signal. 20 minutes later, the original non-communicating PC stopped communicating again. An hour later, the other PC stopped communicating too. Any ideas?
